Default Seamless Zip Tote*Pics Pics* To keep or Not to Keep??
Ok, I just got this and I'm on the fence about keeping it or not~ Pls let me know since I keep on changing my mind~

Pro: Love the size, the weave, the multiple ways of changing its style, and would really like to use it as a diaper bag as well..
Con: Its suede interior really worries me about getting it dirty..I'm really picky about my bags being not in mint condition..And the only way to shoulder carry it is with its full size and it does look like a bum bag in that way b/c it's HUGE on me..

Okies, I will post lots of pics and you lovely ladies can help me decide...

This is another way I discovered that's cinched by strapping onto the thumbnail itself instead of the ring for the strap and pulls the bottom in which looks like LV's damier Azur Saleya style....

I vote return it and get something else. I would never use a BV as a diaper bag because they are too delicate. The colour is really light and will get dirty easily, and personally I'm not a fan of the style for everyday use, maybe as a travel bag?

It is beautiful but for the purpose you want (a diaper bag), it's all wrong--the color, the lining. I vote to return it and save for fall styles. Then just buy a cheaper bag to use as a diaper bag. You'll be getting rid of the diaper bag eventually so IMHO, not really advisable to invest so much in an expensive one.

I voted for "return it", because it's easy to get dirty. But I really like this bag. If I see it on sale, I may buy it.

Hrmm, I found myself loving light colored BV bags.

I actually LOVE this bag... but for myself - I understand your reasons for having second thoughts on it... I love big bags so if you're ever willing to sell it... let me know

I love this style, I love this color, and I love these particular color shades mixed together.

that said, I vote return. it is completely inevitable that this bag will get quite dirty and you yourself admit you only love bags in mint condition. it would never survive as a diaper bag.
