While browsing thru everyone's pics of their new Prune Heloise bags, I couldn't help but notice that it looks like the shoulder strap is shorter than the Black ones. This was also confirmed to me by tagullah (thank you!). She thought that maybe it was becuz the Black was a Fall 2007, while the Prune is S/S 2008. I really love this bag and have every intention of buying one very soon. Prune has been my first choice, but I need to be sure it will fit on my shoulder. I saw a Gazelle one a few weeks ago and also loved that color. I didn't try the bag on though, so I don't know if the straps on that one are the same as the Prune or the black.
For all you Heloise owners (esp ones who own more than one), can you tell me if the straps are different lengths on different colors, or is it like tag said - all the S/S 2008 bags have shorter straps (including the new Black ones). The store had a Black one but I don't know if it was a 2007 or 2008 bag, but if the straps were longer on that bag than the Prune & Gazelle, I might just go with the Black -- of course I absolutely LOVE the Prune color and Gazelle is my 2nd choice, but carrying the bag on my shoulder is a must. If that means sacraficing the Prune or Gazelle for Black, that would be OK with me.
Here are two pics of Tag modeling her bags on her shoulder:
