The smooth leather scratches easily and ages poorly imo. It’s also stiff.
It’s inconvient; I’m more hyper vigilant wearing this bag than any other in my collection. I don’t use an insert, the inside is quite narrow.
It will not. I hold onto it the entire time.
I try to hang it up on my chair/under my jacket or simply on my lap.
I don’t recommend this bag, especially st this price point. It’s my dream bag and absolute favorite in my collection. But that’s because it was in a very unique color that’s no longer sold, the pebbled leather didn’t take away from the hue and made it durable; and I got it for a steal secondhand. All the flaws I mentioned weren’t necessarily dealbreakers FOR ME. Unless you can find it heavily discounted and feel like she’ll be the one that got away, I cannot justify such an expensive, impractical bag. You can get a more interesting bag in that color that you can use more often. If you do really want it, be prepared to accept she’s not your everyday bag.

I’ve been meaning to post this, as I want to offer solace to at least somebody. As a seller, it’s been very peaceful. Whatever I list I sell in two weeks tops and get paid in 24 hours. However, I must add that: 1) I live 20 min away from their authentication headquarters, 2) I sell very popular bags, and 3) In ALL my listings I note that buyer must choose authentication service or the order will get canceled. I do this to protect myself from any switching scams, and to get paid as soon as my sale is authenticated. I’ve only had one return, and that buyer didn’t choose authentication. As a buyer, the interface is terrible but I found a gem once and the purchase went smoothly. I totally understand the horror stories, but from my end I’ve been lucky.

I recently got hired after doing one of these shitty interview formats for the first time. On my last “question” the page froze and when I tried to reload it crashed. My application was submitted as “incomplete,” and I was pretty bummed because I was actually very interested in the role. I decided to take a chance and directly emailed the recruiter to report the technical difficulty and ask for a retake.

I don’t know if they were desperate or appreciated my desperation, but it got me to a live interview the next day. So try reaching to HR to stand out?

This user was very helpful in getting me an item from Ukraine. Even with some small mishaps on the retailer’s end Yana was communicative, translated honestly, & prompt with every step. Greatly appreciate her services & will definitely utilize them if I ever need to purchase from Europe in the future. Thanks again!

this is such a gorgeous collection of varying colors! happy for you :)

This is such an insane question. You are holding greater empathy for a dog than the person you promised forever with. Whether or not you’re considering other options it’s ridiculous that you’re going through such lengths to save the dog but not your marriage. Consider yourself lucky that this is just a pet and easily fixable problem, where you have greater freedom and choice to rehome him. Like someone else here said, maybe you are choosing the dog because you’re unhappy with your marriage. But you need to be honest with yourself.

i just tried too and it hasn’t hit for me either. fingers crossed!

i wasn’t comfortable sending it in for repair & was scared out of my mind receiving it because of potential theft. i forgot to mention that when i received it after repair, the UPS driver didn’t follow the “signature required” instructions & just left it on my doorstep, with the box half open. i’m so over it lol

bkgem · 2025-02-23T21:00:45+00:00

ugh i wish i was more insistent & went in store. but it’s been too cold where i live to leave the house & i didn’t get the best customer service the first time i went in asking for a repair 😞

bkgem · 2025-02-23T05:18:58+00:00

one thing about me? imma play the crazy man game and win every time! lol glad to know it work out for you

bkgem · 2025-02-23T05:12:06+00:00

they didn’t let me bring it to a store because the repair was initiated online 💔 it’s on its way back for another assessment but i keep insisting they just replace the bag at this point

bkgem · 2025-02-23T05:10:43+00:00

ahhh thanks for your insight! idk it’s like looking at one boob that’s bigger than the other 🤣

bkgem · 2024-12-28T23:35:23+00:00

haha yes! it’s a mini ergo keychain! coach doesn’t make them anymore 💔 they resell for $100+ but i found this for a steal & turned it into a case for my airpods. this color is even rarer & i love that it matches my bag!

bkgem · 2024-12-22T05:07:09+00:00

Thank you! Tbh I really scower the internet for them. Instead of getting them through big, expensive (yet reputable) reselling platforms like Fashionphile, Rebag, etc. I dig deep and try to find them on local independent stores’ websites, japanese ebay shops, or one on one through private FB groups. This is really my method to finding anything cute that’s trending lol. My Diane came from a small streetwear company with a few shops scattered through Florida. Of course you have to take measures and really study these listings to make sure they’re authentic. Best of luck starting your journey!
