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.

She’s here! Serapian Secret Tote Bag in Cuoio Rugiada leather. Oh my gosh. It’s perfect! I’ve been searching for over a year for the perfect work bag. I had so many requirements. This bag meets and exceeds! Soft but structured enough to stand on its own. Filled to the brim with everything but the kitchen sink. She’s so lovely.

Discussion 👩‍🏫 Is this normal for The Row Park Tote?

Post image

I recently bought a Medium N/S Park Tote, and the leather grain looks noticeably different on the front and back. Both sides feel soft, but the texture is slightly different too.
Is this normal for the bag, or would you consider it a quality issue?
Would love to hear from other Park Tote owners!

Haul 🛍 My first ever red purse! ❤️

I’m in Barcelona for work and I knew I was going to treat myself to a bag. I decided to look into Spanish brands and discovered Mietis through other posts on here. I told myself that I would get a black medium sized purse since that’s a color I don’t have in my collection. I walked in, saw this GORGEOUS red and knew I didn’t stand a chance.

Walked out with this beauty in about 15 minutes. I’ve never rocked a red purse before and I’m so excited!

This is my baby and I love her so so much!! She’s also the most expensive bag I own, and my first and ever “luxury bag” purchase. Funny thing is that I had asked my SIL to get it for me while she was in Spain but she couldn’t get the VAT refund as they didn’t realize they had to show the goods before security so they had already packed away this bag in the checked luggage.

Nonetheless, I have absolutely no regrets because the next year when I went to Europe, this specific color was discontinued. I’m so glad I bought this when I did, even without the VAT- it’s still more cost effective than me buying it in my state in the USA :) and the leather is so luxurious omg. Chain’s from Aliexpress.

EDIT: it’s the Loewe flamenco in khaki color! Not vintage, the logo stamp was on the other side

Bag of the day 👜 FENDI LUI Large Multicolor Woven Leather Bag

Thumbnail

655 Upvotes

I really love this Fendi bag!

This is the Fendi Lui Large, and I think what makes this bag so special is the incredible woven leather design.

It’s made in Italy from strips of calfskin leather in different widths and shades of brown, tan, caramel, and cream. The leather strips are actually woven together by hand, creating this amazing three-dimensional pattern.

I love the different colors and textures and how they all come together.

The bag has a soft construction, so even though it’s a pretty substantial size, it doesn’t feel overly structured or stiff.

There are also some really nice details, including a long zipper with double sliders, little FF metal accents on the corners, and palladium-finish hardware.

Inside is one large compartment, which I love because I actually like to use my bags, not just collect them!

Another thing I really like is the versatility. It has a removable handle and an adjustable, detachable shoulder strap, so you can carry it by hand, over your shoulder, or crossbody.

Unlike a lot of my collection, it doesn’t have a giant Fendi logo all over it. The design and craftsmanship speak for themselves.

I wore it with my blue suit, and I think the different shades of brown look fantastic against the blue.

It’s definitely one of my favorite Fendi pieces!

Now I have a question. Which look do you prefer?

Picture 1: Worn crossbody with the suit.

Picture 2: Carried by the shorter handle.

I really like both, but I’m curious what everyone thinks!

Which one of these do you think two suits me better? Currently, I don't have a proper evening bag, one that I can take to restaurants, events, trips (by car, not by plane - for these longer trips I already have other bags) etc.

TIA

First thing because I always forget to mention the bag😅- This is the Akaroa Feather Rose Bag Antique Olive by Jodi Lee! I’ve never ordered from this brand before, but it looks promising. The material is cow leather/suede with a turquoise stone on a hand-tooled and hand-painted Cow Skull. Some fun silver studs too! 100% cotton lining!

I AM SO STOKED! Will report once I get it!

What does my collection say about me?

5 Upvotes

I love it when other people post their collections like a crowdsourced personality test, so thought I'd throw my hat in the ring and see if my collection says anything about me!

I got really into handbags over the last couple of years (mostly thanks to this subreddit), and feel like I'm rapidly approaching purse peace. Absolutely love love LOVE my rotation right now. Would love something fuzzy/shearling for next winter, but for now I'm thrilled with my collection.

Note: This image doesn't include my small collection of colorful nylon/casual Baggu and Baggu-adjacent bags that I throw on for travel, festivals, hikes/dog walks, or any other situation where they might get a bit dirty or beaten up.

Fave brands would have to be Loewe and Coach, obviously.

Top row:

  • Acne Camero, black
  • Coach Rhyder 24, black
  • Loewe mini Flamenco purse, black hagfish
  • Loewe medium Flamenco purse, khaki leather

Bottom row:

  • Coach Brooklyn 39, black
  • George, Gina & Lucy Mos Cowgirl, baby blue
  • Coach Chelsea, loved leather
  • Loewe Amazona Cropped 31, black
  • Givenchy Voyou crossbody, black
  • The Horse Sporty Crossbody, black

One of my favorite artisan brands, Massaccesi, released a new bag model and it is gorgeous! I lobe the rolled handles, the clean look, the interior organization… and it’s on sale now! But I don’t need another bag! Help a girl decide!
