Well, I think you made a good decision. Light bags are harder to keep pristine, that's for sure. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/la-crew-zap-claire---my-bag-at-brooks-brothers#post-709619 Sat, 01 Sep 2012 22:54:38 +0000 tarzy 709619@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Zap - I ordered it ... and then sent it back. It is indeed gorgeous, but I realized that I'd be too worried about getting it dirty, and Shiny (Jennifer) made a good point about the perforations being hard to clean. I'm just not the careful type, and I know the worry would outweigh the joy. </p> <p>Also, to be very, very picky - I felt that the perforations in the one I received were slightly askew, and that would have bothered me! I also wondered if it was too big for me? It was lovely and I really thought long and hard about it, but at the end of the day, back it went.</p> <p>It did tell me I'm ready for a beautiful bag, though, so I'm keeping my eyes open! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/la-crew-zap-claire---my-bag-at-brooks-brothers#post-709606 Sat, 01 Sep 2012 22:36:29 +0000 Anonymous 709606@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tarzy, how did it go with the purse? Was it a keeper? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/la-crew-zap-claire---my-bag-at-brooks-brothers#post-698823 Mon, 20 Aug 2012 20:50:38 +0000 Vicki 698823@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I remember you touching that bag at Brooks Brothers! How could I forget. It was instant love and now that's it's on sale, the rest could be history. So happy for you and hope to see it IRL at our next gathering. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/la-crew-zap-claire---my-bag-at-brooks-brothers#post-696093 Fri, 17 Aug 2012 04:05:49 +0000 rae 696093@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>SO COOL! You have not forgotten about this bag after all this time... very happy you were able to snag one! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/la-crew-zap-claire---my-bag-at-brooks-brothers#post-696032 Fri, 17 Aug 2012 01:55:05 +0000 Lisa 696032@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That bag is gorgeous! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/la-crew-zap-claire---my-bag-at-brooks-brothers#post-696006 Fri, 17 Aug 2012 01:19:31 +0000 Suz 696006@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It is gorgeous!!</p> <p>And P.S. We have a question on my Gibson jacket thread. Was S a size down for you or your usual? </p> <p>Keeping in mind that you have shrunk recently. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/la-crew-zap-claire---my-bag-at-brooks-brothers#post-695995 Fri, 17 Aug 2012 01:08:12 +0000 tarzy 695995@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shiny - no worries! That's what this forum is all about. I appreciate hearing the good, the bad, and the "Oh no she didn't!" I'll take it all into consideration when it arrives. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/la-crew-zap-claire---my-bag-at-brooks-brothers#post-695981 Fri, 17 Aug 2012 00:46:25 +0000 shiny 695981@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh Tarzy, please don't hate me for saying this! I am also white bag lover. I would just worry about the perforations being hard to clean. I say this because my favorite white bag cleans just fine on the smooth leather parts -- it's the braided handles that my cobbler gives me the evil eye about. And for good reason. So difficult to clean! </p> <p>That said, my braided handle bag has lasted at least 4 or 5 years now. I think I may eek out another year with it. I am definitely already on the hunt for replacement and have nixed anything with perforations on the assumption it would be too difficult to keep it clean.</p> <p>Otherwise I love the bag... just raising that potential issue. Pardon if it's already been raised before! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/la-crew-zap-claire---my-bag-at-brooks-brothers#post-695978 Fri, 17 Aug 2012 00:42:10 +0000 tarzy 695978@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Zap - I've marked your reply "Wisdom." </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/la-crew-zap-claire---my-bag-at-brooks-brothers#post-695775 Thu, 16 Aug 2012 21:17:25 +0000 Anonymous 695775@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OMG it was meant to be.

Claire's post about her love for Zap's bag reminded me of that one, so I went to the site to look at it ... and it was on sale! I ordered it.</p> <p>I figure I can always return it if I decide I don't still love it or I start to hyperventilate about the price (still dear, even on sale.)</p> <p>Claire - you totally enabled me, and I thank you! </p>
