It's on the small side, but big enough to hold a phone, sunglasses, and keys. It has a slight structure to it.\nI took 1 star off because of the strap/handle. It's adjustable, but there's no loop to hold the extra length of the strap if you shorten the handle. So if you want to wear it with a shorter handle, there's all this strap dangling about. You can work around this by reversing the way the strap sits in the buckle, so the length tucks into the purse compartment, but then the cute gold buckle doesn't show. A bit disappointing.","reviewer_name":"Laura C."}],"target_countries":"US","canonical_url":"https://www.simons.ca/en/women-accessories/bags/shoulder-bags/smooth-minimalist-baguette-bag--16755-16165?colourId=1","deep_research":{"dimensions":{"competitive_budget_option":{"title":"Value comparison with similar budget baguette bags","entries":{"smooth_and_croc_both_49":"Simons lists a croc-embossed baguette right alongside this one for the identical $49, so the smooth faux leather is not a cost-cutting measure — it's a stylistic variant offered at the same price, letting you choose texture without a wallet penalty.","2_inch_depth_vs_plt_s_1_inch":"Where the PLT flap-over baguette offers only a 1-inch depth that forces a flat-lay of your essentials, the Simons bag's 2-inch depth lets you stack a small wallet and a phone with room to spare, roughly doubling the usable volume in the same compact footprint.","49_retail_vs_plt_s_70_49_sale":"At $49 CAD as its regular price, the Simons bag costs the same as the PrettyLittleThing flap-over baguette on a 30% markdown (originally $70), so you're getting the same wallet-friendly entry without the inflated MSRP — this is the actual everyday price, not a limited-time deal.","grab_handle_matches_79_95_simons_baguette":"A grab handle is an uncommon find on a $49 baguette, and its presence here mirrors the carry options of Simons' own $79.95 tubular braided baguette, bringing a touch of the brand's more elevated design language to an entry-level price."},"entry_quotes":{"smooth_and_croc_both_49":[{"url":"https://www.stylight.ca/Item/Simons/Womens-Smooth-Minimalist-Baguette-Bag-White--7bb9cc21-1221-5e50-9532-4ec4e3bd8e13/","quote":"Simons Womens Solid croc baguette bag White"},{"url":"https://www.stylight.ca/Item/Simons/Womens-Smooth-Minimalist-Baguette-Bag-White--7bb9cc21-1221-5e50-9532-4ec4e3bd8e13/","quote":"$49.00"}],"2_inch_depth_vs_plt_s_1_inch":[{"url":"https://www.prettylittlething.ca/product/pu-flap-over-baguette-shoulder-bag_plt14091?colour=black","quote":"Approx Depth: 2.5cm/1\""}],"49_retail_vs_plt_s_70_49_sale":[{"url":"https://www.stylight.ca/Item/Simons/Womens-Smooth-Minimalist-Baguette-Bag-White--7bb9cc21-1221-5e50-9532-4ec4e3bd8e13/","quote":"$49.00"},{"url":"https://www.prettylittlething.ca/product/pu-flap-over-baguette-shoulder-bag_plt14091?colour=black","quote":"$49.00$70.00Save 30%"}],"grab_handle_matches_79_95_simons_baguette":[{"url":"https://www.stylight.ca/Item/Simons/Womens-Tubular-Handle-Braided-Baguette-Bag-Black--41a3bfb1-3824-54a7-8579-1de173d608ba/","quote":"Grab or shoulder handles"}]},"entry_sources":{"smooth_and_croc_both_49":["https://www.stylight.ca/Item/Simons/Womens-Smooth-Minimalist-Baguette-Bag-White--7bb9cc21-1221-5e50-9532-4ec4e3bd8e13/"],"2_inch_depth_vs_plt_s_1_inch":["https://www.simons.ca/en/women-accessories/bags/shoulder-bags/smooth-minimalist-baguette-bag--16755-16165?colourId=1","https://www.prettylittlething.ca/product/pu-flap-over-baguette-shoulder-bag_plt14091?colour=black"],"49_retail_vs_plt_s_70_49_sale":["https://www.stylight.ca/Item/Simons/Womens-Smooth-Minimalist-Baguette-Bag-White--7bb9cc21-1221-5e50-9532-4ec4e3bd8e13/","https://www.prettylittlething.ca/product/pu-flap-over-baguette-shoulder-bag_plt14091?colour=black"],"grab_handle_matches_79_95_simons_baguette":["https://www.simons.ca/en/women-accessories/bags/shoulder-bags/smooth-minimalist-baguette-bag--16755-16165?colourId=1","https://www.stylight.ca/Item/Simons/Womens-Tubular-Handle-Braided-Baguette-Bag-Black--41a3bfb1-3824-54a7-8579-1de173d608ba/"]}},"faux_leather_material_care":{"title":"Identifying the faux leather type and how to prevent peeling","entries":{"mild_cleaning_only":"A mixture of mild dish soap and warm water, applied with a soft microfiber cloth, is the golden rule for cleaning this bag;
