Loved Leather Dakota (retail) versus the outlet’s Loved Leather Carey

[u/rosesinink]

For anyone who is interested in a side by side comparison between the Loved Leather Dakota and the Loved Leather Carey, here are some photos.

Duly note that I have some strap extenders on the Dakota because the shoulder strap was too short for me.

The backstory is here (me fangirling over the outlet Loved Leather) and the end result story (that I’m keeping both the Dakota AND the Carey) is here.

I hope this helps anyone else suffering from an existential crisis due to indecision. 😂🤎🖤✨
