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.

Gorgeous 😍

I have decided to go to Regent Street on Saturday to chose and buy a bag. Am I unusual in that I have to see and feel a bag to make a decision? Like shoes and coats it's a purchase I find impossible on the Internet. A trip prompted by an unexpected meet-up with close school friends (just five of us) some of whom haven't seen for 30 years.

Hoping they will focus on a bag rather than the two stone I have gained over the last 30 years. Hoping we may discover our 17/18 year old selves under the retirement plans!

How lovely 🥰

What bag are you thinking of getting ?

iloveshetlandponies · 04/04/2024 15:11

I'm ogling this at the moment

It's second hand but looks good condition...it's Reduced to £500 and also has an authenticity guarantee

That's a gorgeous colour.

Floofydawg · 04/04/2024 16:53

That's a bargain for the Gucci if it's in good condition.

Today and this evening. Both pink. Most of my bags are not pink!

I’d like to get both in more neutral colours as I used them a lot. I particularly like the fact the mulberry has a cross body and top handle - super convenient when shopping etc.

I’m not sure that Gucci is legit. It’s a different shape to my own, which is much more rectangle than the one on eBay.

Looks legit to me. Gucci do different styles of that one and I've seen that version before.

That celine one 😳😍 😮‍💨 gorgeous

Having been in the office today, this is my bag. Who said that these non-Primark bags weren’t practical 😂 although the stir fry sauce is within a bag as any direct leakage would freak me out…

@PegasusReturned I love a bit of Mulberry pink 💕

Ladies, sorry it's a bit off topic, but have you seen the "Overheard at Hermes" and "Overheard at Chanel" threads?
I find them hilarious and thought somebody else here might appreciate them tooGrin

Hermes one: forum.purseblog.com/threads/overheard-hermes.1047758/
Chanel: forum.purseblog.com/threads/overheard-chanel.1047921/

These threads are hilarious, thank you! Although the downside of reading them is I thought I was immune to the lure of Hermes, but am now aware of the existence of the Sac En Vie...

Looks legit to me. Gucci do different styles of that one and I've seen that version before

they do a flap marmont and top zip marmont in several sizes but the shape of them is much less round than the eBay one appears.

I’ve attached a photo of mine for reference - I’ve never seen a legit one that appears so rounded, but accept it’s impossible to tell from a few photos.

Floofydawg · 04/04/2024 19:27

Hmmm I see what you mean. Could be how it's been hung.

I have just noticed it's a mini one

I wonder if that's why it appears a little more rounded? I'm not a Gucci expert at all though 😂 not even owned one I've just recently decided I like the marmont

PegasusReturned · 04/04/2024 21:23

Hmmm I see what you mean. Could be how it's been hung

it could be, especially if it’s particularly well used, it might have lost some of its previous rigidity. I also think £500 is quite low so I’m suspicious.

I’m not certain either way, and not an expert either, but just wanted to caution PP about spending that much on something that was potentially not real.

Yeah I agree

I don't think I'm going to go for it, can't afford it anyway atm. As booking a holiday soon!

toucaninjapan · 05/04/2024 03:34

I think I have a bit of a Polene problem.

When I ordered the blue bag, I didn't properly read description & didn't realise it from the photos, but it's nubuck leather and I still didn't use it even once since getting it 4 months ago because I'm afraid to ruin it. 🤦🏼‍♀️

Crushed23 · 05/04/2024 07:18

Does anyone know if Polene is cheaper to buy in Paris? I have a work trip in 2 weeks and I was thinking of swinging by the store there (hopefully there won’t be a massive queue like last time!).
