Great results and a lovely tote!I wasn't either being able to get rid of the creases 100% but the difference is noticable, though.
Here's before and after pics for comparison:
I like to read both Chinese zodiac and the other kind of astrology (do they have official names??). My boyfriend and I are apparently compatible through astrology, but not through Chinese zodiac LOL. So it's fun to read, but I wouldn't take it to o your friend's extreme! One of my roommates in college had an entire star chart or something made for her when she was born by her mom. Apparently it mapped out her whole life or something! That's too much knowledge for me haha.LOL! On the Capricorn reference. I’m a textbook Sagittarius in personality and outlook EXCEPT when it comes to being flighty as my sign siblings are supposed to be. I’m very driven, organized, detailed, neat and get everywhere early. This debunked the astrology thing to me until I got a friend who ABSOLUTELY and COMPLETELY believes in astrology. I mean to the point where she won’t date or even be friends with people of certain signs because she believes they are incompatible. (She’s a Leo so I was found to be an acceptable friend candidate. LOL!)
Anyway, she “explained” that the reason I have these non Sag characteristics is because I am Capricorn in my moon(?) and my something else. She despises Capricorns but accepts me nonetheless.Uh...I would be batty if there weren’t a healthy number of Caps running around keeping the world in order.
Astrology is one of those fun things I put firmly “I dunno but, I doubt it” bucket. I can’t see how it can be true but, I’m surprised when more often than not people do act like their signs. DD is the very picture of an Aries, DS is very much a Cancer and Mr. S is Leo all the way. Maybe there is some pull on the baby in utero based on the moon position at different times of the year??
I’ve wondered about that with Chinese birth years as well. Many things we think of as folklore or superstition have roots in science. We just may not have found the connections just yet.
What do you all think about astrology, Chinese birth years, numerology, other???
This is gorgeous! I've always wanted add a Ferragamo bag. What a lovely yellow color.
Would you ladies be able to help me? I'm not going to buy yet as I'm waiting to see if more colors I will like are coming out, but if nothing is promising in a few months, I may buy at the end of season. But I'm really stuck on the size!
Is the mini too mini? I feel like mini backpacks have a way of making you look too wide because they're so toy-ishly small, which is why I've resisted the trend all this time. So which size looks less ridiculous?
All honest opinions totally welcome!!

I think it depends on the person and bag. I'm not a large person but I look ridiculous with either very large or very small bags. Yet, I've seen bigger people look fine with tiny bags. With a backpack, I think it has a lot to do with how high or low you wear it.
I’m still in my new Chanel tote!
I was reeeaaaally worried about the weight because when I first picked the bag up out of the box but, all is well. I’ve had it fully loaded every time I’ve carried it and I half forget it’s there. View attachment 4341661
I love the slightly aged look of the ruthenium and the little extra touches on the hardware. View attachment 4341662
So it’s love! And, a great purchase! I paid more than I thought I was willing to on a black tote but I’m glad I did. As @ksuromax was saying. The bags we crave AND know will be functional are worth every penny!!!
I feel the same way about my Chanel tote! It was way more than I wanted to spend, but I use it all the time and for some reason, it never feels heavy! I don’t know what it is — maybe that the straps are the perfect width and drop, IDK — but I’ve had it since May of last year and it still surprises me how comfortable it is. I’m so glad you love yours!
DH said "Oh BTW Happy Valentine's Day" to which I replied, "Oh yeah, that".We're not much for celebrating specific days, I always forget what day our anniversary is...
Lol, we don’t celebrate Valentine’s Day either. We’ve both been sick with colds this week so it’s just as well! We remember our anniversary but don’t usually do anything big to celebrate. For our 20th a couple of years ago, we got a couple of high-end gifts — a Tiffany ring for me, an Omega watch for him — but usually we just make a point of spending the day together.
Yay! Bag cousins!!
It has to be something about how bags are constructed along with the weight. I had a Prada shoulder bag that was medium sized - not particularly big at all - and it made my shoulder and back ache. I loved it but had to sell after only owning it about a month. Even my daughter couldn’t wear it without pain. I’ve never had that problem with a bag before or since.

Thank you! It feels like half of Boston is sick right now. I’m on the mend, and then got in an Uber today and the driver kept coughing. I felt like, “Noooooooo!”

I think you’re right. These Chanel totes are very well designed and constructed. In addition to everything else, it’s one of the only shoulder totes I’ve owned where one strap doesn’t fall off my shoulder. They did something right with this bag!
We always forget our anniversary too! Usually a few days after it has passed, I remember.DH said "Oh BTW Happy Valentine's Day" to which I replied, "Oh yeah, that".

That photograph is fabulous..captures the glow. You can see the softness of the caviar. Beautiful!
