I played with it a little yesterday, reminded me of the good old Mulberry messenger bag (the ones in scotchgrain) being east west iykwim. The leather was lovely, the frap closure was nicely designed too. I liked small effie satchel but wasn't convinced with the top/double handle so tessie has nicely grown out imo.
^^ I agree, long purse won't fit (but Indy has so many purces big and small in many colours I'm sure....)
