NBL, thanks for the pic!

I've been curious about this myself as I've ordered the large Sofia b/c I only have one other truly large bag- an A.J. Valenci one (the rest are mostly either small-medium or large-medium), and this Valenci large one has only a little flap to close it with a little belt over the open top, so you've got humongous gaps for things to be unprotected. I need a zipper top, which I added to the Sofia (not to mention a very handy detachable messenger strap which the Valenci one does not have). Although, looking at the Midi Sofia on the GreenPixie makes me think the large Sofia will definitely be a huge one in comparison to almost all my bags, lol. I'm not sure if it'll be everyday b/c of the size, but it sure would definitely help out when it comes to small getaways (which I have like every other weekend everytime I hang out with my SO) where I need to pack sleepover essentials, spare food, random non-everyday items, etc. It's a shame that I made it so pretty with the multi-gold and tan, turquoise lining, and dark gold with streaks though, that I want it to be everyday, lol.

Holy cow! On second thought, I looked at the measurements of this large Sofia: (L) 16 in. x (H) 14 in. x (W) 5.2 in., and I compared it to a Lapson bag that I would consider only a large-medium (not a true large) that I've had since December of last year and have very much enjoyed using as an everyday bag as I didn't even think it was too big at all for that. This Lapson measures 17.5"L x 14"H x 8.5"W, and so it is even bigger in L and W, and is the same in H! Wow, I'm pretty darn happy to discover this, lol. Pics can be quite deceiving as I looked at more pics of it looking very big on a 5'5" and 5'10" person, and I'm 5'2" and can pull it off.

As a matter of fact, there are several everyday large-medium bags in my collection that roughly fit these dimensions.
