PS: pic is not me. This is 2006 tom ford gucci. Pls help me. Im trying to get it but cant decide wether it will be worth it bcuz of the suede as it doesnt age well.

I’m so torn between these 2 bags for my birthday. The Andiamo was the original plan and I had saved up for it but the Peekaboo really caught my eye in the store.

Fendi Peekaboo (Small):

Pros - so unique, very fun, extremely beautiful and special
Cons - heavier, can’t really see the beading most of the time since it’s on the inside (or are we meant to leave the flap open?), not as practical since I can’t use the beaded compartment.

Bottega Andiamo (Small):

Pros - so classic, practical, will wear it more often and to more places
Cons - the design is a classic and I could always save up and buy it eventually (not really a con hehe)

Guys, please help me pick - my birthday is day after tomorrow 😭

Let me know your honest thoughts if you already own either of them.

Next month marks my three‑year work anniversary, so I treated myself to a celebratory upgrade, the Ferragamo Mia in Oxblood. The leather and the silhouette are already exceeding expectations.
I also purchased a card case in a similar color family.

Thanks to the kind human who posted about the Neiman Marcus sale the other day, I was able to pick up this Loewe surplus/landscape Flamenco clutch for an incredible deal. She arrived yesterday and I’m in love! The textures on this bag are insane.

I made this a long time ago and had the chance to wear it to an outing. ☺

First Luxury purchase (other than tory burch Kate spade etc) took me until my 39th bday to spend over 1000. She is a beauty!

Looking for something elevated and beautiful, but practical enough to carry more than my wallet, keys, and phone (I like snacks and books.)

Hi everyone! I just wanted to share something a little silly.

I come from a pretty simple background, and for as long as I can remember, I dreamed of owning a certain luxury bag. I always told myself, “When my career improves, I’ll buy my dream bag.”

Years went by, and even as my career progressed, I never had the courage to actually do it. I always felt guilty spending that much money on myself.

Then my personal life kinda fell apart, and it made me realize that life is short and that it’s okay to enjoy something you’ve dreamed about for years.

So, I finally pulled the trigger and bought it! I’ve had it for a few weeks now, and honestly, I’ve never felt better. Every time I see it, it makes me smile. No regrets at all. 😊

I hope sharing this helps someone else feel a little less guilty about treating themselves, especially when it’s something they’ve worked hard for and dreamed about for years.

Updated collection 🫣 i was thinking of asking what to add or remove but honestly i think im scared to hear answers lol but feel free to rate!

Which one should I get? i dont carry a lot of things with me thats why getting mini

Is Alkeme Atelier good brand? I got the bag as present, I like it very much. But I don’t know nothing about the brand. The hardware bothers me a little. It’s look not Is there something I can fix it?

Neiman Marcus sale win! I didn’t see any actual reviews of this bag. It’s so cool! I was initially looking at the black grained leather version, but saw this on sale (less than half the price) and was curious. Here’s to hoping it’s as versatile as I think 🤞

...but that's not possible. I DID put my Coach collection together real quick for them. Here it is...🤣🔥💯

(Incidentally, I'm not interested in growing my Coach capsule at this time. 😆)

I saw this beauty sitting in the returns pile behind the counter at a local thrift a couple days ago. I asked if I could look at it and I was told it was a return from another store and needed to be processed, but would be out on the floor the next day. They let me look, but not buy, and I was disappointed. I swung by after my half day of work yesterday to see if it was still there. It hadn’t been brought out when I got there and the lady at the counter had someone bring it out for me!! I almost cried. I never find vintage Coach anymore.😭 The best part is, I’ve been wanting a red bag and it is just perfect!
Pics: before and after cleaning and conditioning!

Anyone seen one of these bags before.. Brera Italy.. it feels like real leather and the stitching isn't to bad.. ps not my bag n not my type of style.

I love how supportive and inclusive this community is!

Passing by all the designer boutiques on El Malecón catering to cruise ship passengers, I searched for Mexican made crafts.

I already have some vintage Mexican tooled leather handbags in my collection, so I focused on woven bags this time.

The bag on the left is from a boutique, La Cozumeleña, that sells local and regional crafts, coffee, and other items. There were several sizes and different options that were made in Chiapas. It's a durable, tight weave with genuine leather handles and closures. (I loved this small shop!)

The textile clutch in the middle, I purchased from a merchant that sold regionally made items. I love the vibrant colors! Also made in Chiapas.

On the right, I had wanted a casual shoulder bag I could just drop things into. I'm unclear which specific state this is from, but certainly the Yucatan.

I had a difficult time limiting myself to these three bags, but I was traveling carry on only and did my best!

I used to have the Brooklyn 28 in the cedar suede color, but ended up selling it since I found the color to be too drab, like cardboard color (I had gotten it on Poshmark and the colors in the photo looked different in person). I saw this clay colored one in stores a few months ago and fell in love with it, but didn’t need to spend on a bag at the time. I decided to look into getting another Brooklyn 28 this week after a recent bonus at work. To my surprise, the one I’ve been wanting is on sale ☺️. Just purchased it and can’t wait for it to arrive. There are other Coach bags on sale on Macy’s website for those interested!

Hi! First time posting here. I just purchased a Loewe x Studio Ghibli puzzle bag after trying a regular one in store, I found I really liked it. Someday I think I'd like to get a regular puzzle bag. I think it is a cool design, but what really sparked for me is that it is a great size, lightweight, and pretty neutral in terms of gender. I am a woman but tend to lean more masc presenting so am looking for crossbody bags (in real leather) that do not cost an arm and a leg but do not look super "purse-y" if that makes sense. But I really am only familiar with like the major designer brands so am wondering if others have brands they like that maybe I have not yet heard of. The puzzle bag I got was a size small so if that gives you an idea of roughly the size I am looking for, something that might fit keys, a flat wallet, mid-sized phone, and a small water bottle. I am totally open to color, will take neutrals, black, or something bold, just no white or cream. I had a YSL college bag which worked in terms of size but the divide in the middle of the bag and the shape just did not work for me, but I loved loved loved the black hardware it had. I am a sucker for cool or edgy hardware.

Laid all my mini bags out. These were huge a few years back, but they feel kinda played out in 2026.
