i know.
i went in SPECIFICALLY looking for a shoulder tote. but there weren't any i really liked. but the sa made a good point: most over the shoulder bags usually end up at your elbow.
my other bag was the scribble tote (MUCH smaller handle- primarily a hand bag). but i'm THRILLED with this one. worked out much better than i thought it would have.
sometimes what you think you want isn't really it.
