My New Banana Republic Handbag! YUMMY!

[BrownEyes]

I''m so excited!

I fell in LOVE with this Banana Republic handbag from their new line of premier handbags:

FYI, I purchased the chocolate brown handbag that''s featured in the above link (with the braided handle and side flap pockets).

AND it arrived today! Yeah! Free shipping too!

It''s absolutely beautiful - as well made (IMHO) as a quality designer handbag with a gorgeous embossed interior and quality pebble grain leather.

I can''t wait to waterproof it and start to wear it!

Just thought I''d share ...

I love their new bags!
I am for sure ordering the small black hobo.

I discovered BR's premium handbag line last season. I was itching for a Marc Jacobs Stella bag, but didn't want to pay $500+ for IMO a very trendy bag. So.... I bought the Bloomsbury big tote pictured below. I love it. The quality is great, and I've gotten a ton of compliments on it. My mom calls it my Mooo bag- she says that all the pockets make it look like the underside of a cow's belly (thanks, Mom!)

The newest line is great! I dig the Kempton Harness tote. BrownEyes- your bag is too cool. Enjoy!

Great finds, Brown Eyes! Wish I was in the market for one (read: had dough) right now! Very cool.

((is it just me or did one set looks kinda Marc Jacobs/Hogan and one more Balenciaga/Ferragamo??)

So glad that you ladies are seing the same Marc Jacobs-like style that I saw when I fist spotted these BR bags ... In my opinion, the quality is comparable - the leather is thick and luxurious - you could smell the bag across the room when I opened the box.

And it''s SO roomy, without having everything simply fall to the bottom which is often the case with larger handbags.

We live in a snowy/rainy climate so I don''t wear my LV speedy too often (afraid of water spots on the leather ... ). I''m so excited to have this bag for everyday wear.

Decodelighted: I really only splurged ''cause I had a -0- balance on my Banana Republic card, and they were offering free shipping. Now I can pay it off over the next month or so.

Those bags are beautiful. I think I saw a similar one to the brown one you bought at the BR by my house last week. I loved it! I do want a brown leather bag, but gotta wait until after the Xmas credit cards are taken care of...Enjoy that bag!
