You totally rock it! And, I love that you can be hands-free and secure.
Alrighty... I totally forgot that I said I would post photos with a single flap in jumbo size! But as I roam around in my PJ I quickly change into a shirt and jeans to snap some photos
A promise is a promise!
Here we go - single flap jumbo lambskin - for those who knows it - the like-a-chevron bag.
So... I definitely know that with a smaller size bag it would probably look better, but seriously, I tried on the Gabriel bag. The larger bags would have similar visual issue (to me at least) that said it looked easier on the eyes because it's bucket style so more of a "north/south" vs. the jumbo which is "east/west". However, I think for some body proportions, it really isn't that bad in person. I think how long or short your torso is, height and frame would make it slightly less or more appealing. I think this is purely a trend thing.
Honestly, I think regardless of Gabriel or this or any other bag, the way to carry it like this is ok/fun/novelty now but not a true practical frequent thing because pulling it over your head for on/off is a bit silly. However, from now on, if I want to distribute the weight on a jumbo and still hands free comfortably, I know there's another option and it looks fun with the right outfit (like i'm not going to put on a Chanel tweed suit with heels and put my bag on me like this from a comfort/does it feel awkward perspective: at least for me, it felt totally comfortable. Another plus is that it's quite "secure" as the straps don't slip off my shoulders when carried this way.
Well this was fun... a little Chanel experiment
