Decision time

My hunt for the perfect bag is still continuing. However, I hope to have this hunt ended on or before this coming Friday. All the extra hours I have put in at work recently have translated into the extra pennies for buying lovely things, such as this bag of my dreams.

Now, I tried to remain loyal to the local economy, but the locals failed me. Nothing I found satisfied me and my needs in this new bag of perfection. Turning my hunt online, I think there is a winner, the only decision to make now it one of colour…

I can get the bag from three different US retailers, Urban Outfitters, Anthropologie and Kitson. The price and colour vary with each store, but they all do ship to Australia.

First up is the dark brown leather one from Urban Outfitters. Its $289 USD but will include free shipping (This ends up being about $321.47 AUD)!

Next up is the tan leather on from Anthropoligie. Its $339.11 AUD and there is an extra $50AUD shipping.

Lastly is the grey one from Kitson. Its $312.70 AUD and there is an extra $79.03 AUD shipping.

I must admit, I’m not 100% in love with the grey bag from Kitson, I don’t think that public transport every day will be very kind to the colour, and I want this bag for longevity. I have previously had a Marc for Marc Jacob back in a similar colour and it crushed me to watch it get beat up and marked and stained though general wear and tear as well as the disrespect of other commuters. I don’t want this for my new bag!

Which one do you think I should get? All advice is greatly appreciated!

*Edit* on further internet inspection, I saw that it comes in teal from Nordstroms, but it was hella expensive and I’m not a fan on teal at the best of times.
