I was scared away from this bag by seeing that fully opened it's 19 inches. Too much handbag for me!
I also love the style but like you it is way too much bag for me as well. I am into much smaller bags these days. When I was still working and traveling all the time I loved big bags as I was carrying so much stuff. Now that I am no longer working and living near the beach I find I need less stuff. I have downsized to smaller bags. Got rid of both my midi Minerva's. Given away a couple of midi Soulmates. Although the midi Soulmate and midi Selene are still two of my favorite styles. I still have 3 of each of those styles. I have lots of Zhoe's and some Aura's and Daphne and Angelica's. I am also super excited to get a Little Tulipano but I was hoping it was smaller than the photos posted by HPG. Based on the measurements I assumed it was smaller than it looks. Next bag I am planning to get is a Little Muse.

I was also ready to love the Little Tulipano but it is too large for my lifestyle. Even my regular sized Zhoe is not getting a lot of use as it is too big for me. I carry a laptop bag for work and anything huge like a sunglasses case fits in there. No need for a big bag. Little Muse is just perfect for my needs. That said I still want a Siena in black vacchetta at some point to replace my laptop bag as I don’t travel much anymore.
