I'm a little late to the game, but here I am joining a club! First post to TPF, no less. :D

My Estrela MM, with Trunks & Bags Key Holder not holding any keys at all. Rather, it's a bag charm.

This is such a beautiful bag and I'm really leaning toward getting it. I like the casual style, the zipper, and the multiple ways to carry the bag. I just sold my Delightful (tired of seeing everyone else carrying it) and my Cabos Piano (too small) so a new tote would be great. I've thought about the Totally MM, but I have it in GM DA, so variety would be nice.

How annoying is the big pocket flapping open? I've considered putting a strip of velcro in there, but that might *really* hurt my chances at resale, so I better be sure I'm going to wear this bag a LONG time!

Any more modeling shots someone would be willing to share?

I wonder if it would be possible to add the strip of strap that comes with a speedy B to make the strap longer for cross body?

If you are not very tall the one which comes with it could be used for a crossbody. I am tall and it still works, but I would prefer it lower. The SA said they have a long strap for crossbody which could be used with it. And the big pocket does not bother me at all. GL!

Thank you! I'm 5'7. I've tried it on, and I mostly prefer it on the shoulder, with the long strap. That's usually how I wear my speedy b. I don't think I put it on cross body when I tried it a few months ago.

The GM Totally sometimes gaps with the big pocket, and it doesn't bother me much. BUT, it only gaps when I have something in it. I think the Estrela gaps with nothing in it?

In any case, the bag is really calling to me. I'll be going in next week. :graucho:

Does anyone use this as a work bag? If so, do you find it to be roomy/sturdy enough?

I use mine as a work bag (mine's a MM). It's big enough for a one inch binder, an ipad, a book of decent size, a cell phone AND my LV pochette cosmetique (full!).

That being said, I have a clear Lexan sheet made to fit in the bottom of my bag, to help with support.

But yeah, it all fits, and quite nicely.

The pocket flapping open is pretty annoying. I was honestly thinking about finding some permanent way to secure it, especially as I don't have any plans of ever selling the bag. I find myself cramming things into the bag all the time, and they get hung on that silly pocket.

Hi Ladies! I'm (im)patiently waiting for the arrival of my Estrela. :D What type of organizer, if any, do you have in yours?

I have a jumbo purse to go in tan from www.pursebling.com.
It is a little on a small size for the bag, but if you like some room around the organizer for some magazines, ipad, scarf etc you might like the jumbo, otherwise the extra jumbo might be the way to go :). GL!

I 've had this bag a few years now and the Inside Pocket has never been an issue- in fact I love it to store my car keys in- so I always know there to look
