WoW, a choo for birthday gift, thatīs a cool sis! (Glad my sister will never know about it, as I cannot afford this kind of gifts, imagine if she looked at it and liked it, I would be ruined ! )

I thought the same thing. it is like a bad porno line "my what I big key fob you have"

I just remeasured and for laughs it is 13 inches long... I wonder what they were thinking of

Okay, first of all- WTH is up w/ the length? Did they not look at it?

Wow on the sister's b-day gift!

I am still annoyed for you though, that this is something you wanted to give to her and don't want to now b/c of that. I do think a cobbler could cut it down in a snap, but you shouldn't have to pay for that.

I just took a look at my Veronica (regular size) because I remembered thinking the key fob strap looked a bit long. Sure enough, it is longer than the length of the bag, so the strap folds a bit on the inside. I think they intentionally make them long so you don't need to detach your keys from the bag when using them. It doesn't bother me though (of course, I also never use the fob).

On the lining, I think it works because it is fabric. When stuff is inside the bag, it will pull on the fabric, so you need give. Otherwise, the lining will tear. You probably notice more in this bag than other fabric-lined bags you have because of the small size of the bag itself. Suede and leather are tougher materials so bags lined with them don't need as much give.

On another note, I am so not a "pink" person (my husband keeps buying me pink stuff to change me), but I LOVE that Millie. So awesome!

Maybe give your sister both the JC and the Millie (put the Millie in the JC). It is a cute surprise!

This is wise, Jane. Proper research on fob-thingies. My Goldbleu fobs are annoyingly short, 2 inches, basically useless as I have to detach the keys to get them in the lock.

Veronica Max 11 inches
Tango 9 inches
Luka 9 inches
Tango Max is no where to be found, which is disturbing, but my office/purseroom is a disaster, so that's it.

I used my key thingie on my emilia to keep my keys from getting lost on my trip, and it was so handy to come to my car at the airport parking lot and really maneuver with my keys on the strap....really, really, handy! but, the Emilia is a far cry from a dainty clutch!

is that a key fob hanging out, or are you just happy to see me??!!

I agree with Jane: why not give the clutch AND the choo?? It's still adorable and your sis will never lose her keys.

I looked at my V Max and the fob is pretty long but not all that long....but it's not the size that matters, it's the motion in the ocean...uh, okay I've gone off the deep end on this line of joking.

LL, If you put inside the choo the clutch it would be even a better birthday gift! I am sure your sis is going to love the baby millie, and is so cute, so pinkie and girlie...
