Beautiful bags! I love totes too. I have to stop with them now too as I have all I need.

Have a wonderful trip!



That is some gorgeous sexy leather!



Wow, she's really beautiful! I love the green on this one, really rich and sophisticated. Equally good for spring as it is for fall. Balanced could be the right term. Alas, I think she is too ladylike for me since the crossbody and the top handle are both short.



The Coach NASA collection is incredibly cool and cute at the same time!
Thank you - the green is what really caught my eye. I do really like it! :flowers:
The strap as a cross body is probably long enough for most people - but at my height (giant = me) - I need a little longer strap than normal. I just measured the strap on my Annabel Ingall and it is 48 1/2 inches at it's longest length; the Polene is 43 1/2 inches. I do like a cross body to hit me at my hip and that may be lower than most as well.
The handle is short for everyone, honestly. It's hand carry, not arm carry.
 
I'ven't bought a new bag almost a year now but I've a Tod's tote on the way which is a planned purchase because I've been looking for a perfect black tote for a couple of year. I don't know yet whether to keep it or not, so I don't count it a purchase yet. :D

However, I fell in love with this mini bag by Lum i. 1) The leather is simply divine and so luxurious. 2) In addition, the crossbody strap is very comfy. 3) Plus it's -25% off. right now. 4) My other bag in similar style fell apart a couple years ago. 5) I can't resist any well made leather bags for a good price.

Can someone talk me out, please? My heart says yes but my brain says no.

Reasons of "no": 1) my new year resolution is not to exceed my play money budget (though I can), 2) lifespan is around 1 year due to high probability of job change (if this happens I can wear this only during weekends), 3) I own similar sized evening bag, 4) I haven't succeed to sell any bags within 3 months to downsize my wardrobe. 5) Terrible re-sale value. I'll get around 10 % of what I pay for sale price. 6) I already have a couple of black bags.

It’s cute but I would pass. Do you have a good consignment store near you that can help sell your bags? Unless someone else is buying me a gift I never go over my fun money budget. It just makes me feel guilty and then I don’t enjoy the purchase as much. If you really love it find a way to save for it first. Then you will be really happy with it. Hope that helps.
