Does anyone own an Andrea Brueckner saddle bag? I really want one for Christmas, but am not sure which size to ask for. The tan medium looks adequate, but I'm not sure. Also, anyone know what the quality is like? They look pretty nice. Does anyone know if the tan is a reddish tan or just tan? In some pictures (like Brueckner's website) it looks reddish, but on a different website the bag looked tan and a bit bland.
I have the Medium Saddle bag and I love it. I get so many compliments on it every time I use it. It's quickly become my most used bag. The quality is great, I totally abuse it and it still looks brand new. The color is a really pretty dark mahagony brown, it's not shiny though like on the website. The leather is really soft too and it has these cool little pockets inside that my phone fits into perfectly so I don't have to dig for it. I definatelly recommend it. Let me know if you need help with size. I can take a pic with my Medium one so you could see what it look like on a person to judge the size better.

the more i see this bag... the more and more i like it. unfortunately, it's not really what i need right now, but i would gladly trade in my bulga for one of these beauties!
the tan is definitely a slightly red, cognac tan. i think the quality is really good. someone at a store that carries her brand and botkier told me they were made by the same factory. as for size, to me the medium is a large bag.. and the large is oversized.
Dot, have you seen the tan bag in person? I would order that one over the brown if I knew it was actually a cognac, reddish tan versus a washed-out tan.

I have the brown medium one and I like it a lot, it's my everyday bag. The quality of the leather is really good. You should get the brwon one I think the color looks richer. I've seen the tan one and the brown looks better IMO. I bought mine from NessaLeeStyle with a 20% off coupon code.

wetbandit.. i have seen the bag in person and it's definitely more reddish tan. very rich color! congrats on your purchase! you will have to review when you get it.
I really like the large saddle bag in tan. I guess I don't mind the size, since I carry lots of things, and love the look of big purses! I just recently purchased one from Feng Junk for 20% off, with coupon code 'grechen05'. I love it, and I get lots of compliments on it.
I got this in the mail today, and I am so glad I bought it! At first, I was like, Holy s*it, this is a big bag, but I took it for a test run while I shopped at Barnes and Noble and I was very happy with it. The leather is gorgeous, and while it's a bit big, I think it'll be nice, especially for travelling. I even got a compliment on it! Thanks for everyones input!
