Hello! Figured I'd answer both of you at once! I chose the 32 because I mostly use my bags to commute to work and and need a roomy bag for my day to day lifestyle. I have smaller bags and they never seem to work for me. For instance, I had a 31 bolide but used my 37 more so the 31 was ultimately sold. I like bags with no fuss - which is why a bolide, a toolbox and now, a plume work. While there is room in my life for a Kelly, it's not for daily use at this time. Perhaps, if I wasn't a commuter, the 28 would work. In fact, when I saw ForeverInPink's plume, the size was actually better for my height. However, I opted for the bigger size in case I want to slip a kindle or a bottle of water in my bag.

I also was looking for a casual bag. I was originally looking at a black box plume in a 28 but wanted something more casual for everyday wear. I was thrilled when I found this one. I thought it was clemence, even better that it's fjord.

I also need a bag for for traveling. This seems to fit the bill. I wouldn't feel comfortable traveling with a Birkin (too noticeable, too heavy, no zipper) or a Kelly (too fussy, too small, too noticeable) but the under-the-radar plume with zipper can work. I may take it with me on my trip to Europe this summer and change between this and the evelyne.

I actually CAN fit the plume on my shoulders. It can be worn on the shoulders if you need your hands free but it's not that comfortable. Perhaps if I tried it without a jacket it would be better.

If you do a search on 28 vs 32 plumes, there are so many varying opinions. I always tend to go big but I can see myself downsizing in the future when kids and commuting are no longer in the picture!

Congratulations with your gorgeous Plume,jyyanks !!!LOVE that color and it looks very nice on you !!! I can add my two cents to your detailed description.. weather factor...Plume work the best for me in my New England climate..

I'm sorry I missed this! Thank you for the kind words Run2004. I also agree that the plume is perfect for the NE winter -- especially a winter as brutal as this one.

Thanks everyone! I have never seen a Plume IRL, just the beautiful photos posted on TPF. It caught my eye due to its understated, timeless, classic look. I've just been bitten by the box bug and wanted to add a box bag to my collection. So I was thrilled to see this pre-loved available on the re-sale market. I can now say I truly understand the love of Plumes and appreciate its beauty even more.
