Have you loaded it up?
A little... my iPad mini doesn’t fit... but I could live with that... it’s not that I’m taking it everywhere with me... only when traveling, which is not the case now and when I was traveling, I had most of the times a carry-on, like a LV Keepall...
I think I was expecting something a little softer and bigger, maybe like the Céline small vertical cabas...
 
This might be blasphemous to ask ... but has anyone ever shortened the tassels on their City?

I love my new City, but this is the one thing that bothers me about it. I feel like they get in the way.

Not on purpose... BUT one of my dogs definitely chewed the tassels and I just left it as is since I didn't have any spares. I actually prefer the longer tassels. I find the zippers much easier to open with the longer tassels! But you go ahead and do what is going to work for you and your bag! I'd suggest living with the longer tassels for a few trips with the bag to see how you like them.

I wouldn’t shorten them, take them off and keep them with the mirror. Any fabric store will have similar leather strips for sale quite cheaply. You can make your own and play with the length without ruining the original ones.

Hmmm, I have two of the Everyday totes which offer plenty of room and aren’t stiff. Here are mine, they do come in solid colours as well.

I do!

I'll take one tassle and cut it up into shorter pieces to use for all the zipper pulls and keep the rest of the tassles in storage.

ok so when I was opening the main zipper the other day, I accidentally ripped one of the leather tassels (which is actually why I started thinking of shortening it)

anyway, the ripped tassel was completely split into two, but I put it inside the bag to keep safe. I’ve taken off the long tassel from the front pocket and added on the split tassel from the main zip.

I much prefer this look!! And if I get bored of it, I can put the long one back on :biggrin:

My birthday is coming up in two weeks. Looking for a great Balenciaga. Anthracite or a purple would be my top choices. But open to anything. City, veto or day. Great condition and under $1000. Let me know if you see any great bags.
You might want to post on the “please help me find” thread in the shopping sub forum. :smile:

As usual you can't see all of the details but they look pretty decent from what I can see.
