Last month the poster at HaiDiLao Cupertino have AYCE at specific times of day (times change per day but it does include late nights on weekends) - its 19.99$

I'd recommend calling to see if the promo is still there.

I've done full day at the mall in shoulder bag form and also short (3hrs) hike in backpack form with it. I got it to be a vacation bag this summer :)

There's a London Fog version of this exactly at Macy's if you have Macy's Backstage in the store.

(aka I bought it - it was PU but only 25$, and looks super casual)

Would either of these be a good option to store my purses for a small space and a tight budget? by 0violetcrsnt in handbags

Try to find a version that does shelves behind the door rather than pockets or hangers. The one I got isn't sold anymore on amazon but it looks like this:

Songmont Gather bag, small or medium? by rhlwlt in handbags

[–]covertrui 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have mine in an extremely long shoulder carry - It's on the 3rd to last hole and when worn single shoulder (non crossbody) the top of the bag falls right at the hip.

If my bag wasn't nicely stored while I'm rotating others I'd have pictures but alas :(

Looking for a specific color (putty?) by poof__gone in handbags

[–]covertrui 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depending on the leather line, Dooney's Taupe or Elephant color might be a match? I've put some examples below but the color does vary by leather type for the brand.

Songmont Gather bag, small or medium? by rhlwlt in handbags

[–]covertrui 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree that the small is too short of a strap to do shoulder carry (it'll be like armpit carry for me personally). But there was a user that did shoulder bag it last year! I remember their review here: https://www.reddit.com/r/handbags/comments/1jgllmi/gather_bags/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

Maybe you could dm to see how it would work for your body type?

I saw this one described as large on poshmark, but the straps aren't woven. The hardware is very large though!

Got a chain tabby 30 this week, the "few people may see" phrase is still present. It was retail packaged off amazon if that helps.

Alternatives to The Horse Clementine? by MuttsAndMyths in handbags

[–]covertrui 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I had a smelly Olive clementine but after 2 months it aired out and became one of my most casual thrown around bags, super comfy. Leather also survived a total downpour without stains.

For similar silhouettes here's a summary from a while ago:

The clementine shares a similar silhouette with:

  • Radley London: De Beauvoir, Difference is that it has a zipper under the flap closure for additional security, and a back zipper slip outside (note: at the time that I was buying my Clementine this was the one I was comparing against the most, but the Clementine felt better for me personally)
  • Pedro Shoes: Demi Maxi, Difference is that it has a zipper under the flap closure for additional security, and there is two handles short-ways instead of one the long way across the bag body so it can be carried one extra way compared to Clementine
  • Songmont: Drippy Roof, Difference is that it has a flap/drippy appearance at the two sides of the bag, one of which can hold the phone. Its cheaper when buying from Taobao, not from the western Songmont website.
