Maybe I should lighten my load and reconsider it.

Great idea! :tup: Reconsider whether you really need to carry all that stuff you think you do in every situation. I bet you don't! Sometimes we just get into the habit of transferring the same stuff from one bag to another for years on end, without thinking about whether it's all really needed on that given day. A lot of stuff I used to carry around 10 yrs ago--full length checkbook wallet and a big paper agenda planner, for instance--are obsolete these days, at least for me.

Here are some interior Mademoiselle pics I posted last year. Easily holds a full-length wallet (which I rarely carry anyway), cosmetic case, mini umbrella, sunglasses, key case, phone, with room to spare.

Sigh. This bag is so gorgeous. Maybe I should lighten my load and reconsider it. I just love the look.

You can do it! I managed to cut down too to use my Amazone size S and Crossbody Madeleine as everyday bags. What @Cosmopolitan says below is true, we just get into a pattern of transferring things from one bag to another without really thinking about what's needed on that day :D

So true! I finally saw the light too :D

Excellent points! I will look carefully at everything I carry and consider what can go. I really do love the look of this bag.
 
My Mademoiselle Hobo Bag - using it with a Cody Cuir Black Nickel strap as the one that came with the bag is too long haha! Still getting used to this size as the face is more slanted and not as vertical as my bigger hobo one with the single strap. @catsinthebag , I think I know what you went through with the flap and lock :D

Interesting that you find the bag more difficult in the smaller size! I actually had to bring mine in to the boutique and have the manager show me how to open it easily! :P I felt pretty silly about it, but now I wonder if the smaller ones are just a little harder to use. I also wish the long strap was adjustable. I’m 5’6 and the strap is an OK length for crossbody wear, but I wouldn’t mind if I could have made it an inch or so shorter.

That said, your bag is beautiful! Love the combination of colors with the contrast stitching!

Congrats SD that’s a very special Mademoiselle you’ve got there! :clap: I hope you love this size and I’m sure you’ll be a whiz at opening the clasp in no time.

Congrats! You're so fast! I have yet to see this in store.
Perhaps since this is in ebony, you can use the strap from your ebony roseau with it?

Thanks so much! For me, I had to bring it in to have the store manager show me how to close it. I thought something was wrong since my vertical face hobo can close quite easily when empty. I think now I’m getting the hang of it - I managed to make it “click” when closing it last night haha
