This is insane.I was held up with work stuff (why do I have to be an adult??) so I was later than I wanted in getting my tote from the post office.
And, THIS is the condition of the box!!!! View attachment 4331781 What in the world???So I’m going to wait til I get home to (fully) open it. This is ridiculous.
2019 resolution - shopping my own bag and wallet collection. Any one else?

Oh NO! Is the bag okay??
I wear the little red Dora BB more for everyday. I wear the Dora MMs more for travel.I love your BV baseball hobo and your Dora. Which Dora do you wear more frequently?
Thanks! I love red epi.
Her date code is 1996.
I got the new one (reverse mono) and it's adorable. I also love my Petite Boîte Chapeau. Both newer from LV and bags I really couldn't resist! The new suitcase bag coming out is one that I know I'll be tempted by, but probably not enough to add to my collection. I always have my eye on the prize with Hermes and the non-H bag I'm most interested in right now is the Chanel Trendy CC, size small in the beige color with gold hardware. I've been looking at that bag for years, but the price tag is so high that I likely won't get that either.Thanks! I love red epi.
Is it this style?* It's very cute!

There's a post up today on the Purse Blog today about whether no top zipper on a tote is a deal-breaker. For me it isn't, since I live in a small town. And even for my zippered bags (like my 3 Balenciagas) I never zip them up. But I understand where it definitely would be a concern for city-dwellers.
For me, a deal-breaker is a bag that doesn't have a zipped pocket on the inside, at the back of the bag. It doesn't have to be large... in fact, small is good. But it absolutely has to be there. It's where I put my car keys, my house keys, and my little mini-pen. Those are three things I use all the time, and I HATE fishing for them inside a handbag. And this is why, even though I adore the look of it, I will never own an Hermès Evelyne. 
Any bag design deal-breakers for anyone here?

I put up with a lot of things I don't like in bags so I guess nothing is an absolute deal breaker. I like at least 2 pockets, either inside or outside, but 3 are better. I put my card case in one, my phone in another, and my lip balm in another. They can share a pocket if necessary.There's a post up today on the Purse Blog today about whether no top zipper on a tote is a deal-breaker. For me it isn't, since I live in a small town.

I keep my bags zipped closed. I'm kind of fanatical about this. It is more for looks than security. If I have a bag that is open, I'm fine with it as long as it is deep enough that stuff isn't sitting right near the top.
I won't get bags that are hard to open and close. There are some vintage Coach and Dooneys that have a buckle closure. That is too much work! The designers figured it out eventually because later designs had a magnetic snap under the buckle.
I need a strap that fits on my shoulder but I have some bags that don't meet this requirement and I still like them.
There are some colors that I absolutely hate, so I guess that could be a deal breaker.
I try to avoid colorblock or multicolor bags even if I'm drawn to them because they are hard to coordinate with clothes.
Faux leather would be a deal breaker.
These days any bag that is too small to hold my long wallet and sunglasses is a deal breaker. I have to keep reminding myself of that so I don't get any more small bags.
Take a look here! https://www.********.com/on-trend-the-chanel-trendy-cc-bag-reference-guide/ It's the one with the handle on top and the shoulder strap, in the smallest size. I do love it, but I would love it more if I could find one in great condition pre-loved!
Oh my goodness! I really hope that your item was not damaged. And can't the post office do anything to make this situation better? That's really terrible!I was held up with work stuff (why do I have to be an adult??) so I was later than I wanted in getting my tote from the post office.

What a great question! I can't really think of anything off the top of my head. I'm not a huge fan of certain colors, like some metallics in some bags, so that might turn me off completely. I do also like the option of fully closing a bag for security reasons, but I will forego that if an open top bag is easier for travel (and worth the extra effort of taking care to conceal and protect my valuables inside). My Mom didn't want her Neverfull so I used it on a flight home and it's just more practical to have that much space in a travel bag. I don't really use inside pockets on any of my bags except occasionally so that is not a dealbreaker for me. I don't like bags that are too small that they really won't fit anything. For example, I like the Petite Malle but will never get it (unless I found an insane deal) because it doesn't fit as much inside as I would like. Or I would have to buy new SLGs to make it work.There's a post up today on the Purse Blog today about whether no top zipper on a tote is a deal-breaker. For me it isn't, since I live in a small town.

I remember sneaking ten minute hot tubs when I was carrying my twin girls (24 years ago now). Felt like heaven, even with the temperature turned down!
I have just a few deal breakers that I’ve learned NEVER to ignore.There's a post up today on the Purse Blog today about whether no top zipper on a tote is a deal-breaker.

1) Size - has to fit my phone. And unless it’s an evening bag or special use bag, it also needs to fit my sunnies.
2) Can’t be heavy - I don’t have a specific weight. But, I know if it won’t work.
3) Must be beautiful - I don’t care if it’s a workhorse / carefree / whatever. I will NOT carry a bag that I don’t think is uber attractive.
4) Divided sections - can’t have them in a bag, must have them in a tote. The exception is my Fendi BTW. I love the dividers in that bag.
I like this bag a lot! It’s so much less expensive than Hermes. Why wouldn’t you add it as a fun bag?
