Hughes satchel in burgundy

I got the Hughes satchel in burgundy color for Christmas, the color is stunning!

Well, I hadn't  seen this bag in catalogs and online, and I was under the impression it was a little bigger- even knowning it has a similar measurements of the Brompton mini hobo.

I've been looking for a nice burgundy color handbag for a while, and this color is exactly what I was looking for, true to the website picture.

I have to confess that I got a bit disappointed at first look out of the box, it was really smaller than I expected!

But It has adjustable shoulder strap, which is a plus and " most of the time" necessary for me. Now,  It doesn't look to small in the picture :-).

Here as a shoulder bag, and just holding from the handles.

It doesn't look too small,  actually it's growing on me ;-).

Here wearing as  a crossbody bag ( it might be a little high for the tallers, the strap is for the shoulder, so it's not long) hanging whith straps from each side of the bag.

The leather is kind of hard/firm, I believe it's to keep the shape of an Origami- japonese folding paper art - making the bag looks big on the sides.

Here with the straps hanging from only one side of the bag, still holding the shape as it was full of papers.

Both ways look good, it depends of the taste of each if you...I think I'm in love with this bag again ;-).

Bellow is the Hughes Satchel and the Brompton mini hobo for comparison:

They have almost the same size, Brompton mini is higher and the soft leather makes it looks bigger than the Hughes satchel when wearing it.

Well,  I was about to return it, I just hold it to take pictures for this post, but I'm not sure anymore :-(

**keeper of not?!**

I'm glad I have some time to think, and it's not final sale :-) 

what do you think about the Hughes satchel? Have you seen it in stores or own one?!
