Just incase there is any confusion .. the Maggie came in three sizes.

E/W, regular & large.

Just so you dont order the wrong size.

I have a regular black one .. but saw a large stone one at the outlets & it was

Good luck with your decision. I don't have a Maggie but i've always liked it and hope to buy on one day.

Can't wait to hear what you do.

ok well I ordered the full size bronze maggie last night and it's been dispatched, so I'll let you know what I think when I get it!

Fingers crossed that you like it!

Well done Blivien, look forward to seeing the reveal and if you think its a keeper.

The large Maggie arrived! The colour is lovely, but the size looks far bigger than it looks, so it looks way too big on me. Plus the hardware on the zipper arrived tarnished and there are dents (probably from resting on other bags or turnlocks) on the back of the bag. Not sure if that's a fault and I can get free postage back? I'm definitely returning it, but not sure whether to exchange it for a regular sized maggie...

Also I'm a bit confused. On the website it says that the handle drop is 15.5cm. I just measured the handles and the drop is 25cm...What is it on everyone else's?!

I don't have mine with me but will measure the handle drop on my regular Maggie tonight. To be honest I'm not surprised that the large maggie is too big as you are the same height as me and the regular is perfect on me. Do you think you will exchange or just refund? Are you in UK? I would call them and ask about the dents and the tarnish. If you are exchanging you could ask if what you get in return will be perfect or have similar faults.

I called up customer services and they said if I wanted the regular maggie to order it before the shop closes in case they can't do an exchange. That should arrive tomorrow and hopefully I might get my money back for p&p for the large maggie! Fingers crossed!
