good alternative?
Permalink Closed

I like this Anna Corinna bag, but I think it's a season-love, not a lifetime love, and thus not worth $350.


City Tote


What do you think of the alternative from Urban? It's smaller (13x13 instead of 18x18) but it is real leather. I'd use it as a work tote.

I love messenger bags and I, too, have a crush on the tan Anna Corinna bag but $350 seems a bit much. I like it.. but not for that price. Any place with a coupon?


The UO seems like a great alternative.. esp with it being leather! How much are they? Do they come only in red and black?


Halleybird, pls review if you get either of them!

I've seen the UO in real life, and really wanted to buy it.  The leather actually doesn't feel to bad, it's really big, and there are a lot of nice pockets to keep it organized.  I thought it was very "east coast chic" if that means anything...hmm, I'm not very good at describing, but I thought it was a nice large bag to lug around for class or whatever.

I really like the UO one.  It actually looks like a more practical size!  It is a great alternative!

I think the UO is a great alternative.  I like it even more than the AC bag!


Oh, and thanks for posting this.  I've been looking for a red bag so I'm going to go check it out.

I just saw the urban bags in person, and the style is cute but I didn't really like them. The hardware was flimsy and the leather was stiff.

Wait - I don't think I saw that exact style - it was similar but didn't have the handle.
