Green Gap Tote
I ran out and got a green Gap leather tote as soon as my friend Jaren mentioned to me that they had gone on sale. At first I wasn't sure if is was a good purchase. There was a little too much yellow in the green, and I am more of a blue green person then a yellow green person. I also tend to avoid bags without a tie or zip on the top since I am afraid of losing stuff. Plus the stap is too small to go over my sholder.
But this bag ended up really growing me. I used it is my "personal item" carry on when I flew home to Boston and I liked that the top was open since I could easily throw stuff into the bag. My mom kept commenting on how she loved the yellow green and how much the color "popped" when held against my long black winter coat. I didn't see what she meant until I saw the picture to the left the I accidentally took in the mirror of my reception venue.
So now I love this bag. The green is perfect for spring and the shape is so classic and simple I should be able to use it all the time.
The totes are no longer online, but I've seen them in the stores at the local Gaps. The pick and black are also nice.
Comments
The green tote looks great. You can fit a bunch of stuff in it and the bag still looks cool.

They have a couple black ones left at my local Gap... I would have loved to get one in a color other than black, so it's my loss.

I have this bag in pink. I just adore it. I toss anything and everything in it. There are a couple in green on Ebay. Your picture/post encouraged me to bid on one!

It's always the things that we buy not liking too much at the beginning that grows on us, and we love it so much we end up using it constantly. Maybe because while it is not as pretty as other things we like at first sight, it is practical, and really, not too bad looking, so it lasts longer than the other things we buy.

Anyone know where I can get a black leather tote like the green one. I need black and can't find it anywhere. Thanks for your input.
