My new Marc Jacobs summer traveler tote! Also in comparison with the beige version, which I will be returning shortly.

Summer tote next to the beige; beige looks a little bigger, but they're the same size

Did you find the summer tote was heavier than the beige? I have just purchased the summer and also a black large and trying to decide on which one to keep.

Unfortunately, I cannot remember. My beige was the small size and I'm thinking they were about the same weight. One of the reasons I chose the small over the large size was because of the crossbody option. I'm actually about to leave on a small weekend trip and packed everything I need in my small summer tote, so it's the perfect size for me for every day carry and weekend trips. But I pack pretty minimally so that might not work for most. Let me know which you choose to keep!

Thanks for the feedback. I’ve just returned the summer tote as it was too similar in size to my longchamp. Mine was also a bit stiff, and I prefer a bit of slouch. I also like the small for the strap option. I’m still deciding on whether to keep the large I think it will be a good size for me as I carry a lot in my everyday bag and just want to be able to reach in and find what I need easily. And when I travel be able to pop snacks or a jacket on the top instead of using two bags. It sits comfortably on the shoulder and is pretty lightweight for its size. Hopefully I will make a decision on it soon.
 
Was gifted this Maison de Beaute Marseille "Cholet" bag yesterday. At first introduction, my OCD was spiking due to the offset shoulder strap and the asymmetrical shape, but after running a few errands with it today, I have to say I'm feeling it!

It clears the elbow, lays nice on the bod and there's easy access to my items without taking it off my shoulder. I won't go into detail about what the red leather interior does to me. (You're welcome.:biggrin:)
