Did you see on the Bergdorf Goodman site today there is a paddington satchel shoulder bag? The strap is so nice and wide and long and has the signature C design.

Loganz said:AAHH - Don't do it.
I ordered the tan shoulder strap paddy from Neiman's and it went straight back.
That strap is wholly unfunctional; the bag cannot be worn messenger style and it hung down past my hips (I am 5'7").
The bag jutted out of my hip area like some weird fungal growth, it looked silly and felt awkward.
Also, if it is the tan on B&G those bags have been shipped and returned so many times that you are getting what equates to a second-hand bag. Mine had a pen mark on it, and the round leather stud tabs were frayed, it looked dirty...I could go on and on about that mistake.
I didn't even take pictures of it - it went back faster than you can say ho-ho.
Loganz said:Oh that is awful, napkins :blink: ...yikes, in my opinion some stores returns policies are too leniant, you should not be able to test drive a $1500 bag for a few weeks and then send it back, I just think that is ethically wrong.
You should be able to tell in your house, in front of your mirror if the bag is right for you.
