Which styles?Although I love hobo/shoulder bag styles, I find my satchel type Bals to be more comfortable to carry with the flat shoulder strap. Unlike some satchels I've owned, I don't mind the way these look carried with the shoulder strap.

I only have the Velo and the mini Pompon. I've been especially surprised at how much I like the Velo as I don't usually like larger bags with long straps; it's like the bigger the bag, the shorter I like the strap to be. I guess it just that the flat wide strap is so comfortable.Which styles?

I double my strap and it’s a perfect length for me.mine is bleu lavande so it is total love for me.
I've thought about doing that but haven't yet. I'm reluctant to try a city as I don't think I'd like the strap drop as much.I double my strap and it’s a perfect length for me.
I’ve sold every City I’ve had. Too east west for me, I like the depth of the Velo much more. Try doubling the strap, if you persevere you can feed both parts of the strap through the weight distributor which holds them together.I've thought about doing that but haven't yet.

This is a U tag, right?I finally pulled out my Mogano 07 City after not having really used it for over a year, and found myself falling in love with it all over again. Does that ever happen to you? I'm going to finish out the week with her (which means going to the grocery store and a few errands during our week-long university fall break).

It is, indeed! I bought off of FP a few years ago. They listed it in very good condition but it was obvious that when I received the bag it was basically new/rarely worn. Not a scratch on the lovely silver plate. The leather hadn't been broken in at all.This is a U tag, right?
I had a senior moment and was comparing it to my castagna Velo.It is, indeed!
understood. I have many of those these days.I haven't seen Castagna IRL but the Mogano looks like it pulls more red-purple-brown than the Castagna.I had a senior moment and was comparing it to my castagna Velo.![]()
