Can anyone tell me the differences, pros/cons? I love my mercer 3C but the yam bungalow on ebay looks yummy. Does it hold about the same but with one strap vs two? anyone have a size pic comparison?
Thanks!

Bungalow is large in comparison. It is also much more structured where the mercer 3C is smooshy.
Gingey described it as a loaf of bread under your arm and I tend to agree, though I find it attractive.
If the price is right, try one out! I have two &

them

Pretty purseys, Leo!!!

Gorgy pics, Leo!

In your pictures, the bungalow looks like it could be the same width as the Trophy Satchel! The TS is about 16" across. How big is the bungalow?

17"L x 6-3/4"H x 6"D bungalow measurements

Leo great pics!
I've owned both in the past and I think they are very different bags. Bungalow is structured and is a bit bulky under the arm. it doesn't slouch at all.

mango,I measured mine at 17"across (including side pockets)

Oh, wow. That is one wide bag! I love how the bungalow strap "swings" on the loops that attach it to the body... neat design!

Thanks guys!

I think the Bungalow is a really cool bag. I hoped that I would like the RM Mattie as well; I don't.

paelaf · Oct 29th, 2009, 07:56 PM

Can you post pics of that one, syb?

maegrace · Oct 29th, 2009, 08:49 PM

Thanks! The bungalow is a pretty bag..but looks a little big for what I need. Maybe I'll just stick with the mercer. I

my mercer.

Yep, I will....but it may be a day or two. Got it last night and need to catch up on some other stuff before another photo session with supermodel Rory. Although, maybe I should strike while the stove is still clean....

Awesome! Rory will totally rock it. Sorry it's not working for you though. The teal is so gorgeous.
