I feel the same way. It's a beautiful bag but I didn't like how boxy the top part of it was, too bulky.


I thought it was just me! I sold mine on eBay as so many people love it. I was so upset and was really tempted to buy a new smaller one when I was on the store the other week!
It's not meant to get softer from what I know, I was more put off by the fact it was so bulky!
 
Also have you guys noticed that they gave this bag free to SO many fashion bloggers during NYFW? I don't know why, but for some reason that kinda bugged me. Seems like KS is really trying hard to promote this one style and make it an "it" bag.

Emphasis mine. I get the feeling KS is trying to do the same thing with this bag that they did with the Bow Bridge Kennedy. While they were promoting the Bow Bridge Kennedy, they were really hot on eBay, and people were sometimes paying more than retail for them. Then they sort of lost favor, and now the prices have really dropped on eBay.

The bow bridge kennedy also had the hard leather, and scratched very easily. I love the style of both bags, but if I'm going to pay that much for a bag, I don't want to baby it.

I actually wish the beau bag were a little bit smaller so it could be more of an everyday bag for me.

There is a smaller beau bag now. Comes in red, black, beige and cream, as well as cream croc or blue croc.
 
They had the large navy beau bag at the outlet today at the Seattle premium outlets, almost bought it until I picked it up and found out how darn heavy it is!! No way I'd carry that around by the handles all day even empty!
