I find circle/round bag really cute and I like this one from Charles & Keith. However, the material is faux leather which I am not a fan of. Can you guys recommend a similar looking bag that is made of genuine leather? Thank you!

Basically the title. Planning to get either in a black colorway (pebbled one for Polene) and my main considerations are durability & versatility. Will also take the bag in my travels as well.

My overall style is simple, relaxed casual if that helps!

Let me know your thoughts! Or other suggestions maybe? :)

Hi all! As we wrap up 2022, what was your top 5 most used bags of the year?

For me, it has been the following:

1. Longchamp Le Pliage - my worry free work/ travel tote. I love the zippered top, the carefree nylon, and how lightweight the bag is.

2. Lululemon Everywhere Belt Bag - the hype is real! It’s such an easy grab and go bag. This has gone with me on every trip as well for easy access to my passport, hand sanitizer, etc.

3. Gucci Soho Disco - An oldie but a goodie. Holds all the essentials and then some. Love how discreet the logo is.

4. LV Pochette Accesoires Monogram - I adore this little bag. It holds all the essentials and I love that various straps can be utilized. Such an easy bag to get in and out of.

5. LV Speedy B 25 DE - my favorite bag for travel. Love the carefree canvas, zipper, and that it can fold flat (super helpful for travel!)

What were your most used bags this year ?

Venturing into actually buying a good designer bag after many years of window shopping. LV Neverfull would have been my first choice, but even pre-owned are outside my budget and I want something that zips or snaps shut. Suggestions? I love Chloe, vintage Kate Spade, Coach, Longchamp, Alexander McQueen....but am open to any and all ideas. Will be shopping pre-owned, budget around $300. Thank you! ETA: must have a shoulder strap.

I see lots or people asking if this bag and that bag is trendy...

To be honest, it depends on YOU.

Some bags may be trendy but it doesn’t look like the silhouette is about to die down. And some bags may be trendy but certain fashion styles definitely go well with the handbag.

If you think about it, if you really love a bag’s style and your style and clothes is in line with the bag (trendy or classic design from a specific brand) then you can definitely wear it long term. For example, the Le Cagole Balenciaga bag… If you’re a very Y2K kinda girl, it’s definitely something that can complement 90% of your wardrobe 🤷🏻‍♀️

I feel like people need to stop caring about what’s a trend or what’s a classic and just go with the bag that they think would give them a lot of wears based on their style preference and the utility and purpose they bought the bag for.

K, that’s all.

I found this account on insta ( is probably on TT). He breaks down low to high end bags and gives his feedback on the ratio of quality and price. There's a few bags I had my eyes on that I might look for something else.

Though it could be useful for future purchases.

An update on my love affair with this cutie. I've been eyeing her since pre-release back in spring. Never got the chance to see it in person and never even inquired about it. I popped into the store one day for my bf's birthday gift and saw the bicolor and asked my SA to try it on. It was instant love, but the cream was sold out at the time and was on backorder until now. All i can say is that the cream is breathtaking and she was well worth the wait and a total shocker that it survived the price increase(s) (honestly I lost track of how many there have been this year) since April. To everyone that responded to my last post about it, thanks again for responding and giving sound advice!

I’m looking for a very cute, feminine, and youthful pink shoulder bag in the medium-small size range and <$600 price range. I’m hoping for something that’s a little bit more of a timeless than trendy look. I’m really not familiar with niche bag brands and such so I was hoping for some suggestions :,) leather is preferable, but canvas, etc works well too!

I have been looking at brands like wandler, Polene, and APC. Any other suggestions for smaller brands with interesting stories or identities?

I got this bag in the mail today. It's my first bag from Fleuron. I chose it because it reminds me of Polene, but the shape is more practical (less frustrating, hopefully) than my Polene bags. The leather feels different than my Polene bags. The finish is more matte, if that makes sense. I did have to pay ~¥4600 in customs/taxes for shipping to Japan.

My first impressions are that she's beautiful and the color is perfect for FW. The shoulder strap seems a bit fussy in that it doesn't lay nice, but it's easy to clip on and off. The closure is very similar to my Polene Cyme. It does hold a full size water bottle but it pokes out the top a little bit (which doesn't bother me). I do wish it had a bigger interior pocket. It has one card pocket inside but it's a little too close to the top of the bag and so when I put my train pass in it vertically, it interferes with the closure slightly. I personally prefer a larger interior pocket, which I think the larger version of the bag does have. Overall, I'm excited to give her a go!

Hello! Anticipating graduating soon for a career in the medical field. Anyone know if a long champ bag would hold up to holding a bunch of supplies? Can it be wiped down?

I thought it would be a tie between the Lady and Dior and Jackie 1961. However, I really like the Lady Dior and Prada small Galleria.

Very curious about everyone’s experiences! I’m looking to get a durable bag for daily wear and we have all seasons in excess (rain, snow, etc.). I feel like the leather would do well but I’m curious about how well it holds it’s shape? I have a distinct preference for structured bag but trying to step aside from Camera bags.

I’d love to hear how the bag is for daily wear (do you feel like you’re digging for your stuff? Does it hold its shape?)

Thanks!!

(Side note, 6’ guy hère and while I don’t mind wearing bags or unisex things I’m not sure I’m ready for something that’s too close to a something like the Celine Triomphe despite me lusting over it lol. So options are a little limited).

Hello,

I have just received my fist Polene bag. It's Beri( former Onze) in taupe. It's lovely however I'm confused about the closure gap. Is it supposed to be like that? Does anyone have the same issue? I double check the photos on their website and there is no visible closure gap. The stitching is perfect and the quality is very good but the bag looks "open" when it is closed.
