And the winner is…

Jaipur After much thought I decided that a striped bag was simple enough travel well, but that the bold colors added the right amount of pizzazz. I also liked how the lines weren’t sharp but bled a little bit, almost like a watercolor painting. Alas, when I back to Endless.com to buy it, it was no longer available!  A few minutes of chaos ensued, until I realized I had a friend online who probably wouldn’t mind discussing prints with me at length.

1 (Cordoba) – I adore this print… but for a blouse, but not a bag. It feels too rich and busy to travel well.
2 (Voyage) – At the opposite end of the spectrum from Cordoba, the nautical feeling stripes would travel very well, but it didn’t feel snappy enough. (I also considered the Bicycle print bag for the same reason, but not for long.)
3 (Paprika) – I liked antique-y floral of the bag, especially compared to a more bubble-gum floral I looked at for a few minutes (Bouquet).  It could probably travel as well as the stripes but it wasn’t speaking to me. Nothing was.

Full Bloom But then I heard the call. It was faint at first. I thought – isn’t this just another floral? Then I thought: this print is too complicated. But when I took another look at what else I had been considering I realized it was perfect. The pattern is complicated but in an organic way that makes it easier on the eyes. It’s colorful enough to stand out, but more detail is apparent if you take a closer look. This bag was calling out to me to take it home.

    Hey there. I stumbled upon your website as I was doing some web searches for a bag. What is the name of the print on the large Lesportsac bag that you show as the one you decided to purchase? I love it. Oh, and love your website by the way! Whitney

      Hi there! Unfortunately I don’t remember the name of the print. Looking at the blog posts now I just realized I mentioned the name of every single one except that one! LeSportSac constantly produces new prints, so I’m sure you’ll be able to find something you like just as much, if not more!
