I just weighed my Modena. 740 grams :smile:

No one’s asking me, I know, but I’m probably the most anti-nylon person around since I don’t have a single nylon bag. I didn’t like nylon even when Prada nylon was all the rage. My choice when I need to schwlep a lot is canvas or cloth. Hmmm... I think I finally understand why I never bought a Le Pliage bag. I like the Néo material though.
my schlep around bag is a Landsend Canvas Tote. Sturdy but quite heavy.

[emoji4] haha. That’s ok. [emoji4] I guess no one really specifically ask me. Just chiming in opinion. [emoji4] I’m generally a leather and canvas girl, too. [emoji4] (I love myself heavy canvas bags. I find them very charming.) I wasn’t a fan of Kipling until my mom converts me years ago. I find them useful when I’m on trips, but I don’t really wear them on a day to day basis. [emoji848] She’s also the one who got me the LP crossbody. I don’t even know the name of the style and it’s the only LC that I have so far. [emoji4] But I like the whimsical prints from Le sport sac. I just think in HBG’s case, with her younger kid, stuff she has to tote around, and the way she maybe toting them, nylon maybe more suitable for her. [emoji4]

I realize I have a le pillage , a cute little purple one, in my car, filled with stuff to handle ‘if a kid pukes all over the backseat’ situations.
Of course I made this bag all up after such an event happened and I had nothing in the car to clean up, and it was a nightmare.
Has a kid puked in the 2 years since then? No.

I also have an adorable n/s Kipling hello kitty print tote in nylon that I used as my beach bag last year. But it’s crossbody strap broke off. HOweve,r the attachments are good, and I can put a different strap on it. I think I’ll use that for NOT going to the beach next summer, or then the le pliage if I can get attachments put on a the cobblers so I can put a strap on it. And then the jujube Super Be for sixty dollars, which is a giant 300 gram machine washable antimicrobial teflon treated bag with thinsulated water bottle compartments in the front. I have a great jujube backpack that is so great, but I really need different wearing options. I think when my kids are older and never need to be worn on my back, I can sometimes use my backpack. And not worry about lugging it around by hand if a kid is sleeping on my back in the carrier.

Okay so that issue is solved. THe Kipling hello kitty bag and this le pliage with added crossbody strap (my cobbler only charged me ten euros for fixing torn strap and adding the rings for this strap. Yay!).
Whew, I was almost going to buy a Modena or something similarly expensive for a summer carefree bag! Now I’m using my noggin and not stretching my creativity for more excuses for more MM bags.
Then again, I just arranged a trade on the MM BST in the last 24 hours for a lightweight midnight tuscania tote in exchange for a bag of mine that was too big and heavy, so ..... maybe I AM hopeless~!
 
Here are pics of mine with 13" laptop inside. The last 2 photos have the laptop with its neoprene case. There are plenty of space remaining inside, sorry forgot to take a photo to show that. Depth is still great even with the laptop in there. And sorry for the poor pic quality because it's night time here. As you may see in the last picture, there is no slouch at the top because the laptop is just right below the top zipper.

No issue on space I think. But the bag could definitely get heavy with all stuff you might put in.
Super helpful, thank you! Thats a beautiful bag too!

Di, normally I can take a central compartment or leave it. But on the Minervas especially, it is just making me crazy. I have a Rust Vachetta Minerva Midi and that leather is LUSH but I don't reach for it as much as I should because when I put the bag down on a desk, it falls over. Same with my Dark Teal Pebbled in full size. I love the Soulmate Midi a lot but I do find the entrance to the bag can be a little narrow. This is not an issue on my Sauro Tan bag (stiffer leather makes the opening stand open a bit more and no central compartment) but with how squishy the Port Merinos is, it can be annoying. Boy, when I took that bag out today was I reminded how much I adore this leather! I started stroking it and dreaming of a Calista in it...when I'm trying my utmost best to rehome about 10 bags because I have space issues. I need a slap.
Which MM bags are you trying to rehome?

Yeap. Been there.

That’s too pretty a pliage to be sitting in your boot for two years. Glad she is being put to work now with some nice new upgrades!

I am also the most anti-nylon person as well. I do not have a single nylon bag. I was gifted a Prada nylon bag and I gave it away. I am into canvas or cloth as well for carrying stuff. So I really get it when you say nylon is not for you!!

What a great color! Looks like a perfect choice for your summer haul-everything bag.
I’m hopeless too, by the way. It’s starting to extend to my newest wishlist for LP cuir - with the perforation monogramming.
