I bought it with the intention of wearing it on my shoulder because I have two Twiggys and one City that I carry as satchels.susan-eric said:Very nice! Will you be wearing it on your shoulder, as in the photo do you think? (I ask because I have one in gray and I think it's a little tight that way for my taste). Pnay--or anyone--Is the balenciaga olive a darker olive or a lighter one? It's difficult to tell from the atelier swatches...
The SA told me that with wear the leather handles will soften and it will "drop" a little. I don't find it too tight. I was even able to put it on my shoulder with my coat on. I did take a pic of it holding it like a satchel. Here it is to give you an idea of how it looks carried as a satchel.varsha624 said:what's the measurement of the drop on this bag, btw, does anyone know? Is it only a shoulder bag for those with very skinny arms?
I'm not sure what the pumpkin orange color looked like. I will look it up and let you know. I will tell you this .... I was told it would be an orangy-red. However, I personally did not see any red in it. To me it was definitely a rust or burnt orange color. It was very pretty but I would not say it was in the red family. It was in the orange family.smallfry said:Kat...its beautiful and the leather looks perfect! Congratulations!
Can you please describe the rust...was it like the pumpkin orange color from 2004?
Thanks

I love it as a shoulder bag. It is really not that big. I'm petite (5'1"). Most bags tend to look larger on me. :shame:BalenciagaLove said:Kat - It's lovely! I have yet to see a purse in rl. How do you like it? It definitely looks bigger than I thought it would be!
