Once you use her, I would be interested in knowing how functional the front pockets are. I have considered getting one as a travel bag several times buy doubt my hand would fit in or that they would hold much.

I was able to get my galaxy s7 in and out easily when I tried it on. I will let you know it goes on my trip
I haven't moved into her yet, but I did a trial run. I was able to fit my zip around phone wristlet, comb, lotion, keys, cell phone, and glasses case with room to spare. Its wide enough to hold my kindle fire, but the opening is too narrow. My only complaint so far is that the seller shipped her folded, and I cant get the fold out. It was folded so that the sienna piping was folded as well. If she doesn't smooth out, that will be a problem.
After stuffing the bag to get out the fold marks, try a few passes with a warm, not hot, hair dryer. Don't get too close or let the leather get too hot, but a little warmth might relax some of the creases. If the edging has a crease, that might be very hard to get out, as it's sometimes reinforced under the leather. Good luck.
I will definitely try that..... I am concerned tho because the piping does seem to be folded.... this was a purchase on ebay, wonder if this is covered under buyer protection ?
Surprised they couldn't tell from zip code info. But maybe your state has some unique sales tax rules.
Hi BW!
I've been following your posts on Kimberly. She's pretty, and I hope you're able to get out the folds to your satisfaction. If you're not happy with it you can check with ebay to see if it's covered. The folds were a result of shipping so they were not disclosed in the listing. If an item arrives damaged I think you have some recourse. Good luck! I hope Kimberly makes the trip to Dallas, because that means she fits what you need, and you're happy with the way she recovered from the folds!
Well bad news. The crossbody attachment is 2mm too thin to fit the satchel strap through the buckle. Shame, they are the same shade trim too. Hopefully these new straps that are out April 14th will match. I'm going to try the tan 25inch with the wide shoulder patch.
Also I'm getting daily compliments on my crossbody and introduced a cashier to the ILD website. Hehe.
That is a bummer..... hopefully some of the new straps will fit.
Yay on loving your bag! And bringing someone new to the Dooney Side!!
