My madewell transport tote arrived today. And it totally doesn't work for. Hits at my boob and is too big to hit up that high, So it's going back and I am back to the drawing board as a medium sized, cross body, every day bag. Aw man, sorry! Botkier is running a sale and they have a lot of cute crossbodies in both neutral and fun colors. I've been looking at the Cobble Hill and the Crosby. www.botkier.com/collections/crossbodyI WAS JUST LOOKING AT BOTKIER. You're reading my mind!!

Does anyone have the DD Alynn in the smallest size with the cross body strap? Does it fit a laptop?

Taitai I have been obsessed with the Soft Karl since you first mentioned it. I think it is going to have to be my first bag purchase of 2021. It's so different than what I normally like, but I love it.

Taitai I LOVE that PS one! I’m also really loving the Boyy Wonton, so thanks for sharing that, I wouldn’t have ever thought of it without this place!

If you are referring to my accidental “Love you too”...no, that is Bob (whose actual name is not Bob, but a similarly generic name). I want absolutely no version of a Bob. He’s still quite terrible. Karl is a VERY SERIOUS guy who sends me extremely formal emails.

You’ll have to be careful when talking about your bag at work, or you might end up in front of HR. “My soft Karl is coming today!” “You won’t believe what I can fit inside soft Karl.” “Soft Karl lives on a special shelf in my closet.”

If it could it would be my perfect bag.... Large enough crossbody for day to day running around with a kid, just big enough for my small laptop...it might be what I try next regardless. It's been on my bag list for a while.

Taitai I lurked the other bag thread and I've been obsessed with the wonton! I'm saving up for it. I love the Malbec colour but black is probably more practical.

We will have to be very specific from now to avoid being rude to human Karl. For example: “When I said I found that lost pair of sunglasses in my soft Karl, I was referring specifically to my purse and not anyone’s human coworker.”

As funny as soft Karl sounds, it’s still far better than hard Karl 😁

I love this thread and I’m dying at the soft Karl comments, lol 😂 🤣. I’m also really glad I didn’t know a Karl in real life. kittyriot That green quilted MK crossbody is a fantastic bag!! It looks amazing on you, and I love it so much. Congrats!! Sorry about the Madewell - I know you will find the perfect work bag this year! mintyblueair The malbec color for the wonton is also lovely, and I was close to choosing that one. What sold me on the black is how the gold hardware “lock” on the handle really pops with the black. It also just looked so classic and timeless. Either option is great though!

Soft Karl sounds like it belongs in Urban Dictionary. Well Hot Karl is and it’s my first thought whenever someone talks about the soft Karl, even though the bag is gorgeous. Warning: if you do urban dictionary what a hot Karl is, it is at your own risk. It’s gross. You’ve been warned.

Does anyone have the DD Alynn in the smallest size with the cross body strap? Does it fit a laptop? I’ve held them before and it would only fit a very small laptop (like one smaller than an iPad). The medium just barely fits the old MacBook Air. I think I’m going to have to pass, mine is a del tablet with a detachable keyboard, so I was sorta hoping someone might say, a small 13 inch, sure. But I get it. What I really want is just a decent sized, neutral crossbody that will hit at the hip on a 5’6 woman. In leather. Too small won’t serve me running around with DD, but I’m not looking for a huge tote either. If anyone has ideas on that in between size, throw them at me!

I wandered through Nordstrom as I returned some shoes and a sales person insisted that I look at and try on this YSL tote. It’s really gorgeous.

I have a 15 inch laptop and had to get the large DD allyn tote so that it will fit. You can probably get the medium one for a 13 inch laptop but it won’t be a crossbody. Are you looking for a crossbody that will fit a 13 inch laptop? Or just a medium sized crossbody?

I first saw a mini camera with a chain strap in black patent and then this one. He pitched it as a great every day bag and work tote bc I don’t usually carry my computer.
