Would love to hear more feedback about this bag, small or large, as I haven't seen it in real life just yet. Is it heavy? Practical? Any negatives? Many thanks.
I’ve been using the small black leather Banana bag for more than two years. Honestly I had no idea when I bought it how much I’d still love it or how much use I’d find for it given I have a decent collection of other small black leather bags.

I love carrying it, I adore the look and feel of the leather and it’s super light. It works with a lot of my daytime wardrobe.

There’s no internal pocket. Not really an issue in a compact bag and it doesn’t bother me. Maybe that’s been updated in newer models anyway.

I might have bought the large size but at the time I could only find the large with textile strap, and I wanted leather, so it was the different straps that made me decide on the small. The large size is super cool IMO, the small makes much less of a statement. Both outstanding bags though.

I just ordered myself a row banana bag after doing all my research I went with the large thinking its the one for me at my 5'7 slim frame but when It arrived It felt HUGEEEEEE. I just ordered the small to compare It should be coming by friday.

does anyone favor the small over the large?

I have the large and I'm 5'1" and love the size. But I don't carry it in front.
