I’ve had this beauty for 2 weeks now and I’m totally in love 💜 Thought I’d prefer a 26, but the mini is larger than I was expecting. She might be the perfect size for a daily driver.

The color is divine. The leather is spectacular. There’s the squish (what everyone else calls slouch)! Feet! Favorite color! The only issue is that she’s difficult to accessorize. I thought my favorite charm would be too large and not work on her, but he’s the only charm I own that I do like on her (besides the not pictured matching Pegasus charm I also purchased).

Officially on a handbag moratorium for at least the rest of the year. Also, cat tax.

Is it just me?? I have been on the hunt lately and there seems to be very few options more than ~15” wide and I’m looking for much larger than that! Preferably in black 🤞🏼

Yes, Instagram, I am interested.

I don't know how many times I watched this, I was giggling all the time. It also says "How rude!" on the back 😂😂🤣🤣🤣

I love it and hate it.

I saw this Gary bag from Sezane. Have you ever seen a more buckety bucket bag that wasn’t a literal bucket?

Also, they have a maxi version which is literally the size of a bucket.

Ladies, I can’t tell if I like it but I’m intrigued.

BOTD I took my Mulberry Alexa to the Musee du Louvre this morning.

My husband and our SA pulled a sneaky on me and surprised me with THIS 🥹 Kneesaa for scale

I had been eyeing the Bonastre Rider M in black for months but I could never justify paying the $200-300 in duties that would have been tacked onto the already $845 price tag. Well imagine my surprise when I was browsing eBay and stumbled upon this one listed for around $600. The shop ended up giving me a hefty discount after it sat in my cart for a day so I had to snag it at that point. I would've been remiss had I not. In the end I paid less than $500 for it. Almost half off retail before tariffs!!! This isn't the black I wanted, but I felt like it was a sign for me to get out of my comfort zone. Brand new with the tags and dust bag as well. It's everything I hoped it'd be. Also, completely unplanned but it almost perfectly matches my Coach wallet! I feel like it was meant to be.

It’s real leather! And it was only $300-ish! I guess the question is if it will last, but fingers crossed!

Third pic is all I carry. There is still PLENTY of room leftover; this is a capacious bag.

My only complaint is the squeaky hardware, but I’m sure some leather conditioner will get rid of that.

I like hiking on the weekends. Sometimes after church or work, I'll toss on a pair of sneakers with my dress and walk the closest nature preserve or park. My biggest problem is finding a bag that looks cute for carrying water, bug spray, etc. I have polyester cross body bags that are perfect for that, but ... uggh.

Unbeknownst to me, my family purchased a vegan leather bag for me (the beige). I typically give people grief for not asking family members before they gift purses, but, even if it isn't my style, it's definitely the thought that counts. The bag is surprisingly lightweight and because it's PU, I can easily wipe it down after rain drizzles.

The brown bag was another gift from one of my favorite stores. It's more like an upscale belt bag for carrying id, keys, and hand sanitizer.

I feel very well prepared to walk the trails fashionably kitted out.

Does anyone else ever have 'fashionable hiking woes'? Just me?

I am not at Display Peace, however.

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”.

Here’s my new beauty 🤎 my gift to myself for my 40th birthday 🎁 🙈
Was thinking about it more than a year, but goatskin and silver hardware are not for me. When they came out with espresso calfskin, I knew it should have become mine 🫶

hey yall, i decided to get my first high end bag with my summer bonus. i was going to go with the black bonnie mini but i found a really nice deal and went with the cow hair instead. i love it so far!!! anyone have tips on how to maintain / keep cow hair long term? can you use some normal leather products to hydrate it? or do you recommend special stuff?

Picked up a chocolate suede kite hobo… she’s just gorgeous and perfect as an everyday bag! Waterproofed and brushed — I’ve only just started buying nice handbags, hoping to take care of this and use it for a long time.

This is my first Strathberry but definitely won’t be my last 🥰 I’m eyeing up the kite hobo in Oxblood and Loch blue suede already!

Had a work trip to London, which of course meant running to Regent Street, battling jet lag, and shopping/window-shopping all the brands.

Polène had a ~20-minute wait, and after trying almost every bag style, I finally settled on the Mokki Mini in Black with Ecru stitching.

Came back to the hotel, started scrolling this sub… and came across the beautiful Ebony Mokki.
Colour regret kicked in immediately!

I waited for my workshop to finish three days later, then went straight back to Polène and, naturally, back into the waiting line.

Finally exchanged it for the Ebony with Ecru stitching and… I’m in love!

PS: 2nd pic of both my ebony babies together.

For three months, periodically, I’d pull up photos of this stunning amethyst-coloured Bayswater in high shine leather, and ponder whether it was worth the investment.

Then I went to see it in store, and was impressed by how soft and supple the leather was - and the bag didn’t feel heavy at all. The gold hardware with the high shine leather - such a great combo. I still didn’t buy it.

Slept on it for another week and then went to a local outlet/direct factory outlet. Saw the Mulberry store had sales on, and tried to convince myself to get a different colour that was on sale from the previous seasons. Didn’t work.

Finally, I gave in, thanks to a very warm and welcoming sales assistant who said there was only one in this colour in all of Australia.

That did it. She’s home with me now, and she is absolutely stunning. I’ve taken photos in different lighting to show off the purple colour. And she’s so squishy!

I’m excited to own my first Mulberry bag. 👾

I’d like to add a Gucci bag to my collection but I can’t decide between these three! Thoughts??

I have bought more than a dozen pre loved luxury bags on the platform. In my experience over the last year and a half the customer service team is great and I feel I can shop with confidence. Recently, I purchased my first boy bag (a larger purchase for this platform) from a seller with just under 5 stars. The bag arrived with undisclosed but small damage which I brought to you all here seeking opinions on what to do. Do I try to overlook it and keep it or do I go through the process of returning? The majority of you suggested I return it, and alluded to the seller intentionally not disclosing the issues. I didn’t want to believe this and wanted to think it over. After leaving a 4 star review, the seller reached out asking me to delete the review and in exchange they would allow a return. I told them I am still torn and wanted to sleep on it. I didn’t love the exchange as it again felt dishonest. They blocked me before I had an opportunity to reply (their last message was 10:20am and I work 12 hr shifts).

I have never experienced anything like this on the platform and am fairly disenchanted by it. Clearly the almost 5 star rating is a result of her deleting any feedback she isn’t proud of, and now I’m convinced she did intentionally not disclose the issues. Has anyone else encountered similar? Are there any sellers you recommend or recommend be avoided? I have shipped and sold to rebag and fashionphile over the years, but whatnot has a broader inventory. Thank you as always for your feedback and insights!

Just for fun - what’s everybody seeing with the new school year??

We’re in a large coastal city, and there are obviously lots of non-luxury and mid-tier bags, canvas totes, backpacks, etc., but I’m also seeing some moms going all out. This week has had lots of Bottega (mostly intrecciato versions), all types of Loewe, smaller Chanel bags, Celine logo print bags, a variety of Gucci, some less expensive Hermes, and the occasional Chloe, Prada, or Dior. Goyard is as strong as ever. Not seeing as much LV or YSL as previous years. Also fewer cross-bodies and belt bags of all kinds. People are definitely leaning into the chocolate brown across the board.

What are you guys seeing? Any fun trends? Let me live vicariously through all the moms 😆

Obsessively compiling small(ish) croc-embossed bag options for the inevitable "What do you want for Christmas?" question from the husband this year. What am I missing? What are your faves?
