Ladies and Gents,

I'm looking to buy a toolbox 33 for myself, but my friend told me it's not exactly an easy to use bag, she said it's too sloppy and it's hard to take things from the bag.

Does anyone of you have any experience using this bag? My major concern was the shoulder strap was too short, now after my friend told me that, I really need to re-consider, since it's almost the same price as a birkin (for size 33).

So please share your thoughts!!! I really appreciate it!!!

My aunt bought a 33 thinking that a 26 would be too small for her. It's been a year and she hasn't used it at all... Some people like the size but you might want to try out the sizes first?

And you're right, it's almost as expensive as the B so that's another issue. :(

Have you tried 33 in person? It's a very very big bag because it has a square base. I don't think a B35 is big but when I tried toolbox 33, it looked like a travel/weekend bag to me.
 
I tried on 20, 26 and 33. For myself I'd get a 26 as it'll hold all of my essentials. A 20 would have been okay if I just need to carry a small wallet, key case, sun glasses and a small make up bag. It'd be a tight fit so that's why I prefer a 26. I tried on a 33 and it's like an overnight bag to me. I'm petite and when I held it with my arm down, it nearly touched the floor. If you're taller and need to carry a lot (commute to work or need to bring all your essentials like water bottle, umbrella, book, etc.) then this would fit the bill otherwise it's quite slouchy when empty. If you do a search on this forum, you may be able to find some pics of the 33 in action.

20 Toolbox was US$6400, 26 US$7200 and 33 US$9750 this past November.
 
There's something about the toolbox I like. A dear friend is in talks with a private seller right now. Once I see hers in person I'll have a better idea if it is to go on my wish list.

Size 26 is comfortable👍
Now I know what u meant. I totally agree after using it for a while... :laugh:
The "magic" is to use the shoulder strap! U actually won't feel the weight, comparing with carrying it by the handles.

This is a "strange bag", I actually had put it aside for almost a year since I bought it,
'cos I kept thinking it's shape is odd and bulky.... But the more I use it, the more I'm loving the bag!?? It's easy to access to the stuff inside and quite roomy.
I strongly recommend this bag over a lindy.

This is the type of bag that grows on you, mine is a present from my DH for our 16th wedding anniversary last Dec., he liked it, I took it, not even sure about it yet. Then I started my research, played with it and I said hey, this bag has a lot of potential and it is quite "low key-under the radar kinda thing"... I think that's what I like from it the most! I am not sure if this is one of the hard to come by ones that Hermes have but it is exciting to have in possession😘
 
Good day!

Admiring all your gorgeous toolboxes and hoping to get a 26 by next week - from a reseller though. I got tired of chasing H bags everywhere and there's ALWAYS no stock!

May I know what comes with the bag?

And can someone please post pics of the inside if you bought yours in 2013?

Thanks so much!!!
