Anthropologie - bags galore!

I hadn't visited the Anthropologie site in a while, so I popped by this morning before going shopping. Holy cow! They've had an influx of cute bags since the last time I surfed by! These are the ones I'd spend money on.

johnny utah satchel, 8"l, 11.5"w, 5.25"d. $378.00. Vaguely Marc Jacobs-ish in style. I love the color! White bags have been huge this year, but I've never been much of a white bag person. This taupe would be much more my style.

jetway bag, 13"l, 14"w, 3"d. $348.00. Kind of 'Marc Jacobs meets Coach' styling. White leather, with the foldover flap and buckled front pockets that have been popular this season.

gracie handbag, 10"h, 12"w, 3.5"d. $398.00. Cute bag, but I can't see wearing this one more than two days in a row. Navy and white is such a clean, crisp combination, and this would be a great accent piece for summer outfits.

lola handbag, 12"h, 16"w, 2"d. $498.00. Wow, a nice budget alternative to Celine's big, beautiful Clandestine (and its big price, $1395.00). That taupe is definitely speaking to me.

melopita satchel, 8.5"l, 13"w, 6"d. $398.00. I'm a sucker for a Speedy/Boston/barrel-type bag, and this is no exception. I like the detailing; my only quibble is the color, which is a little on the boring side. But I really like the detailing.

double agent bag, 6.5"l, 14"w, 5.75"w. $328.00. I should save this one for one of my black bag posts, but here it is. I like the styling, but I'm not sure about those straps - would they be long enough to properly sling over my shoulder? Is it just a bit too trendy? Hmmm.

Today's bag: Pierotucci Birkin-inspired bag. I've taken this one to work quite a few times, so for toting purposes, and going out to lunch purposes, it's been fine. This is the first time I've taken it shopping, where the hands-on factor is much more important.

I wasn't actively annoyed as I've been with other handbags I've used when shopping. It doesn't quite hit the crook of my elbow, but it's close enough that I was barely aware I had the bag on my arm as I shopped. Still, because of the mostly hand- or arm-held aspect of the design, I don't know if it would be good choice for hardcore shopping involving lots of bags or hangers. Clearly, further experimentation (shopping!) is needed.
