@@amberthatgirl2001 I think pretty much the same as before (when it was just in preview status on VB site)... that it has what are (to me) major flaws, esp. in contrast to the MSSB: lack of metal hinge hardware for short handles to lay flat & I loathe that material used on long strap. As others have noted, the outside pockets seem more decorative than truly functional, bc of how they all compete for the same finite space and that leaves little room left over in main compartment. I almost never ever use "hip" pockets on any bags bc they don't feel secure to me and take away interior space that I need instead. Does it seem moderately charming ? Sure...it resembles the discontinued featherweight line-but on a practical level, I find this to be a letdown, and the changes they made (from the MSSB) make me think it was just to make the bag cheaper, in ways that I find disappointing. Will I buy this (or the large version) ? I don't know...the handles & straps both annoy me a lot, and my opinion is that they could and should've done better job with those features.

@@amberthatgirl2001 Well...I finally caved and got the Small Multi Strap Tote after scrutinizing photos & the couple videos I could find online (incl. yours). Only reason I capitulated to buying it was bc the recent (not the newest, but from a couple months ago) PT pattern Immersed Blooms wasn't released in my PT styles of choice (MSSB & SVT are my favorites). It arrived yesterday & I used it once...so far I'm feeling "in between-y" about it. I adore the colors in the pattern & like the motifs...not to mention, the critters on the liner pattern are hidden, which makes them a fun challenge/puzzle to find. Am not sold on this bag style-don't think I'd buy another, though will keep this one solely due to how much I enjoy looking at a larger piece in this pattern/color scheme. Don't recall if you noted having a reaction or opinion to Immersed Blooms-if so, what did you think/feel about it ? Know you're not into VB these days, but I'd like to hear if you had anything to say about this one.

This was a really informative video and it actually confirmed my first feelings I had seeing this new model MSSB. I already loved the original MSSB and in my opinion the new model is a fair way off with its design. You did great, Amber, by showing us the re-packing of this model bc what caught my eye immediately was the funny way how that fabric looks. It could be the lighting but when the bag is being filled up it looks like the quilting seems to 'fade'... the diamonds seem to dissapear into bigger pieces together, without the threading in between. It's visible at the top near the zipper too since the fabric is much tighter there. And then the whole outer look of that new model: "messy" is the first word that came into my mind. Those floppy, fluffy straps, the busy-looking stripes from the straps over the front in combination with those side bags with zippers. It's all a bit too much for me personally 😞 And no silverware, that's a huge thumbs down: especially with those weird looking straps... they look really padded and rich but when you pick the bag up, the air disappears and they look flat. And the crossbody strap from that plastic stuff that you mostly see at camping equipment. I don't know, it's just those details that makes the bag looks cheap and like 13-in-a-dozen (as we say in Dutch).... 😞 I know that some sports brands had a line of sports bags looking just like this fluff-stuff: lots of air and no room inside. Also those strange looking bulges on the top hanging over those side pockets: looks like my muffin top over my jeans 🙂 On a positive note though: that green colour is lovely and makes the bag at least look stylish-ish. But compared to your Lavender one, that's a winner for sure! Thanks very much for your trouble and outstanding review, really good!

Girl you caught more details about this bag style then I did! 😅 I'll be honest with you... When I got this one (Olive Leaf) I wasn't a huge fan of the style in general. But, I loved the color so much that I could deal with it, ya know? THEN, when I got that new one in the Tiger Lily Blue Oar, I was so irritated at myself! I already knew I wasn't a fan, but I wanted it in the regular MSSB so badly, and of course they didn't release it in that. So I settled for this style. I knew better. 😒🤦♀️ When you said "messy" you hit the nail on the head!! That bag looks SO messy in prints!! I also have to tell you that I spit my coffee out bc I laughed when you said the bits hanging off the edges at the top were like your muffin top. 🤣🤣🤣 I can relate. 🤣 Apologies for my delayed reply, too! YT hasn't been notifying me of my comments so I'm missing tons of them lately. 🤦♀️😒

Great video. I’m currently using my small MST in olive leaf and here are my thoughts: the outside pockets are not functional for me and seem to be for looks only. I wish there was an external cellphone pocket. The short straps are odd/puffy and will hopefully not deteriorate with use. I love the color and like that this one is a bit smaller, but it’s not better than the regular MST.

I'm so glad you found my channel! 😊 I've used a few different ones... a regular Vera Tote, a Miller Tote, a regular weekender, duffels, and then some of the off shoot tote bags. Out of all of them, I'd have to say my favorite for carry on is probably the weekender or compact weekender (just depending on the size regulations of the airline you're flying with 😊). I like them bc they're plenty big enough to hold a couple of changes of clothes, all my tech, jewelry, toiletries, valuables, etc., everything I want to keep with me instead of checking them. AND it still has the longer adjustable strap that the other totes don't have. Which I find invaluable for the sake of comfort when I have to lug it longer distances. Then, once I have my checked luggage, it has a trolley strap, so I can just slide it over the handle of my roller bag. I hope that helps a bit! 😊 But definitely check the size restrictions for your airline before choosing your bag.
