Okay.... I LOVE the color and this bag for that mater (Bal city), but it looks like someone forgot to add the hardware to this bag (or a leprechaun took the hardware for his pot of gold).
I believe this is the guilty leprechaun
I don’t get the Birkin. So Hermes sets out to design the perfect cabin overnighter with the main brief being that it closes securily. And we end up with a back destroying heavy tote that no one ever ever closes while they assiduously make sure they hide its most distinctive design feature, that weirdly shaped flap. Okay, it happens, no one, not even Hermes, is perfect, but how does a design failure become the most desirable bag ever?! 
I’ve seen a lot of this style from different designers. LV, Coach, etc.. seems to be the new “it” style of bag. Personally, I’m not a fan, but again, I greatly appreciate the variety in the market today and each one of us can express our unique style and buy whatever makes our heart sing.
Could be. Who knows what's going on in Karl's head.
I’ve seen at least 2 people in the mall carrying the bumbag. I don’t get it then, I still don’t get it now. I especially don’t get why it’s being carried this way. It feels so uncomfortable.. ♀️
On women, I agree, but carrying them like this (and for my taste in a more manly design) looks REALLY good on guys for some reason. As supposed to carrying them around their stomach/hips all is good, I guess. That trend will never recover
For evidence for and against and dos and don'ts, see this thread:

I agree with the Neverfull. I understand why it is popular (easy to carry, roomy, functional), but there is an over-saturation, and for that reason alone I wish it would go away or not be as saturated. I don't own one, but I do own a lot of LV, including the Speedy, which is also everywhere, but my excuse for that is that it is "classic", so it has more history.
I also have never gotten the Lady Dior thing. I don't see the appeal or the "beauty" of it. I like other Dior bags, but not this one.
And back to LV - you don't see these out and about as much, but I NEVER, EVER got why the multicolore monogram print was so popular and coveted. To me, it is fugly, and I love the regular monograms and the DE print. Again, to each there own, nothing personal
So I’m gonna have to eat my words big time. After watching YouTube videos and learning more about the history of the Lady Dior, I actually fell in love and purchased one
Since I’m a pre-loved whore I went that route and I have to say I’m a convert. I do love it and appreciate it now. And I got a good deal, so that didn’t hurt either.

WHAAAAT?!! Haaaahaha!!!
Good, bc I LOOOVE these for some reason! Well, probably bc your post made me realize I have a thing for box-like boxes and bags...
@Wamgurl , funny you should mention bc when I found out their price (Goyard), I was so floored that whenever I saw one out, I'd have to point it out to my SO!!! Seriously I've picked them up and marveled. I'm sure they're really great bags. Are they really THAT indestructible?

LOL, I do the same thing! However, when I see bags that I have - I’m quiet as a church mouse!
This screams fashion victim. LOL!It's been mentioned before but plastic bags that are $$$ are ridiculous. They were trendy 10- 20 yrs ago with Hermes,, Chanel and LV making them and now it seems they are back in style. Some people get upset for paying 5 cents for a plastic grocery bag but it's fine to spend $$$$ for one if it's "fashun"!
I remembered when Chanel did this. It's almost like Costco will be stocking Chanel that year.

This has got to be the smartest travel idea ever. I’m totally stealing it.when we travel, i carry my DH's stuff in MY backpack, and he carries mine in his, so when you need YOUR stuff, you just get it right away
“Toothless monster”. ROFL!!!
Best post ever on the Birkin. And I say this as I ponder whether or not to join the other groupies in getting one.I don’t get the Birkin.

And we end up with a back destroying heavy tote that no one ever ever closes while they assiduously make sure they hide its most distinctive design feature, that weirdly shaped flap.

LOL! I can’t tell you how many times this has happened to me. I hate the bag and then, all of a sudden, I neeeeed the bag.View attachment 4010994

I bought a le pliage neo and immediately hated it. But I'm stubborn, so I held on to it and picked up a bag organizer for it. Suddenly it became my favorite bag, and it's what I reach for most often. Understanding more about a bag, seeing how people use it and wear it, can very much change your perception. And that's a wonderful thing!
I’m considering the LP Neo for a workhorse tote and my only reservation is it’s lack of structure. What organizer did you get (if you don’t mind me asking) and what size. I looked at Smorga and I quickly became overwhelmed with the options....TIA!!!
