I like different sized bags for different purposes. A bag that large can only be used methinks for work or school. For going out, it's just so unwieldy. Also, I'm not strong, period. It's exhausting imagining having to haul that much leather around.
Does size really matter? The new Oversized bags - Love them or leave them?

I'm sure won't have any problem sneaking my kid into my carryon. [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]
I think it looks fun in the runway. But I think I have enough sense to know what work for me IRL. I'll just entertain it like I watch a silly shows. If it works, it works. If it's not, I'll leave it there. A mid size bag works best for me, but that's not fun on a runway. 
My reaction to oversized bags were, at least I can carry my (90 lb) dog around in a designer bag now! He's been missing out on all the fun of the smaller dogs.
That said, I'm a die-hard fan of the micro bag. Being petite, smaller bags look to normal sized on me and the micros are my crossbody bags. My wallet is happy have a break and may finally come out of hiding lol.

Perephrasing a famous saying i'll speak for myself - to every each occassion its own bag.
I love big bags.
I love hobos.
I apply principle - everything in moderation, my hobos are mid-sized and perfectly fit as my size and frame, so well serve their direct purpose - carry my daily stuff.
I have weekenders which are used for weekend get-aways, a couple of bigger totes which i use to lug bigger stuff or when i travel.
But when a designer offers massive oversized bags, or tiny-mini, i only take them as fashion objects good for catwalks rather than something really usable.

I honestly love this. I bring a large office bag to work, but still need to carry my lunch separately and a third bag for workout clothes. I also carry a purse, so I am draped with 4 bags going to work, which is a much worse look than one huge bag. I definitely need a huge bag for functional reasons, but dislike many of the popular options for a large tote aesthetically (don't want a neverfull and don't like my Garden Party). I like that gold Celine a lot actually. I would put a small purse in the huge bag and leave the bag at my desk during the day.
I think this seems to be also a question of definition. For me, an oversized bag is something that's wider than 45 cm/18 inches. Not an Ikea bag or hand luggage. Because who wants to carry those instead of a handbag just because it's trendy. 
I think bigger than a roomy purse and I want to go ergonomic and use a cute backpack to save my shoulder.
I'm an avid thrift-shopper, I would LOVE one of this huge shoppers to take with me when I go thrifting... but they're totally out of my price range, so instead I take my cheap laundry bag with me....
I am drearing the come back of big bags... I have never liked big bags or carrying too much stuff, and back in the time when wearing a small bag looked silly, my biggest handbag was the (reasonably sized) Balenciaga Day and I found it a bottomless pit. I think that is what made me become a clutch person. I now enjoy carrying small crossbodies/shoulder bags. My hope is that this runway trend is so over the top, it will take quite a while to stream down into something that makes sense street-wise.
They have started to pop up on eBay and other resale sites. In time, in time
A great way to have your kids enjoy travelling, they can play hide and seek in these bags.
Yes, finally! Very chic! You said you are petite so maybe your dog will have to carry you around instead?
I've read the thread here on "designer bags you'd never own/buy" and I'm sort of shocked by all TPF:ers who would never wear a Balenciaga, like a City. How can you not love them?! My takeaway from such comments is that I'm just blessed with such remarkably good taste. While others are not
I hope for those of you who like these over-sized bags, that's your takeaway from this thread too 
It would be very interesting to see pics from anyone here who has bought one of these over-sized bags and how you use them. They are selling, so obviously not just for the runway.
It's what he does on walks, so I'm sure he'd be cool with it. He prefers the Chanel, but I'm kind of partial to the Coach one with Rexy pulling the stagecoach. Seems kind of fitting, you know? And it matches him. I do love that image. I'm hoping they'll release it in something smaller.Yes, finally! Very chic! You said you are petite so maybe your dog will have to carry you around instead?
The oversized Gucci Sylvie is starting to appeal as a work bag that'd fit my laptop. Kinda wish they'd done a Dionysus though.

(I once stored by off season bedding in one of these and the color leached onto my white sheets...)

It could be them trying to crash into my luggage when I try to sneak out on my solo trip. [emoji16][emoji16][emoji16]
If anyone is selling, I hope it'd be a LV Petite Malle. [emoji16] I have a crush on that bag, but it's too expensive for such a small bag. I'd be more than happy to take over an outdated piece out of her hand. [emoji16]
