I managed to grab this from H.com (US) a few days ago. I think it's beautiful, but I was hoping to wear it crossbody, and it hits just slightly higher than I hoped. Also, I'm struggling with the sangles right now! I previously had never owned a K or K wallet. I'm trying to figure out how to get into and out of the wallet a little more easily. Anyway, posting this here for everyone's reference, as I've found all of the information so helpful. (If anyone has any advice, I'm all ears. :smile:) This is Rose Confetti in Epsom.

Modeling photos would help, and your height!

For sangles, for my regular Kelly wallets (for the Kelly bag, I just let them hang loose), I usually just put the sangles underneath the flap. So put them through the turn lock, then the flap, for easy in/out. It's a tight fit, but it's okay. It's a lovely color. I'm waiting to get one from my SA in gold.

Thank you for the advice! I think I will let the sangles dangle. It feels tight enough that I guess I worry about damaging the turn lock. I'm shy about posting mod shots! I'm 5'6", but I'm chubby. I'm sure the WtG would hang slightly lower if I were more slender. I have a feeling you will get a call from your SA soon. There seem to be more WtG around now - a decent number showed up on-line last week, although they sold quickly. The Rose Confetti and Vert Criquet were my top choices, so I feel lucky to have managed to get one.

I remembered while taking this that the other reason I don't take mod shots is that I'm not very good at it! Please excuse my bare feet. Once again, I am 5'6":

I ended up measuring the strap length against my Evie TPM strap (I have no problem wearing the Evie TPM crossbody). If you compare the strap lengths from ring to ring and clasp end to clasp end, the WtG is slightly shorter, but the difference is less than an inch. (For reference for anyone interested, I believe the Evie TPM strap is 105 cm.) While I would still love for it to rest slightly lower against my hip, I think it may be okay, after all. Thanks!

I’m not totally sure about it, honestly, but of course I couldn’t think too long and I jumped! It fits my phone also with a case. I am going back to work in 2 weeks and initially thought I would only want mini bags to keep them as germ-free as possible. While at home, I have been exclusively using mini bags and WOC styles for trips to the grocery store and other essential errands. Now I am wondering if I will want to bring large bags to work instead to haul around extra sets of gloves, masks and extra hand sanitizer. Something tells me that I will do this for the first few weeks and then go back to mini bags though!

Thank you so much @Daosabao - that's very kind! :heart: I have been trying it on - I think it will work for me. I do love the color. I must confess, I wish it came with a little strip or little tabs with D rings that I could attach. I would enjoy wearing it with my Sangle Cavale (which would also give me that extra tiny bit of length).

Yes, it is. I think it depends on if you want a neutral or a pop color. It is more on the neutral side with just a little more brightness than the classic neutral shades.

I am more of a neutral warm-tone person, so I think I would love the foin colour as I really like the slight vanilla icecream shade
but on the other side, I would love to add a small bag with a pop colour to my collection
anyway I will meet my SA and see this lovely in person next week, see how it goes!
Thanks for all the information!
