HELP!!!
I
recently found one of the brompton mini-hobos in safari cat print
returned and marked down in a B&M. Two weeks later I had to return
it b/c the twisty-fasterer-thingy came loose and wouldn't hold the bag
closed any more. : ( I really grew to love that purse! Right size,
right weight, right strap length...
My question:
Should I purchase the brompton gold leather mini-hobo (waaay on sale...)
to replace the safari cat print one? I am traveling to NYC on Monday
for a conference and really want a mini-brompton bag to carry. I have
the only one in my area B& M stores one on hold for me through close
tomorrow. Should I get it, or is the gold color not a good choice?
If I were going to get a leather one, should I get a
different color (not on sale) than gold?
Any thoughts you could manage to send quickly would be GREATLY appreciated!
BTW, I look forward to posting OOTDs while in NYC next week!
Thanks in advance!
There is a review of the gold hobo on andreas blog(lifesdivine.blogspot.com).
ReplyDeleteHTH!
I like the gold hobo for summer,but the safari cat could be year round,i think.
HTH
Hadn't thought of that...thanks! With the 30% promo, I ordered the safari cat print online this morning. There were some luke-warm comments about the gold color on the JCA mothership...I'll have to go in and take a closer look today, I guess.
DeleteGirl, you're going to NYC -- buy one there. I have the safari cat one and love it, but I have the larger size in the henna and love that color. The smaller size bag works better for me though. Can't comment on the gold color since I haven't seen it IRL.
ReplyDeleteLOL I though about that! I even called the search specialist to see if I could find/have one put on hold for me in NYC. No luck. I've shopped J.Crews (emphasis on the 's') NYC before...it's nearly impossible to find clearance items there. And, I thought I'd rather spend my time drooling over collection items that aren't available here/online than hunting down a brompton bag. : )
DeleteI wish I could be of help, but I'm pretty much useless when it comes to handbags! Your trip to NYC does sound exciting though!
