Hi everyone-
I am looking for an "everyday" bag - one that can act as a "stand in" on days that I don't have time or inclination to change my bag to coordinate with my outfit. I could use any suggestions!
How roomy is the smaller MIA? I have the dimensions, but that is usually only part of the picture. I had been carrying a LV Damier Alma and loved it, but wanted a change. It was also just a tad too small at times. This summer I have been carrying an Acorn Venetia but I find it is not "deep" enough from front to back, which necessitates stacking all my things on one another thus making it difficult to find anything in a hurry. I also like to keep my cell phone in its own place so I don't have to dig for it every time it rings. The Venetia has the front pockets, but they aren't deep either so I usually end up keeping the pocket with the phone in it open and I fear one of these days it will fall out!
The last few weeks I have been carrying the larger Guineviere, but it feels like a suitcase. Don't get me wrong, I love the bag, but I am only 5'4" and I feel like I'm playing dress up with my mommy's clothes. I need an inside large pocket for receipts, lists, prescriptions, etc. so I don't put the phone there and it is ALWAYS lost!
I have always liked the looks of the MIA and have been looking at both the large and small. The large appears to be more the size of my current "Guin", so I have ruled that out. Those of you with the smaller MIA - how many pockets are there, and is there enough room inside that your things are not totally stacked on each other? Is the small zip pocket in front large enough for a small flip phone, and is that the only outside pocket?
I am thinking about the color Nutmeg...
Thanks!
