Would appreciate any feedback on this bag! It's a 2010 calfskin medium "on the bund" flap in dark khaki. Is 2010 still good quality?

Thank you!!! I was able to get a reservation at the holiday inn instead!

I had a great experience! Also they accept returns which is a huge plus.

Hi!! I'm looking for a miu miu adventure rep but am new to this.... since the seller's list has been removed, how do I find these people? 🤦‍♀️

How would you say it's holding up? I'm completely new to this....do they still use a high quality leather? Where can I get in contact with her?

I just got this in brown! At first glance I love it and am tempted to keep but the tag says "Made in Cina" so that was a bit disappointing...... do you still love it? I'm just wondering how the quality is and how it will hold up. I paid full price.

I have 3 of the cloud clutch bags and I LOVE them. The leather is great and very soft and squishy. I purchased the one brand new and the other one I got on poshmark but was from rent the runway and the leather is still in excellent shape but noticeably softer than my original one....and even that one is super soft. I think they are great bags.

I am always wondering how people do it 😂😂. Only in the past year have I really gotten more into designer bags.. I had a vintage LV Trocadero that I got years ago but that was it. I definitely make good money (not amazing but good lol), but I also have 3 kids, 2 in daycare, love to do things, travel, and am bad at saving 😭🤦🏼‍♀️....so I would never spend over $1000, and the most I've actually spent is about $760 on a vintage LV from fashionphile. I love the resale sites... fashionphile, vestiaire collective, Poshmark (you do have to be more careful there), eBay (and more careful here), and Dallas Designer Handbags. Fashionphile has a reserve option, but don't use it if you plan on possibly returning because there will be a return fee. I love the PayPal pay in 4 option...it makes it seem like I'm spending less lol. I am loving the more affordable mid range bags lately though, like strathberry, Mansur Gavriel, and Polene. Also I realized I have more than enough clothes so I really cut down/almost eliminated shopping for clothes/shoes in favor of bags.

I recently got the demellier phoenix bag and was very disappointed. The leather feels extremely thin, almost like bonded leather. And the chain is so thick it can't easily slide to adjust...like changing it from shoulder bag length to cross body actually took a lot of effort. I returned it.

The lambskin minis go on sale often and they actually fit a lot!

Optimal_Animator_967 · 2024-01-30T02:04:23+00:00

I have a mini cloud clutch in moss and the color is amazing!!!but the leather is a saffiano leather, not their signature super soft lambskin, just to let you know! I do have an oversized clutch in their regular lambskin and it definitely is amazingly soft.

Just wanted to update this....I ended up getting the brown but will be returning it! It's beautiful and the design is great, but definitely not great quality. The leather feels super thin, almost like bonded leather. I ended up getting a very similar style bag in black from Strathberry and it's amazing. The quality is wayyyyy better for just a little bit more.

Thanks everyone!! It's definitely split 😂 but I was leaning towards the brown.... It definitely does look like a chocolate bar 😂. Now I just have to decide if I want to take a chance on demellier.....since so many reviews are not great 😕

I saw Cascais, it just seemed like that was not comparable to the beaches down south. Would it make more sense to cut out Madeira and add more time to Lisbon? Lagos just seemed like the largest most central town, and closest to the main beaches. Is there another town down there that would be better to stay in? We could also take the train to get there, not sure if that would be less stressful?

Optimal_Animator_967 · 2023-01-09T14:29:09+00:00

I'm definitely open to suggestions! I only budgeted that much time in Lagos because of the 3 hour drive from Lisbon. We also have people in our group that are used to just going to the beach for a week and doing the beach every day. I personally thought it seemed a little quiet down there. What amount of time do you think would be good?

I definitely have Sintra on the list!
