I'm 5 ft 2 in and tried it on in boutique. I really really loved it though I don't have much use for such a big bag... I'm still thinking about it though! You can tuck in the sides which is how it's pictured here. Would look a bit more ginormous at full wingspan. Super luxurious!
Thank you! It doesn't look too large on you. I think tucking the sides in makes a huge difference.
 
I just got my Icare on Sunday. It is truly the most beautiful bag. What really sealed the deal for me was the fact that the logo is a brushed gold. It doesn't look over the top *to me*. I'm excited to have this bag for years to come. I feel like it will be a very iconic bag in the next few years.
 
I love this bag but is it just a trend bag? I’m torn between this and the Chanel 22. Thoughts?
I've never touched the 22, but I have seen people wearing them out and about. Worn on the shoulder it looked kind of awkward to me. It is smaller than the Icare, which is large. I am 5'7" so it doesn't overwhelm me, but it might feel huge on a shorter person.

Also, the 22 seems like it would be hard to find things. The Icare can hang open with one strap on your shoulder, making it simple to find things. There is also an inner pocket in addition to the included pouch.

I just got my Icare bag today and I love it. I personally think it looks so much better than the 22. I don’t see it as a trend bag because it’s versatile and would be great for travel. I like the fact that you can wear the logo side facing your body if you don’t want to draw attention to it.
 
How are your ICares holding up? I can’t seem to get this bag off my mind! And I’m a sucker for big bags… I don’t baby them though and I’m a little worried about the lambskin
Yes, hoping those who have it can share how the bag has worn! I’m particularly worried about them sagging at the bottom? TIA!

My bag looks great! I have worn it A LOT and there is no loss of shape. The lambskin still looks really good. I am sure to not place the bag down on any rough surfaces to prevent any scratching, but I would not call myself a person that treats my bag like a baby.
