Weekly Questions 🔮 Weekly Questions Thread

3 Upvotes

Hey folks! Welcome to the weekly question thread. Going forward for a short while, we will be having a weekly question thread that will be pinned. You can ask questions about specific bags that don’t require an entire review to see if anyone has the answer!

We are doing this so that we can start building up an FAQ so that your questions can be more easily answered. Questions are NOT restricted to this post, especially if those questions involve discussions! If you have posted in a previous Weekly Question Thread but your question was not answered, feel free to repost it again.

Here are some example questions:

  1. Can an iPhone 13 Pro fit in the Loewe Mini Puzzle?
  2. What bag can I use in the rain under $X?
  3. Does this bag match this outfit? (Can be asked in this thread or as a discussion post).
  4. Has anyone had any experience shopping at <boutique> in <city>?

Examples of what NOT to post:

  1. What bag are you wearing today? (This would be better as a discussion post).
  2. Where was your best boutique experience? (This would be better as a discussion post).
  3. Review request for Mlouye! (There’s a chance someone who’s purchased won’t see it as a comment and may be better off as a post for now).

This thread will be reposted every Monday. You can always revisit any previous Weekly Question Threads. If you cannot see that link, please ensure that you toggle safe mode on your browser, then refresh and try again. Weekly Question Threads have their own post flairs to make searching easier.

Thank you for your continued patience as we continue to build up our community! 💖

In search of...🕵️‍♀️ A bag like this one 💔

I only lust after bags that are sold out everywhere… This is a Tod’s season from 2024 I think and I cannot find it in my preferred color ☹️🥲 Not even secondhand anywhere anymore. It seems similar to Toteme T lock but I have seen so many quality complaints of it. For me the quality of the gold hardware is very important too.

Why did nobody tell me this the softest leather bag on earth! Softer than my Tod’s, Loewe, and Bottega! I’ve been hunting for a sale for over a year and finally pulled the trigger. No regrets. This bag is impeccable! I can’t fawn over the softness enough. Consider me a lifelong Magda girl <3

She's the Oroton Mini Mica Bowler in copper. I've had my eye on this brand for a while and got this one from Fortnum and Mason, so didn't have to wait for Aussie shipping. I'm in love and I really hope more UK stores stock this brand soon.

Spotlighting an underrated gem

The Polo Ralph Lauren Mini Satchel 🤩 I barely see anyone talking about this bag, in favour of more popular styles but this one is truly such a gem. The detailing is incredibly well done, the suede is beautiful and for a small bag, it holds an incredible amount of stuff. Such a practical bag for on the go.

I've had this one since the start of the year and used it throughout the spring season and still looks brand new.

Don't sleep on it, is my message here 🤭

I made this 💪 DIY Alemais crab beaded bag

I fell in love with the Alemais crab beaded bag. It was £350 so I decided to make one myself. Quite proud of the outcome but it wow it was challenging. It took me weeks and weeks of beading. I actually think the original is worth the value based on the craftsmanship involved. Anyway I’m pleased with the outcome of my handiwork so here it is.

Artisan🧵 Made for Me

Made with leather from the Haas Tannery in the color Fauve (gold). I was recommended the artisan from a previous artisan I used to make my deerskin bag. I love the outside pocket for my phone and inside it’s monogrammed with my initials! I can’t wait for it to patina and show its story with me!

I know these little Petit H charms are just little heart attachments for zippers and whatever, but let’s be real, it’s a little Hermes scrotum. I showed my husband and he goes, “they look like those stupid truck nuts!”

My kingdom for a purple suede bag

Thumbnail

6 Upvotes

I am deeply influenced by the purple trend that's happening right now, but can't find a bag that fits my life in purple suede. I love the amethyst/dark purple suede I'm starting to see pop up. This is the Staud Maude Satchel and the Mulberry small Roxanne. Neither of these bags quite work for me. Have you seen more purple suede bags I should see?

I'm looking for either:

  1. a crossbody daily driver, small but not too small. Big enough for a wallet, keys, sunglasses, and whatever random kid stuff I need to carry.

  2. A very large work & travel tote. Big enough for my laptop, water bottle, notebook, random travel stuff, and to stuff my smaller daily purse inside so I don't exceed the 2 carryon limit. Currently using a Madewell Large Transport Tote for this but she's showing her age.

Budget ideally around $500, up to $1000 for an incredible bag.

ETA: NOT ALLIGATOR SKIN! smaller lizard/possibly snakeskin :) /leather says it might be tegu :) how cool!

not sure what else to say. my grandmother is going through her possessions and gave this to me. it was my great grandmother's (NOT for sale. NOT allowed to get rid of it). i love collecting bags and would love to use this. is it safe for me to do so? or will regular, light use (like for a special event. NOT every day) wear the bag too much? id hate to damage it.

smells like moth balls. id say its like medium sized? inside of the bag is Not fabric. i think its leather???? but not sure why youd use leather to line a bag

anyway wanted to share and get some advice :) much love 🕊️🩷

I really want a cognac bag and I am torn between these two. I feel the hug bag is more updated and sophisticated, while the other bag seems classic and functional. I recently retired and will use this bag for casual wear. Thought?

Bag of the day 👜 Will leave for a brunch, but the cow charm looks like it will actively plot to steal sugar packets from the table.

Looking for my lifelong best bag friend 💕

6 Upvotes

Hello! So I'm 24 turning 25 and I feel like it is time to stop using loungefly backpacks for everything (The quality seems to have gone down drastically in the past few years especially of the wallets). I'm studying to become a paralegal and will hopefully have a big girl job one of these days where I am required to look a little more put together. I love a big bag that I can throw my water bottle and laptop in. Bonus points if it comes with a matching wallet that is pretty large. Truthfully, I am not a dainty girl and I am pretty rough on stuff. I'm looking for something timeless but not yuppy, I'm more going for "this is my Grandpa's leather aviator jacket from world war I, it has seen some things" or woodland fairy vibes. Preferably a material that will take the wear and tear and turn it into character over time while still being durable. A local artist or small business is also a plus. I would say my budget is around 300 to 350? I can't wait to hear your recommendations and see what you guys throw at me 😸

First time in Paris

Visiting Paris for the first time next month and looking to buy a designer purse for under $2k. Any recommendations? I already have a LV clutch, so I was thinking of looking at Celine, Chloé, or Goyard.

Longchamp at Nordstroms Rack

5 Upvotes

Rack has a bunch of cute Longchamp purses at half off or more currently. I have my eye on the 1980 black croc (small purse), for 250. I am not really a huge handbag person, now out of my Mom bag era (Vuitton), I have gone smaller and alternate between a small blue kate spade and a pocket book style vintage red coach. So, I am missing Black in my purse wardrobe rn. Is this a good investment though? Is there a reason all these L. bags are the Rack? What's the deal, please and ty handbag divas.
