Pittsburghers: Check Footloose in Shadyside, there's also another shop, can't remember the name, but it's on Walnut St. in Shadyside , closer to South Aiken on the Ann Taylor side, that carries a lot of KS...just look in their window. In case you were planning on making the trip, Little's Shoes in Squirrel Hill does not carry them. Darn it I walked four blocks in the pouring rain to find that out
IUP: I would recommend the Sydney (which I think my boy is getting me for my 25th this February), or the Sam. Both are versatile styles that hold a lot of stuff. Whichever one you get, though, I guarantee you'll love it. Mine has held up beautifully for almost three years, and I've done some pretty awful things to it. I was so pleased with the quality of the Sam that I bought a basket and the keyring business card holder, and Hannukah Harry just bought me the messenger bag. Black is always a good color, but there's a nice cranberry red you might like, too.
Lil_G: I wanted one because a friend of mine kept raving about them. I was impressed by the quality of hers, so I bought one of my own. Great purchase, worth every cent I paid for it.
