Oohh I get jitters when I pick her up! Still so exciting and lovely
She can hold a ton of stuff - today I loaded her up only a little over halfway and I had a wallet, agenda, Longchamp LP pouch crammed full of things, 500 ml water bottle, sunnies, small jar of Body Shop body butter, key pouch, umbrella, phone, A5 notebook, scarf and a handful of loose small items (bus card etc). She could take my 10 inch tablet and f.e. a pair of gloves as well and still not be stuffed full. Definitely a Tardis bag, not something I'd carry to work (commuting, crazy weather, weird people around my workplace etc) but for free time & travel, she'll be just perfect! If I switch jobs and move towards office work, then she'll probably become my workhorse bag.
A coworker has the same bag in the 34 cm size, she told me she's had it for almost 3 yrs and she hasn't babied the bag at all. It still looks like new, very little slouch and almost no scratches and marks. The leather is super shiny but also veeery durable so I don't have to worry too much...I'll still be bringing a dustbag with me every time I travel with Roseau since I don't want to put it on the bus/train floor without any kind of cover.
Wow!
You can hide a baby in their! haha, well it just shows that you don't need to spend thousands of dollars to get a great bag!
