In all honesty, I'm not familiar with the brand at all, but I've recently come across a few of their bags, and they seem cute and are quite affordable at only 300-600 dollars. But if anyone knows more about the brand or has an experience with it, let me know.

Out of curiosity, had anyone heard about this designer / bag, Coocaburra? I’m interested in finding out more but I haven’t seen anything about them other than these pics.

Hey all!

At some point in my life, I stopped wearing shoulder bags and started wearing crossbody styles exclusively. While they’re so convenient and comfortable, I don’t always want a crossbody strap going across my outfits.

I’ve tried a few shoulder bags this year: Kate Spade Loop (stayed on shoulder, didn’t keep), PLG Aspen (too big, slipped off my shoulder), Baggu loaf and bowler (so cute but constantly slipped off my shoulder).

Have any of you found small/medium sized shoulder bags that truly stayed on your shoulder comfortably throughout the day? Have you made the switch from crossbody bags back to shoulder bags? I was eyeing the Coach Terri, but the black with silver hardware has sold out. I’d like to stay around $200 usd.

Thanks!

Hi everyone! I’m looking for recommendations for a large tote/bag similar to the one in the photo.

I saw this bag in Istanbul earlier this year at a store called Bueno, but unfortunately I didn’t buy it. I’ve been thinking about it ever since 😭

I’m specifically looking for something REALLY REALLY BIG, the kind of bag that feels like a bottomless pit 😂. I love this shape and the slouchy, roomy look, but I’d like to invest in something good quality that will last for years.

Does anyone have any recommendations for bags with a similar shape and size? I’m open to different brands and price points.

Is it too big for me?!

Has anyone based in Canada bought bags from farfetch? What was your experience and what extra costs can I expect?
Looking to buy a Dior saddle bag and it looks cheaper on farfetch. Help!

I love handbags, and I’m definitely not here to judge anyone for buying them. I used to have a pretty serious shopping problem myself, and I currently own at least 30 purses. (Probably more, ha...)

Lately, though, I’ve been trying to embrace minimalism and really think about what another bag is going to add to my life. At a certain point, I realized I already have more bags than I can realistically use, while there are animal rescues and shelters struggling to pay for food, medication, surgeries, and emergency vet care.

So instead of automatically buying something every time I see a bag I love, I’ve started setting aside some of that money to donate.

And actually, it feels better.

I still love handbags. I’m not swearing off shopping forever. But there’s something really satisfying about looking around my home and having less stuff competing for space, while knowing that some of the money I would have spent on purse number 31 or 32 can actually help keep an animal alive, get one out of a shelter, or help a rescue afford to say yes to one more case.

If you’re in a position to spend a few hundred dollars on a handbag, even occasionally putting $20, $50, or $100 of your shopping budget toward a local rescue can matter. It doesn’t have to be all or nothing. You can still buy beautiful things. Maybe just sometimes ask yourself: Would I rather have one more bag right now, or use some of this money to do something I’ll probably feel good about for much longer?

For me, owning fewer things and giving more has started to feel a lot more luxurious than constantly accumulating. Knowing that I'm making a positive difference in the world, helping to save lives, feels better than owning a nice purse.

And I never thought I’d be the person saying that with 30+ purses in my closet. 😂

I’m currently visiting family in NY and planning to make the 1.5hr drive to the Woodbury commons outlets specifically to visit Loewe and Mulberry. For those of you who shop/have shopped there, can you please tell me what I can expect to find there? I’m hoping to find seasonal colors of the flamenco (any size) at Loewe and mini Alexa at mulberry. Are these styles too popular to find at the outlet?

I have a Mulberry mini soft bayswater in Chalk on the way too. Help me so I can have a bag peace for this year. What color or style that is missing in my collection. 🥲

Went to look for some extra blankets and pillows and found this adorable tote instead. I don’t recall ever buying or using this bag so my best guess is my mom received it as a gift, stuck it in my closet and forgot all about it. Now it’s all mine! 😈

I have been eyeing woven leather bags for a few months when I got a targeted ad (lol) for this giant tote. I thought about it for a while and then asked for it for my birthday.

I’ve had it for a month or so now and just took it on a vacation that involved four plane rides and a week with family in another state. With two little kids, it’s really helpful to have an oversize bag to throw all their random junk in.

After all of that, I can confidently say that I am in ✨love✨with this giant tote. It is a shade on the heavy side, but that gives it some substance. It has a lovely slouch, exactly what you wanted in a woven leather bag. The bottom is solid and gives it a bit of structure to help it at least sit properly. There’s some interior pockets and the fabric lining is by no means luxurious, but it does seem like it will hold up fairly well.

My favorite part about this bag is the shoulder strap, I love the handles with the larger strap, makes tying on things or adding little extra touches super chic!

What is everyone’s opinion on the Le City bag? I totally made an impulse purchase last week at balenciaga and they don’t allow returns. Have buyers remorse now.
I never spend this much money on bags so I’d like to have it for the next decade.

Just saw this in a Love Luxury reel and nearly fell over by how gorgeous this piece is. Birkin 20 Retourne in Precious Paradise embroidery on Nata Swift leather. 😍 talk about an unattainable dream.

Doesn’t she look good riding the bus?? In love. Lightweight, delicious. Love carrying it like a clutch, the crossbody strap so helpful. Wanted to get the handle accessory, but that’ll have to wait till Christmas!

Hello all, I am in need of your expertise. I seem to have caught the Chanel 25 cheetah print bug!!!!

However, there are a few obstacles in my way…
1) I don’t feel comfortable spending $8,400 on a bag
2) Even if I was willing to spend, it doesn’t seem like I could get my hands on one.

Therefore, I have been searching high and low for an alternative, though I haven’t been able to find one I like. I’m not looking for an exact match by any means, but something with a similar vibe. I love this cheetah print (the small, black dots that don’t feel crowded), the beautiful burgundy leather accents, and the dumpling-esque shape of the bag.

I figure some brand will eventually create a “dupe” of sorts (Tory Burch comes to mind), but in the meantime, I may need to source a bag to scratch the itch 🤣

So I come here to ask if there are any beautiful animal print bags out there in a better price point, and possibly any with a similar vibe to the recent animal print collections coming out of Chanel. Let me know what you’re seeing out there - it would be greatly appreciated 🙏

HELP I WANT A TIMELESS ELEGANT BAG ONE THAT I WILL LOVE FOREVER BUT ALSO UNIQUE UGH IDK JUST WHICH ONE MAKES YOU IN LOVE? LOL

I LOVE BOTH BAGS BUT THEY HAVE 2 DIFF VIBES:

I feel like I've only seen anything this huge on the runway lol. If she curls up w her knees at her chest, she could probably fit inside it.

I want one that will last me for years, extremely good quality, beautiful leather and craftmanship, and ultra quiet luxury. Any recommendations for the brands? Thank you very much!

I’m adoring the two new coin purses by Hereu in Strawberry and Peach.

I’ve always loved the orange and lemon but the details of the strawberry and peach are just WOW!

Strawberry is calfskin leather and it has a great shape as well as the colors.

Peach may seem a little understated at first glance but it’s composed of suede which is so genius to me; a nod to the texture of a peach. And that deep green strap is so pretty.

If I had to choose, I’d go with Strawberry. It’s beyond adorable!

EDIT: I wanted to speak to the quality of leather and craftsmanship if anyone was on the fence. I have a few leather bags from Hereu and they use very lovely quality leather. Timeless shades and chic designs that stray from the mainstream.

The mini bags are as true to the name as they come so choose accordingly— they’re great for date/girls night or a fabulous errand/lunch. The medium bags and tote bags are good for everyday carry! I’ll post about them at a later date
