It's been a while since I've been on this forum, but I was looking for some advice Against my better judgement, I have decided to get the Panarea (not because I think it's a bad thing, I've just promised my OH that I would be saving money ). I have decided to finally purchase it, but can only do so through the UK online store, because we don't have a Dior boutique here. So here are my questions:
1) There are only two sizes available through the online Dior shop: 30cm x 25cm x 15cm, or 36cm x 27cm x 18cm. Which size would you recommend? I'm approx. 5'5"-5'6" and I like a good sized bag, but I'm worried that the first size might look a bit small on my shoulder
2) In deciding between the two sizes, if I were to go with the smaller size, they only have it in beige and black. Which would you recommend? I was tempted to go with the beige, but am worried that dirt will be more visible. Then there are photos from doing a google image search of Dior Panarea where the black actually looks quite nice, but it might be too dark to wear with everything, especially since I alternate between neutral, dark and bright colours. There's also the mink grey and red colours for the large size, but I wouldn't get the red and am not too sure about the grey.
3) Can people post photos modelling the smaller and larger sizes? I've been getting confused as some sites sell them as 'Small' and 'Medium', or 'Medium' and 'Large'. The Dior site only says the Panarea canvas tote or the Large Panarea canvas tote.
Basically, it's a question of colour and size and to see photos of people modelling their bags so I can get an idea of which size would suit me better.
Many thanks in advance
