[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Interested in this bag and LOVE my OMG. I ordered similar from Cuyana and it was just too heavy and big when fully packed. Would be fine for a road trip, but not for schlepping through an airport on top of a larger bag (was looking for a supplemental carry-on when I want to check a bag and bring a carry-on that rides on top). The Cataline Deluxe looks like it might fit the bill. The Catalina regular looks like you would run into the same issue with my Cuyana I returned- too heavy to haul around.[/quote]

Can you clarify? What is good not for schlepping through the airport- the OMG? It looks like it's designed to do that? If the OMG isn't good for an airpotr, what 's it good for?

Sorry, that was confusing. I travel 5 days a week and use the OMG as my primary purse. It is great for going through the airport! I also always have a laptop and a ton of stuff with me, on the go to different client sites packing my workspace. It works like a dream for that. I particularly love the outside pocket where I can easily organize and store everything I need to access (passport, photo ID and corporate card, wallet, cell, etc) very quickly when I am in an airport, checking into a hotel, whatever.  I can have my hands on the essentials in seconds. Maybe it's a little diaper baggish? IDK, I don't care. I'm a traveling consultant and I see this bag all the time with fellow consultants, so I sort of embrace the function over fashion on this one.

What I have been looking for is more of a 2-3 day weekend bag. Sometimes, I'll be away from home for 2-3 weeks and I just can't QUITE get everything into my suitcase. I'd still carry the OMG as my daily work purse, but would like a bag for overflow or to have for 2-4 day stretches when I don't want to lug everything to a third place (this is complicated). I bought this from Cuyana:

This was just too big. If you packed efficiently it would be VERY heavy to carry for anything more than a roadtrip, imho. It just seemed like it was easily the size of a rolling carry-on, if not bigger, and would be heacy to carry for long periods. 
The Catalina Deluxe might hit this sweet spot in terms of size, so have been checking it out...[/quote]
