I am worried the Fontelie bag is too big as a crossbody on those of us who are small. Would love to see it on someone who is 5'3" and average sized (asking for a friend...LOL). I am looking forward to seeing all the bags in person this winter.
After looking at the dimensions, I liken the Fontélie to a Bolide 31. I’m tall, so I’m excited about a bag that doesn’t make me look like I’m carrying my 5’2” daughter’s bag — your friend’s height. :giggle:

I think its size feeds into the casual vibe.

I empathize with petite to average height clients in regards to certain bag sizes, or strap lengths. The Fontélie will probably be (more of) a hand carried bag for you all.

I’m on the opposite end of the spectrum — strap drops are always 3-5” too short for me.

Thank you! Yes, the color is so interesting. It photographs almost purple, but is a deep royal blue bordering on navy in indoor lighting. It’s darker in person than in the pictures on the website and I’m very happy with that!
what a gorgeous colour, good choice Olivia The colour will get a patina with time & become more beautiful !
 
Omg, my Diane got here early! When I tell you the beauty of this bag just gobsmacked me... It is stunning. The color is so rich and the leather feels amazing. The quality is insane. Even my husband said it might be his favorite. View attachment 5742756View attachment 5742757View attachment 5742758

This looks so ol' school in terms of quality, beauty and :drool:

Superb!

It's quite sexy :graucho: in an elegant way :angel:

I am so happy for you, and so jealous too, this would also be my choice. I can't think of anything nicer.

Many, many congratulations!
 
OMG this leather is amazing. Yesterday I did the dumbest thing - didn’t notice I was sporting a blob of body lotion when I was putting the bag away. Of course some got on the front of the bag. I right away dabbed it with a damp cloth and then left it alone.

Today it’s like it never happened. Whew.
