I LOVE the zippy bouler but I only have the large ones, (17x10) so I can't really comment on the medium sized ones. The large are GORGEOUS! In fact I have Roz from ebay (roz77772002) searching for one now in the "canelle" color! It was on Diabro.net for the LONGEST time and I just let it sit there! I have the large zippy in black, chocolate, ivory, jaune (yellow), whiskey, taupe, gazelle, tan, and dark gray. It's a wonderful bag and I recommend it highly!! I found one in mousse, but didn't buy it, because it turned out to be the medium size. (I'd love it in that color as well!)
Sorry it didnt attach the pic. Duh!

Hi Beanie
That is the type of colour I am looking for.
Could you give me some idea of the size of the very bottom compartment. I am specifically looking at this bag due to that bottom part. I have medical stuff I have to carry round with me, which for several reasons I need to keep separate from the main contents of my bag. This style to me is ideal, plus I love the shape.
I would go for the large one, but, as I haven't seen one in real life, I am concerned obviously it wouldn't suit what I need it for.
Hope that makes sense.
Hi Ali! As much as I love my Gris-Vert large east west, I have found that it is the least practical of all my Paddingtons. The fact that it's heavy doesn't bother me as much as the interior space on the bag. I hate that it's divided into two because of the bottom zipper and I find the top compartment too shallow to stuff my things in. I normally don't close the zippers on my Paddies when I use them and just flip the lock over but realised that I can't do this on the east west because being that it's shallow, if I sit it down on a table with the zipper open, things start falling out.
Oh and that bottom compartment? I put wipes and tissue packs in it but I feel it's such an impractical space in the bag.
I'm keeping it though because I am in love with the shape and the look of it and will just use it when I know I won't be doing much walking (which is when the bag tends to weigh me down).
