lol! we're in the same boat again... i'm still on the hunt myself. the muse and the easy are my work bags for now... but i'm afraid that they're gonna give up one day though. besides, they're kind of heavy with a laptop inside... i think padded handles will be a huge plus... but which fashionable work bag would have that???

alouette - i can't wait to see the pics of your new chanel!!!

college days went by so fast... i wish i could go back and relive it :). we do sometimes live like silly college kids. i'm 24 and DBF is 23, so we're still kinda crazy at times... in fact, i have a feeling that he's going to spend his night in the bathroom unfortunately :(. he drank a few shots too many...

Would you carry your Chanel Portobello to work? Do you want this bag to hold a laptop/files/ etc?

Agree w/ PP would not put my laptop in any designer bag. Ebags has some great either classic and fun laptop bags and sleeves.

[QUOTE=alouette;12020413]Hey gals....posting my Chanel pics...give me your immediate and honest thoughts in the Chanel in action thread.

Woo Hoo, saw S's bag and loved it, now off to see your beauty A!!!

[ryrybaby12]

A- like your bag...I think you surprised me with a reissue as you were stuck on a bag for you and Owen, but I am glad you thought about it differently, and bought something you just wanted. It is absolutely beautiful!

Chic- I am leaning toward the bronze too....still unsure, and waiting for my Portobello before I decide.

Longchamp- you are right, no matter what I do, putting a laptop in any of my designer bags makes me nervous, therefore, the bag I bring will likely only hold files etc....

The nylon bag with messenger though would also be good for a diaper bag. I currently use an older Gucci tote and an older Prada Nylon hobo, and I want something that I could messenger sometime...and that I can thrown my WOC in...

I took my son's sippy cup to pre-school in my Gaufre, and it leaked just a little, and I about died, but the nice thing was that I caught it fast, and it cleaned fine, but would rather that happen in nylon if it happens again...KWIM?

I'm in love w/ this bag, well so much that 3 bags are on their way out tomorrow morning, not really to fund this bag, but know I won't carry them.

The sides can snap up and then it has a smaller opening, but unsnapped has huge opening. Would be great for Mom w/ small children. The strap is definitely long enough for a cross body bag and it's easy to put over the shoulder w/ the shorter straps. It's just a great run around bag, nothing fancy but nicer than her usual tessuto, IMO.

And it's 860 w/ Joanna. Hey isn't that like giving it away w/ the prices we pay for bags these days?

The fumo is my favorite color, not sure she has that, but getting the Rovere when Milan returns from holiday.

I love it!!! You made a good choice, and will probably carry it a lot more than you think. Don't be afraid to carry it, it looks great on you.

Love it.

You are killing me here w/ this mystery bag. I think she was on last night, but if busy, her response is way past our bedtimes and have to read it in am.

I know they got bags, not sure if new styles. Last I spoke w/ her she said some styles, esp the gaufre's would be in short supply until mid September.

ryry - i'm leaning towards the black now after seeing alouette's bag... yes, wait and see if you like your portobello... please post some mod pics so we can help you decide if you're unsure

A - let us know about your other bag that's coming tomorrow!

Bagladee - can't wait to see your pics too... i think you have a new maxi; 'shroom is coming tomorrow, and your nicciolo satchel is coming on tuesday?

my gaufre tote should come here on tuesday.

we have a big bag week ahead of us !

ahhh yes, she told me about the gaufres coming in late sep... i hope they got some new styles last week.. but that could be bad for my wallet...

I have sold off so many bags this year--it's just a shame! My 3 consignors are in love w/ me, which is not a good thing:-(.

Some bags I have bought like the Fringe bag, is to keep just as an icon/trendy one of a kind Prada bag. May not see much wear, but won't sell.

I think for me, the peekaboo is a bag that I would tire of soon, and would be on the chopping block. I love the Chanel Portobello, but not in love w/ it--but I can see why others are.

My sites are set on a BV Cabat right now and maybe the ostrich Prada from resort, so selling more to fund. Have promised myself, that would use other bags to fund new bags and trying to stick to that rule, but it's hard.

I didn't hear from Joanna yesterday. Maybe today.

Of course I am beginning to doubt myself on this one. Maybe it isn't even close to what I am remembering. Lol, it is hard to keep bags straight in my head. What if it isn't even Prada??? (just kidding...I do know that much!)

I do remember when I saw it thinking that it would be a good bag if I weren't already getting the brown Chanel portobello.

Things I remember....

1. it was from the cervo collection
2. it wa a pretty brown
3. the handles had gold hardware where your hand would rest (which actually might make it impractical now that I think about it)
4. there were 3 compartments
5. zippers on the front and back
6. It was C$ 2,625

I'll get to the bottom of this and we'll either love the bag or get a good laugh!
