I'm back AGAIN! [emoji35] I recently traded up from a Bloomsbury PM to a Bloomsbury GM. A YouTube video convinced me to get this bag because the PM was too small for me. I sold my PM and brought a preloved GM because they no longer make this bag! I received this bag two days ago and I'm shocked at how HUGE it is! The bag is swallowing me as a crossbody. I have it on the last hole and it's to long, I'm 5'2. I wish they made an MM in this bag! [emoji46]


Aww so sorry to hear u already traded your PM only to find GM is way too big for u. I wanted to sell my Saumur 30 to get preloved saumur 35 of 42 or was it 43? Not too sure. But I don't dare to sell off my saumur 30 yet...until I can see or have the bigger size on hand and feel satisfied. The same goes to my speedy B 30. Both are in my closet until I can find bigger size.

I'm sorry to hear that 😕😕 I was having the same problem with you. I purchased the eva clutch(which I loved) but it was wayyy to long for me (I'm 5'2" as well). I tried to make it work but it wasn't happening, I did think about bringing it to a cobbler to trim some of the leather for me.. but instead I exchanged it for the favorite.. which I love, but not as much as the eva 😐. Have you considered taking your bag to a cobbler to add a hole to your strap?
 
My regret would be LV vernis brea mm. It's a lovely and classy piece but I find it difficult to use it coz it's too stiff and difficult to open the bag. Plus I don't like the colour now. Should I sell it or not ImageUploadedByPurseForum1435883760.516076.jpg
 
I'm afraid for me it is my Neverfull Ikat Rose Velours GM. It is soooo pretty, but just too big! I tried using it daily as a work bag, but it was too cumbersome. I ended up using something else for work, and now the pretty bag just sits in its box. :sad: About the only time I use it is on the occasional week-end trip. Wish I would have purchased the MM. Oh well.. too late now.
I have the same bag! It is soooooo big! I use mine when i do somewhere during the day and wont be home til night! I toss everything in it.... And i mean everything! Shoes, sweaters if i get cold, snacks lol it really is pretty but is huge! I bought the rose Indian in mm lol

I actually have a leather hole punching tool I could use to make another hole. I'm actually thinking about using it as a winterbag. It won't look as huge when I wear my long Parka coats! 😊

I actually thought about getting the Saumur 35, but got the odeon pm(which I regret). I'm thinking about giving my odeon to my niece as a graduation gift. 😆
 
I hate to say it but the Empriente Curieuse Wallet tbat I just got about a month ago. I wanted something to carry my phone in since I don't carry much but I guess it just doesn't seem to be what I really wanted. I love the Empriente leather and have 2 Speedys, a Secret Compact and a Key Pouch that I usually use everyday. So I ordered the Alma BB in Epi Turquoise. The last one. Always wanted one just never got it. I'm probably going to sell the Curieuse and a couple other things that I don't really use to put toward my Alma. 😕I hope the BB isn't too big for what I need. 😯

My alma BB is in turquoise, bought in last month. She can hold quite a lot despite looking so small. If u carry very few items only, u can only consider the latest Alma Nano.

Oh cool . Is yours Epi too? I was trying to decide between Epi and Vernis and I like soft leather and I think the Epi isn't as stiff. I was looking at the Nano but it doesn't come in blue and I love blue. 😊

Mine is Epi Turquoise color. Their new color for Vernis are SOOOO Beautiful. But my alma Pm is already Vernis so for BB I chose Epi.
 
I unfortunately have a few regrets:

1) Palermo PM - I love the look of pleat and the zipper charm but the bag never suited me. I don't like carrying bags by the handles nor the crook of my arm but I didn't like the way the bag looks when slinging it on my shoulder.

2) Mono card holder - I had inhibitions about is functionality for me but I got suckered when it came out with colored interiors. I should have passed.

3) Mono Favorite PM - I should have gotten the MM instead.

4) DE Griet - Beautiful bag but too structured and heavy.

5) Empriente Artsy - Another beautiful but heavy bag. Still in my collection but I keep debating on wether to sell on not.
