Opinions on PETIT BUCKET / MARAIS please :)

I had a Mono Petite Bucket - it was very roomy and easy to get in and out of. But the straps drove me nuts! Funny thing is, is I miss it and am looking at the Marais. :blink:
 
I really love both of them, they are such a cute style bag. My only problem with it (what turned me away) was the fact that it was open. I have 3 small children that love to go through my purses, so the bucket style is just making it way too easy for them to snoop!
 
The Petit Bucket is a smaller bag. I can get most of my stuff in it, but it's tight. Do love the pouch that comes with, though. I use that every day to carry cosmetics.
 
I had a Marais and thought it was great. Roomy and easy to get in and out of. One of the only shoulder bags I willingly carried! My only wish would have been that the matching pochette have that washable lining like the Pochette Cosmetique does (the little cosmetic pouch shaped like a half moon).
