Just to share my shopping experience earlier.. sorry for my long posting below
I went to boutique earlier to try out the denim OTG and neverfull ,even bought my laptop along to test out if OTG denim can hold it but it is very tight fit even without laptop sleeve. Though I prefer OTG style but neverfull seem to fit my requirement better and for once I think it does not look overwhelming on me and I really like the color and print , esp the silver hardware that I really craved in. The leather straps are also comfortable to carry over shoulder. Bought the neverfull as that is the only piece and new in boutique but it will be delivered to me as I was rushing off to my gym.
The material is much thicker from what i expected and material quite close to recent collection to Chanel 22B Deauville denim like material. As it is fabric material, it is not overly structure, feel much lighter too. I did not get the chance to view the blue denim from earlier collection but I think the material should be similar.

As for side trunk, I tried both monogram and black leather version. Both are about same weight but leather one feels more softer and tends to slouch more. Somehow the monogram version seems so so on me and my heart does not sing towards it. Just have to take note the shape does not seem to slouch much at the top middle as the material is canvas , hence the shape seem more boxy.
I seen the denim version that other client received and trying out. That is very pretty too. I will opt for black leather version , edgy yet subtle look and the silver hardware really go well.. However, I yet to pull the plug to pay the deposit as am thinking hard if I should try to get it during my upcoming holidays overseas. I am told by my SA that waiting time might be a month plus or more after i paid the deposit. Sharing the pics below.
