Hello ladies! For those of you Bays owners I need some help! I am trying to downsize my bags... I currently have a large Mabel and a large Smithfield. My shoulder is feeling like it is near falling off these days, so I am ready for something smaller that I can't stuff quite so much into!

LOVE the Bays, but I do think the regular size is a bit large. Plus I have tried it on and I know it is a "snug" fit over the shoulder, which is how I prefer to wear my bags.

How does everyone feel about their EW Bays? Love it? Is it big enough? Do you wear the flap closed, or open? Does the flap get in the way of getting into the bag while shopping or running errands?

Help me decide!!

I used to think the e/w was out of proportion lol, but its a definate grower, and the more I see it, the more I think its super cute. If you got it in a patent it would also be nice and light on your shoulder :)

Its a yes vote from me

Never tried on an E/W Bays, but I know that it's not for me. I prefer the look of the more "square" Bays iykwim?
My vote goes to reg Bays!

I find the e/w more elegant, where as the original bays is to me more of an everyday bag. Haven't seen a e/w irl that I can remember, but I think it could pass as an evening bag for those who doesn't like classic clutches?

The greatest plus in my eyes with the e/w is that the straps are longer - and can actually pass as a shoulder bag! Can't believe Mulberry keep the straps at 15.5cm on the bays

Good luck deciding!

I love the regular bays... e/w looks a bit out of proportion to me... I prefer the ledbury shape if you want something smaller... but then again the handles are short...
