I think I would like my Piper tote much better if it was Black, which I know yours is.
I do really like the tote, but have to admit for my size (5'4") it is a little bit big (meaning: long). Now that I have the Piper Speedy, to me there is no comparison. I think if you are taller, then the tote is great, but my hubby agrees (yes, I showed him the Piper and told him about the arriving Quilted Bowler) that the Speedy fits my size better than the long tote. The tote is definitely a great travel bag. It fits tons of stuff and the cross body strap is great. I am unsure which bag to get rid of; I think I will wait til the new bowler arrives.
Sep, maybe you are right, the mini quilted is so small, I just don't see me using it too much, but it is sooooo cute!!!
