J Crew Rhapsody Hobo in Nutmeg $325
Okay, I am essentially obessed with this bag. I was walking home from my local coffee shop the other day when I saw not one, but two girls both wearing white tops, jeans and carrying bags this color. Could it be the missing neutral in my bag collection? I realize it is a quite a pretty penny and a bit higher end than some of our other items in the Lust or Must Hall of Fame, but it also falls into almost all of our investment piece categories; high quality, highly versatile and classic in both color and material.

Will I have the discipline and patience to save my hard-earned loonies (that's dollars for you peeps South of the border) for this burnt sienna beauty? It is too early to tell.
What would you do?
Love, P

I'm leaning towards lust since you may be able to find a similar bag in the same tone...however, it is a really nice bag and great quality...

I say must. Rachel is right, you may be able to find one less expensive but it isn't so far out of line in price that it can't be justified. I have a classic example of a Coach backpack I bought over 20 years ago - my first Coach bag - and I am still using it on those special days when nothing but a leather backpack will do!
I say go for it. Great look, great quality, even if it is priced just a wee bit on the high side.
Let us know!
Must ... but on sale , not at that price
A must! Your purse is with you everyday! Just be thankful this one that you are in love with is ONLY $325! I didn't get a new bag last year because everything I loved was over $1000. This one is classic and will last forever. I have boots in this color and LOVE them! Dressed up but casual, too.
This bag is on sale now for $250! I just saw it when I looking on the site. :) Hope that helps you with your decision!

Thanks for the update, Anony! But, I have to tell the truth, I don't know if it helps... or makes it harder...? Love, P
