Thank you! Yeah, my husband is 5'11" with broad shoulders, so I was hoping it might fit over one shoulder in him. I don't want to order it if it won't fit him at all though.
Ha, my husband is also 5'11" with broad shoulders. I just had him try it on (would've taken a pic but he's shirtless and wouldn't have appreciated it). I honestly don't think it would work. It can fit over one shoulder but he said he felt uncomfortable. Maybe your husband will feel differently. I would definitely have him try it on before purchasing if you really want him to wear it too.
Thank you so much! I can't thank you enough! There is no MM available in my state, so I would have to buy it before seeing it. Now I think I will pass and go with one of the men's options.
I know you didn't want the Bosphore because of the vachetta but you may want to take a look at it. I believe that works for men too and I've heard very good things about it. Also have you taken a look at Gucci? They have a lot more backpack options.
I like the look of the Bosphore, but I really want to avoid vachetta because it rains here almost every day so it would get spotted immediately.
I went in and tried the Explorer, which is the other backpack that my store had, but due to the size and shape it was way too oversized on me, like a hiking pack.
From the photos online I am now considering the Palk or the Newport. However, my store does not have them in stock and I can't find any photos online showing what they look like when worn. Have you seen either of those in your store by any chance?
I've watched some unboxing videos, and the quality looks nice. Of course a zip top would be more convenient, but I'm sure it would be ok.
Have you looked into Balenciaga Backpack? They have a backpack called Classic Traveller S backpack. It about the size of Bosphore and similar style. Less expensive then LV.
I'm in the minority and haven't had issues with vachetta in the rain. If I've seen spots, I've been able to just wipe them off with a baby wipe. The Palk looks great in pics but unfortunately, I haven't seen either bag you mention in person. Can you store order these for you so you can see them in person before buying it? I hope you find something that works for you.
That's interesting about your experience with vachetta in the rain, thanks. I can order the bags to be shipped to the store, but only if I buy them first. So I want to be at least 80-90% sure it will work first.
I'm looking at the Bosphore and seems like a good quality bag that I don't have to feel as careful with like I do my Azur Sperone. I'm debting new or pre-loved.
How is your backpack holding up? Pic updatesHere's my contribution, the Bosphore Sac. Can't say enough positive things about the utility of this great looking pack: features include easy access outside pockets, full-length side pocket, spacious interior, canvas straps and vachetta handle.
Bosphore backpack. Couldn't decide to purchase new or pre-loved. So glad I purchased it new 
This bag holds quite a bit. Even when packed still doesn't feel heavy. I love the side compartment.you can put a wallet in there or documents. The front pockets are super handy for passport, small littl wallet, Kleenex or even a regular size iPhone
