i love the bag! It’s not heavy at all. I’m 5’7 for Reference, but quite slim. I think it looks cute and chique, not to big, bulky or overpowering. Als for what it holds, it almost competes with my totes, but looks better and more classic in my opinion. Its not als trendy als the m/L or the jumbo, which I have also, but I always find myself reaching for the maxi. mine is about 10 years old and the caviar gets nice and shiny, it wears really well, no marks or scuffs. Go for what YOU love, not what is trendy or an SA recommends. You won’t regret it!
