I’m on the fence about this Cheap Monday Big Envelope Bag ($55). I really want to want it, but it’s just too big! I like the idea of taking an envelope clutch and expanding it to a messenger and the unique asymmetrical zipper opening is a nice touch, but the way it fits over the body just looks wrong. Plus the hardware on the adjustable strap looks very weak (I can imagine filling the bag with books and it ripping from the looks of it…). It’s unfortunate too because if the messenger were just a touch smaller it could double as an over-sized clutch (and you wouldn’t have to bother with the cheap strap…). Alas, I’m going to have to conclude that this bag is more of slob than a snob (not to mention, perhaps a bit too appropriately named!).
What do you think about this Cheap Monday messenger? Snob or Slob?
