Outfit: Alexander Wang Darcy Hobo (!!!!)

SHE’S HERE!!! I told you the Darcy would be my new Fall bag :)

My bag arrived yesterday literally as I was walking out the door, so I ripped open the package as fast as I could and hurridly shifted everything from my straw tote to Darcy and ran out the door. First thing I noticed was how light she is, compared to Rocco/Coco, and to my Linea Pelle bag. Even with all my stuff inside, she is incredibly easy to carry on my shoulder – she just fits so well, like she belongs there ;)

The Darcy is smaller than other hobos I have, and you really can’t get into her while carrying her on your shoulder, like I can with the Donna hobo, but she’s really easy to get into otherwise, and again, really really easy to carry on my shoulder. The leather is pebbled like my Rocco, but softer because of the style of the bag, it is much less structured, but still sits nicely on a table or on the floor because of the feet.

She has one inside pocket that’s pretty deep, so it holds a lot (my phone, camera and keys usually) and the bag itself holds a ton – more than you’d think. But still, what I love the most about the Darcy is how easy she is to carry and the “luggage” color/leather. Alexander Wang hit it out of the park again – love the simplicity of his bags, and the attention to detail, but also the little additions (rows and rows of studs) that make them all unique.

You can find the Darcy at Satine where you can use code “grechens10″ for 10%, and at Shopbop. I know…I promised a longer list of where to buy, and you will have it, but I seem to be always running out the door lately, so I’ll have to finish that up later :)

I love how you speak of “her” as though your Darcy is a person!! lol…I guess that means you’ll take really good care of her.
