Bag Snob note: I scheduled this yesterday afternoon but last night when Kelly saw it online she got so excited she posted it. I decided to post my version anyway since I actually saw the samples and have a few more details for you 🙂 So please excuse the double post on the bag, we just love it!!!
We have gotten so many emails about this bag and I am so glad it is finally here! Olivia Harris Round Sac is sure to be the biggest hit for Fall in the under $500 bag market. Utterly urban and slouchy cool, it’s Givenchy for Frugal Snobs! Many of you asked about the colors, the one I spoke of is a dark distressed black/gray they call Black Coffee (photo on left). Wood is a medium shade of brown (photo on right) that is also distressed and is actually a more neutral shade to go with everything. I love that Joy Gryson (designer of Olivia Harris) put the versatile pockets with a side zip option so you can leave it down for a totally different look. I actually played with samples of this bag in the showroom (tried to steal it but Peter Gryson, Joy’s hubby and partner, is like 6’2″ so I couldn’t sneak it past him) and it is incredibly lightweight and sturdy. The leather is from Italy and very soft with so many little details you can’t see in photos like the small studs placed strategically around the bag. So exciting, my only dilemma is the color to get. Heck at this price I’ll take both (plus the distressed white I ordered for Resort 2010– oops, that won’t be ready until December, I should not tease you like this!
Love love this bag! The darker for me please
I love this bag too. Wouldn’t mind either of them!
very cute and what a great price!
is the coffee really a black/grey? it looks dark brownish in the picture. i’m still on the lookout for a black bag…
Already got my black coffee bag ordered! Should be coming in 2 weeks! Can’t wait!
Reminds me of a juicy bag (one of their leather) so surprised you liked it
That is one expensive handbag, i love the look of your website i will add a link to your site on my next handbag website as a small thank you.
Cheers
Just went to saks.com to order one and it’s already sold out!
The moment I have been waiting for has arrived & Saks is sold out???? I gotta see one even if it means making a special trip into New York City! I have to mention the two bags look like different styles. Are they? Or is one tucked in on the sides? I want to touch it, try it on and if it talks to me, I’m taking that baby home 🙂
Love both but wondering of the size..
Same style, one is the zipper pocket zipped up, the other is it hanging down 🙂
Call Gryson, they just got a huge order in!!! 212-925-2511
Just checked saks.com again this morning and now they have them in! They have the measurements on their website.
How can I get this over to the UK? I thought the Saks site would allow me to buy it as they have prices in pounds, but when I go to checkout I get the message “This product was not found in our international database. Please remove this item from your shopping cart and try again.”
Help! I have been waiting for this bag forever, and can’t work out how to get it to me. Any ideas?!
Try http://www.stefanibags.com. I ordered one from here and it shows International options.
I am not a fan of hobos and usually gravitate towards more structured bags. But this would look flattering on many people and especially in these rich colors that are being presented.
Love the tassel, love the fact that you can have 2 different looks with the bag and the fold over flap gives that feeling of cool, without trying too hard.
Girls, if you can squeeze it in the budget, DO IT!
Thanks Sam. Just tried that but it’s saying Continental US only….I will mail them and see what they can do!
Just so you know, I have been in contact with Monica over at stefanibags.com and she is amazing. So helpful…great service.
