For those of you who have the Method Tote from Merrill: Can you carry it with the handles over your shoulder? Can someone measure the handle for me? Do you love it?

Thanks
 
I have it and I really like it. I don't really carry it over my shoulders (especially if there is a lot in it). The handles could be a little longer in my opinion. I can't measure them because it is in my DH car. But I do like it.
 
I have it. I love it! It looks professional. It holds lots. It's magnificent.

Unfortunately, I can't measure the handles for you. It's at home, and I'm not. However, I can tell you that I'm a little less than 5' 2" tall. When I carry it in my hand (hanging straight down at my side), it clears the ground by an inch or so. I don't put it over my shoulder because I don't like to carry things that way.
 
I love mine!
I carry mine over my shoulders all the time.
I have 3 kids, the youngest being 2, and I am able to carry my MT and his diaper bag on one arm.
Let me see the measurements,,,gotta get it from the truck.
 
I have it but have not used it yet... but the handles don't seem long enough to sling on my shoulders and that's how I like to carry my bags! :(
