I went down and checked them out. They are indeed gorgeous and I ended up with the army color, which is a richer green than it looks online, but still very military. The black was kind of blah, and the taupe out of the question because of the way I travel. The cognac was pretty but more a burnt sienna, and didn't call to me (you know how a bag has to call to you, right?).

I've taken the bag home and started stuffing it with theoretical travel items. It's a little soft and slouchy, but I'm not sure I want a stiffer bag against my hip anyway. The only complaint I have is that the long strap is really long for a shrimp like me - I had to put it on the shortest hole. Otherwise it's a fab bag and I am hoping to get lots of use out of it. Plus I had $60 of Notes!

Will post pics when I can - I'm a single mom this week while DH is out of town, so things are hectic!
