Hi, I'm a petite 5'1 and have a PM. I think the PM overwhelms me and wish H made a size between PM and TPM. Here's a pic with my PM and a Maxi twilly scarf as the strap. Forgot to answer your question, I think you should probably avoid the GM.

Hello thank you for sharing your photo. What color is your PM? It’s so beautiful . I’m the same height as you and am also contemplating the PM size. Do you find this size not practical at all? I haven’t had the chance to try it on irl. Would love to hear your perspective. TIA!
 
Hi!
I would greatly appreciate your help in choosing my first Evelyne.

I'm choosing between an orange GM or a red PM.

I'm 5'2 for reference.

I don't want the bag to overwhelm me, but I'm not sure which size is more appropriate.

Thanks in advance!

In terms of color, is the orange more prefferable to the red?
I want a pop of color.

I definitely agree with the others, between the GM and the PM, the PM is the size to go for. I'm in the same height range and would not want larger than a PM. I don't necessarily shy away from bigger bags as I have a B35. However, for something crossbody or a shoulder bag, I would avoid a larger size. As far as colour, that's entirely up to you. I have a rouge garrance PM, but I could easily get a whole rainbow if my lifestyle and bank account allowed. The Evie is such a great style you can't go wrong with a pop of colour or neutral.

Hi! My Evie is in Malachite. For me, I don't find this bag practical and unfortunately she spends much of her time in my closet. That's just my opinion. If I were 3-4" inches taller I think I would use her more. It's partially the strap, the Evie strap is too long even on the shortest setting. I should take the strap in and at least ask for it to be shortened. Don't get me wrong I love crossbody bags and most of my bags are at least crossbody able ;). It's a beautiful bag and color but I just like it on taller people.

I don’t think it overwhelms you at all! It looks great! And such a beautiful color.
 
That’s exactly the purse I bought about a month ago. I was shocked to see it on H.com! You will
LOVE it! It is a very classy and elegant combo!

Regarding inserts, I’ve tried Samorga and 7 Rue Paradis. I actually prefer the 7 Rue insert. It seems to fit better in the bag and works better for the things I carry. There are some other options I believe on Etsy as well. Instagram has some too I think. Can’t wait to see pix of you with your fabulous new bag!

Thank you for the suggestions for inserts!

Finally got my lovely Evie today! She is just wonderful! :heart: I can't wait to take her out on town when quarantine times are over.

Tried dressing her up with a Burberry twilly and a scarf as a strap. Looking forward to buying her many "outfits" from H.

Hi everyone,

Firstly, I just want to say how much I enjoy this forum, I love seeing your Evelyne bags, especially in this time where distraction is so welcome.

I just want to ask, does anyone know the retail price for the Evelyne TPM in the UK? (GDP). I love my PM clemence etoupe but I would love to one day get a smaller one for errands etc in a darker colour, perhaps a navy blue or black.

Thanks guys!

They are the cutest bags and I like looking at them too, but the one I have doesn’t look good on me, it’s a style that doesn’t go with me, sadly. Again, I’m drawn to their looks, nevertheless.

Can someone with a gm model it with a short shoulder strap? I have the pm size and love it as a shoulder bag (as a crossbody it hits too low) and I’m interested to see how the gm would function as a shoulder bag especially on a petite frame. Thanks!
