BATIGNOLLES VERT or HORIZ

I'm 5 ft 1 in. Bought BH first due to all the recs here but returned and got BV. BH is just too wide but BV is perfect! Does not make me look shorter. Try to go to the store and try them on in person. I wish I did that first. Straps on BV is a bit shorter but does not bother me.
 
im actually thinking about the same question.
lol, cus im getting the BV/BH in a week's time when i get to sydney. But anyway, i think BH will look great, because im very petite as well, and i have no problems with BH
 
Horizontal because you can spread your stuff inside the purse. If you get the vertical, then I think all of your stuff would just be piled on top of each other like a grocery bag.

But, I would definately recommend trying both the vertical and horizontal when you go to the store. The vertical one is cute, but I prefer the Horizontal. I'm 5"3 and I think the BH looks fine for my height.
