Strike two...
...another miss in my quest to find my new carry all bag.
I spied In A Snap II over at the KC Web site and thought it would be perfect. I liked the metal grommets and the tote bag feel, but the best part was the beautiful eggplant muted purple which would make the bag stand out from anything else in my closet. Plus as a Bostonian I tend to wear black all the time and an eggplant purple would be perfect to go along with my head to toe black.
So I checked out the bag at the local KC store and didn't make the purchase. The bag wasn't as wide as I pictured, and I could see I would have trouble fitting all my stuff into the bag neatly. The leather was shinier then it looked on the site and the lovely muted eggplant was much brighter in person. More of a reddish-purple then muted eggplant. Always a good idea to see a bag in person instead of just ordering off the web.
But as luck would have it KC is doing a drive for clothes for the homeless until 2/15. So I dropped off a few old clothes, and now have 20% off coupon to use until mid-Feb. Check it out if you have a local store.
Keep an eye out for the next round of KC bags, etc. Sounds like there is some good stuff on the way:
"...a series of snakeskin boxy bags and slouchy totes in alternating bright and battered hues..."

Bostonians wear a lot of black? I don't. I haven't noticed it, either.

I know i sure do! and i've had people from the west coast and other warmer climates say they notice a HUGE difference in the lack of color in the clothes people from Boston wear. I think it has to do with all the black winter coats. I think we are getting a little better...maybe.
