I just give the cover a little wiggle to get it fully in to the rear pocket on the Mia Cara.

I could back to owning a Mia if they changed to a true A5 or I did a design like yours. <br /><br />I love VDS for the customization. For that reason, I'm getting most things from them. <br /><br />Congrats on your lovely binder. I like the bag as well.

So I always imagined that how I'm using it was what the designer intended. i.e. to remove that part and use it on its own. Otherwise what is the point of having it removable!

I, too, love that design, but it seems a bit intimidating due to its heft and size. But you've got my wheels turning now.

So, I took the plunge, and asked Petra for a pebbly finish in black. Well, I'm not disappointed. S. Yateshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10090768259204661770noreply@blogger.com
