Here are some pics I found on the computer, including the scans of the Istanbul trip (quality is kinda bad, sorry). The other pics (carried as a speedy) are on my iphone and I don't have the cable to transfer them with me, but will do so in the evening:

For reference: That's how the bag looks without strap and thumbsrews:

Crossbody - it looks huge, but it's just the perspective

Thank you Jula for the pics. But I believe it comes in 2 sizes and I have only seen the big size.I love this bag.

Wow! Thank you for the action pics! I could not get a handle on how the bag would look carried...sounds like it is a must try before decision...then the action pics...it looks amazing on you and I was thinking of the possibilities of this bag as a work/travel tote...hmmm... : )

Juda: Nope, just one size (talked with my SA about it). I think sometimes the pics make it look smaller though. BV called the bag, as they released it "New Seamless Zip Tote", but now "Top Handle With Shoulder Strap"; so perhaps there is some confusion, because of the different names that are/were used.

Jula,

I was never a big fan of this bag until I saw your action shots. It really does look a lot different being carried around than it does on a store shelf. Thanks for taking the time to show us all what a good looking bag that is!

Jula, LOVE your pics!

jula · Jun 9th, 2009, 02:05 PM

Okay, last batch of pics. They are clearer (taken in Zara's changing room some time ago, since we don't have a decent full-length mirror at home), but the background is way more boring... (nothing tops Istanbul

)
Btw the handles have gotten longer since I am constantly overloading it and due to the fact that the leather is rather soft (Nappa).
ETA: Content of my bag as far as I remember: at least 3 books, wallet, cardigan, cream, pressed powder, turtle w/keys (all standard stuff that the bag easily holds)

Speedy-style

Crossbody

Tote

End of the photo extravagance. I really can recommend the bag to everyone. If mine would get lost or stolen, I would buy it again in a heartbeat.

It is beautiful, thank you Jula for the gorgeous pics.
I always liked this bag but I felt it is rather big therefore I never tried it.
And thank you SCL for starting this thread.
Now this bag is definetely on my radar.
