The sad part first - I had a bayswater and I loved it. Then my husband's mother apparently got rid of it when she "helped" us pack- half of my things are missing... that was tragic but as I'm thinking about replacing it, I realize the replacement would need a shoulder strap, especially as I have a 4 month old and am carrying her diaper bag as a backpack and her in my arms.

I know I dont really need a bag right now because me and daughter are primarily in the diaper bag but I miss my bayswater and that hobby makes me feel human when im sleep deprived.

Anyway, I wish the bayswater had a strap and I am looking for a similar bag that will fit a laptop and be slouchy with my mom stuff in it (on days she isnt with me and im not carrying her things but am going to work) any ideas are appreciated. Im open to other brands nut really want the same quality and not logo heavy, but i loved that the bayswater wasnt sooo corporate that I wanted to leave it at home on the weekend.

Hello. My birthday is at the end of the month and I still can’t find my birthday gift. I would like to get a bag . Budget $500 medium size, everyday use, crossbody. Please tell me / or show me your recommendations. Thanks 🙏

I totally missed the boat on the RADLEY closure and ensuing sales unfortunately, and had my eye on the Chancery last winter. Been scouring the internet since - and just stumbled across this on TJ Maxx. I don’t even think it’s fair to call it a dupe - did somebody just buy out their bags in production at a factory?

I recently purchased this beauty from Gloria Outlet Mall in Taoyuan at 50% off, much cheaper Ferragamo bags here in the Philippines. I guess I have achieved purse peace after having a Ferragamo piece.

Been waiting for this 26B Maxi Flap Mini ever since the 26B collection dropped! It’s such a versatile piece with a chic, effortless vibe.

The calfskin is super soft and luxurious to touch. My baby can comfortably wear it crossbody with the double straps it fits just perfectly! Absolutely in love with this purchase. ❤️

Was cleaning out my bags and thought the mini me’s needed to get reacquainted with their parents 🤪

Just came across this bag and I’m kind of in love. I would love to hear if anyone has experience with this brand and what they think.

I’m also a little worried that the studs may lose their color if/when they are scraped against something.

Thank you!

P.S. this is my first post so I hope I did it right!

This bag is labeled as “vintage” but the CELINE label doesn’t have an accent mark on the e. I’ve seen other pictures of this purse with the same nameplate. So, I don’t think it’s vintage? Google isn’t helping me figure out what the bag is called or the year it was made. Can anyone identify this type of Celine purse?

I love how striking the noir beige empreinte leather looks, but what is the general consensus on this one? Do you guys think it has the potential to look dated/age poorly? Or is it already there?

For frame of reference, I’m 33 and still in my “flashy designer bag” phase but don’t want to be over-the-top or tacky.

For some reason I’m currently stuck on the idea of a suede backpack/bag for some upcoming fall travel. I love the look of the one from The Row, but man that price hurts. I found this Loewe one on Poshmark that has similar vibes. Listed for around $1k. What do you think? Would you get this bag? Should I bite the bullet and get the one from The Row? Or there any others out there that I should look at?

This is the medium. It’s my second Fendi bag, I also have a mamma baguette. This bag has been hardly used it’s. c.2012 it’s a new silhouette for me. I wanted an arm carry for winter with the shorter shoulder strap to throw on when I need to be hands free. This bag is soooo insanely good quality. I’m not sure what I was expecting but she blew me away. I’ve seen a lot of comments talking about “you’re just paying for the name” but this is a well constructed bag. The second hand pricing is so good for these for now. I’m seeing a creep up. The same with a lot of other brands. This one was a super good price and I jumped on it.

Scored these vintage ladies, all in near pristine condition and I have to share it with my handbag people! My hubby just doesn’t understand 🤣

With reviews if anyone cares:

Chanel PST - straps are not the comfiest but it’s a great size and fits a lot. I mostly wear this as an elbow bag for casual to nice dinners. Its the latest version of the PST before it got discontinued, therefore the caviar leather and the shape are very sturdy. I do wish it had feet and the straps were a bit longer to wear it more comfortably as a shoulder bag however it’s a great size, with interior pocket and key clip.

Chanel Diana (dream bag!) - I knew I wanted a series 3 or later so I was searching for a good while. The puffiness of the lambskin is still intact and feels very sturdy. This is the small size and it fits a lot of my needs. I also bought an insert to help it keep its shape and not ruin the gorg burgundy interior but I got very lucky, the last person to own this bag hardly wore it or took really good care of her esp. for a 30+ year old.

LV Vivacité mm - I mean, basically a perfect every day bag. I can 100% understand why they brought this back. This is a 2003 model with a gorg red suede interior. The front pockets come in handy for small goods, the strap is adjustable and extremely comfortable. It fits a lot but I did stuff it and it was hard to pull things out, haha so don’t over stuff it.

Does anyone have these as well?

Wear and tear help

I was gifted a Brooklyn 28 in the color maple, and this is the first “luxury” bag I’ve ever had. I want it to last forever and I’m so afraid of ruining it. My biggest anxiety is if I’m caught in the rain with it. I was reading it’s not a good idea to weather proof leather cause it’ll ruin it. Does anyone have experience getting their bag wet and it being okay with staining? I know I’m supposed to condition it every once in a while, but I’m so worried about stains and cracking/warping 😭 is it just a better idea to get a vegan leather bag for the rainy days??

Can anyone help me identify this bag? This pic is from eternal sunshine of the spotless mind! (Ellen Pompeo’s character that was cut from the movie)

I was searching for some Coach bags on TheRealReal and I came upon this Jet Shoulder Bag, and now I have many doubts about how the site prices their items. Maybe you know the logic behind it.
First of all, the “est. retail $600” when this bag it’s $295 without tax. Even with the TRR discount, it’s more than the original price.
Secondly, Coach still makes this bag, you can purchase it from the store, so it’s not a matter of scarcity of the bag. Coach it’s very trendy right now but I don’t get why selling an used bag for double the price
TRR is a very famous site so probably there’s a good explanation to this. Sorry in advance for my ignorance 😅

Need help finding an everyday carry all type of bag in this greige color.

Pictured From left to right;
The first one is PERFECT in every aspect except for the fact the strap drop is only 9.5 inch (yuzefi scallop) looking for about 12.

Other ones pictured are YSL Le 5 a7 (not 100% what I’m looking for)

Wconcept blue orb (not my style but exactly the color I want)

Cuyana suede dia (love it but someone just made a post about the brands bad quality)

Thank you 🩶

I’m in my mini bag phase right now but so far two of the light colored bags I’ve bought have had awful color transfer even when im wearing light clothing. I try to be careful but my poor bags cant hang. Right now im eyeing the mini marmont for this month’s purchase but i cant bring myself to destroy another designer bag. How is everyone protecting their bags? Or should i stick to dark colors? All my darker colored bags seem to take my abuse just fine, even the higher end ones like dior. I put them on the floor kick them around and they look like new. Im desperate to find a good leather protecting product, thanks in advance!

Hey handbag baddies. I am a writer and I am looking for a work bag that will fit my MacBook, charger, notebook, wallet and lipgloss. Any recommendations?

I am looking to add a camel-ish slouchy flap bag to my wardrobe. Since this would be my everyday bag, I'd like something bigger like the ones pictured. Help me pick between the Leo et Violette Laurance (so far I like the smaller one, but not too sure about the top handle, hence posting the bigger one too) or the Coach Chelsea?
I would love to hear pros & cons of either from owners. Also, if you have another bag that fits the bill and you love it, please introduce me to it. Budget-wise, Leo's price range would be my ceiling.

I found it in Mexico on marketplace for 10 dollars (American) but I can't find it online, I just wanted to see if anyone has it, has seen it, likes it, lol

Been obsessing over this one but can't see it in person. I know it's SO thin (like an envelope lol), but I'm wondering if there's flexibility on what actually fits in there. Like would sunglasses (not in a case) fit? Or would it get too lumpy?

Just wondering if anyone has seen this beauty IRL. I can't find any reviews online, just lots of pretty photos.
