For years, I carried my black 30cm lindy and found it to be a wonderful travel bag as well as a great daily bag. I am typically a hand held bag kind of girl but this one was also so easy to sling on the shoulder and oh so comfy too! I stopped using it because i need to send it to the spa since the glazing on handles has become a bit sticky. I think it is a chic, practical bag. Good luck deciding!
