I just sold two bags and the question popped into my mind. Am I the only one who has done a 180 in the style of bags that appeal to me? Two years ago i was all into soft, slouchy big bags, like the merinos Selene midi. Now I seem to selling those and going for the smaller structured bags, like the Little Tulipano in vacchetta and the Little Miss M in pompei???

No you are not the only one who has changed styles. I have 6 midi Soulmates and 4 midi Selenes. I gave away and sold all but one midi Soulmate and I have 2 midi Selenes left out of the 4 I started with. I must say I still love the midi Selenes and really like the peachy pink Soulmate that I have left. Having said that I have gone to smaller structured bags - Zhoe all sizes, Mia, Little Tulipano's, Little Muse and recently the Little Diana. I do like the midi Juliet as well. I have definitely gone to smaller and more structured bags. I think when I was working full time and taking stuff to the office and customer visits I found larger bags were better. Now that I am semi retired and only work from home part time I need smaller bags and prefer them.

I might change styles for a while, then decide to change back when tired of the "new" style. Face if, if you are active on TPF you probably have a bit if purse ADD as well. I don't like to get rid of bags unless I'm positive they won't be worn again because they have major deal breakers. Too many times have I taken a bag out to sell and fallen in love with it again. That said, I do really need to purge some of my duplicates.

I fear I am never "positive" about any bag. What sounds good and looks good on Monday may have lost its luster on Friday, lol

I’ve shifted but mainly due to logistics. I used to exclusively like medium-sized handheld structured bags. I have a two year old and need to be hands-free for toddler wrangling, so I’ve transitioned more to crossbody bags and mini backpacks for now. Still love the lady-like quality of a structured handbag though!

My last white box (for now, I'm sure) came today! It contained a black nappa Miss M with marine lining and light gunmetal hardware, a scarlet metallic Midi Penelope, and a purple pebbled Calista with sage lining. And you all were right, I love the Calista and the leather.

Everything is so lovely and glad it all worked out with your Calista!!! I also love how pebbled wears over time, it gets soft and comfy...
I don't own a Miss M, sorry i can't help you with any advice on the straps...
