I don't think you should attach your red Selma shoulder strap to your scarlet Miranda bag. It may damage/scratch the bag. You might consider exchanging your small Miranda tote for the newer Miranda satchel if you're looking for the shoulder carry option. The only Miranda tote that can really be carried on the shoulder like a tote is the large size.

No not at all, the only thing is when you close it you will need to use two hands. Here is my video on it. Hope it is helpful to you.

I looked at the Miranda tote and watched video's on it. So glad I found this new Miranda Satchel because I love an addition strap and a zipper closure. I think I would be concerned of any damage to the bag also. Maybe ask others who have the tote of their opinion.
OMG, awesome video! Thanks for sharing. I do see so many updates and improvements from the Miranda tote with this new Miranda satchel that would appeal to many. What a gorgeous bag in the dune color! The inside zipper compartment, outside back slip pocket, shoulder strap, and zipper closure are all great additions.
I don't think it will work for me, though.
I'm not in the market right now to add anymore satchels to my collection. I like bags without compartments that can accommodate my purse organizer. I also don't like a lot of moving parts (i.e., zippers, shoulder straps, and hardware) on my soft leather bags. I just think with that much going on there is a greater chance of damage or scratching against the soft leather. But this is such a gorgeous bag and will work better than the Miranda tote for many.OMG, awesome video! Thanks for sharing.

Gorgeous bag! I love your videos on youtube! Always cool to meet a fellow North Carolian into bags!
I've seen the large Miranda satchel in person and own a large Miranda tote. The sizing between the two is pretty close. I think the satchel is slightly narrower in depth (6 inches for the satchel instead of 7 inches for the tote) and has a shorter handle drop (6 inches for the satchel instead of 8 inches for the tote).
The soft calfskin leather of the Miranda is definitely more delicate than saffiano leather. You need to take extra special care to keep it clean (especially lighter colors) and conditioned/moisturized. It is prone to scratches, but conditioner/moisturizer can get out light scratches. Deep scratches need to be repaired at a leather goods shop. You should also treat it occasionally with rain/stain repellent.
I have a colorblock Miranda tote with ivory sides and have not yet had any problems keeping it clean. However, I did use stain/rain repellent on the entire bag, inside and out, before carrying it for the first time. My biggest fear is a pen mark or something permanent getting on there, so I make sure to keep the bag close to my person when carrying it (i.e., on my shoulder under my arm or close to my body when carrying it on my forearm or in my hand).
At 5 foot tall, I think the large will be too big for you, unless you prefer carrying large bags. I'm 5 foot 11 inches tall, so the large looks like a normal sized tote on me. I've never seen the extra small tote version in person, so can't comment on that size. However, I do know that the extra small tote has an adjustable, detachable shoulder strap, just like the large satchel.
Love you ubo22 in taking the time to answer any questions!!!! Thank you and the information is very helpful!!!!
I just recently purchased a preloved large black quilted gusset Miranda tote with silver hardware (very hard to find) to go with my large shell/suntan colorblock Miranda tote. The colorblock is for spring/summer and the black quilted is for year-round. Love them both!
