Honestly, I wasn't a fan. I tried it on and it just hit on a really weird spot on me. Then again, I'm kind of a shortie so it'll probably look better if you're tall!
It is not heavy at all. It is quite light. I dont believe it would look very good as a messenger. If you are tall, you would like it more than if you are not. I am 5'11" and it hung down pretty long.
Thanx for all the feedback! I went down to the boutique today and asked if they have it coz I did not see it on display and they took out a few colours for me! I tried it on personally...hmmm...think I will stick to 255 designs...
