New thread to show what handbag you're using today, or what you're contemplating purchasing.

I'm lusting after this.

And using this today.

I'm on an eBay spiral now! So much LV from Japan, it's a real phenomenon there.

Oh my god

That pink Saint Laurent bag I bought last week, was authenticated yesterday so I was over the moon and it was getting delivered today

While I was working this morning I got a text that it had been delivered and signed for. but when I went onto the email IT HAD BEEN DELIVERED TO MY OLD ADDRESS

This is my old address that I’ve not lived in for 5 years. On one of the worst estates in the midlands and currently occupied by god knows who as it was was sold to a btl landlord

So I’m at work and I work in aesthetics and had someone with me in the middle of a treatment so there’s fuck all I can do so I rang DH in a panic

He’s drove over there like the clappers as luckily his office isn’t far from dodge where we used to live

And. THANK FUCK the person who now lives there was honest and handed it straight over , they’d not opened it

Jeezus

Think I’ve grown a few new grey hairs

How on earth did it go to your old address @iloveshetlandponies ?!

I have absolutely NO idea 🙈

It's an absolute mystery considering I buy a lot from eBay and it always just automatically comes to my "new" house where I've lived for five years

oh boy that sounds stressful @iloveshetlandponies

It really was 🫣🫣🫣🫣

And here it is the gorgeous beauty 😍

@iloveshetlandponies looks great and I love the smooshiness. Have eBay said how they managed to send to your old address? I wonder if it was the authenticator error?
I have won a cash prize at work and telling myself I do not need another new bag next month...

I have no idea , it has baffled me

I bought a vintage Chanel in March from eBay (using the same authentication service) and it simply arrived at my actual current house no bother!

And I often buy stuff for my work from there as well, again, never have a problem . So weird

Oooo I think you do need a new bag <enables>
What y thinking ? 🤔

I might have to resign from the thread.

I have blown June handbag budget. Not on a handbag again 😂

Picture below of what I bought instead

Totally worth spending the budget on a puppy! I would too!
What is he/she? Have you chosen a name?

@iloveshetlandponies
Thank goodness it was a decent person living at your old home. I can't imagine the hassle if it had gone the other way.
I am currently looking at this LV. It's the smaller version and I do have 2 of the regular size that I use daily autumn, winter and spring. I do swap out for the Neverfull in the summer.
I really like the print as I did pick up a small bag in it last month and returned the next day as it was too small.
My Dd has asked if I need another light coloured bag....

Oh my god

Absolutely gorgeous. As much as I'm a handbag lover he is way better than any handbag

Congrats 🥰🥰🥰🥰

My adult dd is picking the name. It’s a boy and a Doberman. Definitely worth the money!

and compared to my 2 spaniels at the same age he is a dream!

Though I think I could treat myself to a new bag for when I start walking him. 😂😂

@Isabelle70 i love the LV. Can I ask what the neverfull is like? Was thinking of getting one for work. But I think that’s the only time I would use it. I tend to use smaller bags when not at work. But back and forth on which LV I want.

Thank you. I am totally in love!

@Itsonlymashadow I like the NF as you can really chuck everything in. Mine is my work bag and it holds my lunch and anything I pick up at lunchtime. I don't have to worry about the openness as I drive and then walk to work and have no security issues. I know others will use a zip top liner.
The sun seems to have arrived so she will out this week☀️

Just adding:
a) I love my NF. Complete workhorse, solid dependable handbag. Had it for years (it cost me under £400) and aside from the inside marks on the red fabric you wouldn’t be able to tell how many years it’s been in use for.
b) always love a Doberman! Beautiful boy 😍

Enjoying how well today’s bag (Anya Hindmarch) goes with the new dress I am wearing today.

I see a lot of LV NFs when I am out and about in London.

I may have indulged in a vintage Mulberry purchase this week. Isn't she a beauty.

Very nice 😍😍 congratulations 🥂

I was in Harvey Nicks yesterday and surprised to see that they had the new black Gucci camera (? - they used to be the disco) bags in the sale. I was tempted but walked away.. I think the price was £1,400 odd down to £800 odd in the sale

Oh wow that's such A bargain

Ooh, I have the old style in black and I use it LOADS! Would be tempted to buy another colour but I've indulged too much recently.

Ah, I can’t see in online sadly

The Coach Cassie is very similar to the pochette metis. It has been discontinued but you may find one on the preloved market.
