That's how I would carry mine...have that hangover bit tucked back like Elizabeth has. Makes the bag very user-friendly. Looks like she may have liked Elle Macpherson's Ramona and bought one for herself. The style suits those women.

Do you have the Ramona or the Riasa?
Those knockoffs have been on ebay for weeks. I didn't want to post it here because I don't like giving them ANY publicity but can you believe it? They look like they're miniature versions and people are nabbing them left and right! =|
It makes you feel so crappy!! Like I have been saving up to get the real one and then when you see a whole bunch of fake ones you start to lose interest. I really love and want this bag but would regret it if I got it and everyone has the same thing but like jimmy chew instead of choo lol..
Thanks for the Liz pics.....! I carry mine various ways, with the bit tucked in, but usually i just let it hang over top of the bag without securing it on the tab because that takes work and then i smudge up the metal. I was talking to meowmix about the softness of the leather (I have the navy, she has the stone) and she mentioned that the pigment of the navy makes the leather a bit softer. Others thoughts on this? Ignore the fakes....I haven't seen any in person so who cares

Hi SoCal - I don't have the Ramona but I was in the Jimmy Choo boutique today and saw it in brown - and also saw the Rikki which is the smaller version. I didn't like the smaller version, BTW - thought that the double row of grommets overwhelmed it. Anyway - the Ramona does seem like a bag that you would carry alot and the leather is fabulous. I had bought a navy one but returned it because I thought it looked too huge on me - but that's just me - I just don't feel comfortable with a gigantic bag. I'm also not sold on the shiny hardware on this bag - I think it would look better if it was antiqued, although I thought the shiny looked good on the lime green Riasa that I saw. So - now that you didn't ask my opinion - you got it anyway
. Can you try it out and then return it? Let us know what you decide!hey SoCal I have the bag in navy as does missfroufrou and a few others I think. Personally I love it because I schlep a lot of stuff around plus I love big bags. I'm quite short as well (about 5'2 or 5'3) and don't find that it overwhelms me. It comes down to personal taste though. I LOVE the shiny gold hardware on it and think that the gold would compliment the brown nicely. I carry mine every day and thus far it wears quite well. And I'm tough on my bags as well. I throw them around and dig and scrap against things. I carry mine on a daily basis and have been uber happy with the fact that i can carry it by it's handles without it dragging on the ground, can carry it over my shoulder or just resting in the crook of my arm. But it depends on your personal needs. Hope that helped 
I have it in stone and love the bag. I've carried it for two weeks and only switched today because I have on a turquoise suede jacket and didn't want to take a chance it would rub off.
I love the shiny hardware. It adds a lot to the bag. I get so many compliments.
The bag holds a lot. But it's heavy. I think it's heavier than the paddy IMO.
I agree with Meg about the versatility of the bag....you can carry on arm, shoulder, in hand. It's a very comfy, easy to use.

Amalie it's nowhere near heavy IMO. I think the Paddy and the Stam are close in weight but not the Ramona. It's very light. What were you carrying in it?
haha my ramona is heavy. I carry so much junk in it. I've held the stam but not with stuff in it. There is a lot of leather with this bag (in fact one of my housemates says wherever i bring it, it makes the whole house smell of cow 
) that adds to it's weight, but it's not noticably heavy
) that adds to it's weight, but it's not noticably heavyI know this sounds crazy, but I do not buy handbags from shoe designers. However, I will buy shoes from handbag designers. I know its sounds crazy but... I most likely would never purchase a Jimmy Choo handbag, but own Jimmy Choo shoes. Anyone else?

Well, I don't have that rule per se but I see your point in that I think it took until now for Choo to come up with a handbag that wasn't an abomination.
