I own the medium globe bag in dark brown (see stock pic). I use it for work everyday, but it can also be used for weekend travel as a carry-on or as a diaper bag.
The only thing is, it's not a super light bag, like a bottega for example, so if you put a lot of stuff in it, like I do, it can get heavy. I work in finance so it suits my conservative dress code, but I agree with some of the previous posts that it's not for all women. I think it's timeless and a classic, so I was willing to invest in that.
Here's what the Loro Piana website says about the globe bag:
Loro Piana bags are simple and refined luxury objects that are made with prestigious materials and that pay close attention to extremely fine details.
Each bag is the result of long hours of work, based on the methods and pace of traditional artisans, making each model a unique piece.
The Globe Bag is such an example and is one of the favourites in the Loro Piana collection. Convenient, functional, and perfect for work or leisure, it is made with extreme care and attention to every detail.
The Globe Bag is highly versatile: thanks to its particular internal closure it can be carried with its sides folded inwards (and therefore perfectly closed) or left open in order to transform it into a capacious and easy to use shopping bag.
Other characteristics are the practical flapped outer pocket closed with a strap and loop, and the numerous inner packets, including one with a zip.
It is trapezoidal in shape and hand stitched, and available in three sizes: small, medium and mini.
A further characteristic is My Charms string, branded with Loro Piana logo, which has become an additional element distinguishing Loro Piana bags.
