I have a Vera Bradley tote that I use as a diaper bag and it has more compartments and wider straps. I don't love the way it looks nearly as much, though. And I have small shoulders, if that helps. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/alternates-to-the-longchamp-le-piliage#post-992556 Tue, 06 Aug 2013 09:29:49 +0000 mrs. wagon 992556@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lavender: I have non-existent shoulders as well!!! I have found that bags with the straps that are basically seatbelt belt material stay on my shoulders best. ONE strap, very wide and sturdy. obviously that is not very PRETTY. ;) </p> <p>My non diaper bag bag is the le pliage and I just deal, because I can't stand cross-body styles. So I am subscribing this in case you find the perfect bag for us non-shouldered girls!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/alternates-to-the-longchamp-le-piliage#post-992504 Tue, 06 Aug 2013 09:14:21 +0000 lavender 992504@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: I carry an assortment of bulk items- mainly my loupes and huge case for work, and misc items. I currently have the large one and find size-wise it works best for me and my needs.</p> <p>@T.H.O.U.: You'll be the first to know if I do sell it, but I am a bag hoarder.. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/alternates-to-the-longchamp-le-piliage#post-992434 Tue, 06 Aug 2013 08:55:54 +0000 T.H.O.U. 992434@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lavender: Just saying, hit me up if you are selling! </p> <p>I carry a bag that holds work folders now. Its a brand "solo". It also has a spot for a laptop. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/alternates-to-the-longchamp-le-piliage#post-992393 Tue, 06 Aug 2013 08:46:13 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 992393@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What do you plan to carry in the bag? The Longchamp does not have structure and I find it to be a pitiful bag for work, but I carry my laptop and binder folio. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/alternates-to-the-longchamp-le-piliage#post-992349 Tue, 06 Aug 2013 08:35:29 +0000 lavender 992349@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Looking for a new work tote, currently toting around the Longchamp Le Piliage (large) but can not stand the straps. They always fall off my shoulders (maybe because I have nonexistent shoulders)! Looking for some alternatives for under $100. TIA! </p>
