BlueMeezer - I just bought the exact same bag on the on-line outlet for 70% off - the sale price I could not resist - I love the look and feel of the bag but noticed it is heavy - heavier than my double swagger - it also feels a bit bulky - not sure if I will keep it. I am also worried about ruining the snake on the handles - a heavily used area. Tell me why you love yours?
Here is the current state of my snake handles. I've carried everyday for at least a month, probably more. Usually just from car to office and home. I think this started after being in a slight rainfall. This is the imside of the handle, I think it would bother me more if it was on the other side. Still love this bag and will keep using it.I wanted a denim 1941 bag, but the regular Rogue style and the Swaggers just don't appeal to me. I like the looks of the satchel. I would have preferred the handles not be snake, but I'm not going to fuss at that price, especially when I'll probably just tuck them into the side pockets and use the strap anyway. I also have a lot of bags to rotate among, so this one won't necessarily see a lot of use. It does feel heavy, but I don't think it will be a problem. I haven't actually used it yet, so we will see. Ultimately, though, I just think it's gorgeous and fell in love.
