) of the Marelle bags and would recommend it? I'm thinking bout getting one but would be really happy for some opinions first. 
Hi, I used mine today for the first time and I like it even more than I thought I would. 
I wore it for about 5 hours and it was very comfortable to wear, hand-held and crossbody. My hair got caught in the buckle of the strap once when I lifted it over my head, so you might want to consider that that could happen with long hair.
The bag itself fits quite a lot, but the opening is narrower than the base, so I think it cannot really be filled to capacity and still be easy to use. For me this is not an issue as I carry very little anyway.
I went to the city today to see new pre-fall items from Max Mara and felt very comfortable with it, but I felt equally comfortable at a doctor’s appointment, where I put the bag on my lap sideways so that the logos were not springing at people
Inside I put an insert that fits the MPA, so it is narrower in this pic than irl. I carried a zipped coin card holder, my IPhone SE, car key, keys, mask in white tissue, soft glasses case.
I’m 5 7 (172 cm) and I have the strap at medium length. Hope that helps!

You really helped me a lot - thank you!
It's good to know that it's a comfortable bag "for every situation" and it suits you perfectly. The space is also enough to fit all of the things I carry around daily.
Thank you again, I can't wait to own one
PS: I love your outfit!
I love this bag. It’s got everything I like. It’s a simple, clean design that doesn’t have lipsticks or whatnot. It’s also a bit edgy because of the chain.

I’m glad I could help.
Can’t wait for your reveal when you get yours!

I almost brought this bag. Loves, different ways to carry, classic silhouette, not bulky or loud, makes a great everyday bag. Reasons I didn’t go for it, the smaller strap can’t be used for shoulder carry, doesn’t work as a clutch, the dimensions are smaller than an Alma bb (which I bought instead) the softer nature of this epi bag I fear will ripple/warp over time, the large cutout is something I’m on the fence about. I like it a lot, but for my personal needs this just misses the mark. Barely. I have been known to change my mind 
Congratulations! It looks stunning on you! I love that colorHi, I used mine today for the first time and I like it even more than I thought I would.

@23adeline your pictures show the size and capacity perfectly! It looks so gorgeous on you with the denim dress
How do you store yours? Lying on back or standing upright? Do you stuff it?

I’m so happy that LV makes different bags to meet the personal preferences of all of us! For me the shape and dimensions of the Alma do not work. I wish they did because it is such a classic bag and will never go out of style.I almost brought this bag.

To me the Marelle is perfect just as it is, and I almost never say that about a bag
I hope it will not start to ripple/warp too soon, because you are right that it is softer than let’s say the Twist.
