Here are some more pics of my "oversized" EM. It is filled with my stuff now, so you can see how much "slouchier" it is. :)

Filled up


Inside w/ all my stuff


What was inside (yes, I carry a lot of stuff, but I also have two toddlers, so I have to always have to be prepared!)


With the extra messenger strap


Comparison pics with my full size pebbled wine WTM

OMG, that's GORGEOUS! I love the color and the lining combo. And the bag without the front stitching is just my style. Like it much better this way. Congrats on a perfect bag!

wow you are sooooo disciplined keeping everything within its own little bag

I thought she would actually look bigger though - sort of like a teeny bit smaller than mulberry maxi mabel iykwim

just nipping into the dangerous BE site to look at measurements

Love your choice of colour and leather which really make your EM look classy. Any chance of modelling pics? (I agree that the bag looks much smaller than I imagined.)

Really nice! I was never a huge fan of this bag, but I like it a lot more without the stitching.

It's beautiful! The lining suits the color. I like the top stitching and I appreciate your comparison photos with the Galliera.

That looks really lovely! I have never been tempted by the EM but your pics are swaying me. I do prefer it without the hand threaded stitching and your choice of leather is divine!

What a fabulous combination of color, lining, and hardware! Thank you for all the photos. I think based on what I've seen I prefer the EM without the side stitching. Very nice!

This is a modeling pic. I apologize in advance for the flash. The other pics came out as though I were six months pregnant. haha. Anyway, you can see that its not "oversized" at all.

Am I wrong? lol. I keep looking at it. I don't mind the size... but I swear, I thought it would be bigger.....

OMG, thank you soooooooo much for posting so many photos for our viewing pleasure and for size/color reference.
It looks like the perfect blue bag for everyday use. I adore the pebbled leather and long tassels.
Kongratz!

I think this bag is gorgeous! I have to admit I have never been too excited about the EM but your choice of the petrol pebbled and eliminating the side stitching make this such a beautiful and elegant bag. It looks like a wonderful size--large enough to get you through the day but not to overwhelm your frame. Lovely on you!
