I saw this bag and the smaller flap. I liked this size and the sort of unusual shape and thought the smaller flap was too small for me. It's a little like a refined version of the Hidden Chain bags. A couple of women who were looking at it after I did were not liking it because it's relatively flat, and they thought it was too big. If you like a bag with more of a gusset, or more depth, that might be it's flaw.
