Thank you for the quick input! sf_newyorker, yours is the color and size I am thinking of, but in GHW. Can I ask how the straps is attached to the inside of the bag? I need to go into my local store and try out but afraid I will succumb to buying one without figuring out the strap issue if I see the bag IRL!
Hooray for the Halzan...

Sure - my SA was wondering the same so I sent these pics to her a couple weeks back. Halzan is really a wonderful bag - good luck!
Yes - at first it feels as if you’re forcing the clasp through the slot, but with careful maneuvering it slips through easily to attach to the metal part. Another consideration, probably a DIY project, is fashioning an older Twilly into shoulder pad or wrapping/tying it to the part that rests across your shoulder. This will provide a tad more real estate to the thin strap.
Wow, that's a super idea, sf_newyorker! Given that, I can definitely see myself using a wider canvas strap for crossbody. Gppd luck on your your DIY--sounds ingenious
by the way~ my SA told me that Halzan mini will no longer be in production next year... just FYI!
I can’t take full credit for the idea. A couple of other tPF members have posted similar photos before me, either with a sangle cavale or twillon!
That’s too bad about the mini Halzan. It’s adorable, especially the ones in bright colors. However, as some have mentioned before, the price point is much higher than the tpm which serves almost the same purpose.
Would appreciate any advice on my most recent purchase. I was looking for a colorful Halzan mini for the longest time (as per the comments above, I assume chances will be low to find one until next year when production will be stopped) as well as a striking large Halzan, the latter preferably in green, blue or red. Stumbled upon a large Rose Extreme Halzan on Monday and received it this morning. The colour is beautiful (I only saw it on smaller bags and SLGs some time ago and RE always appealed to me somehow) but I wonder if it would be better suited for a Halzan Mini as it is quite loud. I can surely wear pop colours as most of my wardrobe consists of neutrals (as well as few primary colours), but my collection is “supposed“ to stay small in order to rotate through what I have as much as possible. I went through some older threads with a certain consensus of people preferring Rose Extreme for smaller bags and I see where this comes from.
I would only wear it during my free time but 1. don’t want to get tired of the colour quickly, 2. don’t want my bag to distract from what I am wearing but rather nicely complement my outfits and 3. I also don’t want to attract too much attention. So far I only have a BE Mini which I am happy with so this would be my first large Halzan.
Any objective (or even subjective) thoughts are welcome. Thanks in advance!

Two weeks “new”, my first Halzan, in Gris Etain GHW. I’m not usually a gold HW person but the SA brought it out brand new in sealed box. She insisted that this gold+gray is a very sought after combination.
I used to think it is so impractical until I tried it out, then I realized it’s a rare ”function and style in one” purse!

Gorgeous! I had a bear of a time trying to find ghw - and in my neck of the woods I just believe it's ordered / pushed / desired less.
Lovely bag!
Thank you! It does have a certain elegance that silver HW doesn’t have. It’s such a workhorse. The SA cringed when I said I want to stuff my iPad in it.
