For those who have/have had Large Carlys...

just curious.. do you use or did you use a purse organizer inside or just thow your stuff inside? I have a purse to go that I LOVE because it organizes all my things and makes my Large Carly stand up and gives it more shape, but find it annoying at times when I want to leave it on my shoulder and stick my wallet in because my wallet will go outside of the organizer or something like that.. not that it's a big deal, just trying to figure out which way I prefer. How about you other Carly owners.. what is your take? TIA!

When I use my large carly, I just organized everything. I did have to fix everything if I had gone out shopping and needed stuuff out of it. Thats one thing that drives me nuts about the large carlys, its a bottomless pit.

Thanks.

Yeah I absolutely LOVE the bag and love that I can throw more things in it, but sometimes it's a pita.. I have a little makeup bag to hold all of my littler things but I do like the purse organizer to make it stand up, etc/

Anyone else

I would think that this is true for any hobo style bag, especially large, I carry three major pieces, wallet, wristlet, agenda, all stacked at the bottom, the littler things go in the zip pocket . . . it's the slouch, got to have the slouch!

Do you just put your stuff in it and have no purse organizer? I know what you mean.

LAltiero85 · Aug 12th, 2008, 12:38 AM

I just throw all of my junk in it...got my new Choco leather Carly the other day, and it holds its shape a little better than my siggie, but still a bottomless pit! I still love her though.

Do you use a purse organizer? What does it do to the shape of the bag?

RWolfeOH · Aug 12th, 2008, 12:59 AM

I use a large Purseket in my large Carly. I like that it gives it more of a shape. I can't stand being in line somewhere and digging for what I need.

Alirae87 · Aug 12th, 2008, 01:26 AM

I was just going to ask about the large carlys, I keep looking at the black leather, especially now that I heard they're coming out with the nickel hardware (I just like the nickel better than the brass for some reason). How big are they? I mean, how much will it hold? I'm forever buying "medium" bags because I think they'll be big enough, and then practically having to sit on them to zip them, lol. I really need to take the plunge and just buy a large bag, so I was hoping you guys had some thoughts...

Alirae87 · Aug 12th, 2008, 01:32 AM

Sorry, also, I've heard about fraying issues with the Carly...is that with the leather or just the signature versions?

I have a purse to go organizer, It keeps the shape well and makes her stand on her own which I like. I just can't figure out if it's just as easy to throw my stuff in her since I hate how it can kind of collapse in that bag and make it hard to fish for my wallet, since that's what I use the most.

A Large Carly will hold a TON IF you want it to... that's what's so great about the Large Carly is the sexy slouch it has so you don't need a ton in it but if you want to put more and more you can fill it to the brim.

I love being able to have all my stuff plus if I want I can throw a few kids things in, a water bottle, etc.. it's a great bag.. and without a lot in it it is not heavy to me and like I said has that great slouch.
