That could be a good option. </p> <p>The "bowling bag" is&nbsp;a bit too small. </p> <p>The Marc Jacobs is borderline too small but I'll look at it some more. I prefer bags with a single compartment especially when they are small-ish.</p> <p>The&nbsp;Chinese Laundry one is a good possibility, although&nbsp;the size is not very clear on the L&amp;T site. I also found two other&nbsp; possibilities on L&amp;T shown in finds below (in case anyone else is following this thread). I'm going to order a couple from&nbsp;L&amp;T, I have two stores reasonably close so returns are&nbsp;easy.</p> <p><i><b>Thanks Angie!!!! &nbsp;</b></i></p> </p> <p>Bennett, I tend to agree with you,&nbsp;it seems that most of them have a solid back, as you say, and I'm ok with that as long as the front is predominantly leopard print.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lovely-leopard-bag-not-quite-right#post-1749783 Sat, 12 Nov 2016 15:25:09 +0000 Bennett 1749783@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Am I alone in rejecting handbags that don't have the fabulous print/pattern on both sides? It appears that all but one here have a solid black back. So dissapointing! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lovely-leopard-bag-not-quite-right#post-1749774 Sat, 12 Nov 2016 14:06:02 +0000 Angie 1749774@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How about one of these?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lovely-leopard-bag-not-quite-right#post-1749773 Sat, 12 Nov 2016 13:45:54 +0000 Chris987 1749773@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Angie! </p> <p>Ummlila, I agree about leopard looking better when there is not somuch black in it</p> <p>Gigi, I can TOTALLY relate to what you are saying. Figuring out what you want can be so daunting, plus most people change their style over time so just when you think you have it figured out, you change your mind...:-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lovely-leopard-bag-not-quite-right#post-1749735 Sat, 12 Nov 2016 07:42:11 +0000 Gigi 1749735@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it when we learn about what we are really looking for after we have ordered something that didn't work out. What makes me frustrated is when I don't really know what I want, and I end up spending a lot of time trying stuff out trying to get a handle on what I like and don't like. So here's to success on your next attempt! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lovely-leopard-bag-not-quite-right#post-1749701 Sat, 12 Nov 2016 02:23:20 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1749701@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like satchels, but I find that leopard works best when it is not so black. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lovely-leopard-bag-not-quite-right#post-1749688 Sat, 12 Nov 2016 01:08:06 +0000 Angie 1749688@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love that you're being picky.

I think you are able to articulate very well what you really want in a leopard bag. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lovely-leopard-bag-not-quite-right#post-1749599 Fri, 11 Nov 2016 19:13:13 +0000 Chris987 1749599@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ </p> <p>This posting was inspired by Angie’s recent blog posting on&nbsp;leopard bags AND her forum posting on the lesson of the pink suit - <a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-lesson-the-bright-pink-jcrew-suit"><a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-lesson-the-bright-pink-jcrew-suit" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....jcrew-suit</a><i></i></a>&nbsp;<i> " LISTEN&nbsp;TO YOUR FEELINGS. Don't take the emotion out of your style."</i><b></b></p> <p>I finally received this leopard bag 3 weeks after I&nbsp;ordered it from Nordstrom Rack. Deliveries from them take&nbsp;a long time&nbsp;as discussed<br /> here &nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nordstrom-rack-1">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....rom-rack-1</a> .</p> <p>It’s a lovely&nbsp;bag, has that new leather smell, beautiful&nbsp;construction, and I was able to confirm that a leopard bag in this color palette will be a super&nbsp;versatile addition to my wardrobe and go with a LOT. Upon closer examination the following issues made&nbsp;themselves apparent</p> <p>&nbsp;- I have always worn shoulder bags, not sure why, &nbsp;but a satchel style just feels awkward and&nbsp;fussy to me. I’ve analyzed this over and over&nbsp;and always come back to the same place so I'm going with it. I thought this satchel might work because it has a&nbsp;shoulder strap and the handles fold down. However the shoulder strap attaches on&nbsp;opposite sides rather than on the ends of the bag so it feels very unstable&nbsp;with the shoulder strap on. </p> <p>&nbsp;- In the find pic it looks like a leopard bag with&nbsp;black leather strips around the leopard print areas. In reality it is a black bag with two leopard&nbsp;patches/pockets on the front and nothing on the back. Too much black, not enough leopard. </p> <p>So, it’s going back and I will continue the search. No&nbsp;regrets, this bag has confirmed/solidified what I want. I’m looking for a bag&nbsp;around this size, in these colors, that works primarily as a shoulder bag so a<br /> soft satchel with handles that have an 8 or 9” drop would work, and is mostly&nbsp;leopard print. I’m willing to splurge a little to get a good quality one. Nothing&nbsp;on Angie’s posting quite fits this description but I’m very optimistic that I’ll&nbsp;find one to my liking. I love looking at your blog posting Angie, the colors are just so appealing! &nbsp;</p>
