Lengthwise it's shorter than the twiggy, but I think it holds a lot. I can carry two trade paperback books in mine in addition to my phone, wallet, sunglasses, checkbook & keys with room to spare. I've never had a problem with not having enough room with mine.

;) Here's a photo for you with the Twiggy and Box next to eachother. I love the Box! For a smaller bag choice, it holds a lot of stuff. I hope this helps!

Hi ame and welcome to B-bag hysteria!:graucho:

The Box is shorter and less wide than the Twiggy - yep "boxier" LOL - but that's my preference.

I recall many PFers have had the same question you did and here are a few good older threads with comparison pictures, dimensions, etc.

I was thinking the same thing. I was debating between a box and a twiggy. I think I will like the box style better because it is not as wide. I am waiting on a magenta box and I am really excited. I have never seen the box IRL so I hope I love it!!

I am petite and the box looks cute with the handles on my shoulder, tucked under the arm or carried on my foream. Personally, I don't like to carry a bag in my hand but it would work well that way too. I also have to say that I do not like how it looks carried by the longer strap or with it dangling so I took it off...It is my only Bbag that I leave the long shoulder strap at home.

The Twiggy holds a little more than the Box, but the Box holds more than one would think by looking at it. I know there are many, many, many Twiggy lovers out there, but when I got my 05 Turquoise Twiggy I found the look of it kind of funky. Like a long loaf of bread. The Box to me is super cute looking and a great smaller bag that is deffinitely not too small. It also looks good filled up, and with very little in it. When I didn't put a lot of stuff into my Twiggy the distribution of things made it look and hang unevenly. I am super sad they discontinued the Box style! In addition to the links added, I have attached a photo to this thread for comparison. The bags are obviously stuffed for storage, and both the Twiggy and the Box look better when the shape is relaxed and not stuffed.

Hey guys!

Is it just me or does the twiggy and the box look kind of similar? :yes: Does anyone have pictures with them side by side??? I'm trying to decide which one i :heart: more

I feel like the Box isn't as popular though...haven't really seen many posts about them or seen one in real life either :(. Do they still make them?

thanks in advance!!!
