This is definitely the Maddy (smaller than the Mahala). Many Choo lovers find the Maddy more comfortable. I prefer the Mahala, as I like to be able to wear the bag hooked over my shoulder. I would say it is a personal preference.
Just one thing about this bag, Anns is calling it electric blue and it is actually the cobalt blue. Still a gorgeous bag and it sold out pretty quick. It is from cruise 2009.
