I can't believe we are in the middle of August. This is the time of year where things start to speed up fast. Before you know it, it'll be Labor Day and then Halloween! I am looking forward to fall. It's my favorite time of the year. With the cooler temperatures, I will gravitate to my darker browns and red bags.
This post will compare the baby Handleless Jane versus the regular Handleless Jane. I initially wanted The Row 90's bag, but decided it was too small and the straps were not removable which is a deal breaker for me. Then I saw Go Forth Goods had a similar style to the 90's bag, and is also bigger. I decided to give it a try.
Watch my video to see what fits!

If you're new to Go Forth Goods, they do have a Jane with handles. It comes with a crossbody strap as well. Some customers didn't like the handles and asked if it was possible to order one without the handles. Go Forth Goods obliged. It's one of the main reasons why I love this brand. They really take their customer's feedback into consideration.
(with handles!)
This bag has removable straps and depending on your mood, you can carry it as a top handle, shoulder bag, or a crossbody bag.
When I want to carry it as a crossbody bag, I like to pair it with my Fount Guitar Strap in Hazelnut.

The Handleless Jane is basically a barrel bag or duffle bag. I think it's really cute and for me, size small is perfect. I don't carry a whole lot and the size small fits all my essentials. I've had this bag for five months and I liked it so much that I purchased a second color in Saddle. Chestnut is a stiffer leather, whereas Saddle is softer.
Here are some mod shots of the Original Handleless Jane in Wine. Even though it's just one inch bigger all around, it's a much bigger bag. This definitely looks more like a duffle on me. In this size, I only wore it as a crossbody.
Let's take a closer look at the design.
(I asked for striations and they delivered.)
(Zip top closure.)
It's a very simple barrel bag design with a zip top closure and D rings on each side. The interior is one large compartment. There's no lining and the inside is suede.
(The hide is shinier and stiffer but it is beautiful.)
(Look at that color variation!)
After testing out both sizes, I only reached for the small size and didn't go for the original much at all and I ended up selling the Wine. It was just too big for my frame. The small size really is perfect for some quick errands or even date night. It's a very simple design but the beauty is in the hides. My Go Forth Goods collection is definitely growing! Can't wait to see what else they release. That's it for me and I hope you all have a fantastic Monday!
