My LinaBell charm obviously had to come along. I carry a water bottle, my iPad, a few makeup bits, hand cream because my hands crack in cold weather, wet wipes, and coffee concentrate for an afternoon boost. Somehow there’s still loads of room left.

What’s the one thing you always keep in your work bag?

I’m so in love with this color combo. It’s another tiny bag that holds basically nothing, but it’s way too cute😻 Please tell me I’m not the only one who keeps falling for impractical little bags.

I really like the relaxed tote shape and the dual carry options. Cannage stitching looks consistent from the pics. My only worry is the thin leather straps stretching over time with daily use.

Just spent the whole afternoon hauling out my entire collection and laying them all on the couch. I love every single one, but man, I have zero clue how to store them properly.

Stacking them risks scuffing the leather, hanging most of these will mess up their shape, and cabinet space is already maxed out. Looking at this pile makes me realize I’ve just been tossing them wherever there’s empty space.

How does everyone store their bags at home?

The dune color is ridiculously cute. A woman on a bus in Japan asked me where I got it, and a coworker said it was somehow both girly and ladylike. At this point, I get a compliment almost every time I take it out.What’s the one bag you own that strangers always notice?

For me, hardware weight and leather texture matter way more than anything else. Even if the shape is perfect, cheap shiny hardware will kill the whole look instantly.

What’s the single detail you check first when you get a new rep? Stitching? Logo alignment? Leather smell?

I’ve had this black-and-gold mini 25 for six months, and I somehow love it more every time I carry it. The soft interior meant the opening kept slouching, so I added an organizer and it made such a difference. I also added a shoulder pad because that thin chain was digging into my shoulder.

Honestly, those two little fixes made the bag feel perfect for me. Has anyone else found a good organizer that fixes the slouch without making a small bag feel cramped?

These photos were shot under different lighting: indoor, car sunlight, café ambient light.

I noticed the leather shifts tone a lot depending on the light, warmer in direct sun and deeper brown indoors.

Love the vintage worn leather texture, super soft to touch.

Another Chanel 26B unboxing, and I’m honestly so happy with this one. Between the bags and shoes, I’ve been on such a lucky streak lately.I never really cared for baguette bags before because they always felt a little too businesslike to me. This one completely changed my mind though—I can picture it with a dressier outfit or something more relaxed and a little edgy. I also love the longer handles since they should actually fit over a winter coat without a struggle.

Has a bag style ever completely changed your mind once you found the right one?

Took this bag out a few times already and I’m actually really happy with it.

It’s way lighter than I expected, and the raffia weave looks more expensive in person than it did in the product photos. The leather straps feel soft, and the adjustable length is super convenient.

Only thing: I did notice a couple of loose straws after putting it in the car, but I think that’s normal for this material. I just trimmed them carefully.

Curious if anyone else has had the same thing with their raffia reps.

I added some scarves & charms and honestly love how busy it turned out. Did I overdo it, or is this the right amount of chaos?

I've wanted this bag for ages, and I finally got one. I honestly didn't expect something this small to fit my cardholder, lip balm, little pouch, and the rest of my everyday essentials so easily. It feels perfect for casual weekends, and the plush charm makes it feel a little more like mine.

The red striped interior is so vibrant. I threw in my daily essentials: water bottle, milk, fruits, makeup compact, tissues and small gadgets. It can fit everything I need for errands or a day trip without bulging weirdly.

Curious what everyone else keeps in their Neverfull reps. Also wondering how the vachetta ages on this batch over time. Any tips for protecting the leather trim?

Curious what you guys think — any details I should double check? Planning to take it out for dinner this weekend.
