I am like a 1x I guess and I can barely get my floral sig stripe tote one with the one handed motion.. I usually need to use my other hand to help get it there. It fits on my shoulder pretty good, not too tight... it's comfortable. The older tote from 2006 didn't really fit on my shoulder.

Ditto what Tara said. If you are talking about the ones that zip across the top those fit me about the same way, and I can swing it with one hand too. Hope that helps.

do you mean the sig stripe tote where the stripe is on the top of the bag? (like in my avatar?) i have this and im about a 1x (and 5'5") and it fits pretty well, and is easy with one hand to put on. i think it still has enough room for 2 or 3x ladies too! I LOVE this purse, and its also a great size for a plus size frame!

I have a friend that has the medium one and she never carries it on her shoulder. It will fit on my shoulder and I am size xl-1x.

it should go on your shoulder just fine. the straps are longer than the old sig stripe tote without the zipper. i definitely have big arms and it's comfortable on me. i can't really get it on in one swoop motion like you're talking about but it's also not difficult to get on either (when your arm's extended for a sec you should be able to get it up rather quickly) hope this helps!
