I really like big bags, and would love to have an LV shoulder bag. Does anyone have a Mono Canvas Luco Tote, and if so, what has your experience been - any sagging, does it keep its form? Thanks for your thoughts!

I don't have this bag but from I can see it is very structured and you shouldn't have a problem with sagging. It measures 12"x16"x4" so it really isn't too wide. I think it would be good for carrying papers, small books, and other daytime necessities(probably a good work tote)--If you are looking for something more heavy duty, you may want to look into the Cabas Piano or Cabas Mezzo. :smile:

i like it a lot...more structured and has more compartments. looks like it would be better to carry a laptop in...

i also like the beige microfiber lining ;)

I have it..too strustured for me! It is really large and I agree would be good for holding a laptop. The shoulder keeps falling off my shoulder too. Doesn't open very wide to get into..I have to set it down to dig in it.

all-in-all...not liking mine

I have it, and it's one of my all-time favorite bags. Haven't been using it as much lately because mine's kind of beat up... I used it every day for years.

It's very structured (rigid, almost) and will never sag, no matter what you put in it. I think I overworked mine a bit by putting a small laptop in it... the straps are a bit too thin to withstand *that* much weight, imo. It's a great size for people who like big bags, and surprisingly slim in it's profile.

I guess I like it so much because it's so roomy and still structured. I don't like floppy bags (ala Speedy w/ it's famous sag).

Here are some ref pics (sorry for bad quality... and bathroom!) I'm 5'8, 120lbs, size 2-4ish for reference.

Ooh, and it has a zip-top, which I love.

Thank you all for your replies, and thanks for the pics Lala - that really helps to see it being carried for a reference. I love the bag, and now after hearing so many positive responses, I think I will just have to buy it!!! :yes: Thanks, again, and I will post some pics once my collection is one family member larger!

^^ Oh didn't know it's been dicsontinued. I tried it on before at the store and it was heavy and a bit too large. I settled on the Babylone instead which can hold as much and is tons lighter.

I like and dislike the structured look... I find it nice that it's got a shape, but it might be uncomfy to carry cos of the body. It's also a little too wide. I'd prefer if they made it slightly smaller.

If you like big bags, you might also like BH.
