Hello! Does anyone mind sharing pics and any info on the V tote BB, specifically in Empreinte? I did a search but it does not seem too popular. I purchased a Montaigne BB last week and haven't used it yet. My SA had to order it for me from another store so I didn't get to try it on first and I did not realize the strap is not adjustable. I am debating if this is a dealbreaker for me or not. I hate not being able to see the bag in person first. I am not sure what came over me and why I ordered it anyway!
 
The V-Tote BB does not seem to be a popular bag. I purchased the Marine and I like the functionality of the bag as well as the top zipper. I also like how the handles fold down flat as I do not prefer bags that have handles that stick straight up. Good Luck with your decision!

I have the v tote bb and got rid of the Montaigne MM because it wasn’t long enough crossbody and tended to stay open and accessible for everybody. You can fit more in the Montaigne as it is bigger, bulkier and more structured. But those were the reasons why it didn’t work for me cross body, it felt like I was bouncing a box on my waist and knocking it into everything. On the shoulder it would do the same on my hip. The v tote is much more sleek and fits close to the body. The adjustable strap is definitely key for me and it was one of the deal breakers for the Montaigne. HTH!
 
I like the v tote better. The handles on the Montaigne were a nuisance to me, as to put them inside I had to remove everything from my bag. I didn’t purchase it for this reason.
 
The V-Tote BB does not seem to be a popular bag. I purchased the Marine and I like the functionality of the bag as well as the top zipper. I also like how the handles fold down flat as I do not prefer bags that have handles that stick straight up. Good Luck with your decision!
The bag looks gorgeous on you.
I‘m debating between the V Tote BB and the Pochette Metis in black Empreinte. Do you think that a Clemence wallet would fit easily into the V Tote BB? Plus IPhone X max in Folio and some other like Cles?

The v tote bb can handle the clemence easily. It can handle a full zippy but not too much else. I use the clemence, iPhone X, a couple cles and a huge cluster of keys and fobs in my bb.

How are the corners holding up, thinking about purchasing it.

Thanks for sharing photos! The bag is beautiful! Do you find any potential color transfer of the bag's interior lining onto the DA pieces? I have a Pivoine Neverfull and I've been hesitant to use my DA Mini PA inside. :sad:

I have not experienced any color transfer on to any of my DA pieces, however the lining inside of this bag is a different material then the lining inside the NF

I took comparison pictures of my PM and my BB. They’re similar in size But the BB is much wider at the base.
