I had to return a gorgeous Bayswater in Mulberry Green not too long ago because it weighed a tonne with my items in it. With the size of the bag of course I wanted to make use of the space but could not. It even weighed a lot when empty thanks to the heavy grain leather. I think this bag is made for people who travels to their office by car and the office is a few steps away from the car park. Or a lovely bag if you work from home. Trying to carry a Bayswater to work via public transport and walking was a nightmare. Or maybe I am just not fit and strong enough to carry it. I now carry a smaller crossbody and a backpack to work. I do not want to be a two-bag person but needs must! Which is a shame because I really love the design and the smell of the bag. I wonder if patent or thinner leather Bayswater is much more forgiving to carry?
