Hi! I am 5’1 with a short torso. I really like the look of the Bowler but I’m worried the straps will be too long. Can any petite ladies around my height share their opinion of how the bag fits their body? I’d be grateful for pictures of it being worn as well. Thanks!
u/moch111 requested a what fits in the new DA PA and many had complained that its smaller than the new model PA currently available.
I have compared it with my 2001 Mono PA (my 25 year old ride or die) which is the classic model PA. The new DA is not as tall as the 01, but the base is wider. However! The interior lining isn’t attached to the canvas like it is on the 01 model, it’s a sewn in pocket style lining that is not flush to the interior. Not terrible, but it definitely has a different feel than what I’m used to for this particular bag and I prefer the old style where the lining is part of the canvas in one piece. The shoulder strap is also longer than the original, which is nice! I had previously bought the strap that comes with the new model PA (the one that’s stitched down the center) that I’ve been using for my Roses PA so I do like the extra length. All in all it holds about the same as the 01 model.
Funny enough I had a DA PA years ago that I foolishly sold for a comically low price (by today’s standards) and I’ve been regretting it. So I do plan to keep it.
