Molee808 what season is your Castagna? I had one and it looked nothing like yours, yours is gorgeous! I returned mine because I was so disapointed in the color.

my Castagna is from Spring/Summer... sorry to know that the one you had didn't work for you... but I also had a Castagna GSH PT once and it has a deeper brown and more red undertone compare to this Velo... I love that leather/color tone even more but too bad it was too heavy for me :-s

I tried on the City and the Velo and the City looked wide compared to its height. The Velo is slimming because it is taller and not as wide. I am trying to decide between Work and Velo, but Work might look wide as well.

I'm also only 5' and 90 lbs... So I struggled a lot to choose the right size for me... Proportion wise if I want carry it in my arms, First looks like a nice size... But the First doesn't have enough room for me as a daily bag..it's just enough to carry your most basic stuff like wallet, cell etc... I thought of getting the Town, but imo the cross-body type kinda weighs me down because I'm so short... So I wasnt sold on Town...
So at the end, I had to go with the City because I like the size and the rose gold combo, but honestly the giant hardwares look huge on me :D:D and I tried to carry the City in my Arms, it doesn't look as nice (proportion wise) as the First on me uggggghhh...
Well i guess I'm gonna carry my City on the shoulder which looks fine and comfortable, rather than carrying the handles ;)

Maybe I should've gone with Twiggy... But didn't see any Twiggy with rose gold combo... Does any of you know whether the Twiggy comes is rose gold hardwares at all??

Do you guys think the Giant City looks weird on a very petite girl? Need your opinion pleaseee so next time i know for sure which style to choose...
Thank you ladies, your opinions very much appreciated ;);)

I'm a bit late with this, but the Town is larger than the First and holds quite a bit. Just detach the long strap and carry it on your arm. It looks great that way.

i thought i had a twiggy but i have a box (similar shape except the twiggy is longer than the box and i always confuse the two lol)...the twiggy is going to hold a lot more than the town. i have a town and it is a great bag when i am only carrying my essentials. i believe others have said the twiggy holds nearly as much as the city - just proportioned differently. since you are about 5', i say either one will look nice and not overwhelming.

the town is slightly taller than the twiggy but the twiggy is more than 2 times as deep. and the twiggy is longer than the town. also structurally, the twiggy is going to sag/slouch more and the town holds its shape more (not sure which you prefer)

if this helps, here are the measurements of both courtesy of corey at RDC...sometimes i play around with my ruler and see how big the measurements seem compared to my keyboard lol :D

twiggy: 7"h x 14"w x 6.5"d
town: 8.5"h x 13"w x 2.75"d

This is great! I had no idea how small the city was until I saw it in person. Your thread helps a lot, too. I think in the future I will know to look for weekenders and works. I like bigger bags!
