Took the limousine out today and I'm so pleased with it. It is the perfect 'small' bag for a day/night out when I'm not expecting to carry more than my essentials.
It's mainly a hand carry bag; because of the structure the bag feels a bit awkward carried on the shoulder (feels like an overstuffed gym bag to me), the sides smoosh a bit and one strap kept falling off unless I keep a hand on it. Still, the SA assured me the leather isn't subjected to stress when smooshed (in fact it was designed for this to happen) and I wouldn't wear the bag out even if I did this every day. I don't mind hand carrying the limousine since it's not as roomy as, say my Goyard Artois, which gets very heavy from all the things I can put in it.
Included some shots below of how I usually carry it and shoulder carry (apologies for the bad lighting; they were taken in a fitting room).
I'm amazed by the construction and the quality. The sewing is impeccable; I literally cannot find any faults with it. The outside leather is flexible and sturdy; while the orange lining is luxurious to the touch. The design feels very well thought out; I'm impressed by the small details. There is a piece of leather sewn in at each end that help keep items in the bag secure even when the bag is fully unzipped. When it's unzipped the top kind of folds in, which hid my things from view. It's possible to unzip it with one hand. It's cute how the handles fall across the bag naturally when you set it down.
I managed to fit: a compact wallet, earphones, kindle paperwhite, phone, pen, 300ml water bottle (laid horizontally), scarf, a lipstick, a small pouch with misc things (meds, pocket tissues, lip balm etc). I'm mainly using it as a night out/going to the theatre bag, but it feels like it would hold up really well even with daily use.
