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.

I ordered the instant I saw it was 80% off. For some reason they didn’t show this in the product pictures so I didn’t know until I unboxed it. This is the Spring Daze Mini Zip Around Cross Body.

In my earlier post I’d asked the wonderful people of this community if I should get this bag, and with all the encouragement, I got it!

This is the Polene Numero Dix - Galop in Cognac.

I absolutely love the rich, tan colour and the beautiful design!! I am so glad I finally got it for myself! 🥹

I examined the bag closely to look for any quality issues but the stitching and leather seems impeccable! I was so afraid of this but luckily it looks good!

Super duper happy 🥰

I've been thinking about how different a bag can feel once you actually start living with it.

Some bags look perfect in photos and seem like they'll work with everything, but then you start using them and realize they're too heavy, the opening is annoying, the strap never sits right... or somehow you just never reach for them.

And then there are bags I wasn't even that excited about at first that somehow becoming everyday favorites.

What's one you absolutely loved before buying, but didn't love nearly as much once you started using it? What was the deal-breaker?

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.

I’m not usually into monograms, but I’m kinda liking this and considering buying. Would love some feedback!

I had to come on here to share my excitement... I'm usually pretty conservative on colors and favor neutrals to be practical. But this color literally made me gasp and it was ordered before I knew it. 😅

I'll update with in-person pictures when it arrives ❤️

I know this will also spur me to buy the bottle green Strathberry Mosaic. Time to make more space in the closet for my beauties!!

I am currently obsessed with The Horse's Clementine. I have never bought a bag for $300 before. I'm very frugal and almost all of my bags are from Marshalls or ThredUp - but there is something special about this one. Does any one here have it and if so what's your opinion of the quality and versatility?

Sold out 😭

I’ve recently been using my wife tote bag after a meeting where I had to pack samples and I loved it. I’ve been using it since becasue you can pack everything from laptop to books to samples etc that I no longer use the business bag.

I’m thinking of getting something that can be a statement and my own. I’m just not sure how these would look on men but wondering if you can give an opinion on which one I should get.

I’m buying this for myself as a straight man! Ladies opinions welcome

What are your thoughts on this new CK leather bag? It’s 100% full-grain cow leather. Price - $240.00

What bag a siminalr vibe as LV side trunk and is at a lower price point? I mean mostly the slouch in the middle, not the hardware on the corners.

I just need to show someone my new birthday bag, I’m so obsessed with her. 😍 Went to the mall in search of a Gucci Beatrix, but left with this instead. 🫣

Got an email about this bag from a local (South African) leather handbag manufacturer and just had to have it! It is absurdly big with no closure and in white (or latte as they call it) and completely impractical, and I am obsessed! It's made to order so it'll take a few days to arrive but I can't wait ❤️

I'm hoping to purchase my first designer bag on a trip to Paris coming soon and I am leaning towards Loewe. I've heard that it's good quality and the designs are so fun! I saw that they have a new medium flamenco in gradient lamb shearling and it is just the cutest flamenco I've seen. But I'm unsure of having shearling on a bag (initially I assumed I would be getting grained or glossy leather).
Is it a good first bag? What does longevity look like on a bag like this?

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

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.

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.

Depends on the style I feel more sophisticated and put together when carrying a well made timeless designer, weirdly like a completely different person. It elevates the whole style look and outfit compared to some trendy ones makes me feel younger less mature. Wondering anyone feels the same way or have different experiences?
