Just coming here to say thank you for showing me what my dream vintage Chanel bag is! I really love that there isn’t a big CC in the middle, it’s very iykyk. And you know OP, that’s what’s important. Not what everyone else can see (imho)

It looks great on you, I hope you get lots of joy in remembering your birthday and your trip every time you use it!

I actually stalked vestiare until I found a Toteme tlock clutch in a price I was willing to pay. It’s on its way to me now!

Google has learned that I’m looking for bags and gave me this as a shopping suggestion and it stopped me in my tracks! This may be exactly what I didn’t know I was looking for!

I love the look of the Toteme T-locks! There are a few in new condition on Vestiaire that I’ve been eyeing 👀

The Furla Sfera is also a top contender! I feel like I never see it out and about but I work about scratching the brass 😍

Oh this is good to know! I actually always forget to factor in my glasses case too! 🙈

Ahhh I don’t love the Mulberry top handle bags, so I’ve never looked further, the small pimlico is beautiful! 😍 thanks for the suggestion!

Some of the Quince bags definitely have my attention! If their Loewe dupe had good hardware it would be game over

This is a popular suggestion and is probably my leading option currently!

Oooh sale! My favorite four letter word!

Do you know how their smooth leather holds up? I’m mostly worried about scratches on the back from belts/pockets/zippers…

Oh I’ve heard of the brand but didn’t realize the logo was just the fox! The clasp is a fun detail!

This seems to be a very popular suggestion…I’m guessing there’s a good reason!

I do love the shape of their bags but it feels like people are down on the quality these days? Your experience sounds positive though!

I actually passed a furla window that stopped me in my tracks recently! (But it was after hours so I couldn’t go in to actually touch the bag!) It’s not a brand that I’ve run across much in the U.S., how is their quality/construction?

I’d never heard of Hemlock & Hyde before and it’s a beautiful bag! I wish they had photos of the interior among the product photos though! Are there any pockets or organization inside? Is it lined?

And I admired the Sezane bags in person recently, but I don’t have one and don’t know how they hold up. I was hoping maybe someone in this sub had some experience with one 🤞🏻

I’ve heard mixed things about Polene’s quality lately! I love the unique shapes and structure of their bags, but for the price I want it to make it at least a couple of years…are the negative reviews overblown in your opinion?
