New Knitting Bag - Just Plummy

Remember my extensive search for an everyday tote that could also hold my knitting?  Check here, here and and here to catch up on the quest. 

Well...I had a birthday a while back and I finally used a gift card to get this B. Makowski beauty!

I've been wanting a plum tote for quite a while now, and this leather one fits the bill.  The leather is so soft and buttery....but of course it's not waterproof.  I tried like the dickens to find a patent one in plum that was at least the size and shape I wanted.  But all my options came in weird shades of purple that looked cheap.  Since my other tote is patent I didn't want to be the "shiny tote girl."  (Who'm I kidding, ain't nobody gonna call me a girl....don't get me started on the times I've been called ma'm this week....)

Next up, I search for a dark blue tote that fits my needs....any suggestions?
