Oh I have an update to share. I ended up returning my bandit. ☹️ I had some issues I thought I was able to work through (like how I can’t just take off the one strap to dig in my bag and not find anything Bc it was swimming at the bottom or in between the pocket in the little bag). I checked my stitching on the inside of the main bag and like @Raech’s had some stitching issues, though not as bad as hers. When I asked an SA about it, we kinda looked through all the bandits on display and they all looked wonky in one place or another. I was kind of turned off by this so I returned it. If they can fix the issue I might reconsider it, but given that it’s not as popular as say the Rogue, I don’t know how I feel about it. Especially since I paid full price for it which I rarely ever do.

That’s a bummer. It’s good that they let you return it.

I'm sorry you had issues too. It seriously turned me off to it as well. And I couldn't get in it like I wanted. Where Rogue I can wear a crossbody strap and no issues.

Thanks guys [emoji4] I really love the color way. I really wished it had worked out. It was so pretty, just not as practical as I thought. I was eyeing the dinky and the Rogue 25 in it. $1k feels like too much for me for the 25 and I don’t need another Dinky.

Do I get a JM for returning a bag?

Sorry to hear this. I tended to see thisq bag as one of those dark pits where you can't find anything. Glad you had the credit!

Bummer. Hope you find something pretty and functional! I don't know how y'all carry shoulder bags without being lopsided. I tried on shoulder bags and they just fall off my shoulder unless I raise the shoulder to keep the bag in place or keep my arm guarding it from falling off. Also the bandit has a narrow opening. I thought I saw someone post that it was narrower than the Edie?

The whole top opens. But the bandit inside and it being that close to your arm (unless you are really short - I'm not)... Makes it hard to get in.

That might have been me. It’s pretty hard to get into when you have it on. I would have to take it off my shoulder which it would surprisingly stay on, and dig in. My most sought after items like wallet and keys stayed in the smaller bag, but it’s not an easy bag to get into.

And we are twins on height haha my whole arm could fit in the bag while I had it on. I’m sad that it didn’t work out but that just means more funds for the next purchase haha kidding [emoji16]

You aren't kidding [emoji6] and I thought the same thing when I returned.
