Thank you! I’m definitely loving this size. It’s just so super lightweight and discreet at the same time. Still holding out for a pastel, pink or neutral though
hi, which part of US? I’m in east coast and I got 3 TPM now my SA always have the black with gold but I don’t like it. Sure they always have in the store my other SA just called me yesterday and she was able to get me the gold one with limited strap. I’ll pick it up on Monday but pay it yesterday already to make sure. You need to find a good SA otherwise they will always tell you none.Thank you! I’m definitely loving this size.

Hello everyone, hope you’re all well and in good health 
. This is my first time posting on this thread, although I’ve been reading your posts for years!
I’d love to add an Evelyne (PM or GM) to my collection and my SA knew I loved Bleu Frida and it was number 1 color on my wish list. She called me today as they had one GM in this colour, I’ve been trying it but just wanted to give it a second thought, as she showed me also a PM in Feu and I also loved it to pieces! So I would love to hear your thoughts, as the true experts. My wardrobe is pretty simple: blacks, greys, beiges. I have a Gold B30 and an Étoupe Bolide 31. So I would love an Evelyne in a bright color, to bring that twist to my everyday routine. I am petite, 1m 60 cm... so what should I do? Should I take the GM in Bleu Frida (that I really love and it might be harder to find if I pass my turn now), or PM in Feu (new to my wishlist since I saw it today)? Sharing some modelling pics from the GM. My bad that I didn’t take any pics with the Feu PM
. Thanks in advanced for your advice!

. Thanks in advanced for your advice!I just exchanged an Evelyne GM for PM. I found the GM too heavy when I put my daily "essentials" in. Felt it in my shoulder as soon I put on the strap. The 29 was much better and roomy enough for everything, including even an ipad.
You’re right, thanks so much! Weight is something I should consider too... I find it lighter than my Birkin or my Bolide, maybe thanks to the wide strap... I don’t usually charge my bags a lot but weight should be a key factor on my final decision...
Just wondering about the colour, as I think Bleu Frida will combine better with all my wardrobe. Decisions decisions!

I like Bleu Frida more than feu, but GM looks really quite big on you. I would also go for the TPM.
Thank you so much for your advice . They had the PM in Feu, Étoupe and Noir. Which one would you go for?

I would wait for a pm in Bleu Frida. It is a color you love. Ask your sa, if she/he can get one for you. Or, if you are located in Europe, there is one on the french website. You should be able to order it, they ship within Europe.
Yeah you’re right... Bleu Frida makes my heart sing! I really love it. And on an Evelyne, I feel it’s not such a big compromise as if I picked it on a Kelly / Birkin / Constance. The Evelyne in neutral colors is gorgeous, but I find it a bit too unnoticeable... and I already have Gold, Étoupe and black bags in my collection so I try to not duplicate styles (I have sold most of my bags this year and now I stick to only six, my favourites).
Thank you all for your advice, I’ll try them all again today and make a decision...!

I think the PM in Feu would be proportionally better on your frame technically speaking - unless you like the oversized look. I like the PM for the versatility. Wait for BF in a PM if you are in-love with the colour.
Thank you all very much for your advice, it’s been really helpful regarding the choice of size. I have chosen PM and tried it in all colors available: Feu, Brique, Noir and Étoupe. And it became clear that I should take Étoupe. It was the perfect match to the clothes I was wearing (that I put on on purpose, as they represent my wardrobe better than the black coat I was wearing yesterday). Beige coat, grey sweater and black pants. So I have come home with Étoupe PM, and I’m sure I will wear it a lot! Even more than Bleu Frida (which my SA will hold for me in TPM or Lindy Mini, if it ever shows up).
Thanks again, here she is

Putting everything in it is a bit of a tight fit, but I have been downsizing in general.
I tried a Double Sens 36 when I exchanged the Evie (they didn't have a 45 to try). It wasn't much roomier than Evie 29. I know the DS is a little longer but it didn't feel like I would be gaining much and would essentially have two bags with the same amount of room in them. I have days where I just need a big tote bag like my large Le Pliage, so the DS 45 should be good. The SA said he might be able to get one in etain/gold, which I think will be a beautiful combination. Fingers crossed he can get it. I'll make sure to bring everything I'd put in it to try it out to see how heavy it would be.
