Unfortunately my Mom has seized my camera so I can't take modelling pics, but I do know that the size looks like MissMary's on me only in PLUM crash not Choco!
I cannot say enough good things about this bag.......Here's my mini review based on 1 day's use:
Positves:
1- Versatile - I can toss this bag over my shoulder in a snap when I need my hands-free.....like when I want to fondle my DH for example!
2- love the drawstring/magnetic closure. Makes it a breeze to get in and out of and I don't need to set my bag down to access the contents.
3-
the FLAT design of this bag. It makes it SO sleek, slims your profile.....you know....I laugh when I read posts about ladies not being able to wait for their bags to break in so it rests flat against their body.......this one arrives that way already! Sleek and sexy is what this bag exudes.
4- This bag can pack a lot without becoming overly heavy. I don't carry the kitchen sink with me to begin with, but I imagine the regular sized version of this bag would totally ROCK a weekend trip....and you wouldn't feel like you're carrying a suitcase on your shoulders.
5- The design is beyond fabulous! I can't tell you how many people oggled me with this bag yesterday....and I received so many compliments from the different stores I visited.
6- the colour is amazing! Goes with everything....literally! Navy, brown, black, sage, charcoal.......to name a few. And it's more
PLUM than purple. Although in flurorescent lighting, this bag becomes a deep violet....NO red tones. So, for the ladies craving a purple/grape colour, it's only like that in flurorescent lights....otherwise, it's
PLUM.
7- Detachable shoulder strap which is wide and padded....it's beautiful! This bag also comes with a thinner messenger strap to use if desired.
8- Hidden inner envelope which can be used for anything you want to discreetly hide.
9- although the bag is flatter, don't let the design fool you. It does have a bottom...and it's not like an envelope....like the BV veneta....it doesn't look like that at all.
Negatives:
1- the style is addictive!!! I think I prefer it to the Love Me...and that's saying a LOT!
2- bag doesn't open super wide, but it does open up pretty big for the size, so for those craving a bag that opens as wide as the Grand Canyon, look elsewhere.
Please feel free to add to the above. I will admit that I'm biased because I
this bag so much.
