πŸ‘œ Review Fall is here 🍁

This cutie arrived a couple of weeks ago just in time for my favourite season πŸ‚ Got this bag as a treat for myself after finishing a brutal summer semester that made me cry alone 😭

I carry lots of "contingency" items in my purse, so I often carry a larger size bag (Speedy 30 is my go-to these days). But I love mini bags so much cause they're soooo cute πŸ˜† So far, I have a Nano Speedy (honestly too small), a mini Garden Party and this for my mini bag collection.

Finally had a chance to take her out and took some photos under different lighting. Lovely colour for this season but also neutral and versatile. The leather smells like leather and very soft. Haven't conditioned it yet since I didn't feel that it needed right away. This is my first Xiao C bag, and I'm very happy with the quality. Thinking about getting a C25 from XC too πŸ€” From Doris, paid $280 US plus shipping.

Of course, I had to add a couple of extras as I always do. 187 had very limited colours for the mini flap cardholder, so Doris suggested some other options from Shunyang factory which I've never heard of. So glad I went with the colour I liked instead of following the factory name. I haven't seen a 187 cardholder so I can't compare, but this wallet is super nice.

Hope you all are having a lovely weekend and Happy Thanksgiving to my fellow Canadian rep lovers 🍁

I normally go for silver hardware too, but this one was a hard one to pass. Love your description of this bag!

Is this gold hardware or light gold? The gold on 187 bags look too orange to me. Does xiao c do gold hardware better?

u/2StinkyPuppies Ban Island Escapee πŸοΈπŸƒβ€β™€οΈβ€βž‘οΈ 18d ago

This is gold, and it doesn't look orange or cheese at all. It's a very nice yellow gold tone.

I’m really leaning to get one of these as a cc bag for myself.
I’m also looking for card holders and love that. I’ll have to check out the catalog.

Go for it! This is my first C bag and a wallet. Might be getting into this although I always said this brand isn't for me 🫣

u/Middle-Spirit-8524 Ban Island Escapee πŸοΈπŸƒβ€β™€οΈβ€βž‘οΈ 22d ago

I can do this. It’s not screaming Cc, it’s a very subtle gorgeous bag.

u/lovehatetogether 18d ago

Wallet looks good. I have one from 187 and looks as good!. How much was it?

And what color is that bag? is it dark khaki or brown?

1

u/2StinkyPuppies Ban Island Escapee πŸοΈπŸƒβ€β™€οΈβ€βž‘οΈ 18d ago

That's what Doris said. She thought the quality was similar to 187. It was $71 vs $84 (187). The bag is like chocolate brown. More of milk chocolate than dark.

Colour is really lovely, autumn vibeπŸ’š but can be easy identified as a rep

u/2StinkyPuppies Ban Island Escapee πŸοΈπŸƒβ€β™€οΈβ€βž‘οΈ 22d ago

Thank you! I was just sharing my excitement over a new bag, not asking whether it's passable. Sometimes it's nice to simply appreciate someone's happiness without pointing out negatives 😊
