I have a black Diane and a Chili Hudson. I use the Diane like wild. I agree with the poster who said she uses hers for business travel. It holds a TON of stuff! And I like that it's an MJ bag, but is different... distinctive. (Plus I got it for a steal, which makes it even better!) I could easily fit my laptop, books, magazines, and my newborn (just kidding about the last part!) in this bag. I have to say, the Venetia hold a ton, too. It really does! Only thing is that I can't wear it comfortably over my shoulder. But my first two MJs were Venetias and for a long time, I swore that was THE only MJ bag I'd carry because I was so nuts about it. Love my black and my white Stella, too... but the Diane stands up better, whether you have a little or a TON inside.
