The structured, wide bottom was my only hesitation with the PN. I don't usually love bags that protrude from my side this much. But I don't find it bothersome or cumbersome in the PN. This is also my first shoulder bag so I was nervous there too. (I'm a top handle or crossbody fan). I find the PN stays on my shoulder easily and I push the bottom to the back of my arm so it's very easy to keep out of the way.
Overall I'm very impressed and delighted with my PN. I love that it's not another Neverfull (I have two, so no shade. It's just nice to carry something different than everyone else in town!). It's easy to get in and out of but with some level of security when you cinch the bag.
The Since 1854 print in stunning and I love the red version. Good luck deciding!
