Why? What's wrong with its size? I've been looking for a small tote for a while also. Hard w/o seeing one in person. I'm afraid the large tote would be too large for me and my needs; but worried that small tote isn't maybe deep enough, so it'll be easy to see stuff inside since there's no closure at all.
I think for a petite person, it would be fine. It did not fit comfortably under my arm. I liked the size of the bag itself though. I love my larges though! I either use a zipped bag organizer or throw a pretty scarf over my stuff so you can't see directly into the bag.
