Which color?
Permalink Closed

I've decided I do like this bag and may order it after my next paycheck. I can't decide on the color, though. I am worried the black looks too bikerish, but it would go with a lot. On the other hand, I can't tell what color the red really is. On my screen now, it looks bright red, but on my work computer it looked like a darker, more muted color. Any thoughts from those who've seen it IRL?


I wish there was a tan color like the Anna Corinna bag, but oh well.




ETA poll, duh!

The red looks cheap to me, it could be my screen too. I think the black looks cool and longer staying power then the red.

I voted for red, but that could be because I've been needing a red bag

I saw the red one IRL yesterday and it's bright red, not muted. I originally thought the hardware looked kind of cheap on the website, but it was pretty nice in person. It was smaller than I thought it would be though. From the pictures below, I wonder if they have two sizes, because it really didn't look like it could ever be as wide as a person's legs.

I don't know which one I'd vote for. I think whichever one you could use more?

yes please! And thanks for your review Shello.


Relrel- when you see them, can you let me know if you think they're big enough for, say, a small binder and my lunch? TIA!

I ordered the red one and should have it in the next couple of days.  If you'd like, I can post pics when I get it.

I saw them at UO yesterday.  The red was very bright to me.  I like the black more.  I would have bought too, if my guy didn't pull me away from it .

i stopped in at urban today...but couldn'd find the bag. however...


i did find this:


 Double Strap and Zipper Bag


this bag's measurments (based on what the website tells us) are slightly smaller than the one you want, halley, and it definitely is big enough for a binder and notebook. the lunch might get squashed unless everything is going to lay nice and flat inside. the leater was really nice on it too, im my opinion, and the color was pretty nice, flashy but not garishly so.


so...if ya wanna take a chance on the two bags being similar material then i think you are good to go. the sizes are pretty similar so you should be fine with that if you don't find something else.


hope that helps...!
