What is the weight of the Evelyne lll pm when empty and what is the width of the strap?My dear Elaine, it looks like there are a number of us trying to enable you towards your first Evelyne.
@catsinthebag has shared how useful and practical the bag is
@lynne_ross has mentioned the outer pocket and the beauty of Clemence for this style of bag
I will add that I enjoy Etoupe and Etain in my collection. I have an Etoupe Evelyne III PM, as does catsinthebag. It is one of my most frequently carried bags. It is a wonderful year round neutral. I carried mine to the hockey rink today.I also have an Etain Bolide, which is a year round neutral. I checked the Canadian H site and both colours are available. Here are a few pics to assist you with your research. The colour is better reflected in the top two pictures, the lighting in the third is a bit muddy. Feel free to ignore us if we’re getting to be obnoxious.

I googled lori grenier silver safe keeper and I saw bed bath and beyond had it.I checked, and they don't have it. But I'm going to look into some other options.
I hope you like the book! She's certainly given me a lot of good ideas, and so far I haven't spent a dime. Just reassembled what was already in my closet. Though I'm only halfway through the book. I may go shopping yet!But at least if I do, it won't be my usual "boring black"!
Ummmm...I just bought one in oxblood.
Hey identical twin - where did you find the Bandit?
I was surprised as well. eBay seems to have some really wacky rules.
This is pretty!!! I had a hard time finding a jewelry case that worked for me as all of them have loads of places to put small but not large earrings, relatively fewer spaces for other pieces and almost nothing for differently shaped pieces.
Then I found this modular system and I LOVE it!!!!! I could buy as many sets as I needed so have the perfect spot for every single piece I have with some growing room.
Plus, it looks sleek in my closet. It doesn’t, however, prevent tarnish - hence me off loading my silver jewelry.I use this one for earrings, bracelets, pins, my watch, etc. (same item in the next 3 pictures)
And, I use a couple of these sets for necklaces and bracelets.
I keep my most expensive pieces in beautiful individual cases that my jeweler gives me. They are several steps up from the typical PU leather covered thin cardboard jewelry boxes and do a wonderful job of storing those items. I’ll try to remember to snap a pic when I’m back home.
I wore my new Chanel tote yesterday and it was perfect. I was worried about weight but, I had it fully loaded in different ways during the day (laptop and files during the day / personal stuff and 2 bottles of wine for girls’ game night in the evening LOL!) and no problems. I wanted to carry it again today but, I have a full day being client facing so, that means plain Knomo tote. Then this evening is my Alma Mater’s annual alumni dinner so, that means plain Proenza Schouler bag. 
I’m glad I didn’t sell the PS yet because I do need an unbranded bag but, I still want to replace it.

I love seeing this bag - so bright and cheerful and I love the strap!
Lucky you’re here in the bag thread. No telling what might happen if word spread to H SOTD!I know….
It was really hard to make the first cut - I took a big breath first!
This is totally me. I wish I could carry the slouchy-cool bags, but in reality, the black hole of death is too much. Same with small bags — I wish I could be that person, but I’m not!
Re. exotics, they are a “no” for me as well. I can take croc in small quantities (my watchband is croc), but in a bag, I don’t want it. It’s not that the animals creep me out, it’s that I want to think of the animals in their natural, living form, NOT as a bag I have on my arm. Yes, plain leather bags come from animals as well, but somehow it’s not as in-your-face. I guess I’m just going to be inconsistent on this one! I will also never own an ostrich bag because I don’t like the look of it — an SA once said to me that ostrich makes her think of a skin condition and I’ve never been able to shake the mental image!
Seller can ask feedback being removed when the case is still open because it's forbidden to mention anything about ongoing case. I left a negative to a seller to warn others about a fake bag sold genuine but seller got it successfully removed. I bet it's not the first time of her selling the fakes.
I adore the red bag (LV?) next to YSL. Very chic.
Thanks! I'll give it a try and use it for a while. It's well-made after all which I appreciate. Only issue here is me who made the purchasing decision within a minute without touching the caviar.
I've used my lambies only a month but I do believe my lamb card case in the same model would withstand the test of time. I did iron my lamb tote for fading the creases and it turned out being fine.
How about your ivory Chanel? Have you decided whether to keep it or not?
How Dior lamb is compared to Chanel lamb? Is the feeling both as luxurious and less delicate? There's no Dior sale point in my country but I might be able to pay a visit during my summer holiday if it's worth it.
The strap is 2 inches wide (this is the same on both the PM and the GM, btw).
I don’t have a small scale so IDK about the weight, but I’ve never had an issue with the weight of a PM. I have had an issue with the GM, but that’s because I load it up more! Also remember Epsom will be lighter than Clemence.
