[RBW] Re: The Siren Call of Sapphire Shopsacks

The Sapphire Sacks will not be going on my Blue Rosco. I'm waiting on a new Atlantis from Waterford. It's taking forever because they didn't have the chainstays, I'm told. Maybe by June 1st it will arrive. It'll end up being a 6 month wait, but I've got plenty of bikes. I wanted a

Carla and Bill, I think the SapphireSacks look much different in real life than they do on the Riv website. I am going to either sell or trade my tan medium Saddlesack because I've never liked the color. I LOVE the gray Saddlesacks, but now I'm rethinking the blue. I didn't like the looks of

[RBW] Re: The Siren Call of Sapphire Shopsacks

OK, I must admit that I too was seduced by Sappho. I guess you can have too many bags. I'm not there yet ;-)). I have a gray med. shopsack that occupies a med. Wald. Time to alternate as the same bag in blue is about to land. Of course there's always the possibility that my wife will snag it

I got my Blue Shopsack just now, smelling strongly of Pine Tar soap, which I ordered at the same time. Now I'm set for my Sapphire accessory kit for my next "cool" colorway bike build. As predicted, they are already down to three remaining blue ShopSacks. So don't wait too long, if you are

Regarding using shopsacks as handbags, I have never used a handbag but had my shopsack at the grocery store with two other bags. I put all three on the belt at checkout and the checker filled the other two and then stopped. I told her to go ahead and fill the shopsack and she said, "Oh, I

[RBW] Re: The Siren Call of Sapphire Shopsacks

I love the shopsacks. I don't use them as handbags but I definitely use them off the bike as often as I do on. I prefer the medium size for use on the bike. For me, that is mostly grocery shopping / farmer's market, the gym, etc. The medium fits perfectly in the medium Wald basket and the Wald

Leah, great minds think alike! Yesterday I sat down and did a major shopping spree at Riv online. I started out wanting to get a blue extra small bag but they were already sold out. SoI ordered the gray one. I also got the tan grab bag which I plan to use for my purse. So, we shall see

[RBW] Re: The Siren Call of Sapphire Shopsacks

Hi Leah, I agree RE: saddlesacks. Gray, olive, tan... looks right to me. The SafireSack looks great. I have olive medium and tan large. I think I can make room for a blue one (with the added bonus of zippered pouch inside-- which for me is a nice addition to the otherwise wonderful bag).
