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!

Makenzi-Just a suggestion...have you looked at the Palermo GM? It is a similar style to the NF, but with adjustable shoulder straps, which I think might fit the bill. JMHO, but I would look at that style & see if it will work for you. Best of luck!
 
I don't have large arms, but you might have a hard time fitting it on your shoulder comfortably with a coat on. Have you considered the Palermo GM or Odeon GM? They are very pretty and have nice long straps. I tried on both today and the Palermo is FAB! Good luck :smile:
 
Try a batignolles horizontal. Same kind of look, but very pretty and comfortable straps that fit over anything for anyone. I actually think it's a much prettier bag. I have one and all three of my daughters in college each have one. It's a wonderful bag. So pretty. Looks gorgeous after years of wear and the leather on the straps is so much prettier. I bought mine before I lost all my weight and it was perfect. I still love it now that I'm 105 too. When I was really heavy, the balance of strap length and size was just right. I still love it and use it all the time.
 
Decided I wanted a Neverfull last year and same quandry SO I do have a boutique near me and went and tried them on. I wanted the meduim at first but no way was it a comfortable fit..I knew I could only buy the GM if anything so I tried it on. Loved the look actually of the huge bag but the straps were a bit of a problem-OK with just a shirt-maybe a tad tight but manageable-would never have worked with a coat. I am plus sized (14 sometimes 16 and my upper body is larger than my bottom (shoulders, chest etc.) I left without the bag and still long for it but it would be something I regretted (like the to die for jeans that were just a tad to smal that I vowed I would make work and never could)
Do not get one without trying it first.
Can't you order from Vuitton.com and have a return policy?
 
Im plus size (14), and ive tried on both Neverfull MM & GM, and Totally MM & GM. both bags in both sizes didnt fit right on my arms. Like it fit, but there wasnt alot of room, and the straps were too thin it was uncomfortable.

I suggest you take a look at the Galliera PM or GM. They both are sooo comfy. I opted for the GM not just because im plus size, but because i haul alotta crap around haha. I love my galliera.

this isnt the greatest picture, but it might give you an idea as to how the Galliera GM sits :smile:

I can second the recommendation of the BH - I have it and love it, super comfortable.
 
I'm plus size as well and judging by the proportions of the straps of the NF GM, I think it would be too snug on me too. I need at least a 12-13" drop to be comfortable with it under my arm. That's why I'm eyeing the Stresa.... hoping I can get myself to the LV store in NYC this weekend to try it out. The straps looks super long on the Stresa.
 
I don't have a problem fitting the PM over my shoulder with or without a coat, which is supposedly the smallest length in terms of drop. The GM should go okay for you!
 
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! :flowers: You're gorgeous!

Love your attitude-Thanks for sharing the Love!
 
I looked at neverfulls in Puerto Rico in March and knew I couldn't get a PM. THe MM still seemed small to me as well. I think I liked the GM but now that people mentioned the thin straps I can't recall how it looked on. Because then I saw a Tate GM and wanted to buy that instead.
