Default Is it too big on me?
Please share your opinions.

This is the Maxi Ash scrucio veneta bag that I pre-ordered from Saks and received it in mid-December [three months earlier than I was told] while I was away. I planned to return it before I saw it in person. Now I fall in love w/ this color. I pretty much want to keep it but I still like to know if it looks ridiculously big on me ?? thanks. I stuffed it w/ usual stuff.

I have a black medium veneta, too. However, different sizes give you different 'feel'.
By the way, I have BV sunglasses on me.

surprisingly, i think you carry it off well despite how slender you are! on me the maxi looks like i should be in the fields bailing hay... of course, on me the large looks too big. weird how that works. as i said, i think this looks great.... and will look ever more gorgeous when it slouches and has more stuff in it

Hmmm, I don't think so but I like big bags and am used to seeing small people with big bags and it looks great. It's mostly if you love it and are comfortable with it and most of all will you use it?!?!

It's definitely a larger bag, but like everyone else said, you wear it very well.

It makes me want one too.

Congrats, very chic!

It works on you! I tried the Maxi Pleated, but it was huge, I'm 5'4", this one without the pleats looks much better on your small frame. That color is divine!
Enjoy and thanks for sharing!
Cheers

you look gorgeous with this bag - it makes a contrast, shows your great figure! I think it would not be so nice on someone your height but not so thin. On you, it looks really stylish. But only keep it if you feel comfortable wearing it!
