I have admired this bag for months and finally decided to buy it in black. I like the simple, minimalist look. However, once I got to the store, I decided to take out the paper stuffing and add my belongings (wallet, book, sunglasses) to get a feel for the bag. The bag was really comfortable and light, but when I looked in the mirror, I noticed the weight of my belongs made the bag sag in the middle, and completely lose it's shape. I could live with the disappointment of not having any real interior pockets (I don't know why Longchamp bothers with the half open one they put in, it's obviously useless), but a saggy tote just looks sloppy and not what I was looking for. Also, the flap snap is not magnet, so I could see myself often being lazy and 'not' snapping it; which would further add to an overall sloppy look. For the price, there are better bags out there.

A Magic Bag

I really like this bag a lot. Primarily because it is lightweight and therefore does not put any stress on my neck. I called it "a magic bag" because it seemed to expand to accomodate whatever I put in it. The amount of stuff it holds is amazing. The only issue I have is that the bag kept slipping off my shoulder. I tried criss-crossing the straps and pushing the bag back towards my back. But nothing helped.

hazelnut looks cheap

I bought this tote in the larger size in Hazelnut and loved it *except* that the leather trim on this particular version is shiny and looks really cheap. I would have loved this bag with matte brown leather.
