Your right CeeJay....the tote is huge!! I received it today. I wouldn’t mind keeping it to travel, but the bottom is so wide that when it’s carried on the shoulder it sticks way out. Bummer...back it goes. Thx for your help ladies. I really appreciate it.It's funny, I used to always go for the large bags, but over the years (and thanks to a bad car accident), I need to keep the size of the handbag to either the City or City S. When I first saw these bags in person, I remember thinking that the large size was a behemoth and that it was definitely too big for me.
