I know I'm the only one actually taking bags to a comfort to try to hack their bags, or buying Etsy straps but I'm okay with that. :smile:

I'm still going to share my earthy quirky ideas! :smile: So this is what I'm doing with my le pliage to try to quell the desire to buy a cute new throw around lightweight carry all tote. Bag shaper, leaving it open, long Etsy strap.

I guess this quells my desire for a colorful summer tote but...
I still love those loup noir prints especially the black/brown print (that they don't even have on any small or mini shoppers anymore) because that would go with everything in fall/winter with a brown or tan leather trim.
Oh well it's summer now so I can stop lusting (over something that's not even available.)

I really admire your ability and willingness to hack your bags to make them work for you. I’m not nearly so fearless!

What size le Pliage is this? I love the look of it open with the strap.
 
while i agree about Bal and logo in principal, i still love Bal now a bit more, than before, if you look closer at what they offer now, you'll find more options (styles, sizes) than they ever did before! a lot of logo-free bags and in various leathers! and what i like about them, they didn't go down the hill in quality, my all new Bals are superb and impeccably well made :hbeat:
That red clutch with the graffiti on it is super cute! I can definitely see the appeal.

The Bal bag that I really miss is the Town. It's (for me) a perfect size, smaller than the City, but not as small as a First, and with the longer strap so it can be worn cross body. Plus the other thing I like about the (one and only!) Town I have is the rose gold hardware. :love:

That’s a great bag. I’m also disappointed they discontinued it. Love the RG hardware!

You’re so lucky you score that one. I totally miss out on it.

If I was going to get a Bal, this is the one I would get. It is beautiful!
