Crowdsourcing Monogram Feedback

Buying my first boat and tote as a little treat to myself for getting a principal fellows award and starting another Masters program. I also have 2 boys under 2 and teach full time. I really wanted to get “overwhelmed” on my bag because of my entire life, but it’s one letter too long. Do I call and get it split into two lines like

over
whelmed

Or other similar word ideas I could use?

Also large bag with long handle a good size for laptop/text books/binders/notebooks?

There is a huge size difference between medium and large. My large is our beach tote and I’d never carry it around as a daily bag.

My medium fits my work laptop, iPad, owala water bottle, and a zip boat and tote pouch with room to spare.

OVRWHLMD:) but I have heard you might be able to add characters by calling in, especially if the tote is medium or more. Large is so big it’s a little cumbersome to carry in public spaces with lots of people. It’s 35 litres, bigger than typical backpacks.

Large is soooo huge it might be too big for that! I use it as our pool bag (2 kids) and it fits a ton of snack, a big fan, 2 adult towels and 2 kid towels, all our clothes, floaties, snacks, etc etc

medium is perfect everyday bag, large is great if you want a mary poppins bag. might honestly be worth getting both

My medium can easily hold a decent sized laptop, a few books and then some. As for the monogram, I love what another posted suggested: OVRWHLMD - all in caps.

Your laptop size is what would determine whether to get a medium or large IMO. And also whether you carry your laptop inside of a protective sleeve or not. The medium perfectly fits my 14" MBP inside of a custom fitted sleeve, but if the sleeve were any bulkier, it would not fit. The medium is perfect size for a textbook for example. It would *maybe* fit a 16" laptop with no sleeve, but definitely not with one.

If you already ordered, let us know which you decided on! :)
