Favorite Classic Bamboo Top Handle?

[MidlifeFashionPrincess]

I still love this bag, who's with me?

What is your favorite size? Color? Leather?

Very curious what fits in the 10 inch version (I don't know what to call it, Medium?)

I had a large one for a short time (about 13 inches), but it was too big for me. The very small ones are too small. I am always curious about the Medium (?) but have never seen one in the wild.

While I'm more of a smooth leather gal, I think the pebbled gives this a cool, casual look.

Please share!

The Large hasn't been made for quite a while, at the time BTHs were called New BTH. Now, only Med (10") Small & Minis are available. Originally (in 1947) they were 35cm. They changed shape to the classic we now think of in 1966. They added a strap in the late 1980s and brought in a Small 1993.

I have 2 Large and 2 Med.

My favorites are my Large hand-painted grey in boar-skin with a double strap and leather-threaded bamboo handle. The other is my newest, the Med BTH 1947 all-black which was on the Centenary Hack runway.
My most used and most useful is the Aviatione blue-grey, full-grain calfskin (Large New BTH)
I have to be the most careful with the light-beige Bold Med New BTH because the handle is covered in leather and it's a light colour. It's great for occasions though.

I would say the Med is a good handbag size

I absolutely LOVE BTH! One of my top three along with stirrup and horsebit. I agree with PT mediums are a god size
