Waiting for the pictures with yours stuff insteda of this bulky stuffing.<br /> I just wanted to warn you about the color. It is gorgous color, no doubt. I liked it so much that I got the bag in the very similar shade. Thinking it will be so versatile, going with navy and gray and ... But thruth is, i don't find it so versatile. It looks great with all neutrals like in your pictures, but add additional color and it looks off. I am strugling to find additional peace like belt or shoes that will somehow bookend it. Whenever I try to wear this bag, there is always another bag that coordinates better with the outfit colorwise. And this one just sits unworn, causing me lot of grief. Of course, this is just my own expirience and may not apply to you at all. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/minkoff-bag/page/2#post-1702814 Tue, 26 Jul 2016 17:27:46 +0000 AM 1702814@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm a big bag gal!

It looks very fashionable.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/minkoff-bag/page/2#post-1702656 Tue, 26 Jul 2016 13:01:37 +0000 Deborah 1702656@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz, I will start by saying I love big bags:). This photo reminded me of my most recent addition (pictured) from Oroton. It is a soft bag, and big-ish. Because it's soft and diet if moods to my body when carried in the shoulder it doesn't seem so big iykwim. My only question is can the strap be lengthened at all. Over your shoulder id like to see it hang a little lower. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/minkoff-bag/page/2#post-1702638 Tue, 26 Jul 2016 12:22:54 +0000 Colette 1702638@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a gorgeous bag in a gorgeous color! And it's big. And it looks great on you. Since you need to carry a lot, you obviously need a big bag, but if you feel like it's overwhelming you, it's not your bag. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/minkoff-bag/page/2#post-1702603 Tue, 26 Jul 2016 11:23:05 +0000 jill58 1702603@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The color is great. Could you post pics without the stuffing and some of your stuff in the bag? I've actually been eyeing the port RM Regan satchel that <b>crazyone</b> posted from ebay. I think the stuffing is really distorting the look of the bag. Someone posted a review on the Nordstrom website that said, "Loved this bag but when I took the paper stuffing out of it, I discovered it doesn't have a structured bottom. Everything falls to one spot in the bag &amp; when you set it down the bag falls into itself. Love the style but if you like a bag that will hold shape &amp; like a structured bag this is not for you." &nbsp;So try it with your laptop and anything else you might carry--then see what you think. I love the look &nbsp;but am someone who also sometimes feels overwhelmed by the size of certain bags. That said I have been carrying a large hobo for years. On the "pro" side, it can carry a huge amount of stuff. The major "con" is that that it can seem like a black hole of disorganization. Maybe a purse organizer would help. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/minkoff-bag/page/2#post-1702600 Tue, 26 Jul 2016 11:16:05 +0000 kerry 1702600@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous bag, gorgeous colour. Agreeing with everyone to try with your own stuff in it vs the stuffing which makes it look a bit too big. I think because you're tiny maybe a big bag that fits your needs should be less structured and more scrunchy (very technical term here) so it can collapse on your body a bit.</p> <p>ETA I want this bag now </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/minkoff-bag/page/2#post-1702490 Tue, 26 Jul 2016 04:20:26 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1702490@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree the bag looks enormous on you. I also think it will look different with your own stuff in it, and that is the real test. I wouldn't rule it out till then. It is beautiful in every other way. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/minkoff-bag/page/2#post-1702483 Tue, 26 Jul 2016 04:12:41 +0000 catseye 1702483@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have been thinking about this bag now that I realized it is tHis big. I wasn't interested at all when I thought it was just a regular hobo bag size.

It's a gorgeous color, though.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/minkoff-bag/page/2#post-1702464 Tue, 26 Jul 2016 03:44:55 +0000 Anonymous 1702464@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm a believer in having a variety of bags but, as Eliza said, this bag looks like it has a wide bottom. That may just be the stuffing. Otherwise it looks like a hobo. I'd like to see it with what you would usually carry in it. Right now it looks like it overpowers you. The wide bottom will knock stuff off shelves or cause people to think you are bumping into them when in tight places and narrow aisles. ( Don't ask how I know this!). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/minkoff-bag/page/2#post-1702461 Tue, 26 Jul 2016 03:39:39 +0000 DonnaF 1702461@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ummm, maybe you need to get a smaller laptop?</p> <p>DD and I struggle with the size issue too since I'm 5' 1" and she's maybe 5' 2" with smaller bones.&nbsp; The bags that Nordies describes as *medium* are about as large as we can go without looking overwhelmed.&nbsp; Perhaps we need an entourage to carry our stuff? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/minkoff-bag/page/2#post-1702444 Tue, 26 Jul 2016 03:06:48 +0000 DJP 1702444@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Perhaps I am blinded by how fantastic you look in the gilet, but I totally agree with Manny in this case. A bag that can accommodate a laptop will never be proportional on a smaller woman. Yes, perhaps it's a bit of a "statement" but to my eye it looks great on you and you wear it perfectly. <br />&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/minkoff-bag/page/2#post-1702429 Tue, 26 Jul 2016 02:41:03 +0000 Suz 1702429@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, <b>Manny</b> -- that's what I will do.&nbsp;</p> <p>By the way, someone asked if it was heavy. I would say no, it is surprisingly light for a leather bag of this size! It feels really nice.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/minkoff-bag/page/2#post-1702426 Tue, 26 Jul 2016 02:37:41 +0000 Maneera 1702426@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Am I the only one who doesn't see a problem here? I actually like this bag ALOT. Especially since you're looking for a bag to carry laptop &amp; tons of other stuff around. You aren't really looking for a *small* bag. </p> <p>I'll confess though. I own 3 bags like this one here and I use them similarly. I also use them for traveling (can fit in so much) and sometimes for street shopping where I'm gonna buy little knick knacks and can just stuff them all in my bag. In summer, I'll even use it for a movie/lunch outing Coz I can comfortably stuff a lightweight shrug inside. </p> <p>Like you, I'm most comfortable with medium sized structured handbags. But this size *has* it's own merits. Just my opinion, though. Put in your own stuff and see how large &amp; heavy the bag feels then. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/minkoff-bag/page/2#post-1702368 Tue, 26 Jul 2016 01:07:31 +0000 Lisa 1702368@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Bummer on the bag, I agree with others, it's a great color but to large and unstructured for your style.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/minkoff-bag/page/2#post-1702366 Tue, 26 Jul 2016 01:02:10 +0000 Beth Ann 1702366@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was hoping to find these in my store, and the colors are indeed amazing, but I immediately noticed their size, and decided they were too big for me.....and I'm not often overwhelmed by the scale of a bag. &nbsp;</p> <p>I am so glad to see this color, however -- yummy!</p> <p>And I'm sad that Danier is gone...... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/minkoff-bag/page/2#post-1702352 Tue, 26 Jul 2016 00:28:17 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1702352@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mr. Gaylene's quote is the best! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/minkoff-bag/page/2#post-1702351 Tue, 26 Jul 2016 00:26:32 +0000 crazyone 1702351@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz, how about this bag?</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.ebay.com/itm/NWT-Rebecca-Minkoff-Port-Regan-Satchel/262515699889?_trksid=p2141725.c100338.m3726&amp;_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIC.MBE%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20150313114020%26meid%3Dfbed47e1a40b4563b50ab32d66f9439d%26pid%3D100338%26rk%3D5%26rkt%3D17%26sd%3D162121410279">http://www.ebay.com/itm/NWT-Re.....25.c100338</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/minkoff-bag/page/2#post-1702350 Tue, 26 Jul 2016 00:26:17 +0000 rachylou 1702350@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love me my Olsen twins...hehe </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/minkoff-bag#post-1702349 Tue, 26 Jul 2016 00:25:05 +0000 Amy 1702349@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's a pretty color and shape, but sooo large it looks like a suitcase </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/minkoff-bag#post-1702347 Tue, 26 Jul 2016 00:20:26 +0000 MrsK 1702347@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Too bad the bag is too big - the colour is perfect for you.

It looks best carried in hand...but I personally have so many bag caveats. I insist on a hands free option, that they are extremely light, that the opening not be smaller than the bag itself, that the computer stand vertical in it for weight distribution... I guess I'm asking, do you have a strong back? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/minkoff-bag#post-1702310 Mon, 25 Jul 2016 23:46:23 +0000 Suz 1702310@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hahaha...I know!!&nbsp;</p> <p>Well, to be honest, we should probably compare all my bags so you can see what I usually carry around. Most are not smaller, but they may look it, due to sharper corners or something.&nbsp;</p> <p>I'll go a bag-off tomorrow, with the MInkoff stuffed with what I'd actually carry vs. the stuffing from the place.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/minkoff-bag#post-1702305 Mon, 25 Jul 2016 23:40:10 +0000 Gaylene 1702305@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's a lot of bag to be hauling around on a daily basis... :)</p> <p>I can never forget Mr. G's reaction when a size 2 friend's DD gave her a large, and very pricey, designer bag as a birthday present. My friend and her husband came to dinner one night--and, of course, her new bag accompanied them. As soon as he had taken their coats, Mr. G frantically gestured to me, and, in a whisper, asked if my friend and her husband were having problems. My puzzled response, "No, why would you think that?", was met with his "Then why will Gail be spending the night at our place?" </p>
