i had one friend cut it off

Oh!

@ her cutting it off!

i feel like if i'm going to spend 100+ dollars on something or even 50+ dollars I'm not going to cut anything but that's just me...

She cut it? o__o Wow. That takes some guts Lol.

OK here is the comparison. Dolce is a little longer and definitely wider, but Caramella is taller and the opening is larger and easier to access as a makeup/clutch bag.

For being too old: No. You're not. I am in my mid 30s and I carry one.

Thanks for the reference pics! So can the Dolce strap be pushed all the way down?

Going to take a shower now, will check back later.

Yes, the strap is totally flexible, not hard at all. But, it's supposed to be an armpit bag so it's short. To get inside the Dolce, you have to push it to the side to open the bag. Spiaggia is just unzip and go. If you want more pix I can post them, but I'll have to do it tomorrow 'coz I'm off to bed!

OK, so I didn't buy it. Maybe I'll get a paradiso piece instead because I really like the picture of the rose looking at her reflection and the sushiman!

If anyone sees any good ebay deals of a dolce or caramella in either:

Inferno print (Must have weiner roaster!

)

or

Paradiso print (must have either Rose looking at her reflection and/or Sushiman!)

Please let me know! Also, seller must ship to Canada!

i have a lv pouchette and a familglia dolce, it's exactly the same size.

and this is a inferno caramella, perfect for your makeup buy it now for $95 or you can offer a price...perhaps she/he will lower it.

That link doesn't work but I think I know which one you mean...the seller said that there was something wrong with it.

Thanks for the info, isn't the dolce thicker than the LV pochette though?

not to much. just a little bit.

edit:i guess it thicker cause it's a softer material and it can kinda expand.
