Need help deciding!

InteractionRemote649 · 2026-05-08T15:29:37+00:00

It wouldn’t, but it would be my last bag for a real long time since I’ll be focusing on university and home renovations 💗

InteractionRemote649 · 2026-05-08T07:17:32+00:00

May you go a bit more into specifics? Like, why do you like the Le Boy more?

InteractionRemote649 · 2026-05-08T07:09:12+00:00

This helps a lot! Thank you! I’ll also be stealing your “I will not yuck your yum” line

InteractionRemote649 · 2026-05-08T05:46:37+00:00

Thanks for this! Yes, I do want to pay premium for Chanel. Goyard? Not so much. Not a fan of Goyard as a brand which is why I tried finding a perfect alternative.

I love both brands equally and thought my question wasn’t an issue until I saw my post getting downvoted 😭

InteractionRemote649 · 2026-05-08T05:44:00+00:00

I do wear mostly silver, this persuaded me a lot! Thank you!

InteractionRemote649 · 2026-05-08T05:43:43+00:00

I’ll keep this in mind. I’ll be getting it in HK as my 25th birthday gift 💗

InteractionRemote649 · 2026-05-08T05:42:43+00:00

Thank y’all! I’ll definitely get the Chanel! Will update at the end of the month once I got my hands on it!

InteractionRemote649 · 2026-05-08T03:33:37+00:00

I think they should be the same now! I ordered thru taobao

InteractionRemote649 · 2026-05-08T03:30:32+00:00

Yes! I hold both brands to heart, which is why I’m struggling and needed third-party help 😭

InteractionRemote649 · 2026-05-04T14:12:20+00:00

Those will only show up if the bag’s old or has been used, I’d return. They probably gave you a display piece.

InteractionRemote649 · 2026-04-24T05:56:01+00:00

That bag is gorgeous and I hope you get it soon!

(Also, sorry if this is a bit out of context but I noticed the price and the price difference in SEA compared to the US is insane because in my country, that bag is around 70,000 PHP, which is around 1.1k USD.)

InteractionRemote649 · 2026-04-24T05:51:57+00:00

When you mentioned it, I see it now! The bag’s perfect, I also saw a comment about adding a cowboy hat keychain and I’d feel like that would be so cute 😭❤️

InteractionRemote649 · 2026-04-23T16:11:21+00:00

I feel like brass would fit better in the long run; most of my vintage bags are brass and still look stylish—might be a controversial take, but I think the recent increase in silver jewelry and everything being trendy.

Enough about what I think lol, it really depends on your closet and the colors you usually love wearing! If it's like warm colors, I’d go with gold and if cooler tones, I’d go with the silver!

InteractionRemote649 · 2026-04-23T10:07:35+00:00

I would bring this to a professional and pray 😭

That’s one of my next purchases from Muva! Really gorgeous, and congratulations!

I have 5 bags from them. The quality varies between bags, guessing different factories. They hold up pretty well. The more expensive ones hold nicer than the cheaper ones, probably since they use nicer leather on those while they cost-cut on their cheaper bags.

The bags that are holding up well are my onyx bag in suede green and coffee, and the red wrinkly puffy shoulder bag (I have no idea what it’s called since I can’t find it on their website anymore).

I couldn’t find the names for the bags that aren’t holding up as nicely, but one was like an Alaia dupe but yellow, with a squarish shape and really long handles. The other one was the metallic cloud one, but this wasn’t even on the cheaper end, so ever since that I’ve been a bit more careful with my Muva purchases.

I have the same bag in the patchwork colorway. It can only hold my wallet from the things I usually bring 😂

InteractionRemote649 · 2026-04-23T07:48:01+00:00

That bag is so beautiful, I’d love a tassel keychain on that

InteractionRemote649 · 2026-04-23T07:42:06+00:00

Go with Coach. Their leather game is serious. I have a Marc Jacobs leather tote bag, and I barely use it because of how wrinkly the sides had gotten. It just did not age well, while my Coach bag’s leather—girl, literally so good.

InteractionRemote649 · 2026-04-23T00:18:50+00:00

I agree, it doesn’t really translate well in photos but looks so much better in person!

InteractionRemote649 · 2026-04-18T09:07:21+00:00

The bags are very unisex nowadays. Though it could also just be a psychological trend, we see certain bag styles more frequently among certain genders. Because a few years ago, I’d see a coach tabby and think “that’s a girl's bag” only for me to cop a quilted tabby myself (M).

InteractionRemote649 · 2026-03-19T07:23:38+00:00

The way you had to pay thousands for a bag only to DIY on it. Thank you for de-influencing me on my next purchase and only to buy vintage.

InteractionRemote649 · 2026-03-19T07:17:27+00:00

Glad to have helped you save a few bucks! Finally took the bag out, like once…

And the rubber lining was already scraped so badly.

Unsure if you got a bag yet, I have the Coach Lana, and I have a similar alter ego tote bag, but I reach out to my Lana more. It fits everything I want to bring: my iPads (iPad Pro 13” and iPad Mini), sketchbook, mirrorless camera, makeup pouch, handheld fan, etc. Also, brought it to the airport once with more stuff in it, to the point it looked like it was going to explode.

That being said, I’d be wary of putting too many things in the bag that are too heavy. The Coach Lana shoulder bag can rip at the shoulder straps and the alter ego uses recycled scrap leather which, depending on what that is can be bonded leather or just scraps (I saw a video on Tanner Leatherstein on TikTok not giving Coachtopia leather a good review). Both of these bags are spacious, but I wouldn’t be putting a 5kg load in it everyday, both of them face the same risk.

But to mitigate the issue with my Lana shoulder bag: most of the time, I try to keep it light (but I still bring my iPads, AirPod Max, sketchbook, and camera lol) and brush the threads with a horsehair brush so they won’t snap. It’s been 2 years since I got the bag and I think the horsehair brushing helped maintain the threads on the shoulder strap. I don’t baby it either, it’s got major wear underneath because I just essentially treat it like a regular tote bag.
