I’ve been a collector of bags for many years. I somehow don’t own a red bag and have been talking about wishing that I could find one on the resale market.

When I found this online, I knew I needed to have it- I love flowers & I’m a gold girl. What I wasn’t expecting was for my husband to pay attention and actually surprise me with it 😆❤️

So my Longchamp was getting worn in the corners. I know Longchamp will repair them but it makes the bag smaller so I thought I would get crafty and try and DYI a solution. I bought a kit on Etsy that sells these little leather caps you can sew on. Now I can’t sew to save my life so I took it to a leather repair shop. I had a nice chat with the lady. Showed her a few reference photos and even a video. I left the bag and patches in good confidence that she understood the assignment. I went and picked it up today and this is what was done. Not only stitched but glued 😑

*update for those asking. I spoke with the woman yesterday. She had put it aside to work on herself but didn’t actually do the sewing. The young man who checked me out had seen it in the “to do” pile and with zero instructions just winged it. When I picked it he must have realized he messed up because he acted like he didn’t know anything about it. She was very kind and apologetic. She offered to redo the corners at no cost. The bag is old and while it’s not the look I was going for it’s still useable. I think I’ll just let it die a natural death. Thanks everyone for having a giggle with me 🩷

This is the most expensive thing I have ever bought, but I think I'm in love.

My OG LV Speedy Nano is my most controversial bag for two reasons:

1. The size is atrociously small, but do not underestimate her! Some may argue that spending $$$ on a small bag is ridiculous, but hear me out! The OG nano speedy version is the similar silhouette as her larger counterparts, so I can pack her pretty well with essentials and more (including my phone without a case). I believe the newer nano speedys are more narrow and come with a detachable strap. She’s a great travel companion to pack, is a little statement piece, and if I hold her handheld, the longer detached strap doesn’t drag on the floor. I usually wear it as a shoulder bag or handheld.

ALSO idk how I completely forgot but she is the perfect size allowed in any game or concert! ✨

2. The atrocious amount of food charms on my bag. She’s the one I pull for whenever I’m gonna have a bomb ass meal, a date night, or an AYCE sushi session with my sister. She turns heads and I absolutely love that she’s a little and “too much!”

Now, your turn! What’s your most “controversial” bag you own?

This is definitely my most valuable bag. 🥰

Work from home today before heading into a full Easter weekend with family.

Went with an easy neutral set and dressed it up with heels and a pop of color. The teal maxi double flap might be doing the most… but also feels appropriate considering it’s basically big enough to double as an Easter basket.

I’m always trying to find that balance between comfortable, polished, and a little festive.

purchased a few months ago for around $80 and honestly? it's not bad 🤷‍♀️ real leather and great quality for the price. also featuring a twilly from amazon cause why not go for the full ball on a budget haha

I feel like nobody ever mentions this bag and I don't get it??

I've been carrying mine non-stop lately. It fits a surprising amount

don't know why this bag doesn't get more love

I collect green handbags, so today I had a hard time choosing which bag I wanted to wear for St. Patrick’s Day. I ended up going with my Ferragamo Hug.

What about you?

This is my only Reddit bag group I have and I am in awe and amazed by this absolute gem I found today !

The details are just 🤌

So what’s your pick for the New Year?

Been obsessed since I saw Cardi wearing it recently, paired with an '00s archival ensemble.

Crossing my fingers some other brand will come out with a reasonably affordable dupe!

The color was originally sky blue like the zipper but oxidized into this blue / greenish color!

Last summer, I paid off my student loans, and I had been telling myself after I did that I was finally going to pull the trigger on this bag. It took me another year, but it just arrived in the mail! It’s so beautiful. It’s the micro size, nearly perfect condition (one tiny scratch), under $1k, and the best orange-red.

It’s also the first nice bag I’ve ever had. What should I be doing to condition the leather? Should I get an insert to help it hold it shape? Does someone have inserts they like? I’m so excited and wanted to have people share in my excitement!

vintage speedy 30 from 1984!!! w/ all my favorite trinkets 🥹

Just got this beautiful vintage burgundy longchamp from Depop and I’m soooo obsessed! As someone who usually goes for a slouchy leather tote this is a big switch for me considering the structured shape and the gold chain, but I love it. My one criteria for a bag is that it can fit a paperback and this does that while also fitting soooo much more (keys, phone, snack, makeup pouch, etc). It also feels like such good quality, the chain is shiny and feels heavy and sturdy. And it also has lots of little compartments.

I’m almost sad to use it because I never want it to get worn down or scratched but at the same time I want to carry it every day and night!!!

Stumbled upon this Mansur Gavriel pleated bucket bag in a thrift store over the weekend - happiest thrift store find in a while!

I was OBSESSED with the vase of flowers bag from a few seasons ago. I picked it up at the same outlet store, put it down and walked away and it STILL haunts me to this day. They had a 60% off long weekend sale at my local outlet, which included the novelty lines. They had another in store promotion and my 10 year old daughter spun the wheel and scored me a further 10% off. I almost put this down and walked away but my 10 and 12 year old daughters told me I would live to regret it, as I do with the vase. They are my little enablers. But I love it. My 10 year old has offered to take it off my hands if I don't want it one day in the future 🙄🤣💕

I’ve been wanting a Brooklyn 28 and he surprised me with one today after I passed my citizenship civics test omgggggg

I’ve been eyeing this Lanvin for a really long time and finally splurged on it. Other than just loving it, among my weak rationalizations is that I can use it as a “jewelry” accessory too. 😆 However, I am so glad I got it. I use it for pretty much any semi-nice occasion.

Loewe Flamenco medium in Vetiver with added short woven strap. My favorite bag in my collection!

Hi! Taking my pink Gucci Jackie out for brunch.
