OK, so I :heart::heart::heart: the WC/ Aquarelle print. I have the bandeau and I just love to stare at it. So I am waitlisted for the speedy BUT I don't think I will take it because I am too afraid of the white lining. (I am a total slob, it will be gross in 3 minutes). soooooo

My SA got me a WC Pap. It is lovely. I mean beyond beautiful BUT...when actually carrying it...it feels odd. I feel like it turns in a weird direction when I put it on my arm at the elbow and the only way I can't put it on my shoulder is with it sticking straight up and down...

Do Paps 'loosen up'??? I saw a girl today whose arms were waaaay bigger than mine and she had an older Pap (really dark leather) and she had it over the shoulder...do the straps 'give' over time??? How do you carry the Pap? Will I get used to it? Or should I just :crybaby:pass on the WC lina altogether????? HELP!!!!!!
 
I know what your talking about, I've seen that on several girls haha. I think its really chic when girls use the Pap, as a top handle, on the crook of an arm kinda bag.. you know what I mean?

I love the WC Papillon!
 
EEEK!!!! Now I just got the call for my WC Speedy!!!! I'm going tomorrow to see it and decide between the Speedy & Pap. Yikes!!! I can only allow myself one...keep saying it...one...one...one:wtf:
 
^Good luck with your decision! I impulsively purchased the WC papillon because I couldn't resist the colours and the way they popped on the dark canvas. The papillon is quite cute carried over the shoulder if you flip one strap over the other so that it becomes a single strap (am I making any sense here?) Otherwise yes, it fits over the shoulder but the underneath part of the arm will squish the papillon, regardless of whether your arms are big or tiny.
 
^^^ I agree with the whole put on strap in the other and use one on your shoulder. That's how I usually wear mine. But sometimes I hold it in my hand or the crook of my arm, like a speedy.
