Good to know, thanks!Hi Ruby,
I have the smith bag. Actually I have 7 of them, 5 in leather (natural, t-moro, white, red and moss) and 2 in nylon (navy and pink). I love the bag. Love the outside pockets for phone and keys, lots of space inside and love the florentine leather.
I agree with Sarah, the bag is big and the leather one is on the heavy side . For me is the perfect size since I like medium-large bags since I like to have space to carry stuff if I need. To me is not heavy, what I mean is that I can carry a heavy bag with no problem, but I have asked DH and he told me the bag was heavy.
Is there a particular concern you have?
Good to know, thanks!
I am mainly concerned with the weight, and the user friendliness of the front pocket. I love the idea of a front pocket, but find that most are not as easy to get in and out of, as easily as I would like.
Thanks for the great info, I think you might have pushed me over the edge towards it. As much as I love my Florentine satchels, the zipper flap drives me batty. Thinking that perhaps the Smith is my solution.
I had the Smith in the Natural Florentine! Love the Handy Pockets and the look, however I am 5'1" and love big bags but found this one a bit too heavy for most outings.! this style should be shrunk about 1.5 " each way and this would be the perfect Handbag.Does anyone have one? Could you give a review?
I've got a Smith bag in Teal and I LOVE it and am already plotting future Smith bag purchases. I love a big bag, and this one is fabulous! I don't fold the flap down....I like it standing up and looking more tote-ish. I don't zip it much, so it stays up just fine. The weight...I believe it's the same weight as the large satchel. A little over 3 lbs. :o)Good to know, thanks!

OMG you're my hero! I don't feel bad at ALL now for making a list of other colors I want in this bag! I just love it!Hi Ruby,

OMG i love the color of that bag.. I was looking at the Smith or the Double Tassel Satchel. similar bags but one has the flap. Doony has them on special for Feb.Ruby,
What do you mean by the zipper flap on the satchels? Are you referring to the main zipper than folds down? If so, be aware that the smith has the same thing! See the pic below. Hope this helps.
