My hubby went ahead and got me this bag, which I've been thinking about since May
He got the giant sak which is 18.5"x5"x14.5". Now I am stating to think maybe this is too big. The XL is 15"x5"x12". I have a Tano oversized shopper which is 14"x5"x13", which I love the size of, but I can't throw say my daughter sweater and my daytimer in at the same time. I could do that with the Giant Dooney, but is it silly to carry such a large bag?
i don't think its silly if you need a big bag! Maybe it would be silly to carry such a large bag if you only have a lipstick and a wallet in it, but if you want to lug your stuff around in it, its perfect. Did you want this bag to serve that purpose though? It might look silly carrying a huge bag around if you go to a bar for example.
Hmmm. That is a tough call, but I would trade it in for the XL. This is a beautiful, classic bag, and I think the slightly smaller one would get more use in the long run (when you don't have baby stuff to carry). It's big enough that you can carry quite a lot now, but it won't be "empty" without more stuff down the road.
Also, carrying a baby and a big heavy bag sounds like it could lead to muscle tightness and back pain. I'm a total wimp about stuff like that, though, so maybe not a problem for you.
Gorgeous bag, btw! The hubby did good.
