My beloved purple Baggallini Messenger Bag, which has traveled cross-country, up and down the East Coast, into and out of Canada, attended several WorldCons, been Bag Guest of Honor at several more conventions all over the map, and gone to the day-job every dern day for almost five years. . .is starting to show its miles. In fact, it should probably not be asked to attend this year's festivities in Reno. The trouble? Purple is not a possible color at this time. Of the colors available, I am torn between black (because it goes with everything in exactly the same way the purple bag goes with nothing) or tomato red (because it is a traveling bag and ought to be easy to keep in the eye).

Unfortunately, all I can think is that black and red are the aijii's colors, which is no help at all.

So! Help me decide.

What color should Rolanni's replacement world-traveling bag be?

Is it this one? http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000F3YMXS/ref=pd_lpo_k2_dp_sr_1?pf_rd_p=486539851&pf_rd_s=lpo-top-stripe-1&pf_rd_t=201&pf_rd_i=B0001F32AO&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=15S2S58NXK3KFFFB9RAN

I like that bag. And it holds up well? (Me, totally ignoring the color issue and instead, shopping)

There are two bags going on here, one in ripstop nylon, which I have, and which wears like iron. The other is in crinkle nylon, which Steve has, and which does well for him, but! (1) he asks less of his bag than I do of mine and (2) the metal nameplate on the crinkle nylon edition tends to unexpectedly catch on things. My Preferred Sort has a fabric nametag which doesn't present the same sort of challenges.

But, yeah -- great bag. Highly recommended.
