Since I don’t really change bags from day to day, I would probably carry it everywhere!

I am going to D.C. this weekend and wish I already owned this bag – I would totally use it as my travel bag!! I normally am not a fan of slouchy bags, but this is the exception! I really, really like it. I commute in flats but always have a cute pair of heels in my bag, and I could throw them in there and still have room left over for my snack, bottled water, iPad, etc. In other words, I would carry it everywhere.
AVM
Everywhere! Would love to carry it to work, and then throw a diaper changing kit in it and tote it around on the weekends—a new baby at home means no new bag for me unless I win this one!
Becky
During the week, I’d use this bag to stash my heels on the way to work and my metro reading on the way home. On the weekend, I would pack it with a novel, brie, and crackers for a lazy afternoon in Central Park (heat wave permitting, of course).
Cindy A.
I would use it as my everyday bag and carry it everywhere! Thank you so much for offering such a generous giveaway. :)
C
GORGEOUS bag!!! I would wear to professional events, work, church and business travel.
Claire
What a beautiful bag! It looks perfect for a long weekend visiting friends and family out of state or for a Sunday filled with brunch and football. I’d try NOT to take it to work – I’m always over-stuffing my work totes with papers and lunches and spinning cleats – this is too pretty for such things.
Franny
I’d use to carry all of my binders in. I love big bags that are cute too.
Bonnie
This bag would go perfectly with my fall weekend uniform: sweater, skinny jeans and brown flat boots. I’d take it everywhere!
M
Beautiful bag! I’m still a student so I’d wear it on the weekends for the occasional no-laptop-required trip now, and wear it to work (knock on wood) next year. I’m sure it would still look like new!
Cait
I would wear this bag to work, I would carry it to see the clerk, I would bring this bag to a bar, I would load it up when I had to travel far. I would sling this bag over my arm so that the world could see my charm!
fitz
I attend tons of conferences during the year. This would come to all of them, great bag and looks professional but its large enough I can fit my materials and a water bottle, cell phone, wallet etc. in it.
plus… it’s pretttttttyyyyyy
Robin
As others have said, seems like a perfect “everyday” bag. Great to take to the office, but would also easily work if going at afterwards as well.
Gauss
I’d wear the bag to work, on days when I don’t have to carry too many papers…

Bonnie
I’d wear it everywhere. I work at a corporate office, but also am a mom of a 20 month old, so I’m also on the run a lot when I’m not at work. It looks big enough to stash my everyday work items in, but also throw in a few fun things for the kid when we’re out and about!
Sara C.
Um, everywhere? That bag is gorgeous. Particularly in both the blue and tmoro.
Anonymous
I would use it for work (university professor) and especially on teaching days, since the pockets and larger size will enable me to carry the assortment of tools I need for the day (keys, file folders, laser pointer, markers, phone, wallet, water etc). The style looks like it will be perfect for transitioning from the Chicago train commute, to the office, to the classroom, and then out for the evening. Not too formal, not too casual, not too old, not too young.
EduAttny
In addition to this being a great work bag, I’d love to use this on the weekends for packing the essentials for a night away (i.e., makeup, a good book, etc.)
LSM
Since I’m often running from work to grad school to kids’ events, this would be the perfect bag to keep all of the essentials in one place. I might have to request the crimson just for a great dash of color if I’m the lucky winner, but I’ll admit the black would be a great versatile basic!
Sydney Bristow
I’d wear it everywhere! Its a gorgeous bag. In my perfect world, I’d carry it to dinner in the city with skinny jeans and riding boots for a casual evening out.
Mary Lane
If I won I’d get crimson and wear it EVERYWHERE. I love Linea Pelle!
Magda
I’d carry this bag to work (and finally retire the ratty, holey Longchamp I’ve had since my first year of law school!).
Jess
An everywhere bag, for sure! Everywhere except concerts, maybe.
JJ
Definitely would carry it anywhere. LOVE the color.

I’d wear it to the office and out to dinner with teh hubby. seems like it’d transition from suit to jeans well.
MissJackson
Gorgeous! This looks like a great every day bag, and I’d love it for both work and play. It also would be my “go to” wedding bag because it’s sophisticated yet big enough to hold flip flops!
Cynthia
I would definitely take that bag to work and everywhere else for that matter. It is a great looking bag!
Ashley
I would wear this on the weekends out shopping!
M
What a great bag! I don’t live in the same state where I grew up or went to college and this bag looks like a great “personal item” as a carry on when traveling. It would hold everything I need and be a fabulous accessory for family gatherings, weddings, or whatever event I find myself traveling for.
justvikki
let’s see:
It’s totally office perfect, so I’d be wearing it regularly in the San Francisco’s Union Square neighborhood.
It’s roomy and comfortable, so I’d wear it on my upcoming vaction in Chicago’s Magnificant Mile.
and it’s stylish and that lovely tmoro color goes with 80% of my wardrobe, so the makes it a great option for all the other fun and exciting places I hope go. And would keep me organized and looking like a million bucks at the zillion less than fun and exciting places I need to go.
thanks,

As a new mom with lots of smaller bags, I don’t leave the house for work without a minimum of 4 bags: work, bottle cooler bag, my lunch and my purse. This would make a great work bag that I can consolidate all of my micro-bags. I would first head to the daycare, drop off the bottles, and then walk to work looking oh-so-chic. It could hold my lunch bag (I’m saving money by bringing from home and trying to eat healthier as I nurse and would like to lose some baby weight). It would look so much better than my current bag lady look, plus the long handle could easily fit on the stroller handles when I pick up/drop off the baby at daycare. Finally, it would really “pull” my outfit together nicely since there are some days that I need that extra kick to look professional!
Bunkster
This site has taught me to add color in the form of bags and shoes. I like the crimson in this one.
This would be my everyday bag. Good for my kindle, shoes, wallet, etc for work. And perfect for the weekends.

I’d take this with me on my dream trip to Greece next June. I can already see myself traipsing around ruins in a sundress and flip flops, and pulling my travel journal out of this bag whenever I have the urge to write or sketch. This fantasy is currently sustaining me at work … why isn’t it next summer yet???

This would be my go-to bag for traveling. Big enough to hold my nook, sunglasses, camera, and water bottle. Win!
Louise
What a great all-around, everyday bag! Love the lining and the quality of the leather and hardware.
I’m going out to dinner tonight at the Jekyll Island Club Hotel’s dining room, and I would carry it there!
Jessica
For me this would be an anytime during the day piece. To work or weekend outings just change what’s inside and carry a small clutch for nighttime. Beautiful bag!
Dasha
Great bag for traveling. Looks roomy enough to put all of your essentials but yet innocuous enough that you can get it past the airline check-in person in addition to your two pieces of carry-on items…
Caroline
It would likely become my staple work bag. Very lovely, and much more professional than what I’ve cobbled together!
anon-oh-no
I’d use this bag on the weekends to keep track of everything for my whole family. I’ve got my act together during the work week, but am always looking for something to help keep me pulled together and looking stylish on the weeksnds with two small kids (1 and 4). I’m pretty sure I would be able to fit everything in here from diapers, snacks, and extra baby clothes to my iPad, blackberry, and camera to a change of shoes, umbrella, and make-up, and all without losing my keys and wallet!
Sandy
This looks like a versatile bag, good for everyday but also for travel. I would use it as my personal item to carry on to the plane. I would carry my own food in it, too, when going to the movies or traveling.
shrink
Late to the post, but equally in love.
Yes, the crimson one would be my everyday bag.
I would take it travelling abroad as it looks sturdy and large but oh so fashionable and easy to “smush” for packing.
I would take it out on a date with my husband.
I would take it on a road trip in the car (see above reasons) as it would hold my eyeglasses and sunglasses and his too!
I would take it to professional conferences; all the better to put those little brochures and take-a-ways that are around.
I would take it shopping; surely the crimson will complement all the shades of burgundy that the advertisers are touting (I’m looking at you, N-M).
I would take it here and there, I would take it anywhere.
If I could buy it, one two or three, I’d rather have it to be free.
I would wear it with a fox (color), I would wear it in a box (color blocked).
I do so like this bag you see, I think that it is made for me!
I would so, could so, on a spree. I would so, could so, can’t you see?
I do so love your pick, dear Kat! I hope you pick me, and that’s that!
mamabear
Thank you, thank you, Sam I Am! :)

O.K., in my excitement reading Kat’s post, I didn’t understand/see that you want my email here and now.
I still love it, yes sir-ee.
So here’s my email.
Send it to me! :)

PS Kudos to mamabear… love that Sam-I-Am! (He comes in a latin version and I just found a cookbook with real meals, based on Seussian ones, of course.)
