Dear Ladies,
Hi!
Yesterday, I went & bought MELIE in emprinte leather. But when I came home, I was continously finding the shoulder strap slipping from my shoulders the moment I folded its top to close the bag, irrespective of how much weight was in the bag. The reason could be because I have narrow shoulders. I could also not wear it cross body as well due to the weight of the bag landing at my pelvic (hip) region. My pelvic region is very sensitive as that is where my slip disc is and therefore it was causing me pain. Hence, I went and exchanged it today for TUILERIES HOBO. After getting Tuileries hobo I'm more comfortable both physically and psychologically. Physically as the weight of the bag lies on my upper thoracic not my pelvis and also that the shoulder strap is very broad. Psychologically, I feel that my bag is secure due to magnetic snap closure also my hand is in front of the magnetic snap. Thereby someone has to be extremely close to me to get into the bag. So far I can observe only two cons with Tuileries hobo (which maybe only related to me). First that the shoulder strap is a little stiff (Melie's shoulder strap was extremely soft) which I hope will soften with use and second that the front pocket of Tuileries hobo is a little cumbersome to get into.
Although Melie in emprinte leather was my "dream bag" but Tuileries hobo is "my kind of bag" (I hope I'm making sense!). I'm extremely happy with it!
Thank you all for your valuable advice!
