Yes or No?

Is it too large through the chest? Shoulders and sleeves look spot on, but it looks like there's a bit of extra fabric from the bottom of the armholes to the button. That could be angle, (amazing) picture, or fit though.

Need a new bag that works in the office as well as with RO leathers. Could use some direction.

^ Try a guidi's instead. Cant go wrong with a Guidi bag or a MA+ for that matter.

[michael_kard]

I disagree, if a Guidi can work in the office then that renders the concept of office completely meaningless.

8bpc, check out Isaac Reina for very high quality/sober looking bags that are also very interesting in their construction. Also, this season's Lanvin briefcase is badass. Yohji makes very nice bags as well.

I disagree though. there are many Guidi bags that will fit into the corporate world. In fact I think it might even create some good attention.

I disagree completely. I work in a very big open plan office, and I've used a guidi q20 as my work bag everyday for 3 years, and its perfect....not just for work but as an all round shoulder bag.....and it works great with leathers 8bpc.
I always prefer a shoulder messenger style over a briefcase or tote.

The q20 is the middle size between the q10 and q15 (both of which I owned and sold...for being too small and too large). Q20 is perfection. One for keeps. I custom ordered it with a longer shoulder strap as the one on the original was too short.

I appreciate all of the suggestions. The bag doesn't need to be suit and tie appropriate, just something that would work well with trousers and a button up. I tend to avoid the messenger style as I don't like the wrinkles they can cause, and prefer a tote that has decent sized handles that allows it to be tossed on the shoulder when necessary.

What's wrong w/ looking like Mr. Tumnus?

Just picked this RO tote up for the office. Super happy w/ it, though I'm always happy w/ my RO bags:

but if you get bored with it, you can jazz it up by tying a silk scarf around the handle in a jaunty bow...so versatile.

[Patroklus]

kids these days, we put those little fur tails on em

[Dane]

hey...I've got, like, 60 pink Coach scraves, and I can only wear 2, maybe 3 max in one outfit, what's a lady to do?

[Patroklus]

sew them together into a dress so you can wear them all at once
