This is my big bag paranoia, as it's happened to me so many times over the years, especially when the weather warms up and our underarm area gets a little, ahem, moist... Guessing you would have mentioned it, but still, had to ask. Looks absolutely gorgeous though. And I'm loving the old school kicks!

It's always exciting when a purchase gets better with wear. It really is a gorgeous bag. <br /><br />My essentials have been my Max Mara coats that I had tailored to fit (a camel cashmere coat in camel and cocoon coat in black). Lovely coats make winter a bit more bearable.

I was leaning towards the market tote in kiwi, but it's the only color that they decided to only make in the magazine size! Honestly the smaller size would probably be better for me as I tend not to carry that much stuff around with me but I like the versatility of the market size. And now I'm afraid they're going to sell out again before I finally make up my mind! minghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18124883456360158108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7889754957463731831.post-44424743688434340852014-03-12T10:02:22.900-04:002014-03-12T10:02:22.900-04:00I really want a Petra tote, but I bought a Rib &am...I really want a Petra tote, but I bought a Rib & Hull tote last year so I can't justify it.

They look great paired with your tote - a bit street, a bit of polish. <br /><br />My current essentials are an old pair of black Zara trousers that have the perfect slouchy/tapered fit, and any number of boxy tops in a breatheable material. linhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00638024559737049131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7889754957463731831.post-45096162521538751812014-03-11T21:58:13.688-04:002014-03-11T21:58:13.688-04:00super luxe bag. love to see the return of adidas a...super luxe bag. love to see the return of adidas after nike!

Her...Gah; you're making me want this bag again! Here's what happened: after your last review (and my hemming and hawing)- I finally pulled the plug and bought it. But once I received it, I didn't like how structured it was. It reminded me of an expensive Longchamp bag- which I thought I could replace with the Petra. I also thought it seemed too "big" to slug around on the train everyday. But now (!) it looks so perfect all slouchy like. So, back I go to hemming and hawing about buying it a second time.Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06085132921858478528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7889754957463731831.post-36328656949593396882014-03-11T16:52:26.854-04:002014-03-11T16:52:26.854-04:00mine is the black one!mine is the black one!miss sophiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09427223953623415005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7889754957463731831.post-82482231111601053132014-03-11T16:36:51.878-04:002014-03-11T16:36:51.878-04:00What color is your Market tote?
