Question on Zip-Dome Bag

Lulagirl · Jul 22nd, 2008, 07:55 AM

Hey ladies! I'm a Dior newbie here so forgive my ignorance. I LOVE the Gaucho Zip-Dome in the large size but am wondering if it is a "shoulder bag" or more of a "hand-held?"

I'm sure hoping it will fit over my chunky shoulder since my most recent bag was my first shoulder bag & has spoiled me to be hands free :-) The description of the gaucho says it has "2 top handles with a 7 1/2 inch drop." Is the leather on the handles smushy leather that bends under your arm or is it stiff and not conducive for shoulder wearing?

Sorry for the long story but I was hoping to accurately depict what I was wishing for. Thanks in advance for your help!!!

I carry my gaucho tote over my shoulder so it fits right under my arm.

The leather is quite malleable and the straps (at least on mine) adjust.

I just got this bag in the mail from NM yesterday and I love it!!! The straps are adjustable to 3 different lengths so I put them on the last hole and I can carry it on my shoulder. When set at the smallest, it is more of a handbag. The bag is definitly a shoulder bag when full, because it can hold so much stuff it can get heavy if you really fill it up. Which is the reason I got mine, toting everything I need for work, plus my lunch in it.

The leather on mine is a little stiff, as I've only carried it today, but I definitly don't have a problem carrying it on my shoulder. I am sure with use the leather will become more maleable and they will loosen up. Hope this helps!!!

I would say a shoulder bag.Here is one on eBay at a good price, what a beauty. I wish I could afford it. This one has the mock croc in dark brown, The seller is a tpfer with excellent feedback.
