RERE - I'm only 5'4 and it totally works for me. It's like a more square work with longer (that fit over anything!) handles.
Drati , thanks for this! I love your Black Shopper... I don't think the one on AFF is as nice as this one though. Look at that leather. It looks like it holds a TON of stuff! Much more stuff than I'd ever have.
Per your reference to the size, I think I might have to pass then as the Work is totally awkward on me. I'm 5' 3" and feel as though it swallows me whole. (Still though: to purchase? Or not to purchase?)
Such a shame. Oh well, back to my Bal-contentedness.

Thank you too bagluver, very helpful.
What styles do you usually prefer, and may I ask how tall you are?
Though the Shopper holds about as much as a Work, it does not feel as large to me as a Work. I also find the Work awkward and too wide. I find the Shopper to be comfy to carry and it doesn't feel big to me, even though it holds a lot.
Other styles that I have and love are the City, Day, and Twiggy. I have one Work that I can't seem to let go of because the leather is so yummy, but I do not love the Work style. I am 5'4".
Just wanted to say Thank you, Beaux! It was b/c of you and this wonderful thread of all your gorgeous Shoppers that I finally took the plunge and have my own on the way! I am excited to see this style irl and I am really hoping it's a perfect fit for me!
^^You're welcome. I'm happy you found one you love. Which color did you purchase? Can't wait to see!!
Ink. While it really is not my first choice color wise, I figured it was worth giving this style a shot. They seem so few and far between... Once I decide if the style is for me or not then I guess I can get serious about hunting down a more "ideal" color!
