I don't care for the musette because the flap is huge - way too much to lift up to get into the purse. My SA used to have it and hated it for that reason. I love the long strap Musette Salsa!
Hi Big Eyes
My name is Patty and I'm 55...didnt get the time to join u guys as yet...will do so later. Just wanted to say that I have the musette salsa long strap and use it as my "concert" bag also when I'm just running errands and want to be hands free...am very pleased with it...hope this helps.
later,
Regards from Patty
You know, another bag that is really nice, about the same size, with a long strap, is the Drouot. Doesn't get a lot of "press," but it's a really functional bag for shopping and can go cross body too. I do love the Musette Salsa. It's one I'm keeping my eyes open for.
Big Eyes, I have the Musette Salsa and I like it because it isn't haevy! It holds a wallet (not the zippy wallet, but a "normal" size), the mobile phone, the keys and the mini pochette with my pills and lip stick. I think it's really an agreable bag.
The Drouot and the Danube i don't like because they aren't good to open. The zip is very close.
The Salsa is a good bag for walking with my dogs, for shopping and for travel too, because it's light and I have my hands free! Go for it!
Glad to see this thread back - wondered where it went! Welcome!
