do it! I have their touring tote and i love it.... if they had the boxy backpack i wanted at their outlet sale i would get it too, unfortunately they didn't have any glazed patterns right now =(!!
If you can afford it and it's something you want, then I say buy it. However, if you cannot afford it or haven't budgeted for the bag, then you should pass up this opportunity.
Re: Talk me out of this purchase...
Do it!
I have one (got it on ebay for $100 too). Only reason I bought it.
I love that it's a backpack and I'm hands free.
I also like that it has a fold out part and i can zip to sides up and down for it with one hand! Very important feature!
I also spilled an entire bottle in it once and it wiped right up and didn't smell later!
Yes! I love those bags.
