From the moment I saw that two-toned bag in all it's leathery glory on the glossy pages of Glamour, I was in love. While every New Yorker and blogger was clamoring for the Phillip Lim's Pashli satchel, I knew the 31 hour bag, in all it's simplistic, chic, glory was my ideal match.

I bought it as my official work bag when I started my new job; professional, roomy, simple, chic. I needed a bag big enough to fit a pair of heels, my iPad, iPhone, wallet, keys, makeup bag, charger, and lunch. It was a tall order my Marc by Marc Jacobs Huge Hillier Hobo just wasn't able to fill.

When I took it out of the dust bag I immediately ran my hands over the soft, buttery brown and black leather. The sleek metal pulls are really well designed and function well, however they do build a patina of their own over time. The leather is soft but durable; it's been caught in the rain and over-filled too many times to count. The great thing is that even when it's overflowing with stuff, it still looks chic.
