i've been eyeing a few campeggios on ebay, but not sure if they're practical for everyday use. i tried one on at macys and it seemed HUGE. i'm about 5'6" and avg. weight. i don't go to school anymore, so this would be more of an everyday bag. please give me your opinions ladies....

There's a smaller version of the Campeggio called the Stellina that is a bit better to go out in. Bubblesung has a WONDERFUL bag reference post comparing the two here: http://forum.purseblog.com/tokidoki-and-lesportsac/the-great-bag-reference-post-128293.html
Scroll a little down. :) Hope this helps!

Adorable icon btw!

thx jenryalee! i just created the avatar last night!

i already have a stellina, but the only citta rosa i can find (that's a decent size) is a campeggio. i want something like an everyday purse and i guess i was just wondering what everyone uses their campeggio for.

IMO Campeggios are little big for an everyday purse. I have a Playground Campeggio that I have used as a carry-on for vacations, which is perfect for me. It would just be way too big for me for everyday use though...

I love big bags, and I dont think its too big for an everyday bag (I'm 5'3 and kinda twiggy) BUT I cant get over the thought that it looks like a diaper bag on me.

Eejit · Jun 24th, 2007, 02:37 PM

I use a stellina for everyday, and only use my campeggio as a carry-on, or when I'm going someplace (like the zoo, amusement park, etc) where I need to bring lots of stuff for the kiddos (snacks, water bottles, sunscreen, hats, etc.). It's pretty huge for an everyday bag. I actually like the corrierre better for a big everyday bag, it seems to hug your body better and not be as bulky as the campeggio.

i <3 tokidoki · Jun 24th, 2007, 02:38 PM

hey ecny where did you find that decent citta rosa campeggio?

ecny · Jun 24th, 2007, 03:17 PM

i found 3 of them on ebay. i don't think they've been authenticated yet though.

LVixen · Jun 24th, 2007, 04:55 PM

The Campeggio is my very FAVORITE style EVER! And I definitely use them as everyday bags!

However, I do NOT wear them as messenger bags.
Instead, I make the strap as SHORT as possible, and wear it as a slouchy HOBO on my shoulder! I LOVE IT!!!!!

I have a Pirata Cucciolo that I use everyday to take my radio and assorted cables and remote and ipod/satellite radio plus lunch and snacks for work. Sometimes I use it for my second job on the weekends when I go "spy" on movie theatres, and I take my notebook and pens and other papers, book/magazines, water and snacks. I dont think it is too large for me, and it still has room.

"spy" on movie theatres? sounds like a great job!

i think i will get a campeggio, i'm just waiting on the seller to reply back to me! i can always use it for when i stay over my parents or as a small carry-on if i ever go on vacations!

TokidokiAngel · Jun 24th, 2007, 09:01 PM

I def. use campeggios as everyday bags and I don't think they're too big at all - and this is coming from someone short!

woah dinosaurs · Jun 24th, 2007, 09:02 PM

i didn't think i'd every purchase a campeggio, but since inferno is my favorite i had to try it out! it's adorable! i also freaked out cause it shows so much print!!! it's definitely an everyday bag when you've got more than your usual to carry.

meluvbags31 · Jun 24th, 2007, 10:55 PM

i've been using my campeggio for the past week...and it works out pretty well going from work to work. i don't put too much in it so it not too heavy. mostly just snacks for work.

Azumie · Jun 25th, 2007, 07:39 AM

campeggio doesnt look big on me (i'm shorter than u) but it can fit a lot. If you dont mind carrying little stuff in a big bag then it shouldnt be a problem to get campeggio as everyday bag.
