They are running out, because I think it’s a discontinued style. I hope you can find your size!

This looks terrific on you! Sparkling flats are perfect. And of course I love the scarf!
This is so funny. I just downloaded a game app (Plato) and it takes up some of the down time when I’m in line waiting, etc.I know what you mean! When I get that urge, I do an on-line crossword puzzle until the feeling passes. I like the Wall Street Journal one (free) and the one in the New York Times (you need to subscribe, but it's not expensive). Don't know if you like puzzles, but this honestly works for me!
I think it’s from Cuyana. She’s gong to send me a link. I need to remind her. I’ll share when I get it.
I haven’t given serious though to organizers. I carry so little that things don’t get “disorganized” unless I’m carrying a tote or unstructured bag like a hobo.
Wow! This a great alternative to the SDJ and a great bag all on its own.
I used to buy alternates (never found a duplicate) and I was NEVER happy. I would always think about the bag I really wanted. For example, I really like the Chanel totes. But I haven’t found one that has the exact specs I want. That is really why I keep waiting. Unless I find something I like more (which I hope I do because the price point on Chanel totes is stupid), I’ll just have to wait. So like @vink, for me it’s either the exact bag I want or I just go without.
These are some very pretty soft white bags. I have an ivory and a soft white bag. I really want a pure white bag. I need to keep an eye out.My white/off white/cream family
This is enough colour and style variety for me.
The only gleamingly white one is my Mulberry Bayswater. A variation on a classic theme. These are all quite wearable. And all are in really good condition despite the light colours.
The Dior had some stains but it spent 7 weeks in the Dior spa in Italy last year and came back brand new, pristine, in new limited edition dust bag and box with a Dior book. Fantastic customer service! (Or the SAs really liked Mr Dawn who took it to Dior for me. Always a possibility. Everyone makes friends with him)
This is a top handle Gucci Stirrup. Definitely not a hobo. That is the soft version.
I’m really struggling to describe what I’m thinking of. LOL! But, I’m craving a very structured, semi boxy, arm / hand carry bag though I know they don’t work for me.
Finished the most / least expensive. Now I’m working on Festive.
One more bag went today. Hopefully she will sell the other nine.
I cut out the middle section! It used to be like this. But it used to be a bucket in a bucket! Now it's just the shell.
I couldn’t tell what you did till I went back and looked at the new pictures again. So glad it is working for you now.
You are so brave! I wonder why they put that inside anyway. It looks much more useful the way it is now. What did you use to cut it with? Is there anything you can do with the leftover leather?
Yes, all the time! What happens is, I’ll be schlepping a ton of stuff, a tote and a water bottle and groceries, and I’ll see some stylish woman with nothing but a tiny, structured crossbody bag and I’ll just want to switch bodies with her!
Seriously, there are a few bag types I swoon over and need to firmly talk myself out of. The first is the small structured cross-body. (And I do have one — my BV Mini Montebello. It doesn’t get used very frequently but it fills a hole in my bag soul! And I will be carrying it to a cocktail party next week.) Formal-looking hand-carry bags are another — love the look but I know I need a shoulder strap. And deep slouchy bags are a third, although those no longer tempt me like they used to.
I usually don’t buy dupes. I know once I want the original, nothing else will satisfy me. BUT, I do have an Anya Hindmarch Ebury that I’ll probably never get rid of. It is basically that designer’s version of the Prada Galleria tote. The irony is, the Ebury existed first — apparently, it “inspired” the Prada Saf Lux totes. Anyway, I got my Ebury about 5 years ago, partly because the Galleria bags were everywhere and while I loved the style, I wanted something less conspicuous. The Ebury is goatskin and came with two straps — a black one that matches the bag, and a green one for contrast. I love the feel of chèvre over the saffiano leather, although the bag has lost some structure over the years. I wish Anya Hindmarch still made this model — I would have probably gotten another in a different color.
I've bought a few bags because I saw someone carrying them and decided I wanted to look like that!

I generally swoon over certain colors and have to talk myself out of the bags because the styles don't suit me.
Once I get a style in my head, I can't get it out until I get the bag and try it out. Most of the time, I'll try to find a used one at a bargain so I can resell if it doesn't work out.
I love the look of lady like and dressy bags, but they don't go with my lifestyle. Comfortable mid-sized shoulder bags are what I reach for most of the time.
