Seems like the opening is a little on the smaller side, but these things you just have to try to see if it works. Crossing fingers for you. Please post pics,can't wait to see it on your arm! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/coveted-bag-final-choice-only-2-bags-left#post-388338 Wed, 20 Jul 2011 14:20:00 +0000 Jonesy 388338@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't do handbags that have to hang on my forearm, so I can't really help in the practicality department, but in terms of looks they are two different bags, IMHO. The first one looks very luxe, classic, elegant. The proportions are beautiful. The second one, with the addition of the shoulder strap, looks busier and sportier, less luxe, if that makes sense. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/coveted-bag-final-choice-only-2-bags-left#post-388304 Wed, 20 Jul 2011 13:04:31 +0000 modgrl 388304@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the strappy things in 2 but they seem like they would be annoying. I would go with 1. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/coveted-bag-final-choice-only-2-bags-left#post-388272 Wed, 20 Jul 2011 10:16:33 +0000 rute 388272@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love 1!

This is a stunning bag. Can't wait to see you with it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/coveted-bag-final-choice-only-2-bags-left#post-388196 Wed, 20 Jul 2011 03:45:42 +0000 rae 388196@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ah, I think it looks good for the forearm. I'm glad to see you went for #1 then, as it was really your first love! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/coveted-bag-final-choice-only-2-bags-left#post-388193 Wed, 20 Jul 2011 03:40:53 +0000 Kyle 388193@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rae, I mean to fit comfortably on forearm and terminology may be faulty. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/coveted-bag-final-choice-only-2-bags-left#post-388191 Wed, 20 Jul 2011 03:39:32 +0000 rae 388191@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>When you say "adequate drop," do you mean that you'd like the handle to fit over your shoulder? I don't really see that happening with #1, unless I'm imagining the scale completely wrong. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/coveted-bag-final-choice-only-2-bags-left#post-388190 Wed, 20 Jul 2011 03:37:38 +0000 Kyle 388190@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you, wise women. Order placed for Bag No. 1. If it arrives and seems impractical or scale is wrong, I will return it. Bags are tough to order online, but I've not had access to try this one in a store. Have loved it since I first saw it and hopefully it will measure up in person. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/coveted-bag-final-choice-only-2-bags-left#post-388187 Wed, 20 Jul 2011 03:34:15 +0000 MNsara 388187@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If you have to actually unbuckle those extra little straps to get into purse #2 - that would be a deal breaker for me.</p> <p>I also don't think I'd be inclined to wear a larger satchel on my shoulder if it has some 'depth' and wouldn't form around my body, at least a little. But I am short enough with hips and thighs that do NOT need the extra visual bulk!</p> <p>So, my reasoning would lean in favor of #1 </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/coveted-bag-final-choice-only-2-bags-left#post-388184 Wed, 20 Jul 2011 03:29:01 +0000 Erin 388184@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like the look of #1 much more. Have you ever had a bag in a similar size without a shoulder strap? If you think that it would be functional for you then I say buy #1 otherwise I'm thinking don't get anything. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/coveted-bag-final-choice-only-2-bags-left#post-388181 Wed, 20 Jul 2011 03:27:31 +0000 Kyle 388181@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>When a strap is available, I definitely make use of it. I do have some satchels without shoulder straps and those seem to work fine if the drop is adequate. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/coveted-bag-final-choice-only-2-bags-left#post-388180 Wed, 20 Jul 2011 03:26:16 +0000 taylor 388180@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Agreed #1 by a mile...Do you use a strap that often?, This looks like the type of bag i would carry by the handle even with a strap!</p> <p>Don't settle Kyle for the less stellar looking bag UNLESS the strap is the deal breaker. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/coveted-bag-final-choice-only-2-bags-left#post-388176 Wed, 20 Jul 2011 03:23:36 +0000 Angie 388176@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What bj1111 said. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/coveted-bag-final-choice-only-2-bags-left#post-388172 Wed, 20 Jul 2011 03:21:35 +0000 bj1111 388172@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#1--much cleaner. i would be more likely to wear #1. strap or no strap.</p> <p>how do you usually carry your bags now? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/coveted-bag-final-choice-only-2-bags-left#post-388169 Wed, 20 Jul 2011 03:19:46 +0000 Kyle 388169@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've been stalking the Olivia Harris bag in photo 1 and now it has gone on sale, so I need to pounce. I LOVE it with one hesitation. There is no shoulder strap (in addition to top handle), which seems limiting.</p> <p>Then I saw a second, slightly smaller bag option with a strap. The first bag is slightly, slightly larger, which is important for my height, and I really like the design better. </p> <p>I am wrestling with the importance of the strap and whether I will regret buying a bag without it. There is only a $16 price difference. Any insight? </p>
