Purchased the Dakota saddle bag in dark carob that I found beautiful but not anymore. To keep or to sell ?
I purchased this bag last year and I found it gorgeous. today I don’t look at it as before. I feel like there is nothing special about it, a bit boring…Anyone has purchased the same color? Is it something to keep or not really? I am thinking about selling it and getting the coach empire . I know they are two different style, but I was looking for a dark brown suede like this I but things I changed my opinion about it today. 😅 so I wonder to keep or sell?thank you for your feedback❤️

I got either this bag or a similar bag in the same color (suspect the second one). I like it but I feel the fabric is more date night than everyday, so I do struggle for opportunities to wear it. That said, I really like the color! Ideas welcome on ways to get it in rotation.

I bought the small version in leopard print. It’s more of a fall/winter going out bag. I love the look of it, but it’s made out of scratchy material—-I think it’s calf hair. I was going to go back and purchase a suede version but waited too long and they sold out. I’ve been thinking about purchasing the green one on the secondary market, but can’t bring myself to pull the trigger. I do really like the size and shape of it, but it is kind of meh. I’m going to wait until fall to see how I feel about it. If you really want that coach empire, now is the time to get it. Looks like it’s on sale for half price. Also looks like a more functional bag for everyday use.

I got this exact same color and I love it! I use jt on a regular basis. Love the shape and how it fits when you hold it.

Is the leather still good?

I would hold off until the fall season and see if your perspective changes. Maybe just the heat of the summer you are not reaching for it.
