It's so LITTLE! I'm not a giant-purse person, and I'm only 5'3", but hmm...

It's a beauty but I think I need to go bigger - maybe a large Veneta? And I think I'm done ordering bags online without seeing them (and holding them) in person first!

I am so sorry to hear that you are not in love... What about a large Campana?

doreenjoy · Oct 27th, 2009, 04:05 PM

I hope you can exchange it for the large.... let us know.

I am sorry that it didn't work for you! I have a medium campana and find that it is the perfect size! You have lots of other choices if you don't want the large campana. I got a parachute bag a few months ago and it is a great size--you might want to look at it!

same height here. don't like med. campana at all. I've tried large campana and started liking it though I haven' taken any action yet. So I would suggest you exchange medium to a large campana if possible. I'm sure you'll like it better !

OOoo that stinks!

doloresmia · Oct 27th, 2009, 05:53 PM

Shucks. so sorry you are not in love? i have tried both bags on and find the large just TOO large. i am 5 1. do you have an opportunity to go try one on IRL or get it sent consignment?

I'm also 5'3" and the medium campana is just the right size for me!

It's indeed the best if you could see and touch and try on and play with the bags in real life. The large campana or the large veneta maybe the one for you if the medium campana is too tiny.

Have fun choosing and let us know what you get!!

Thanks all - I'm going to go in to Saks in person to do an exchange - that way I get to hold all the beauties! (Unless I fall in love overnight)

I'm so sorry. Since I live far from anyplace that sells BV, it's sometimes hard to know what a bag will feel like. Trying on before buying is always best, but it's not possible in every case.

Good luck finding the perfect BV for you!

Sorry it didn't work for you. I found the medium campana too small as well - not just because of my height but my things just didn't fit well - long wallet, medium cosmetic case, sunglasses case, etc. The magnet always popped open. I find the medium veneta more user friendly - at least it will close with the same amount of items although I've always gone with the large. Best wishes finding a perfect fit to replace it!
