Hi ladies!
Just a quick Q about the Box.
I was just reading ateliernaff.blogspot.com and it says the strap on the Box is 26.5" which is just a little bit longer than the strap on the City. Could it be worn across the body? I am very petite (5'0", 90lbs), by the way. Can someone who's around my height model the Box (or City) with the strap across the body?

Sorry to be a pest but I haven't had a chance to go to Holt Renfrew lately. I'm debating on whether I wanna buy the Vermillion Box.

Thanks a lot!

I think its possible.

I can do it with my City... not the comfiest, but I can pull it off!

I noticed that the strap on the Box is longer...

You are quite small too, so I think it would be OK...

They discontinued the box before the spring 07 colors came out so it wouldn't be a vermillion but a rouge VIF maybe (which would be gorgeous)..just an FYI that you better jump on it because once they're gone that's it!!

I'm sure you could do it. I'm 4'11" and about 85 lbs., and I wear my Cities as messengers all the time - it's very comfortable (and they sag prettily!). The extra length wouldn't hurt though.

And fabulous choice on the colour. :yes: It will be gorgeous on you!

I am 5'1" 100lbs. Wearing a semi-bulky sweatshirt, it's a tight squeeze. It's empty too, so if you put a wallet etc in it, it may fit differently.
