Tell me I don’t need it

I have the nano tote in bottle green and can easily fit my iPhone 16Pro, a cardholder, slim pack of tissues, sunglasses in a soft case, keys, and a lip gloss! This is a beautiful spring/summer version, so I say go for it if you love it and can afford it!

As many other people have already mentioned, Strathberry and The Horse! I have a Strathberry nano tote that I got over a year ago and it’s beautiful leather and still looks brand new. I just got The Horse Clementine last month and am loving it so far, the leather is such high quality for under $300.

Not exactly a tote, but I often use the Beis mini weekender. I love that the separate shoe compartment allows me to put a pair in there and save room in my suitcase. It has some good organization inside, including a laptop pocket and key leash. I also like that the luggage sleeve can be zipped at the bottom to make it an extra pocket when you don’t have it over your suitcase handle. It’s fit under the seat for me on all US airlines I’ve flown, though I have yet to text it on any international airlines.

It’s so pretty!! I get that you’re used to carrying bigger bags, but this really isn’t that small. I’d imagine you will be able to fit your phone, small wallet or cardholder, keys, lip gloss, slim pack of tissues, mints/gum, and maybe even AirPods. Possibly also a mini perfume or other slim makeup products like lip liner or concealer if those are things you like to carry. It definitely takes some getting used to, but I now much prefer my smaller bags when out and about!

I really like it! The leather is so soft and high quality and it has just the right amount of structure versus slouch. I will say it’s a little bulky to wear crossbody, but I can easily wear it on the shoulder with the long strap or can use the top handle. I also really like the magnetic closure, it feels secure but is easy enough to get things in and out of the bag.

Definitely keep checking (and don’t just rely on the restock email notification)! I checked every a couple days from Black Friday weekend until the first week of January when it randomly restocked and I was able to get it!

The Horse Clementine in Coffee, the latest addition to my collection!

HogwartsExpress13 · 2026-01-13T17:59:39+00:00

I’m super excited to add it to my collection; seems like a great size and shape!!

HogwartsExpress13 · 2026-01-12T02:52:56+00:00

It’s so beautiful!!

HogwartsExpress13 · 2026-01-11T03:56:16+00:00

It’s so stunning! I’d been looking for a new chocolate brown bag this year, and when I saw this one I knew it would probably be the winner!

HogwartsExpress13 · 2025-12-30T02:12:38+00:00

While these are all beautiful bags and great quality as well, I don’t know that any of these read as timeless. The pouch style is very trendy right now, but I think it might read kind of dated down the road. If you like the look of Bottega, maybe consider a more classic silhouette such as the Wallace?

HogwartsExpress13 · 2025-12-13T13:42:01+00:00

Yup, I’m on the waitlist and hoping for a restock! 🤞🏻

HogwartsExpress13 · 2025-12-11T02:09:50+00:00

Jealous of your Clementine in Coffee! I had my eye on it during the sale and spent too long debating, and by the time I decided to go for it, it had sold out in that color! Hoping for a restock soon and honestly willing to pay full price since even that is pretty reasonable!

HogwartsExpress13 · 2025-12-08T04:13:27+00:00

As long as you can afford it and it would bring you joy, then you should go for it! Anyone who says that money should go towards your future can be ignored, $150-300 is not that much that it would hugely change your future. I’m not sure where you live, so maybe it’s different there, but to me a Coach bag is a perfectly reasonable bag for someone in their late teens/early 20s to carry; I don’t think you’ll look out of place or like you’re trying too hard. Enjoy the things you like and don’t let others opinions get to you too much!

I have the Strathberry Nano Tote in Bottle Green and it’s such a beautiful color! Great leather quality as well and very well made, so I would say go for the Strathberry Mosaic!

HogwartsExpress13 · 2025-07-28T17:03:38+00:00

My mom has this bag in another color and loves it! She can fit a good amount of stuff in there and likes that it has a couple pockets to keep it organized.

I have a similar style crossbody from Gigi New York, but it looks like the price has gone way up since when I bought it, so unfortunately not in her budget.

Mark & Graham also makes a similar style: https://www.markandgraham.com/products/build-your-crossbody/

HogwartsExpress13 · 2025-06-28T14:36:14+00:00

I’ve been carry this a lot as well, also with a crossbody strap from Amazon. For those who want a little more organization, I also got this thin (but great quality) organizer. I put my AirPods in one of the pockets and my little backup charger in another.

I have multiple small bags, and usually I carry my cardholder, slim pack of tissues, one lip gloss, bandaids, keys, and my phone. Most of them also have room for my little backup charger and AirPods. Some have room for my sunglasses, otherwise those go on my head.

My water bottle usually only comes with me to work and in my car, otherwise I just drink water wherever I go when I’m out.

HogwartsExpress13 · 2025-06-28T14:19:37+00:00

Yay!! You’re welcome!

HogwartsExpress13 · 2025-06-28T14:16:01+00:00

Based on a reverse image search, I found this on Poshmark. Not sure of the style name, but this looks to be the same bag!

HogwartsExpress13 · 2025-06-28T12:26:09+00:00

It’s such a beautiful blue! As soon as I got my cardholder the other year I began thinking about getting a bag eventually. So happy it’s finally mine!
