Hmm, I didn't consider that people may be making offers on Etsy; I assumed the price is the price, since, as @Catbird9 put it, Etsy has that "boutique, niche, artsy dynamic."
LOL, watch as I make an offer to a seller on Etsy, and experience the online shopping equivalent of having a drink thrown in my face.
I agree my friend! I have picked up several fobs, as they were a good deal in outlets, in brass. I felt they were user friendly with my brass hardware vintage bags. I have eyed a few scarves, too.Yup, the hangtags are growing on me, too!
LOL I'm holding back on charms because that's another type of thing to shop for, and collect. I'm weary of going down the rabbit hole too quickly.
But yes, I have enough going on with bags.
Take your time with the charms! I got some that made me feel silly (see the one in my avatarYup, the hangtags are growing on me, too!

). Now I know more of what I like for when I want to use a charm. Also, as I use smaller bags more, I prefer smaller charms.Take your time with the charms! I got some that made me feel silly (see the one in my avatar
Aww, it's a strawberry!
(To my self: "Stop it! No charms for you yet.")
I already fell down that rabbit hole!Aww, it's a strawberry!

I love strawberries, but this one is huge and covered in sparkles.Aww, it's a strawberry!

My little one thinks it is amazing. I just like smaller charms more or maybe still have to get used to them. Opinions about the Manor bag?
I recently got a Willis. It’s a beautiful bag, but…admittedly kind of heavy. Think that’s partially because it swings around when I walk, and it kind of tugs. (I'm short, so that might be making it worse.) Definitely feel it after a while, and I don’t have back or shoulder issues or anything. I’d like another fairly-high-capacity bag.
But I've heard the Manor is heavy, too. Just as heavy as the Willis?
When I see Manor bags online, some look great, and have a nice shape.
Others have a somewhat weird shape, especially at the sides of the bag, or a tilted handle.
Is it just a matter of shaping the bag correctly after a dunk?

I don't have either bag now, but I think Manor would be heavier than Willis. That is because of the two sections. They made the divider out of heavy leather. A lot of top handle bags have problems with the handle tilting. I think Manor bags want to do that squishing in at the sides. Rehabbing will fix it, but it might tend to get like that again.
It seems to be a nice fit for your bag. I got the huge chunky resin flower!! That’s a big piece. But I thought hey, why not. It didn’t hurt that it was $19!I love strawberries, but this one is huge and covered in sparkles.
Is it the resin tea rose? I love all the flower charms! I think it's just this particular berry, up close, looks like it belongs to a child.
It's fun for a big beach tote bag.
Yes, mucho chunky. So your strawberry is not a Coach release? I see.Is it the resin tea rose? I love all the flower charms! I think it's just this particular berry, up close, looks like it belongs to a child.
I've never had a Willis, so I can't speak to the weight comparison, but I've almost finished rehabbing my first Manor bag which came to me with a weird shape and tilted handle. It's been a really easy rehab so far, the trickiest part for me was figuring out how to position it while wet so that the sides didn't dry weird, but that still wasn't very difficult. Here are a few pictures showing what it looked like before, and what it looks like now after being dunked, shaped, dried, and having a few coats of conditioner applied. I haven't carried it yet, but I like it enough already that when I saw a great deal on a red one last week, I snapped it up lol.
Oh my goodness, yes to the Willis banging around while I walk. I love to look at it, but once I find a replacement Prairie or Saddlery, off she goes! I'm short, too, btw.
I had a Manor way back in the day and I did find it heavy/bulky because of the center panel. It's so beautiful, though.
