The internet pulled through for me – you guys helped me find my perfect bag. It was suggested in the comments that I head here and here to see the results of someone else’s similar search, and sure enough, that lead me to this bag. The promise of all those pockets plus orange interior plus a zip-compartment (flaps bother me) was enough to add it to my search list.
On Monday, an ass-bitingly cold MLK, Jr. Day, I took my list and my walking shoes and I hit six stores, ending up at the Container Store. I had a sneaky feeling this was the perfect bag so I made sure to inspect all the awesome runners-up first. And I was right – it was my perfect bag. So without further ado and with much, much gratitude, here are my photos. Thanks, internet. You rock.
Like you, I do TONS of research before making even the tiniest purchase. And, I’m SO glad that you posted pics! I’m not a messenger bag person, (I like totes…MBs hit me on the hips in a funny way), but your story and pics makes me want to find my way to the nearest Container Store! (love the pizazz of the flower pin!)
Jillian, the same company, sold at Container Store, does an awesome awesome TOTE, too!
Uh-oh. I went back to your link and clicked “back” to see the totes. There goes my discretionary income! Thanks for the tip
Jeez, I feel so old. I just found the perfect DIAPER bag and I’m about as pathetically in love with it as you are with yours.
Sigh.
I love the bag. I think I want one. I currently use a LL Bean Tote for my teaching needs, but your bag is so nice and organized.
Ah! I have been searching for that EXACT bag without even knowing it. I love it and need one pronto! Too bad Canada doesn’t have any Container Stores. *sniff, sniff*
The next best thing to getting the right bag is seeing someone else get the right bag. Yaay!
