I got this Roseau top handle in Taupe today from Premium outlet store and I love it. Been planning to get it for months but did not have the chance to visit the store. Also attached is the color comparison of taupe with H etoupe. Thank you for letting me share.

I had not used it yet but my initial concern about it being too big was not valid after all. With the sides clasped, it just felt like a good sized tote bag and I don't feel it is too big at all. Since yours is an extra large, I do think you will enjoy this large size. Plus it is incredibly light! My shoulders are thankful for that.
I'm just pondering whether I should spray Apple Guard on it since there are off white parts on it after all.

Reporting back after two days of using this bag. It's light on the shoulder and I appreciate the generous strap drop. I use it with sides clasped and it does not look bulky at all. In terms of compartments, it has two deep pockets on each side (total four) and one large zippered pocket on each side too (total two :tup:). I secure my wallet and card pouch within the zippered pocket. Loose items like key pouch, lip balm go into the open slip pockets. The slip pocket is so wide that I can even fit a notebook and envelope within. The spacious wide interior offers plenty of space for my Hydroflask, umbrella and a sweater.

My initial apprehension about this being a printed bag and hard to match is gone. I've worn it with a plain yellow tee and a Cobalt blue tee with jeans and don't feel awkward at all. So says me whom had rehomed all her Neo Fantasie LPs as I found them looking a tad busy on me.

To conclude, highly recommend and I think it is a nice complement to your XL 1948 since this is a large. :love:

Love the pictures, they are so helpful. I also have neck and shoulder issues, and can't do too heavy or uncomfortable straps, so I appreciate your feedback. And I agree, I need this bag!:biggrin::heart:

I have been admiring, the Navy Le Pliage Cuir Lambskin tote with the orange/blue web strap, hoping my order doesn't get cancelled from Nordstrom and it ships (snagged it at 1/2 price)

Mini new Roseaus. Adorable but very small, at least for me. It fits more when unclasped but I definitely worry about items falling out of the bag. Red is not a bright red. It looks more muted irl. Pilot blue is beautiful and has a nuance of grey to it.
