Neverfull GM & Plus Size Girls?

[Makenzi]

I am considering purchasing a Neverfull GM, but I have larger arms, are there any girls here that are plus size that have this bag? If so how is the strap size for you? Does anyone who has larger arms have a picture of your bag on your shoulder? Any help would be much appreciated!

I just thought I post the link to the Neverfull Club in the clubhouse (lots of pics there) http://forum.purseblog.com/louis-vuitton-clubhouse/neverfull-club-134810.html

Thanks so much for that! I appreciate it!

As a big girl, I just have to weigh in (no pun intended - lol). I decided that while I am somewhat limited to designer clothes (being a size 18), I refuse to let myself be limited on purses. I buy what I like and don't worry about it. I tend to gravitate towards bigger bags anyway cause I haul around a lot of stuff, but don't stress over bags when it comes to your size - we are limited enough.

Rock what you like with pride! You're gorgeous!

i think i am more worried about if the strap is going to fit on my shoulder. I am thinking i really want the MM but I am not sure if it will fit.

I cannot fit the pm on my arms I do not know about the other sizes.

IIRC the gm fit me but it didn't look that great because both me and hubby felt the straps were too thin looking...it kind of emphasized me being plus sized if you know what i mean.. the size of gm itself is great only thing that bothered me was the thinness of the straps...

See this is exactly what I am afraid of. I have to be able to put it on my shoulder.

I have just ordered the Neverfull in MM. I am not a plus size, but I am 6'2" and have problems with many of the LV shoulder bags being able to fit on my shoulder. I haven't received my bag as yet, but can let you know how it goes when it arrives (hopefully tomorrow).

I am medium height (5"6) and athletic build (+130 lbs) and it just barely fit over my shoulder with a winter coat. It was a tight fit but I could get away with it. I wished the straps were 2" longer and it would be perfect. If you're not wearing a winter coat, it may work. It is too bad you can't test it out at a nearby boutique. Maybe call Louis Vuitton and ask them the same question. Good luck!

I have done that but with no help there. They just tell me how long they are and etc.

I def. have larger arms, like if I measure like where the strap sit (under my arm pit and around to my shoulder) its like 21" which is why I am so afraid this isnt going to fit. I dont have a store near me to go in and try one on. UGH! I dont know what to do.

That's too bad Makenzi. I have a feeling it will be a tight fit if I am complaining about the shortness of the Neverfull GM straps. I remember complaining to the SA before buying the Neverfull but I tried my best to make it work. It still find it too short. My Batignolles straps are longer but the handbags (the Horizontal and Vertical) are smaller.

i think the MM would fit over your shoulders, the only problem might be with a coat- and this usually doesn't even have to do with your own size but more just how the handles are designed. Even if you are very petite some bags just don't fit well with coats, etc. I also don't think there's too huge of a difference in the handle length between the GM and MM ( i had both ) so if you want to MM just go for it.

I think NF in GM looks like a beach bag

I think the MM and the GM shoulder strap size is the same in both, I could be wrong but I have tried both on and don't like bags to sit under my arm or be uncomfy- I have the gm, but I have to say , the shoulder straps could stand to be a little longer but it still works.
