Black bag dilemma, take two!

It looks like my black bag dilemma is turning into not so much of a dilemma after all. Suddenly I'm finding black bags left and right that I could (presumably) not only live with, but love. I found another one today at Luna Boston, Hayden-Harnett's Lorca Flap Demi Bag.

I was surprised by the dimensions - 16"w x 7.5"h x 1.5"d - which is a lot bigger than both the styling and the word 'demi' would imply. It's only a bit smaller than the Marc Jacobs I wrote about two posts down (17.5" x 10.5" (with folded top) x 2" ), but not bulky, which I like, and big enough for serious tote-age, if need be. I like the styling and the leather looks good, and you can't beat style and substance for $273.00!

As a possible addition to what seems to be a growing collection of brown and almost-brown bags, Hayden-Harnett's Havana hobo caught my eye. Also at Luna Boston.

It's like the punky little sister of the Marc Jacobs Polina hobo. It's a bit bigger than both the Lorca Flap and the Marc Jacobs. It's 18" at its widest point x 12"h, x approximately 3"d. Mmmm, that color is luscious. So's the price, $383.00! I could get both of those babies on one order. Hmm.

I think the Lorca Flap is winning the black bag race. Stay tuned.

Today's bag: Still the Pierotucci Birkin-style bag.
