I was able to find the bag and shoes from the collection. Part of me feels like I should’ve got the yellow mini with the crystals on the handle because it’s more structured and I’m worried about it the handle getting dirty or worn.

Wow! Always love all matchy matchy shoes and bag. Enjoy and wear them in good health!

I don’t think it was a runway piece. I saw it on leurstyle on IG. Comes in black and yellow, too.

Is it just me or are the non-runway pieces often better? I got two dresses today, neither of which I knew about, but my SA picked for me. I’m in some sort of in-between level where she orders from the buy books for me, but I can’t pick my own stuff.

You and I are always on the same page. I have this on hold for me to try this week.

No. It’s a seasonal bag. Note the hideous wood handle bar
Lol, I bought this very bag today in NYC \_(ツ)_/¯ I would have preferred it without the wood handle but wasn’t bothered by it. Took a long time to decide between this and the coco handle in the same color (I REALLY wanted this color), but in the end I decided the coco handle was too big for me (they did not have a small in stock), and I don’t prefer a textile lining. Really tough decision. I’m taking it out for a spin next weekend when I go out to brunch. Hoping I don’t have any regrets.

Ladies, I just got this (liking this season's brown shade) but have 2nd thought if I should change it to coco handle?

Any thoughts? If you're me! :confused1:

I am 100% supportive of changing it to the coco handle style, which I got in small brown too. The shiny gold hardware and the not-too-loud chain detail on the handle makes the coco handle more classy and less old looking. For the style you have chosen, I would have gone for the bigger backpack version. However after comparing both in store, the cch won hands down for me. The make of the cch feels higher in quality (and even if the corner wears off a little, it’s not that obvious on this brown shade). The material for the style you have chosen feels softer and cheaper and a bit too floppy imo. In the long run, the cch style is going to give you more mileage, although it costs way more, it’s worth it I feel. HTH!
 
I bought the navy and light blue mini top handle as well and it’s lovely! Finally able to add a navy blue to my collection. I also did a comparison between the NB356 light brown and this season’s light brown, in case anyone is interested. This season’s light brown is lovely as well and I went home with it in the coco handle style.

Thanks for taking a photo of them side-by-side! What a useful comparison! :heart: Is your 19 from 21A? 21P? 22A? And can we just talk about how DELICIOUS the 23A light brown is??? What a beautiful and rich cognac brown! This season's caramel is really one of the best I've seen in the past few years. :love: I think this is the brown that I didn't know I was hunting! :lol:

And of course, congrats on scoring the bi-colour mini! I like the combi. But are my eyes playing tricks on me? Is it smaller than the normal rectangular mini with top handle???

My 19 is from 21K, it’s the exact same shade as 21P. The bicolour mini top handle is the same size as normal rect mini, but its strap is thinner. Mini top handle’s strap is as thin as SLGs’, whereas classic rect mini’s strap is as thick as the classic flaps’.

I personally love the wood handle. Very beautiful

Your 21K caramel 19 is beautiful! :heart: And thanks for describing your 23A mini top handle. Really helpful because I don't know if I'll ever get to see it in person!
