It's really important to get that right mixture of features you need to get the most use and best experience from your bag...especially one you want to use more often. I did have to dig a little in the Day but still a great bag. I prefer less digging though. The City is THE Bal style for me. I love City so much, but for everyday use for me, my other brands serve me better. Perhaps, you may want to consider searching other designers as well for a style and size that works better for you.

I am going for the Cassis but I love the color of this bag. Good that you have others like this.

Cassis looks really lovely and very versatile. I actually sold ALL my Sanguine bags and have just the Sanguine GSH EC left. I miss them but I had too many red bags. I have Pourpre City left, which is super wearable too. Rere describes Cassis as a Sanguine/Pourpre-like hybrid....sounds divine! You will get lots of use out of that color. Pls post a mod shots when you get yours.

Hi all, thank you for all your comments..
I'm obviously not digging the Day style at all and I have decided to keep my Velo for now and see what can I do with the long strap~ probably switch strap with my City~ though they are not the same color but who cares!!

Good thinking! I have also thought of switching straps on my bags.

I just went out with my Velo paired with city strap
it works great~ I can reach into the bag easily
