My Name's Written All Over It

I am still on the hunt for a black purse that I can fit over my shoulder. Today I was browsing through the shoulder bags on Neiman Marcus' website and caught a glimpse of a Kooba bag that looked cute. So imagine my surprise when I opened it up and saw that its called the "Kara" bag. For Reals! This bag just went up up up on my wishlist.

I like the size. I love the shiny leather. The one thing holding me back (besides the $595 price tag) is that it has a flap closure. I'd really prefer a zipper - for some reason I am always paranoid of getting pick-pocketed if someone could reach their hand in from behind me. The flap does look pretty wide, though. This bag might warrant an in-person visit.
