does anyone have pictures of Weekender/Couriers side by side?

[tofuchan]

i was just wondering if anyone has pictures of both bags next to each other..I was trying to see the size on how much bigger the WE is compared to the Courier..I love the courier and have NEVER tried on a WE so i'm wondering if it will look funny on me or just way too big..as i would hate to buy one that was just for travelling..makes no sense it just sit in the closet all day until i go somewhere

sorry to post again but i wanted to bump this up as i am curious to see what they are like in comparison..i want to get a WE but have no idea how it will look or hang on me..but i love my courier..and so if anyone has both bags i would really really love you forever for posting! =)

I don't have a courier - but here's my Weekender on me. I'm 5'5:

ohmygod
looks amazing on you..do you use it everyday? i'm still debating if a we is just not practical for everyday like my courier is =)

^^Yes I do. But I'm a packrat! LOL I've never been a "little bag" girl. I don't overload it though. It's a F/W '07 (when they started doing the longer handles) so it's really comfy over the shoulder!!

Thank you btw!

tofu, check out the weekender thread in the club section. Cracker posted some gorgeous pics of herself with the courier and the weekender. That might help.

I haven't carried a weekender but my hunch is that because of the way it's carried the courier collapses more into itself. KWIM?

Anyway, here are the dimensions from the reference section:

Courier [159671] $1,175 23 x 15 x 8.5 adjustable shoulder strap leather tag only 3444

Weekender (Voyage) [110506] $1,495 21 x 15 x 9 no strap silver tag (as of S/S 04) 213048

Here's my EB Courier and Violet WE. I think they are similar size when laid flat. However, the Courier slouches more when carried, so it tends to look smaller than the WE. Hope this help.

whoa shopboy!!!!!!!!!! i'm drooling......thanks for the pic..

i saw the measurements and the courier is that same size but it DOES look smaller..i'm just wondering if it will look wierd so boxy on my for the WE.....i'd love to see it with something heavy in it weighing it does so i can see how it hangs on the body =)

can anyone tell me how long their We handles are? and also the drop from top to the top of the bag? and also if anyone has the 07 we's that had the longer handles, those measurements as well..
i see some listed with 10.5" handle length..which seems SHORT as my work is longer than that and it's snug for the work..10.5" sounds way too snug..=(
