I had a large one and then sold it, I wanted to use the shoulder strap with it but it was waaaay too long (I'm 5'5), and even if I would have adjusted the strap by punching more holes, I don't think it would have looked good. So, if you want to carry school stuff and a laptop in there, I wouldn't rely on the shoulder strap. If you carry with the handles, it'll probably be too heavy.
Hope this helps![]()
Thanks this does really help. I still really love the style of the bag and I want a designer purse regardless of using it for school. Would you recommend as a purse only? I am thinking of getting the smooth leather only because it has silver hardware and I don't like the look of gold + black. For school I decided to just get a back pack (:
Also, I really only use the long strap on my purses and it's one of the reasons I really love this bag... I'm 5'6" tho /:
