LID: that's great to know. Enjoy your Lilys.I have two. I carry most of my handbags on the crook of the arm and this one was very comfortable. I also found myself throwing it over my shoulder a few times and it stayed! The strap is wide and has a textured inside that keeps it from sliding...nice. Also, the inside is spacious but not overwhelming. It is a nice medium bag. I am 5'2" and it was not too large for my frame. I had no problems with wear...I used it 30 consecutive days and it looks perfect. I have no worries about using it as an everyday bag. The leather is somewhat structured but that is what I like. I like the clean look of this bag. The weight is average. It is not as lightweight as nylon but is not as heavy as florentine. There is no zip closure. But the hook closure was simple and fun to use. I purchased the Bordeaux in fall and ordered the bone in spring. I would also love to get a ginger someday. I received a lot of compliments on the Bordeaux (I have not used the bone yet...too much rain lately). Overall, I have way too many Dooneys and I can honestly say I REALLY enjoyed carrying the Lily.
