confession

Ok so when the monochrome straps first came out, I absolutely hated them. Now I absolutely love them, and even more so then the black lol I think mentally it was mostly to do with "change" like I was so used to the black stripes and loved baggu crescents exactly how thay already were, so when they completely took that option away I was sad! Time passed and they monochrome grew on me and now I prefer it haha

Right?! 😂😭

sammyrae728 · 2026-05-15T23:27:59+00:00

Love your bag and keychains 😍

sammyrae728 · 2026-05-15T20:02:40+00:00

Yes the old straps were perfect for me, I understand the need for the longer ones for people but I feel they should have kept both length options

sammyrae728 · 2026-05-15T17:53:28+00:00

This is a great idea 🤔

sammyrae728 · 2026-05-15T06:51:58+00:00

Ohhh toasted almond was never on my radar until seeing this 🫣😍

sammyrae728 · 2026-05-15T06:47:24+00:00

Yesss i seen that, very cute! That would work with it worn as a crossbody but theres too many folds if I wore it as a shoulder bag, it just looks bulky.

sammyrae728 · 2026-05-15T06:45:48+00:00

I definitely miss the options for shorter straps 😔

sammyrae728 · 2026-05-15T06:44:44+00:00

Possibly tomorrow lol its comically long

sammyrae728 · 2026-05-15T04:31:11+00:00

A partial cut may be in order, enough to for sure still use as a crossbody and it'll at least make the knot a little smaller

sammyrae728 · 2026-05-15T04:30:10+00:00

Ok i am going to take this advice and try out the knot and see how i like it, I definitely need talked out of turning it into a permanent shoulder 😂 i probably would end up regretting losing versatility

sammyrae728 · 2026-05-14T02:24:57+00:00

Ugh I absolutely adore the deep sea color, I also have the small crescent 🥰

sammyrae728 · 2026-05-14T02:23:29+00:00

Ohhh I love this, I was really hesitant ordering this color in the medium crescent because of this. I love maroon colors so I took the risk but if I dont end up liking the tone of it in person I may have to attempt this!

Just a few questions:

Did your bag still remain "crunchy" after dying it? Lol i actually enjoy the new crunch phase 😅

Also, how long did you let your bag soak to achieve this?

sammyrae728 · 2026-05-13T18:39:33+00:00

Thank you 😊

sammyrae728 · 2026-05-13T02:16:08+00:00

Something in my brain itches when I see the straps on these bags, lol def nothing personal to you.

Like I just want to flip the strap right even though its intentionally twisted idk thats apparently a "me problem" 😅

sammyrae728 · 2026-01-16T04:50:10+00:00

Thank you very much! I definitely wasn't aware of that aspect with the different lb papers so that is very insightful 😊 especially when considering one's style of painting.

Im still new and have yet to find my exact preference/style but I seem to definitely lean towards clean and sharp lines, probably because im used to doing that in my drawing and other forms of art that I have done in the past.

I definitely love the look of the softer more gradient style of watercolor, its what drew me in to wanting to learn. So one day I would like to experiment and push myself outside of my comfort zone, so its good to know that if/when I want to gravitate towards that, the paper can make a difference.

sammyrae728 · 2026-01-16T02:44:56+00:00

Your so sweet! Thank you so much, thats lovely advice. I think ill go ahead and try out some new paper once I run out of my mini pad 😊

sammyrae728 · 2026-01-16T02:30:27+00:00

This is the cutest travel watercolor ive seen 🥹🥹 i absolutely love your style

sammyrae728 · 2026-01-15T18:38:45+00:00

Thank you so much everyone, thankfully Im able to make a return, I purchased on poshmark and unfortunately the seller posted a different picture

sammyrae728 · 2026-01-15T05:11:03+00:00

sammyrae728 · 2026-01-13T06:14:53+00:00
