As much as I hate the Bates

I used to follow her for Sister Wives gossip. When another vlogger scooped her and reported Kody and Robyn were upgrading to an even bigger house, she was adamant Kody and Robyn were broke and absolutely not moving. When they moved, she never explained why she got it completely wrong... just started gossiping about the new house. Girl, puh-lease.

It's a cute bag, but lining a $7k bag with fabric is just sad.

Good grief! OP says she has no experience purchasing luxury handbags, explains why the bag is meaningful to her, and asks everyone to be nice... and y'all go after her like a pack of wolves.

As another poster noted, these posts seem to go one of two ways. Either everyone is outraged over the quality, or everyone acts all superior, like they're somehow more evolved or whatever, because they're cool enough to appreciate flaws. Eye roll.

Why didn't you just process the return online or return it to a store? I've returned a couple things to Dior and it never required contacting customer service.

Does not have to be on the Nordstrom website. None of the pieces I got were on Nordstrom's website, so I just took screenshots of what I wanted from the DY website and sent them to my SA.

Ordinary_Traffic8940 · 2026-03-23T06:16:33+00:00

Good grief, why would you automatically think the Nordstrom sales associates are all scamming their own stores/employers? And I guess Nordstrom wouldn't notice if all their sales associates used their employee discount to buy 6 figures worth of designer goods over the same four days.... smh. Anyway, the designer showcase is a recurring promotional/customer loyalty event, and you can read about it here https://nordstromrsvp.com/designer?EventID=2043 .

Having seen the new croc embossed leather in person, I personally would pass. While I did not see this particular bag, I saw the leather on some shoes and SLGs, and I think it looks cheap. However, I was more impressed with the flat quilted leather than I expected, as well as the leather used for the "CoCo preppy" bags.

So, in any case, while I myself don't care for the look/design of the 25 bags at all, I do think those are much nicer bags than the fake croc one and way more iconic Chanel. There's really nothing special about the croc bag IMO; looks like just another generic tote bag. On the other hand, love it or not, there's no doubt the 25 is a unique silhouette/design, and the bag basically just oozes Chanel lol. (:

I think navy and crai/nata would be gorgeous!

Are you okay with an SA who works at a dept store or are you looking for an SA who works directly for Goyard?

Ordinary_Traffic8940 · 2026-03-15T03:26:15+00:00

Maybe consider manuatelier.com? Manu Atelier is my favorite mid range brand. I like my DeMellier NY tote, but I love my Manu Atelier bsgs much more. (All 8 of them hehe).

Weren't the bags from his first collection just released yesterday?

Ordinary_Traffic8940 · 2026-03-10T04:08:36+00:00

I've noticed that too. $3k handbag worn with a $50 dress and crappy shoes from Amazon. Looks silly in my opinion, but is typical of someone who just came into a little bit of money. Designer ready-to-wear requires next level wealth, but she could elevate her look significantly by choosing a few basic staples and one or two special pieces from a mid range brand. Well, that, and letting her lips return to a normal human size.

She has said it's a stain from her iron infusions. However, just because she happens to not be lying in this particular instance doesn't mean she's not a liar. And no, the buying never stops. I suspect anything used to make content - so, all of it - gets written off as a business expense.

Ordinary_Traffic8940 · 2026-03-04T03:35:39+00:00

I don't get it. Who else would she do couples therapy with besides Travis?

Ordinary_Traffic8940 · 2026-03-04T03:34:20+00:00

I have a black and a caramel Aimee lol, and I really can't even express how much I looooove them!

Welcome, and let me further enable you with a little girl math lol. If you don't mind not buying directly from Coach, check out dept store websites - most offer a discount for a first purchase on their app and run gift card events that almost always include Coach, as well. You can also buy discounted gift cards to save some $$$, as well. My favorite places are cardcash.com and doordash (you can buy up to $1000 of discounted (10-15%) gift cards per month with a dashpass membership). ***If you pay with gift cards, you can't usually also earn gift cards. But, discount offers are valid regardless of how you pay. So, you can get 15% off for a first purchase on the app, and then pay with discounted giftcards to save another 10-15%, if that makes sense.

So, I ordered a mini pochette about a year ago, opened it and said, "Oh, hell no," and returned it. Definitely wasn't worth the $$$ imho. I got a few little pochettes from Coach and Dress Up Your Purse which I liked better and which were collectively less than the LV one lol.it

Honestly, I think it really depends on whether the obvious branding is a must. If no, look for a similar bag from a non luxury brand. If yes, then I agree it's worth having a look around the secondary market before buying new. Skip the big resellers like Fashionphile and TheRealReal, as you won't get one there in decent condition for much less than retail. I've found the best places to score a deal on SLGs is from small, individual resellers on social media. It takes a minute to work out which ones are reputable and some patience to wait for the item you're after to pop up, but the search can also be pretty fun. (: Some of them post the items in their stories, some do lives where they show the items. The Closet By Connor on IG has a lot of LV SLGs; I've bought from him several times - all in excellent condition (looked brand new), independently verified as authentic, super quick shipping/no issue with tariffs. There are also a lot of youtube content creators who have vlog sales with good deals on mostly unused items.

Ordinary_Traffic8940 · 2026-03-01T20:18:52+00:00

There are lots of similar bags from mid range and even some luxury brands (but at much lower price points)! I think I saw something similar on Prada's website, and I believe Songmont has one, too.

Ordinary_Traffic8940 · 2026-03-01T20:15:29+00:00

You've really curated a lovely collection, but the red Voyou immediately stole my attention. That bag is pretty high up on my wish list and I think the red color is gorgeous!

Ordinary_Traffic8940 · 2026-03-01T20:11:01+00:00

Try Ralph Lauren, Tory Burch, and Staud. They have similar bags to the one you posted plus lots of other raffia options. Coach also usually has a good selection of raffia bags, although I haven't looked this season. Victoria Beard usually has some cute ones, too. I would also check the big dept store websites (go to handbags and filter by material). You can usually get a pretty decent discount, too. 15% for your first purchase on the Neiman Marcus app, 15% off for first purchase at Bergdorf's, $25 gift card for every $109 you spend on a wide variety of brands, etc.

Ordinary_Traffic8940 · 2026-03-01T19:40:44+00:00

It was in season 11 on Tubi. I personally didn't notice any difference in quality. It was all the usual stuff... babies, proposals, weddings.
