In my opinion the whole colour scheme for the on the go totes wasn't thought out very well in general.

The OTG totes stand out anyway, so there was no reason why they needy to have mismatched coloured linings and handles too.

Why was the canvas OTG tote given a red lining? It should have been given the caramel brown lining that was put in the noir empreinte leather OTG tote and that tote should have been given the red lining or come with a black lining. The only lining that was ok is the noir epi leather that came in hot pink as there is a history of them making noir epi leather bags with that hot pink lining.

Even so considering the size of the bag and how most people would want to use them I.e for work or travel I don't understand why the default wasn't to make them the linings and handles match as much as possible so the beauty of the giant mono or the subtleness of the empreinte was the vocal point to be noticed and enjoyed.

I'm not sure who is buying the multicolored epi leather versions?
Most people who want those fun bright colours would go for the summer collection canvas OTG totes.

Also I wish there were versions of the OTG totes with all normal sized logo print not giant. That would have been drool worthy to me with matching linings.

Instead the closest thing to what I'm describing that's available is the lock me tote in noir and the price point for that in the mm size is ridiculously more than for the empreinte GM size and I don't understand why.

Anyway, rant over. I'm officially done with black totes now as I also got a black Christian Louboutin Cabata tote.
waiting for my mm to arrive but I 100% agree with you on the red lining. Brown would've been so much classy paired with the reverse, while red makes it look a bit cheap tbh. Red would look great on epi/empreinte however.
 
I have both the GM and new MM (with black straps) sitting in front of me right now and I can’t decide!!! The GM is like a work or travel tote as its very large and the MM is more practical but I generally lean towards bigger. Can’t decide. Please help!

Hi Lyss! I guess it really depends on your lifestyle. In my opinion, for my day to day, the GM is more practical. It fits more, can serve as a briefcase for work, shopping bag or for a day at the mall. Whenever I need a smaller bag, the MM would be big anyway and I would lean towards an even smaller bag.
But again, that’s for my lifestyle! Either way, you will be good served with an awesome bag!

Do you find it gets heavy at all?
 
Do you find they get heavy at all? I keep reading about that!
Mine never do but I don't carry THAT much...usually I have my phone, keys, a small wallet, sunglasses, and then a toiletry case with some lipstick, lip gloss, inhaler, hand sanitizer, brush, and make up. I also sometimes carry a book or iPad. It doesn't get very weighed down at all :)
 
My OTG GM is supposed to be delivered today. Does it fit under the seat on an airplane? I saw a video that suggested it did not. As I purchased for travel, I want to make sure I can actually use it for that purpose!

Yes, it does but it will have to be placed under the seat laying flat.
 
Hello I just wanted to share the joy I get from looking at my escale OTG. The only issue is I wonder if it’s too big and if I’ll reach for it. I had ordered neo noe too bit returned to get this as I loved the look of OTG. Do you think I did the right thing

Today, I received my Giant Reverse OTG. I love everything about this bag. This bag is carefree and its size is comparable to the Neverfull MM. I used the same bag organizer I use for my Speedy 30. It is made well and I do not notice any quality issues. There are some wrinkles in the canvas, which will go away over time. Despite these wrinkles, I LVoe her.
The OTG is a permanent line and will be offered in many different canvas prints in future releases. If this print does not appeal to you, maybe others will. This bag is scheduled to be released on 5/10 and next week is a tentative pre-release online. If you have pre-ordered or planning to buy, I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.
