Large Cagole shoulder bag. I was hoping fervently to hate it so I can return it, but I love it. Loud, obnoxious and massive. Size is more like the Work. It dwarfs the Neo Classic. Can fit a ton, which I require for daily use.
I have a love/hate with Cagole, depends on which one... is it heavy? I like it better large I think.
This is my favorite iteration of the OG Le Cagole bags. I saw one in a silvery/pewter one once on TRR and I'm still kicking myself for not snagging it.
+1 on wondering on how heavy it is or not. I had a Cagole Bucket that wasn't too bad, but I didn't care for the lack of a handheld strap. This one looks like it would sit on the shoulder nicely.
Love/hate is exactly how I feel about them too. And in the moments of love, I hate myself for loving it.
Definitely heavier than our regular Cities/Works. Has the capacity of Work, but with a shoulder strap which makes it easier to carry. I was drawn to this one for its massive size. They're hard to find, most of these are in medium size. I'm happy to see that a laptop and documents fit easily, as I couldn’t be sure.
I agree, this one's my favorite too. I like some of the XS and Small ones too, but they're too small to be of much use. It's a shame because the XS comes in the best variety of colors and finishes. There is a stunning metallic dark purple in the XS which I would not be able to resist if it were larger. But given how only the super small ones have cute colors, and meanwhile cost an arm and a leg, I can't justify those.
I spent a long, long time looking for this large one (again, they're hard to find), and I finally found one at Saks at a flukey low price (like, what were they thinking???), so I took the bait, and glad I did.
She’s certainly a big blingy gal!
The comparison shots are extremely helpful in unmasking this workhorse - thank you for that! What size laptop are you packing in there?
Currently working on trying to change from RH Firsts / Cities to my beloved Giant 21s. This weight-lifting Bal diva is much needed inspo!
EDIT: Just saw the modeling pic. LOVELY! 😍
My laptop is about 12" x 9". the pink binder in there is about 12.5" x 9.5". They both fit with plenty of room to spare.She’s certainly a big blingy gal!

Congrats, dear!
You really don't see the large Cagole a lot. Had the medium when it first launched and liked the bag, but ended up returning it. Something just felt wrong to me about it. The medium was heavy already, so I can only imagine the weight of this one, lol. You should start chugging those protein shakes, haha.
I kinda do love the punk chic. Damn it! Thank goodness the color choices are so limited and they usually cost a fortune...
I wouldn't be safe otherwise.
