I'm having flashbacks to when I was first getting into bags and the Olsen twins started carrying those bags larger than most NYC studios.
I feel very squicky about the balenciaga designer's comment that he was "inspired" by those bags carrried by the homeless. [emoji52]
I don't like. I think they look like luggage. I could see women buying some of them for travel purposes, but I don't think they will sell well as everyday bags. They would be a major no-go for someone who has to commute on a train/subway, etc. They look like they would even be hard to fit into the passenger seat of a car easily. I put my purse in my desk drawer at work and lock it. These would never begin to fit into a desk drawer so they would not be practical for many workplaces just for security reasons. What about at a restaraunt? Would you have to say a party of five when it is only four people because your bag has to have a seat too since it is sooo large? That said, I am not a fan of big bags anyway. I like my small, compact bags (not super micro but small). As long as my bag fits my phone, mini wallet, key cles, and lipstick then I am good to go. I would use up less than 1% of these huge bags 
I thought this was a tasteless comment as well.
I hadn't heard that. How awful. He really has lost touch with reality as he sits in his little fashion bubble.
I'm cracking up on the bag being a part of the dinner reservation.I don't like. I think they look like luggage.

Now, if the bag is a good conversationalist and willing to pay the check out of its own funds, I'll buy it tomorrow.
Extremes don't really work for me. I don't need something huge or anything tiny.
I do need on the large size because I schlepp around too much. (edited to replace 'sleep' with 'schlepp'.)

I actually like big slouchy bags but man, some of those are HUGE! I don't see how they'd be practical for everyday use. As a carry on or weekender, maybe. Even if I were to need a ton of stuff for that day, I wouldn't want to stuff all of those things into a single bag, that would absolutely kill my shoulders.
Haha I was wondering! Either way it made me smile [emoji4]

Haha!
Heck, might marry it!
Just when I finally managed to squeeze my stuff into a mini bag on weekend lol. I welcome space but honestly I suspect "they" don't carry much anyway so their stuff always fits regardless of macro or mini bags and weight of bag is never a concern too.
