oh it is so pretty! you look great with it!

agree, it is roomy (bigger than balenciaga city!). especially since yours looks like the one with fabric inside, it must be quite slouchy as well, maybe?

i really like this bag.

Thank you! [emoji4] Yes, if I remember correctly, it's lined with fabric. The weight is absolutely ok! No problems with too much slouch so far because of the solid construction. It was overfilled at the moment of the picture, I'd say...

Spark,

I find my reissue to be more of a challenge than my classic flaps to wear. It could be because of the color though. It's not a bag that I automatically reach for. It definitely is under the radar unless one knows bags. Maybe a discreet 226 in black for work could be option.....thoughts for me to ponder on.

I've tried to like the reissue but it doesn't move me because honestly, it just looks like another quilted bag. If I'm paying premier coin I need unique design or truly iconic design. I know the reissue is more classic than the classic flap but again, so many quilted bags out there make it unremarkable to me.

Never say never though. I like how it's single flap and under the radar.

I absolutely love the Peekaboo bag. It's the one bag I regret not getting years ago. Now they are 4K and I don't know if I want to pay that price for it. How do you find it in terms of functionality?

I have slowly warmed up to this bag and now I love it. It's also on my list of regrets. But resale ones look very tired.

Spark,

Thank the purse gods....the thought of you selling this bag gave me nightmares. I'm glad that your seeing the benefits of this in your collection.

Yes. It's staying. That door is closed.

Yes, I also watched it too long. Looked at the pre-loved models, too, but there are different shapes, strap lengths and colour combinations and I was afraid of a fake... Seems that the price has gone up, down and up again!? Maybe wait and watch the prices? The leather is divine, by the way...

Then I went to Fendi at Selfridges London and during a very nice handbag talk fell in love with exactly this Selleria bag... Thought about it a few weeks longer and then I took the plunge. It's my Christmas purchase and the only one in 2016! Functionality is excellent for my needs. I have easy access to both compartments, can quickly close it with a turn of the clasp. It fits everything except A4 paper - I take a cotton bag for work papers when needed. The shoulder strap is practical when I need my hands free, but usually it's handheld or in the crook of my arm. (I realised that I don't use my zipper closed bags as often as the open totes or those with magnetic or other closures.)

Yes all the pre-loved earlier versions look rather worn. The color combo and size is something that I must figure out first. I definitely have this on my radar.... I will have to watch and see if the price swings low again and grab one. Glad to know that it can function as a workhorse if needed.

I need to get in store to look at this bag! Does Fendi ever go on sale? I refuse to pay full price but like you I'm scared of fakes on this one.

Spark,
Fendi does go on sale but normally it's only the weird non practical bags left....I might have to bite the bullet and buy this one. I am not in any rush though. I need to focus on my combo likes....I think I want this in grey or Colbalt blue.

So DBF is on a family trip, and I always spend Christmas with my relatives (unless DBF and I are traveling abroad) so he asked me to open one of the gifts he chose.

I originally asked for the smaller size, but he said they were too small.

So he got this! [emoji7]

This lovely Gucci Blooms pouch! He said the size was better since I didn't have a clutch. And since it's thin, I might be getting a surprise next trip, even though I keep insisting he doesn't have to.


Also, Gucci is like 40% cheaper in UK duty free with better service!!

It can fit my phone, thin wallet (tried it with the Felicie wallet). I need to see if my back up charger fits and lip balm. The back and inside are suede so it has a little give to it.


Wish I chose to open it this morning though. Would've been great to match my tea outfit.
