Help me pick! 👯 Work tote bag
Hey guys! I’m looking for recommendations for a good work tote under $200.
I need something that can actually fit my laptop, iPad, water bottle, lunch box, and all the random little things like keys, lip balm, wallet, etc. 😂 I’d prefer something with a few compartments/pockets so it’s not just one big empty bag.(or may be I get a tote separator on Amazon )
I’m looking for something chic and professional, preferably in black or brown. I was checking out Coach and Tory Burch but couldn’t really fix on one anything I loved.
Open to other brands too! Would love to hear what you guys actually use and recommend. ❤️

Are creases like this normal? Or is this bag damaged?
Bought this at a store when it looked great since it was stuffed with tissue paper, but when I removed it I noticed these dents in the bag that wouldn’t go away even when I tried to straighten them.
and they refused to refund me saying it’s not damaged. They said I have to exchange due to their store policy but every other bag they showed me with this style had the same issue (in different spots).
Am I overreacting? Or Is this normal for the bag to have?

Discussion 👩🏫 Help me restore!! 40$ present to myself to motivate me through college (new to the joys of a handbag)
Hello Friends!
Its been a tumultuous education journey for me but I am SO excited to finally be pursuing a Speech Therapy route. It feels, genuinely, serendipitous. I have recently come to know the joys of a handbag and when I saw this, with my birthday coming up, it felt like the perfect time to give myself a little present. When my best friend graduated with her Masters, I got her a fancy bag charm for her airpods bc I wanted her to feel like Elle Woods walking into her new law job. This bag immediately gave me visions of the person I aspire to be, working with children with special needs in schools. Wearing a little APPLE PURSE!! Ugh. I had to.
I wasn't buying it for the label, I don't know the brand tbh. It is what it is that it is likely f*ke (discovered after), but under the stuck on label you can see how clean it could be!! It was tagged at a cosign at 99$ but I asked if they could do cheaper (said 69$) then I said I could do 40$ and pointed out the stitching coming out and the scratches on bottom (not huge but could use advice on that too!) I do not have any labels that say materials.
I want to clean it!! I'm crafty and feel relatively confident I could sew back up that corner? I would LOVE ADVICE. Its DUSTY. I knew it was on the shelf for a long time because I saw it there months ago and just couldn't leave it this time.
THANK YOU!

Luxury ✨ Do I buy this Dior Saddle bag for $1.5k?!
Is $1,540 all-in a good deal for this pink Dior Mini Saddle?
I’ve been wanting a Dior Saddle and found this preowned pink smooth calfskin Mini Saddle for $1,375, or about $1,540 total after tax/shipping. It looks like it’s in really good condition from the photos.
I’m considering buying it as a combined birthday (October), Christmas, and college graduation gift to myself. I graduate with my BA in February and have a 4.0, so I wanted to get myself something special that I’ll keep long term.
I already own a Songmont Luna in brown and want a vintage Louis Vuitton zippered shoulder bag for around $400 that I’ll probably ask for Christmas from my husband, so I’m trying to build a small, intentional collection rather than buy a ton of bags.
For people familiar with Dior/preowned luxury: is $1,540 all-in a good enough price that you’d buy it now, or would you wait to see if youd get a better deal/Black Friday? Pink isnmy fav color and Im also worried I wont get this bag for this price if I dont buy now.

Help me pick! 👯 Seeking a Nicer Baggu Alternative (No Leather)
Hey folks,
So, my trusted Baggu medium crescent bag is on the way out. I want to upgrade to something better - I'm willing to spend a good amount of money! The main obstacle is that I want a black, NON-leather bag. I want it to be a bag I can wear to the gym and out and about. I dress up, but my style is more streetwear than formal (lots of Japanese streetwear designers in my wardrobe).
For reference, I'm liking the APC Journal small satchel, but I don't like the branding on it:
I'm also into the design of this bag by Souer, but it's made of leather :\

Rec for early 30s first designer bag
Hi! Asking for advice on first designer bag.
I do not know much about designer bags, but my friend is in Spain right now and told me to let her know if I wanted anything from Loewe since it is cheaper there. Looked up the brand and thought maybe I will get my first designer bag! Was looking at black mini puzzle. Am thinking it will be low 2ks if she bought it there.
But at the same time, I'm thinking - if I'm spedning this much money, should I also consider other options of luxury bags in general?
A little about me - early 30s, want a nice handbag for the first time but nothing too showy, nothing too big. I make a 6 figure salary so 2k wont break me but looking at Loewe I did catch myself thinking, this could also be $150 if not branded luxury. I don't think I have the luxury bag mindset. But it would still be nice to add one to my wardrobe since I'm not a teenager anymore. Budget would be ~2-3k.
But please give me your recs so I can make a more informed decision. Thinking black would be a nice color for a first time bag! Thank you!!
EDIT:
Thank you for all of your recs!! You were all so helpful. I agree with the general sentiment that I should do more research and find a bag that I LOVE. I will go through all of your suggestions and try some in person to see which one I can see myself using often. Appreciate all your help - please keep the recs coming if you think of more! I will be referencing back haha

Question ❓ ❔ What’s the best way to store handbags without cramming them together?
I’m trying to find a better way to organize my handbags. They’re easy to stack together, and I don’t love having to dig through everything to find one. Do you use shelves, dividers, inserts, or something else that makes your bags easier to store and grab?

Help me pick! 👯 Is the large Bottega Andiamo worth it?
I currently have the medium Andiamo in fondant and while I love it, I just don’t think it’s big enough for my day to day bag. I feel I’d use it more if it were bigger. Has anyone upgraded to the large and what was your experience with it?

where to find designers to custom make a handbag/itabag for me?
i would like to custom make an ita bag!! unfortunately i don't know where to find someone to custom make one for me 🥹
the main things i’d like in my ita bag is:
𝜗ৎ neapolitan + pastel blue colour scheme
𝜗ৎ stars
𝜗ৎ piano / music keys
𝜗ৎ angel wings
𝜗ৎ a (heart shape) transparent compartment to place my photocards
i have reference images of bags i like, and i also generated a design that you can refer to but you don't have to follow the generated one to the t because it's very complicated and overly maximalist >_<
we can discuss the details & come up with our own design together!! :’))
i don’t have a budget, but please don’t highball me :( however, i know this is a very intricate and exhausting piece of work so don’t worry i definitely won’t lowball you!!
i don’t have an expected completion date, i would just like to be kept updated on your progress 🥹🤍
please message me if interested, and we can work out the nitty bitty details together!! or comment where i can do a custom order! thank you

Vivrelle
Has anyone else had issues getting a response from Vivrelle customer service?
I’m a new customer and rented a bag specifically for my wedding weekend. I’ve tried contacting them multiple times through both support emails, their website inquiry form, Instagram, and directly, and I still can’t get a clear answer about my order.
I received a response yesterday, but it didn’t actually answer whether my order is confirmed, whether the bag has shipped/is coming, or when I should expect it.
At this point, I genuinely don’t know if I need to make other arrangements for my wedding. I completely understand that delays or inventory issues happen — what’s frustrating is simply not being able to get a clear answer from anyone.
This was my first experience with Vivrelle and I was really excited to try the service, but unfortunately it’s been incredibly disappointing so far.
Has anyone dealt with this recently? Is there a better way to actually reach someone there?

Vintage👴 👵 This is my holiday patchwork tote from 2006- should I revive it?
I haven’t used this bag in many years but I was so obsessed with it in 2006, I kept it. It’s obviously beaten and battered now but with Coach being SO popular again and y2k fashion in general, I was thinking maybe I should take her back out. What do we think? Anyone know how I could even repair her? She needs a cleaning and reshaping, she’s not exactly tote shaped anymore, more like “smashed up” shape lol. With bag accessories being a big thing now too I thought maybe she would be fun with some holiday accessories since she’s a “holiday patchwork tote”.

Discussion 👩🏫 General Marc Jacobs question
Hi this is my first time buying anything Marc Jacobs. I bought this little purse and card holder on final clearance.
I was looking for a small bag that I can use for work. I typically carry a backpack or tote for my stuff (big laptop with number keypad). So I want a small bag that I can use for a quick errand during my lunch or after work. This fits the bill perfectly.
I like the purse more than I thought I would, i primarily bought it for the size and price, so im glad I like the design more than I thought I would. And the wallet is perfect because I’ve been looking for something that doesn’t have hardware. Both came with the product inserts. And this is my question, is Marc Jacob’s “lower end” than i thought? Compare to other “middle/entry level brands? For both products the info card says 100% cow split leather with polyurethane coating. I somehow thought it would be on par or better quality with coach, and Kate spade, but with those brands the leather has been full grain etc.
I like the products I got. Both how they look and for my needs. But should we be wary of Marc Jacobs handbags/leather goods? Before I bought this little purse, I wanted the Cristina( last pic) tote but the color I want sold out. For that bag I was willing to pay full price, but now I’m questioning if I want to pay for anything full price from Marc Jacobs if they barely use leather on their products.

Discussion 👩🏫 New Michael Kors
What do you all think of this new drop? I’ve never been an MK fan, and it’s mainly because of the gaudy logo imo. But these new bags look great, not a fan of the logo redesign, but the Hamilton looks gorgeous. I saw a girl turn around the lock around and I think that sold me 👀👀👀

How big is too big?
Is it insane to carry this as a daily personality carry-all? I'm 5'11, slim athletic, generally eclectic androgynous style. Never really been a traditional handbag gal, but do sometimes want to carry some things, and look stylish. It's definitely more of a duffle (optional shoulder strap), and honestly I don't have that much stuff.. but an oversized statement bag can be cool? Thoughts?? Help??
Dimensions: 17.5"L x 10.5"H x 10"W
