Product Review: J.Crew Handbag

Jacquie was kind enough to share with all of us her review of J.Crew's latest handbag. I actually have seen this bag in-person at their stores and absolutely adore it, (it had a cute scarf hanging off of it- I just thought it looked great!) Unfortunately, it is not available on their website as of yet (and I could not find it in the latest catalog). The following is Jacquie's (fantastic) review:

Quilted tumbled-leather Quincy hobo

Item 95897
Regular: $228.00
Colors: Golden Yellow, Graphite, Emerald Green

Pros: Made of quilted leather (the grey is a bit softer, but I'm sure the yellow will soften up), hobo style, brass hardware, lined with cotton, 1 inside pocket and adjustable handle (can be worn on shoulder or carried). But I love the closure, it's a round clasp, so it insures the bag will be securely closed (no zipper though). These bags are great for all seasons and types of dress (casual, work, etc). The yellow could add that punch of color in a sea of browns and blacks during the winter, the grey would go great with a fabulous 120 suit. The size is a great medium, so it will hold all of your purse junk :) I've carried the yellp bag 2 times and have gotten many compliments on it.

Cons: the handle makes noise. It comes from the leather rubbing against the brass hardware. The noise stop with continued usage (I hope!)

What are your thoughts about this new handbag from J.Crew? (Do you happen to know its name or item number?) Have you seen it in-person or own it? Also, a big "thank you!" to Jacquie again who shared with us her fabulous review and provided us with her own image as well! {You rock!}
