I sold my city a long time ago too. I believe I felt it was too small but now I carry even smaller bags so it could work. But there might have been an additional reason I sold it that I can't remember. I think it didn't wow me. The stewardess has a more comfortable strap but I think it is rather short. I sold that one too. I think I didn't like the chunky look. I prefer the streamlined look of the Ranch bag but it doesn't have as comfortable of a strap.

Yea, the city bag is very “plain” for lack of a better word (not a bad thing). If I come across one for a good price, I think it’s worth a try again. Maybe you should try it again as well? I bet you can find them cheaper on US Poshmark compared to Ebay

The city is definitely nothing fancy. I guess it's just a good size for me. I like small bags, but it's a little bigger for when I need to carry more.

Over the past 2 years I have definitely pared down what I carry in general and on a work day. I was finally able to make the break from a checkbook style wallet to a much smaller one (I am eyeing up the small Tabby wallet as we speak). I generally would not be carrying the Patti for hours on end. But with a pared down wallet, I might. I don't think I have carried it in the last year. I have been working through my small bags. And I always seem to cycle around to my tabac City or BT Olviver.
I usually opt for the City or the Oliver if I know I will be out for hours on end. I do better with the thin strap crossbody. I found a non-vintage I like for travel, I think it's called the Ashley Hobo.

Besides the weight, one thing I don't like about Patty is the zipper. Even if you leave it open, it scrapes your hand when you reach inside. I think it is an extra that just doesn't need to be there. How about a classic pouch? It is like a Patty without the zipper so it is lighter weight and has a wider strap, but I don't think it is long enough for crossbody.

I never thought of that. I had that issue with the Legacy 9997 bag. I’ll add the classic pouch to the list, it might be a great alternative, thanks!

I know what you mean about weight! I found the oil slick bear bag charm at my nearest coach outlet & it was HEAVY. Passed on it for $35 with the discount because of the weight. The tea rose charm that I have, it’s actually pretty light. Its just the key ring doesn’t lay nicely & it just makes the charm look bulky overall. I agree, these charms were probably made with bigger bags in mind. The first thing that comes to mind are the Rexy skeleton charms. Even the small ones are huge, lol

The rexy charms look ridiculous! It’s so big, might as well hang a stuffed toy on your bag! Lol :lol:

Hm, the problem with selling a bag so long ago is I can’t remember if there was any other reason for getting rid of my city other than the size. Im gonna hold off on the Stewardess for now so it’s between the Patty & city. The weight of the patty is the only thing putting me off, I really like how it looks though!

Same! The Patty is really pretty, but no to heavy bags. :sad:
