I have one and yes it can hold a good amount. But the only thing I dislike is that the zipper sometimes gets caught on the piece of fabric that is in the middle of the two sections. I almost had to rip mine open the other day.
resin - oh I so love your playground denaro.
i just started using my spiaggia bambinone this week and OMG it holds SOOOOOOO much stuff in those 2 little sections, you'd be surprised how many times ive had to dig around to find my keys all week! i kept losing things in it! it may look tiny, but its like a teeny bag black hole! lol
See, I can't do the whole "across your chest" thing because my chichi balls (as my preschoolers put it) are way too big and messenger bags look absolutely dumb on me, completely separating the boobages. *lol*
So it isn't possible to just like, wear it on one shoulder? Is the strap THAT long?
And would a Bambinone be better than a Ciao Ciao for everyday purposes? Like going to the movies, library, casual things? Or would a ciao ciao be better for that?
BTW: Could someone post some reference shots from the side? I know Bubblesung has that reference post, but I'd appreciate a few more. This'll be my last bag most probably, so I'd love you guys forever if you could help me with this!
i thought the bambinone looked really cute, but at it's shortest strap length, it was almost at my waist (if i can remember correctly). i like shorter straps. but if you're going to wear it cross body like the ciao ciao, it should be perfect. lots of ppl find the ciao ciao to be too big and flat. i guess it depends on the style u like. if u can, try to go to a store that sells these two styles and try it on. i personally love the ciao ciao. i have it in foresta and am going to get it for pirata and vacanze.
