I bought the nonpadded black and did not consider at all the padded black because I personally felt that the nonpadded version is less trendy with greater longevity, and I felt that the padded version looked unflattering for a lot of people that I saw wearing it around town because it's bulky. I have no doubts about this to this day. I don't carry that many items, and so find it okay for my needs with a small wallet, lipstick, hand sanitizer, reusable bag, and +/- sunglasses in its pouch. I even bought a bag organizer for it because I didn't have any issues with space, but again, I don't carry very much. I've worn it while biking around town and as a clutch to nice restaurants. It's a great versatile bag!

I would recommended going in store to try them out and see what works best for you!

Thank you for that! I have been seeing the padded version on instagram so much but it's mainly really famous influencers haha! I definitely didn't think about how it'd fit with my height I'm only 5'3 so I definitely think I'll go try them on in store. They fit the same items anyways.

Do you find the non padded one "flimsy"?

I purchased the non padded in linoleum (beautiful color) for a trip to Paris. I did find that it holds less than I expected…I definitely played Tetris to carry my passport, small wallet (Hermès Calvi), sunglasses in a soft bag and a small pouch with chapstick and some wipes. I made my DH carry the keys!

I'm thinking of using it for a Europe trip as well (hoping no other major covid events happen in the next few months) - do you have a photo of what fits in by chance :)

How has the wear and tear been?

Thank you all for all the beautiful pictures! I know, too laten the game, but I would really like an unpadded one. Not sure it will work for my lifestyle, but I still want it.

Pics as promised…one of all the stuff in the bag (except the phone/camera of course) and one with contents displayed. My CDC card is standing in for my passport which I carried between the zippered pocket and the back of the bag.

Thanks for the pictures, even though I’m not the one who asked for them!
I see you could also put sunglasses in the bag! That’s good to know!

I'm still pondering! I got lucky because I went out on Sunday and got into the shops around 11am when they first opened so I managed to pop by BV and Celine. I tried on the Folco and Belt bag (the pico is incredibly cute).

I definitely found the cassette to fit a lot more than I thought!

Is the strap able to get shorter for the padded cassette? I would get the bag you love!
