Do you mind if I ask if you are a curvy, straight figure or normal figure? Do you plan to wear her on your shoulder? I would think the 20 would work on you and if you don't carry too much capacity wise the 20 is better IMO. Can you try them on at a store?Hello everyone. Looking to buy a Toolbox, ut torn between size 20 and 26.
I’m generally drawn to smaller bags, even if I am about 170 cm (5’7”). I don’t put a lot in my bag too, so capacity is not a consideration. Just aesthetics.
Do you think I can pull off a Toolbox 20 or should I go for 26? For Lindy, the Lindy 26 looks too small on me, so definitely Lindy 30 for me. But the toolbox is boxy so I was hoping I could carry a smaller size. What do you think?

If you plan to carry on your shoulder you have to think about how much it might stick out since it is so boxy. I'm way shorter than you at 5"1 so I avoid carrying it with the shoulder strap and only hand carry. It's a tough call which size will look better on you. Since you say the Lindy 26 looks funny on you I can't imagine which TB will look better. Can you get to the store?I have a straight figure (UK 36-38 or US 2-4). I plan to carry the bag on my shoulder and by top handleif the 20 is too small, will i look funny with it?
No slouchy feel. I don't like slouchy bags per say but on the other hand I don't like super structured bags like the Constance. I'm in between
But I don't like my handbags to get sloppy looking if you know what I mean. I'm not familiar with the novillo leather but evercolor is known to be a little stiffer. Here is a pic of her with the organizer inside. She is Etain.

Good luck!TDF!! I am patiently waiting for an Etain or graphite toolbox in size 26 myself.
hank you! They don’t have the TB in the store nowIf you plan to carry on your shoulder you have to think about how much it might stick out since it is so boxy.

Oh that's too bad. Hope they get stock in soon!T

Thank you for the tip!im a little taller, do you think the height difference will make the bag look odd on me?
I'm not a public figure so I don't think people will look at me.
So glad they made it in GHW. My 20 in indigo with GHW. Thanks for letting me share. [emoji170]
