Most of my bags tend to be on the larger side because I am always lugging around stuff for my babies. What is your opinion?
Yea Im shrimpy - 5'/ 105ish lbs and this bag is definitely my smallest. I wanted something to carry as a satchel and I cant carry a bag like Lily in my hand or on my arm for very long. I would think most people here will get this bag in the large size, but this small/medium is surprisingly roomy inside. I could even fit in an action figure or two, but probably not the entire Nintendo DS unit/game case that I sometimes have to carry!! I think both would look nice on you as its such a gorgeous bag, just depends on your needs for the bag. This is my ME bag!

I love your bag! It looks gorgeous on you! Congrats! Brown is my favorite color for bags. I saw this bag today at Macy's Herald Square. They have it as a pilot bag in black and espresso leather in the large and small sizes as well as the siggy black and siggy espresso. I alsmost purchased the large sized one today. I think I need this bag.

thanks for the pictures,
Liz

Wow!! This bag is beautiful! And it looks good on you -- perfect size. I think I like the espresso color more than the cranberry we've seen.

Raised plastic??? Do you think the gold paint will fleck off??? I would hate to have the happen since it's on the front of the bag. I thought it would be brass for some reason....wow!

Otherwise, I like this, but I'm still not certain of the size. I believe I like the overall look of your small satchel much better than the large for some reason..although I'm not really a small bag person. It just seems better proportioned to me with the detail on the bag, and also I THINK another the reason is I don't like the way large slouches so much (I don't like satchels to cave in). It seems from your pics that your stuff keeps it a bit more structured. Would you say that's the case, or is it just the way it's sitting in your pics?? Also, I'm sorry if I missed this in the thread, but didn't see it...are the measurements accurate, or do you find the bag is a tad larger?? Oh, and it looks like your strap hangs down more than the large..is there a way to adjust that droop?? This is one thing I didn't notice so much with the large, so I wonder if they have the same length strap and it just hangs lower on the small??

The leather looks very nice!! I don't like a thin shiny leather, but this one looks perfect. I hope it's thick enough to retain it's shape a bit once the leather breaks in more.

Sorry for so many questions!! I'm trying to decide between the large crimson Zoe and the cranberry Sabrina (I don't want both), and your bag just put the Sabrina back in the running! Now if I can just decide!!

Thanks so much for posting pics!!! Congrats on your new bag, and I hope you ENJOY it!!!

That is a SUPER cute bag!!! It looks great on you!
I just may have to add the one in cranberry to my wishlist, though I love the espresso color too. I just have enough brown bags in my possession or about to be shortly, otherwise this color would be an option for sure.
Congrats on your new beauty!

Congrats on the new bag and thanks for posting pictures! It looks very nice on you. I may have to check out this espresso color now. I think the cranberry color looks great too but I recently got a similar type of satchel in almost the same color (Botkier Bianca in Cherry).
