For anyone on the fence about the Parker top handle, here are a couple pics of the tan/black signature. I had thought the top handle would work better for me than the normal Parker because it doesn't have the center compartment in the way, and I like to satchel carry. Unfortunately like the other Parker everything is just too tight, and I don't even carry much. I use fairly small bags.

I like the opening in the main compartment, but if you have that remotely full, all of the other pockets are too tight to use. They really need to figure out how to make this bag a bit more flexible, imo. I am returning it--I didn't even fully try it out--I could tell I would be fighting the size/small pockets.

Plus I don't like the strap as you can't make it short enough to work with satchel carrying. It would drop down too far under the bag. I just took a couple of quick pics before packing it back up. It is a pretty bag, but I don't love it.

I think it is adorable too, but I also like the blue and pink versions of the frame bag. I'm still so sad I missed out on the Dumbo barrel bag.

The Dumbo barrel bag is online at Nordstrom right now. I don't visit that site so not sure if it's just listed or if it's been there.

Have you thought about putting something stiff on the bottom? I simply cut some cardboard and tape several layers together into the shape of the bottom of the bag. You can use any stiff material that you can cut into the shape of the bottom. If the visual bothers you, then you can also get some pretty fabric and glue it on. I just cut a piece of felt fabric and place it right on top of the stiffener that I made. And that will take care of the sag.

I use heavy cardboard too and cover it with laminate. I use bag inserts so I can't see the cardboard. Good idea about covering it with felt or cloth.
