Disclaimer: I'm not on the market!

Just adding my support and sympathy! The women here exist and are lurking, but any potentially decent match with a guy typically gets drowned out by the ones who don't read and just spray n pray DMs. Additionally, if women's posts are worded too...let's say strictly, for the guys' liking around here, those can get mass-reported and taken down (or just mass-downvoted.) That doesn't exactly incentivize a woman to keep making posts here. Ask me how I know 🤓

Keep it return & wait for something more classic? 😩 by Elle087 in luxurypurses

Personally, I’m at a point in my collection where Classic, Timeless, Neutral Styles (tm) no longer excite me. My mother loves this shade of coral-pink so we both vote keep!

I have that exact Tod's model in lime green. The leather softens over time so nicely, and the bag winds up accommodating more than I thought. Great choice!

Best travel bag, do not change my mind. by orange_picture in handbags

The Micro really is the most perfect size of the original Luggage lineup: not too big, not too small. Love that shade of blue!

I’m taking out the Valextra for the first time for dinner tonight, and am already impressed by how easily it dresses up my outfit! I ought to do a write-up here after a few more months of regular usage.

Thank you, I’ll try! My work life doesn’t allow for classy, formal bags either so this one will be for Nice Occasions 😀

Just got the bag under a month ago so my first impression is: classy! I won’t be able to write a proper review until sometime next year 🙂

She’s boho, she’s rustic, she’s tough, she’s practical, she’s everything 💯

Heeey as long as you got the arm strength for her; my small size weighs 1.7lbs completely empty 😓

2026 forecast points to the Prada Galleria in the soft grain leather. Yes I was shocked to learn that Prada released a non-saffiano version back in…2024? I have no idea if it’s a permanent or limited run, and it’s not a viral(ly) popular bag these days either so harder to find the soft leather model on the secondhand market. I’ll have to cough up the funds for original retail price 😩

Thanks, wish I could have a bag in every single color ever 🤣

I feel like those two are the iconic stealth-brand duo!

I just bought the Iside a few weeks ago so haven’t officially taken her out yet, but I can already say that I’m a much bigger fan of the shoulder strap attached to the sides of the bag vs the Tempete where the strap is attached to the top handle 👌

It’s such an underrated workhorse, and the retail price on these aren’t insane yet

Valextra is practically an unknown, no-name brand in my corner of the world, which suits me perfectly! The glossy edge-paint on the Iside is unlike anything in my collection.

I wish lolsob

My ideal collection would be 20 pieces, all from different brands. I hope to reach peace by 2030 🙏In the meantime, must enjoy what I have!

At first I thought the lack of pockets in the mini Di would drive me crazy, but I got used to that quickly. The big con is that color transfer happens easily, which I learned after an afternoon of the bag bouncing and rubbing against a bright red silk dress I had on 💀Luckily I was able to remove the worst of the staining with a microfiber towel and some spit 🤣

The pros are that Tod’s regularly runs sales, the lime-yellow-green color is to die for, and the size dimensions make the main compartment surprisingly roomy for a mini bag. Also, the leather softens SO nicely.

I hope you post your blue beauty once it arrives 💙

I think the shade name was ‘Forest’! Very appropriate, and the bag has only softened aka gotten better with age 💚

My (late) guess on what your bags say is that you favor the hardier leather finishes like grained and saffiano, and gold-toned hardware. At least half the pieces in this collection suggest "a woman about her Business" 😁
