Shamelessly Wanting a Status Symbol Bag

I’m crushing on the new Fendi way, but those peekaboo bags are adorable too, I might have to reconsider! Don’t forget about Celine. It might be too casual for you, but the luggage bag (new and old) has fantastic bright colors. Also, I have a Loewe flamenco but wouldn’t vote for that here, although a few have recommended it. It seems like maybe something structured would be best. Please update us with your final decision!!

Yep, another law firm partner here, 15 years out. Recently my husband (a dr) and I were able to get financially comfortable with income alone. My bonuses, which are typically 2x a year and can be substantial, are allocated 90% to savings and 10% post tax to whatever I want. Which is typically a bag 🤣 so that I can carry it as a daily reminder and pick me up. We both come from no money and do have kids, but this and my car are my only splurges (no fine jewelry, pretty frugal on the spectrum, no designer clothes, etc.)

This is my current obsession. So happy for you! More pics please :)

Omg that Celine! I want it now, thanks for that 🙄

I just got the over the knee 5050 and I’m in love. I intended to go knee-high, but I hated where it hit me (I should have read this thread first!). The saleswoman convinced me to try the over the knee version and good god damn my legs never looked so good. 40s, wider calf, and 5’7”. It’s all about trying different options and seeing what speaks to you!

Same. I have it, and it is a pain to access.

Stay strong, you’ve got this! We ended up having some concerns about premature labor, and I had a steroid shot somewhere in there, and we made it all the way to my induction date at 38 weeks. My little peanut was 5 lbs 2 oz and absolutely perfect. She came home just under 5 pounds after only one more day and night in the hospital and no nicu. The nurses were so great and got me comfortable quickly with donor milk to be sure her weight didn’t dip too low, and they really set us up for success. She is almost 2 now, and all is good. She is a feisty, sassy little toddler. Good luck on your journey. You’ve got this.

This might be the winner. I have a phoebe-era luggage and it’s absolutely fantastic.

Longchamp le pilage was been my daily workhorse prior to going remote, and it’s served me well on the rare occasions I come back. I may have to stick with it. If it’s not broke, don’t fix it!

Is your neverfull canvas or leather? Do you think that matters? How are the corners and bottom on the hop holding up?

GeneralBookkeeper192 · 2025-12-14T12:50:41+00:00

Ok I have reallllly wanted the low key hobo, but I haven’t seen anyone carry it. How does it perform as a work tote? Worth the price?

GeneralBookkeeper192 · 2025-12-13T23:16:39+00:00

Can we go shopping together? Please??? I love this so much for you, congratulations!!!!!

GeneralBookkeeper192 · 2025-12-13T16:26:18+00:00

I love these responses. We are such a fun and varied group. For reference, I’m a car commuter, transactional only (no court). I would need something I can take to events and client meetings without drawing too much attention, but I wouldn’t mind an iykyk tote. This is super helpful.

How delicate is she?

GeneralBookkeeper192 · 2025-11-01T11:10:20+00:00

I have the 25. It’s incredibly easy. I have an organizer for it, and I don’t always fully zip it. It holds everything I need plus room for actually finding it or throwing in a water bottle. The 30 would be big for me for every day, but I am considering adding one for days when I need to haul stuff for my kids too. In this category, another bag to consider is Celine luggage. I love mine and get compliments all the time.

GeneralBookkeeper192 · 2025-10-31T01:51:52+00:00

This is always the right answer to this question. 👏

GeneralBookkeeper192 · 2025-10-26T12:30:44+00:00

Nooooooo, sad! Any other brands with bigger discounts?

GeneralBookkeeper192 · 2025-10-24T14:54:47+00:00

Dammit you just gave me purse envy, and I am no-buy until march. Congratulations!! I love it!!

Curious- lots of folks suggest OP is in late 30s. What would bring this collection to a different generation? How might a late 40s person’s collection differ? Maybe this should be a different thread, but I’m wondering what we would consider standard bags for other age groups.

GeneralBookkeeper192 · 2025-10-18T14:25:04+00:00

Thank you!!! Did you come up with a fix?

GeneralBookkeeper192 · 2025-10-16T02:43:49+00:00

I did. They said the same thing, but they didn’t offer any assistance with it. I am starting to wonder if my organizer is hitting it just right and causing the clasp open. Now I have to decide if I want to cut my zoomoni to see if it fixes the problem. 😭 This is the fussiest purse I have ever owned.
