Has anyone got a Hunza G bikini/swimsuit? And if so would your recommend? I’m sick of buying cheap swimwear every year that come the next year I don’t like/has lost its shape etc.
I’m not sure if this is helpful but I bought a swimming costume from them and I thought the material and fit were really lovely. I did return it though as it had absolutely no support in the chest area which I need. Otherwise I would have kept. I obviously can’t comment on how it wears though.
 
Just seen on LinkedIn that Coggles has gone over to Mike Ashley now too, so sad when I first left uni/had money for the first time they were my go to!!

Where is left for us?! I feel like it’s just small makers and a few safe brands now. I meant to share the Diet Prada post about Lady Dianas CoGs being £53, lots to discuss ey 😂

Hi everyone, what bags is everyone loving now at mid-price range? I am over seeing everyone with Birkins and Chanel classic flap in this economy 😢

To be fair there’s not been anything fresh out for ages. I’m quite uninspired too! Wouldn’t know what to buy at this current moment in time

I think the issue for me is quality. I’ve found a lot of mid price bags don’t have the quality they used to, or are made in Asia. Admittedly I have fell back into love with mulberry, despite them making some bags in China.
 
I think YSL is underrated 😊
I’d love the sac de jour in baby in tan! Or the Manhattan tote. If anyone has either, I’d love to know if they’re heavy to carry?

I know, I feel the same 😩 all the influencers now wear Hermes, and I’m not seeing anything that I’d like

I like Mulberry, the leather looks really sturdy and good quality. I’ve been looking vintage Balenciaga city bags, but it’s more a casual vibe, not an everyday staple. Especially for work

I have the Sac De Jour. It is notoriously heavy, even empty. I can’t do it anymore! It’s been unused for ages. However, I can’t bring myself to part with it. It’s SO perfect. Mine is the small though, and I’m sure you know the small is anything but small! I don’t feel like they’re popular anymore, but I don’t care as they are SO smart and timeless bags like that really never can go “out”.

I quite like Tory Burch at the moment. Some of the leathers are like butter

I think they are really timeless and beautifully made. I had the small size before but sold it because it was soo heavy, I was hoping the baby wouldn’t be as much!

:( It is really heavy isn’t it. So glad someone’s validated it 😂. I have it in navy, and don’t think I’ve used it this calendar year. I did consider selling it, because I’m expecting which really means I’ll use it even less! It also fits nothing because of how the middle compartment is. I do think the baby is super cute though, I considered buying one. I ended up buying this instead, completely off seeing it myself in store. As a Speedy 30 die hard fan, I love the shape.

I’m not really in the market to buy anything new at the moment but I’m finding myself looking the Mulberry Lana styles regularly, I haven’t seen them in person but I think they look lovely.
I’m also over seeing Hermes and Chanel classic flaps.
My pet hate is the mini Kelly, I cannot stand that bag!

Congratulations! You’ll probably need a bigger bag for the foreseeable then! Love my LV speedy and Noe. I have two sizes in Noe and they are both perfect. The Burberry one is lovely too. I quite like the Fossil Gilmore in tan. A bit niche but I like the style

We went for a Burberry changing bag 🤭 anddddd I was at Cheshire Oaks the other month and saw this Burberry tote bag at the Designer Exchange shop (basically preloved luxury) and it was only £320 in immaculate condition, so it’ll be a great baby bag too as it’s super lightweight.

It really sounds like I’m Burberry sponsored right now, I can promise I’m not 😂

I treated myself to a Mulberry Lily in a duck blue colour recently as it was 30% discount on their website. I own a few bags of the range and they are timeless imo- a Lily in black is my go-to for special occasions, small Amberley goes with any everyday outfit, small Bayswater tote for work. The only one I’ve been a little disappointed with is the Billie- lovely bag, but the strap disattaches occasionally due to the poor design.

Aimee Kestenberg make amazing and more affordable bags- the leather is so soft, the quality is really good and offer a good variety of more trendy styles.

Can’t beat the Burberry house check, I still think it looks elegant. I have a coat from years ago and it still looks great even for it’s age
