I have wanted a Tory Burch to add to my collection for some time now but nothing hit me. I knew I'd know it when I saw it. It is between the small Robinson black or teal dome satchel or the Double Zip Satchel. I do not do bags over 14 x 9 so if its the dome, it would have to be the smaller one. Not sure the double zip would be small enough but I think so. I think the double zip is safiano leather and the other regular leather. Any thoughts or suggestions are welcome. As usual, you guys are the best.
 
Um actually both are saffiano leather unless you meant you want the dome in patent leather. I am 5"2, but I do own a large burgundy East West tote and a parisian blue small dome satchel! I have seen the double zip in person, it's heavier and I just don't think it's necessary to have so many compartments? I think the small dome is a perfect size for smaller people (5"4 and shorter) or for those who are lazy and just like crossbodies :)

The leather is very nice, but I wouldn't say it's the best quality. My East West tote (Ok I take very good care of my bags) one of the corners there has already been a slight rub (ok very very slight, I am just picky) and the corners have already darkened a bit (burgundy is dark I guess the leather picks up dirt very easily...). Also some gold ware has chipped off but I guess that happens with all bags no matter how good their quality is...The East West tote (I suggest you check it out) is just like the double zip but a larger version and it doesn't have the two extra zip compartments, just a normal tote. The one I have is the large version but it's not too big on me (12" x 16"inch I believe) but there is a smaller version I think 10" x 13" or something which would suit you as well if you don't like big bags.

I think for the price, the dome is definitely worth it. The double zip is more expensive, just for it's quality I don't think it's worth it although if you compare it to Prada's double zip tote it's like you are getting a very good deal (both very similar!) The dome bag I guess is slightly more special in my opinion, you see less of dome bags out there especially crossbody ones. Don't expect perfect quality, but it does look very good. I suggest you check out if you are getting the black small dome on ebay, I saw a few and they are all authentic...TB hardly has any fakes. I wouldn't buy it for the full price. I got my small dome for 340 USD including shipping :)

Thank you so much for your advice. I am not one who likes compartments in my bags as I just don't carry that much. I think I would love a small E/W if I could it. I am a little concerned tat there is a lit of talk about them not holding up but I know I an quite picky about that stuff. LVs and my gorgeous Longchamp even scuff and I baby my bags.. I'm going to just try ad get to a store to check on the weight and look at the dome ones. I live that look but feel the sat hel is a bit more classic. I think I'll know when I see it.

yes you should look in the store. if you want the robinson satchel or double zip, the price diff isnt as big in store and online. for the east west and dome satchel its better to buy on ebay. its not sketchy, just look at the seller's feedback rating and usu. tory burch has no fake bags anyway except fake nylons.
 
I was thinking about getting the TB partisan blue doom in small as well. How do you like its color? Would you be so kind to post a couple of pictures of you wearing it for me? Thanks!!!
