For those of you with the Mercer 30, can you wear it as a satchel, with your arm through the short satchel straps? (If that makes sense)

I picked up the Mercer 24 yesterday because it came into my local outlet, and because I can't find the 30 anywhere except Macy's (and I don't want to drop $270 on it at Macy's). Anyway, the 24 is definitely small, which I knew thanks to you all. It's really fine for me to wear crossbody, but not at all comfortable to wear as a satchel on my arm. I mean my arm fits so I could technically do it, but not much room at all. I'm wondering how the 30 is for arm carry? (Size wise I think I will able to fit everything I want - it seems it will fit everything that my tea rose saddle bag 23 holds, which has been my go to lately. I don't carry much but a small wallet and wristlet, phone, keys and sunglasses.)

It fits, but it's uncomfortable to wear that way - the bag would be all up in your armpit and it's already bulky so when it has stuff inside it'll be even wider.

Whoops, I totally didn't explain myself well at all. Sorry! I meant carrying it in the crook of your arm, like by your elbow. Not up on the shoulder. Yes, that would definitely be all up in your armpit. I don't think I could do that. haha. :)

I'm sometimes carry it that way (crook of my arm) and it fits fine. If you are around a store/outlet, check to see if they have any Mercer 30 and test it out. There was a Flax colored one (and hot pink) Mercer 30 in the sale so they may end up at the Outlet and you can test those out.

THANKS! Unfortunately my outlet didn't have any 30's at all, but I'll keep checking in with them. I'm thinking I may just keep the 24 and save myself all the hassle.

Oh sorry, I misunderstood. Yes it fits as a crook of the arm bag, maybe less so if you're wearing a thick winter coat. Can be used as an armpit bag if you have on short sleeves [emoji23]
