You're right, it's so unique looking I get compliments all the time. The design of the older style is so much more functional. I am really wanting another one now, lol. (Look for the review of the old saddle up coming soon)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16297483032166618973noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8958946815244937872.post-25580083635049133832012-11-25T08:59:58.907-06:002012-11-25T08:59:58.907-06:00I may be the odd one out but I loved the pleats on...I may be the odd one out but I loved the pleats on the older version. With the right fabrics, it made for a unique look that none of the other bags have. I really look at the way a pattern plays up against the style of a bag when I decide which ones to purchase. <br />I am thrilled to see that awful heavy metal ring removed. When you flip up the flap, that metal ring bangs onto whatever hard surface your bag is sitting on. Used to drive me crazy in stores with glass counters. <br />I am happy that the bag is a little smaller- I prefer a smaller bag for just the essentials. So there are some good benefits to the bag for me but taking away the pleats has really made the it look rather plain to me. Don't think it's one I will be buying in the future. <br />Thanks for your take on it :)Greatful Daneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04970411322568573897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8958946815244937872.post-21969080948355877442012-10-17T09:30:10.449-05:002012-10-17T09:30:10.449-05:00I'm glad you're enjoying it.

I didn't like how the pleats and smaller flap made the bag seemed to puff out. I remember trying it and it looked like a bowling ball on my hip. When the new design come out I was a bit leery but I thought it looked so much better that I'd try it out again. I love this bag! I carry the same things in whatever bag I'm using and I have no problem fitting everything. There's plenty of pockets to keep me organized and the best part is that it doesn't look like a bowling ball on my hip when worn crossbody (which is how I mostly carry it). <br /><br />I haven't had any problems with it staying closed because it's not overstuffed. I wouldn't mind seeing 2 more magnets added to the flap though. Why not put one on the each side and the middle? I think it would add security and also keep the flap down if you fill up the bag.<br /><br />TracyluvsVerahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17381311912444887903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8958946815244937872.post-75260563389054018562012-10-16T16:40:33.344-05:002012-10-16T16:40:33.344-05:00No problem!!

There is so much room in the main compartment, and was surprised that I could fit the same amount of items in it as a tall tote. The new style Saddle Up may be too small for me, as I've been gravitating towards larger purses. Wouldn't have known it without your review :>.Mollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12566176585976722678noreply@blogger.com
