I find quite a few bags don’t seem to have zips and I get that this is a design choice but I worry about any items just falling out. I was looking at the Hermes Picotin (not that I could afford it) and it has a wide opening but only one strap to close it. Doesn’t look very secure!

Yeah I don't like bags without zips or a proper flap that closes.

Also don't like chains for a long strap, so many nice bags I'd like to get ruined by a chain.


Considering getting strathberry mosaic next 🤔 it doesn't have a zip haha but it has a flap and a magnetic clasp

I’m looking at buying an LV speedy for a bit of a harder wearing handbag (rather than something leather). Looking at the Damier ebene but struggling with size… 25/30. Any recommendations? Would like it to be able to fit hat and gloves in the winter plus my kindle, wallet etc. and then maybe a lighter layer in the summer. Having a baby in the next few weeks too… so wondering if the 30 is just more practical?

Thank you. Yes, I was thinking of a small bag for just wallet, phone, keys for day sightseeing but I’ve just found the measurements & think it’ll be too tight. I think they’re so cute though & I know I’ll buy one anyway 😆

I absolutely love mine - it fits a phone, a card wallet, keys, a lip balm and some tissues. Totally lightweight. I use it all the time!

It’s worse than that. It used to be 24k gold plated, and now it’s just gold toned.

I agree that most luxury brands are expensive to the point of ridiculous now. I splurged this year on a LV and I’d love more but it’s nearly impossible to justify.

Which lv did you get?

Ok lovely people I need some ideas! It’s my 30th this year Mr HoneyStar has asked if I want to pick out some jewellery (or at least give some strong hinted suggestions)…what would you all recommend? My first thought was a tennis bracelet but would love to know if anyone has a sentimental piece/piece of jewellery they received for a milestone that they still love?

I was out for dinner yesterday with some friends, one of whom was wearing a tennis bracelet she got for her 40th! It was stunning! She just wears it on special occasions, but that’s probably cos she works with children! I’d say “go for it” if you want a beautiful bracelet! Unlike earrings or a necklace, you get to look at it as often as you like when you’re wearing it!! A bangle might be “easier” to wear on a day-to-day basis. Keep us posted please!!!

Does anyone have a Le Pliage pouch? I’m looking at it online for a city break I have coming up but wondering how practical it’ll actually be. I’ll buy a strap to wear crossbody but as there’s not a store near me I can’t look at it to work it out.

Are these the small make up bags that went kind of viral being worn crossbody? I’ve seen people wearing them and they’re really small. If you’re a small bag person it’ll be fine, but personally I can’t travel light so I think they’re pretty useless.

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

Does anyone have any recommendations for a nice low/mid range cross body, but one that can be taken on a night out but fits a decent bit of stuff? Like a small make up pouch/a few bits of make up, small purse, keys, mini hairbrush? Coach Cassie doesn't quite cut it 😅

I got into vintage Coach recently and found a nineties Coach Court bag, can be worn cross body and is quite spacious, if vintage is your thing. The quality compared to modern Coach is something else...
-----------------
I caved and bought a cotton babaa no 18 jumper in the sale. Someone take my credit card away, FFS. I wanted a second hand one, but no decent ones were coming up. :LOL:

I do too but it's v small and having that little strap only would highly annoy me.

I love feathers. Love my feather. Other purchases otherwise uneventful
Got my Mac foundation which is a miracle, lindt chocs for a gift and a rituals shower gel for Brother partay lol

I want the shiny Prada and straw Choo bags 😆

Does anyone know if anywhere still has the original Puzzle with the feet? I’m searching but I feel like I missed the boat. I’d also be open to second-hand if anyone knows anywhere authentic.

I’ve seen a few come up on Sign of the Times, second hand of course. I think they are pretty common on the resale market. I don’t think you can buy them new anymore. Have you checked their outlet store at Bicester?
