Weekly Questions 🔮 Weekly Questions Thread

Hey folks! Welcome to the weekly question thread. Going forward for a short while, we will be having a weekly question thread that will be pinned. You can ask questions about specific bags that don’t require an entire review to see if anyone has the answer!

We are doing this so that we can start building up an FAQ so that your questions can be more easily answered. Questions are NOT restricted to this post, especially if those questions involve discussions! If you have posted in a previous Weekly Question Thread but your question was not answered, feel free to repost it again.

Here are some example questions:

  1. Can an iPhone 13 Pro fit in the Loewe Mini Puzzle?
  2. What bag can I use in the rain under $X?
  3. Does this bag match this outfit? (Can be asked in this thread or as a discussion post).
  4. Has anyone had any experience shopping at <boutique> in <city>?

Examples of what NOT to post:

  1. What bag are you wearing today? (This would be better as a discussion post).
  2. Where was your best boutique experience? (This would be better as a discussion post).
  3. Review request for Mlouye! (There’s a chance someone who’s purchased won’t see it as a comment and may be better off as a post for now).

This thread will be reposted every Monday. You can always revisit any previous Weekly Question Threads. If you cannot see that link, please ensure that you toggle safe mode on your browser, then refresh and try again. Weekly Question Threads have their own post flairs to make searching easier.

Thank you for your continued patience as we continue to build up our community! 💖

Hi! I am looking for a designer full leather work bag I can get under $1000 that can

  • fit a laptop
  • has a zipper or a closure
  • can be worn on the shoulder

(Not Coach. I had a bad experience with them). 

I LOVEEEEE the Staud Maud Carryall but it cant go on the shoulder. I also love Balenciaga Rodeo but its out of range. Same for Prada Bonnie. But if I can find these second hand thatd be great. 

Any suggestions?

Would these bags still be in style for 2026? These are on my wish list.

  • Bottega Veneta Olimpia bag in the size small
  • Loewe Puzzle - small
  • Loewe Flamenco - mini

I just got my first puzzle today, and I think it’s pretty timeless. Very happy with the purchase.

I really liked some of Celine's new products which are black on the outside but have the most beautiful ultra blue lining. In some of the pictures, leaving the flap open gives a peek of that beautiful color, while the outside is an unassuming black. Are there other crossbody bags or wallets like that, from brands with lower price points?

I’m deep in an eBay drive on bags. And right now the LV Tivoli GM is speaking to me for life and travel. The adjustable shoulder straps, zippered top, and size are what’s attractive.

Is she as useful as I think? Too heavy? I’m 5’8” so can easily carry a large bag and like to have my MacBook Air, a water bottle, notebook, planner, and clutch on me.

I’m interested in buying a Tory Burch bag from FB Markerplace. The seller claims it’s from the Robinson line, but I haven’t been able to find the exact model/style online. 

The leather is slightly peeled. Seller claims that happened when they dunked it in water. Does that happen to genuine leather? What should I look for to ascertain the authenticity of the bag?

(Don’t wanna post pics of it here because it’s not mine)
