I'm also a little concerned about stuff flying out of it since there aren't any zippers . . .

I'm hoping to use it as an everyday purse/diaper bag for my three children and the reviews noting the pockets and size IRL really helped make my decision to order it.

My PS overnighted it to me (for free) and I got it today. It is a nice bag. Let me say that I purchased 2 Mulberry Bayswater bags recently (one in Darwin leather, another one in flat calfskin - they ate $900 each). Having said this, while JCrew's leather is not as refined as Mulberry's and the design is not as nice, I think for under $300 it is a VERY nice bag. The leather is thick, I like to oiled rugged look; it does look like this leather will improve with scratches and use. It is not stiff. The bad has many different pockets, which is unusual for a Jcrew bag, and very nice. It is also lined. Overall, it is a GREAT everyday bag.Gatahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04012345602398794010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-34786611391493271592009-07-03T21:03:54.932-04:002009-07-03T21:03:54.932-04:00I cannot wait to check this bag out.

The size is perfect for lugging tons of stuff but not looking like you're carrying a huge bag. <br /><br />However, with the leather being as thick as it is, the bag is a little heavy for me. Granted, I have a small frame, but I think even a taller frame may find it a bit hefty.3-Penny Princesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00579349047540517734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-1745206928747337702009-07-03T06:21:16.689-04:002009-07-03T06:21:16.689-04:00Like many, I was DREAMING about this bag and I bou...Like many, I was DREAMING about this bag and I bought it in the Sienna color. It is gorgeous, the leather is beautiful and the interior pockets are really nice. Sadly, it's not for me. It is HUGE on my 5'3" frame and fairly structured/stiff i.e. NOT slouchy. The size to me is in between purse and tote and I dont know when I would actually use it vs. stare at it on my table :) But so glad others are enjoying it. Maybe they will do it in a smaller version!Ruffleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14971282281990133880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-75279506608685381222009-07-02T23:13:29.118-04:002009-07-02T23:13:29.118-04:00audball--you're JCA famous now! :)

Even though I'm fairly tall, I would never be able to carry this bag around with a straight face. I would feel like I should be traveling somewhere, it is big enough to be an overnighter. <br /><br />Could it be that J.Crew will offer more in the same line into fall? I like the leather, lining and pockets. Would love to see other versions with similar features and design, only smaller. I can leave the kitchen sink at home - thank you very much.CaptainCrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15422705416801320165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-45164778401118770832009-07-02T11:36:53.938-04:002009-07-02T11:36:53.938-04:00HeidiG, I own a fair number of bags and this was b...HeidiG, I own a fair number of bags and this was by far, one of the lighter ones...I think it was the lack of hardware on the bag. It certainly was lighter than the Anya from a couple of years ago (the BG one which was the collection item), which I had a chance to carry in store.<br /><br />This is a great bag for pockets...plenty of them with ample room.

The bag is shallow enough where everything would be within easy reach, but stylish enough for work. My concern is that it would be kind of hard to wear as a shoulder bag when loaded up - it may be cumbersome in a crowd.<br /><br />And hillary and summer, the bag is a very simple design, I agree. Reminded me of the Hermes Picotin in some ways, which I believe really was based on a feed bag!<br /><br />Wow, I made JCA...I feel kind of honored LOL!

Thank you so much! jessie b's review made me run to the Fifth Avenue store to take a look IRL and now I'm determined to buy it.<br /><br />I'm a book editor, so I always carry around manuscripts, proposals, and half a dozen magazines on any given day and need a bag that can handle all of that. I used to carry a smaller purse for my wallet, keys, cellphone, etc. and a tote bag for all my works stuff, but have found that to be too cumbersome. I feel like I have a hard time finding a stylish bag that's big enough so I can carry only one and this one fits all my needs.Bluenanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16215081473384857025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-82309233160282280422009-07-02T10:06:20.927-04:002009-07-02T10:06:20.927-04:00These are excellent reviews.

The slouchy shape of the Campo might not work for me, as I do prefer a bit more "structure" to a bag. I recently picked up the Leather Gallery Satchel in black, and I am completely in love. I know I'll enjoy that bag for years and years.JKWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09153245466856207924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-74979663732169861112009-07-02T09:54:53.593-04:002009-07-02T09:54:53.593-04:00I would really like to see in person, but I love a...I would really like to see in person, but I love all the compartments.
