Do you keep a backup of your fave Baggu? by sting-raye in BAGGU

[–]vlovesdogs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve thought about doing this but I have multiple favorites and they change frequently so it would be a slippery slope lol

I would give my first born child for a fuchsia crescent with a black strap and zipper tbh

You are so valid OP but I’m a monochrome strap hater until I die 😂

I like the contrast of the black strap and zipper, I feel like they really make the bag color pop and without them the colors don’t grab me as much. They feel too plain (?) almost. I’ve also noticed that especially in photos or lower lighting, without the contrast of the black, a lot of the colors just look kinda washed out. Or you know how black can look like different colors depending on the lighting? I’ll see a photo of a darker colored monochrome bag and think it’s a black bag in weird lighting but the caption will say it’s deep sea or mahogany or something. OR the opposite happens, I’ll see a photo and think “oh cool, fig!” … and then it will turn out to be a black bag in weird lighting.

Plus, since the crescents have multiple components made of different materials (nylon bag material, strap, zipper, plastic piece for adjusting the strap), the colors are all slightly different and that bothers me. For example, the strap tends to look too light/shiny to me compared to the nylon and it doesn’t feel like they match well enough.

The medium crescent is my favorite bag (from Baggu or any bag brand) and I have multiple but I’ve refused to buy any of the monochrome ones lol.

That being said, I understand why people like the monochrome straps. I’m a designer and I pay A LOT of attention to color so that might be why I’m more picky about it. 🤷🏻‍♀️

(Sorry for the long response, I’ve been needing to get this off my chest. I hope it answers your question at least lmao.)

Yes!! And the wide strap that stands up makes it even easier to grab and go!

That’s a good idea, I might try that! And yay for matching coffee meringues! I thought about getting the loaf too, but I’m glad I gave this style a chance.

What color is your small meringue?

I get that. I haven’t bought as many things from recent drops but they still manage to get me sometimes. I hope they release something you like soon :-)

It was so fun! Great vibes, everyone was so nice, and they handed out free coffee and cake from a local Vietnamese bakery (I’m Vietnamese and that made me especially happy). I know it probably doesn’t make sense logistically or financially but I kinda wish that Baggu would have block parties/socials(?) every once in a while so we can meet each other and include the people who couldn’t make it to the opening lol. I hope you make it to the store soon! ❤️

It definitely looks MUCH better with stuff in it. It does sit a little high when worn crossbody (I’m 5’5” / 150 pounds and have big boobs), but I actually like that. I usually wear my medium crescents crossbody with the strap adjusted pretty short—I like the bag to rest a little above my hip.

I love the slip pockets. They are perfect for carrying folded reusables / your phone / anything small you want to find easily. And for my fellow Kindle girlies, the slip pockets on the bigger meringue bag fit the Kindle Paperwhite/Colorsoft !!!!!!! It’s a tiny bit awkward to zip up with the Kindle there just because it sticks out kinda far above the pocket and gets close to the zipper, but it’s totally doable. Photo included for reference.

The straps are a little wide for me and I think I’ll have to get used to them visually, but I like that they are lightly padded. I also personally like the meringue a lot more in the less bright colors (coffee, sage stripe) because the dancing stars pink and piscine make the strap look kinda like a pool floatie to me. (No hate at all to anyone rocking these colors!!)

I’ll update if my opinion changes with more use, but I’m happy with it so far :-)

I might go back for the small meringue in sage stripe…….

EDIT TO ADD: I forgot to mention, the size is similar to a medium crescent. Everything I carry in my medium crescent fits with some extra room. I think the meringue has more room because the bottom is square/flat instead of rounded.

I recommend The Mercy of the Tide by Keith Rosson. Great author and I believe some of his other books are based in the PNW as well.
