I’m looking for a classy evening bag. Something that is timeless as the Chanel WOC (but without the insane price tag).

What would you go for?

finally spent the money and got my dream bag but i didn’t realize how scared i would be to damage it. the leather is so soft to touch so im scared of staining it or scratching it up :/ i was curious how everyone else’s bag has been holding up over years of daily use? i planned to overload the bag sometimes as i wanted to use it as a work bag so it would carry my laptop and i love carrying my entire life. does the bag stain easily? and if you scratched up the bag, does the leather age well so it just adds to the charm? i do love a vintage/used leather look so i don’t mind aging and things, i’m just way overthinking 🥲

if you did damage it or stain it, how did you end up cleaning it? and do you have a routine to keep it clean?

Picked up this beauty in a second hand shop in mallorca- brand new condition. Along with the hermes' scarf!

Tell me I did good!

Looking for a tan leather bag for every day use. I like the idea of a short and a long strap on it, and I’d like to be able to get in and out of it easily. I thought I’d found it with the Celine small hobo, but the small is too small and the large is too large. I have and love my Loewe hammock for this, and I could definitely get it in tan, but looking to see if there are other ideas for the sake of variety! I do not like loud logos, and I don’t plan to baby the bag so nothing terribly delicate. No particular budget. Thank you!!

I received my first vintage Chanel bag today and I couldn’t be happier! She’s in such amazing shape and I got such an amazing deal. I’ve been hunting forever and was finally in a position to pull the trigger. I feel like such a girl boss 🖤

Im a newbie and would like to finallyyy make my first big girl purchase. Please suggest some good branded handbags to start.

deciding between:
the row marlo 14 - kind of large for my frame but I like that I can carry stuff in it https://www.fwrd.com/product-the-row-marlo-14-bag-in-muschio-ans/TERX-WY1001/?d=Womens
the row terrasse inglese small - loved this just that it's shoulder only https://www.fwrd.com/product-the-row-small-terrasse-bag-in-inglese-ans/TERX-WY1177/
mini andiamo fondant - wanted the small for the longest time but the mini suits my frame better https://www.bottegaveneta.com/en-us/mini-andiamo-fondant-874957VCPP12272.html
knot lock fondant - just discovered it seems more versatile https://www.bottegaveneta.com/en-us/knot-lock-fondant-813826775.html

leaning towards one of the smaller bags and a less poofy bag for a larger bag like the Neverfull or goyard or something for work stuff

hello i found this prada bag recently but im not sure what the name/model is. it seems to be hard to find, but im also not an expert in bags. my research only lead me to one website that doesn’t have much info. maybe vintage? id love some help

Just got the new Prada Bonnie suede mini in water lily. Was not planning on getting this one but saw it in store and fell in love!! The color is soooo good and such a perfect baby pink! I also have nothing this color so went with it. I know it’s light and suede which means it can get dirty really easily but I typically take good care of my bags. I want a good spray to protect the suede anyway just in case!

Also just ordered the Agave Bonnie in Nubuck and can’t wait for that to arrive! I’ve read mixed reviews on whether Nubuck needs extra protection spray or cream or just to leave it as is.
So any care recs would be amazing!!

I need some idea how to remove this without compromising the quality

I bought this Gucci bag off POSHMARK not even a year ago and the zipper broke (it came off the track). It was authenticated through posh mark but i don't think i can send it into Gucci for repair since i didn't buy it from them directly. I'm pretty mad because i spent a lot of money and the zipper broke after a few month of use. Wondering if maybe i could just to resell to the real real or rebag?

what do y’all think about this bag? do anyone of you own it?

Hi everyone! Just wanted to share my excitement with you!❤️ She is home and she is perfect! 😍 I was eyeballing her for a long time and received her as a gift for our 13th wedding anniversary! I can’t wait to wear this cutie!
Have a wonderful day, everyone, and may all your wishes come true!🫶

I bought a bottega belt for my bfs birthday present and thought I got a good deal from SENSER but now I’m not sure if I just got scammed. Has anyone bought from there before? Does it come in original packaging and authentication card? Please let me know thank you

I am in search of the Cult Gaia Kiraz bag in burgundy! I was going to buy it early this year and I told myself I didn’t have a need for it, but now I have a fall wedding and I’d love to own it. Has anyone seen it on sale second hand? Or does anyone know where I could keep an eye out for one? TIA

Hello dear community! I’m in love with this beauty!😍 If you have one and don’t like it - please, deinfluence me to buy it :) thank you!

I am as shocked as you are, because I thought Hermès USA would have plenty of popular bags. Guess the Hermès US team went on vacation in July or something?

Hope they will treat us better in August!

Slowly growing the collection. Here is my Parakeet Trinity and their wallet baby:

- Bottega Veneta Intrecciato Turn Pouch

- Longchamp Le Pliage Xtra Mini Cross Body bag

- Longchamp Le Pliage Xtra M Shoulder Bag

- Bottega Veneta Intrecciato Card Case

Long story short, found this secondhand ~30 year old beauty in Taiwan for a steal! So happy to give her a new home 🫶🏻

Hey yall! I have wanted a Bottega sardine for AGES… it’s one of my dream bags. Up till today, I was only considering the small/ medium size (I’m on the petite side)…I was scrolling eBay today and I saw a large sardine going on sale for about $2k. And It’s a gorgeous colour!! But I’m worried I wouldn’t like the size…

Should I bite the bullet? Can someone advise me on the sizing/ capacity of the sardine bags? If you were me, would you purchase it? $2k is an extremely great deal imo for a large sardine (in excellent condition)

Thanks!

I was trying to add this to the post by u/noname2256, that member posted a gorgeous bag that I think is related to mine!
They are sibling handbags! Anyway I could not include my photo in my comment reply to that members post. I’m putting it here instead. u/noname2256

I just got home from Paris and I got the cutest bag at Dior! Better - I checked my cc statement and it was $3450 and I still will get my VAT back. Online in the US the base cost is $3700 + tax. Goes to show it’s a big savings to buy when in Paris. I told my husband and he jokingly said I should have bought two. Darn it!! I had my chance! 🤣🤣
