This has never happened to me before! I am thinking of returning my OTG. I'm in a cast on my right foot right and a boot on the left, so I can't drive or walk around much. As a result, I have not worn the bag out of the house since purchasing. It's siting on my dresser and that's it. Every time I think about filling it up to go out to dinner if a friend or husband takes me out, I have this strange feeling of being embarrassed by the HUGE LV's and I use a different bag.

What is wrong with me? I have always liked reverse mono. And I love the red interior. I think I may like this bag as a piece of art more than a useful bag. The only place I can envision myself using the bag is traveling. I'm not sure that's enough for me with this price tag. And I have 2 GM's for travel.

How are y'all enjoying your OTG? I just looked at it again and threw it over my shoulder (empty and in the house) and love the bag, but also think it's a bit obnoxious.

You described my feelings exactly! I have the Khaki so I feel like the big LVs are even more noticeable. I also think it’s gorgeous and stare at it often as it sits in my closet but every time I think about taking it somewhere I feel embarrassed, like everyone will be staring at me.

Oh wow!!! What a wonderful combo-the bags of course, but yoga and horseback riding! I'm a yoga teacher. That is me in my avatar. :smile: I've been teaching for 15 years!
I was much better at the horseback riding than the Yoga sadly! My knees and formerly broken wrist complained a lot ;) Good for you though! I really admired the instructors. They seemed so grounded which I sure was due to their passion for Yoga!

This is exactly why I resisted the Giant Logo when it first came out. But after carrying this beauty over the weekend I really loved it. I have reached the point in life where I could care less about what other people think though. If I love it that's all that matters. I seriously dislike "judgy" people. I always think they must have problems of their own that causes that kind of behavior. I hope you both carry and love your beautiful bags!
 
Picked up my Onthego today! (Also the double zip jungle)

Ppl will always have an opinion of you so I’ll wear my bag with pride!
It does get little heavy side when I add the MacBook Pro (size 15) so if anyone has shoulder issues just don’t pack it with stuff heavy like an iPad or computer.

Love it!
 
Just noticed this inside the OTG on the red cloth lining. The canvas outside looks alright. Is this normal? Ugh I would not like to have to exchange but if I have to I’ll do.

Here’s pics of my interior. It’s the original model with the glazed edges and it is made in Italy. It is normal for the lining to be like this because it is attached to the canvas. However, I do not have the puckering in my lining at the top corner like yours. If it bothers you, return it. Don’t settle because you will be reminded of it every time you use it.

Mine has a bit of puckering too. I'm not sure how that happens either. I always thought the canvas was bonded to lining. I have a Water Color Speedy where the bonding has come apart towards the bottom of the bag so I do think it happens.

So mine does not have glazed edges? I have to check the bag when I’m back home today.
So I see the only thing that doesn’t look normal is the corner that it looks like it was pinched when being sewn together. Do you think if I keep it it will make the lining come apart or break?
anyways
The SA will let me know when the next onthego arrives to the store and I’ll exchange it.

Thank you so much for taking pics and posting. very helpful.

I see. It’s possible that it’s “normal” the area that looks like it was pinched while being sewn. I’m afraid it can cause damage on the long run so I’ll see the other one when it arrives and decide.
