Confession time: So sorry I've cheated...

On a tip from Mousse ^ about Libaire's pouches, I checked their website ... what a gem of a company!
I put in an order & this purse just arrived (the "Jane" hobo). It's outstanding - a really great, casually elegant non-woven option.

It's amazing that none of us apparently stray from BVette-land. I am going to be purchasing this clutch wallet in raspberry from Acne Studios today at some point - what do you all think? I love how the wrist strap can be tucked in, and I love the clean look of this piece. CS with Acne has assured me my iPhone will fit inside (that's how she carries hers!). The only thing that would be better if it had a zipper from either side, you know, the 'meet in the middle' kind of thing...

That's gorgeous. I hope it worked out, I'd love to hear. I only have a pair of Acne shoes, heavy but amazing.

Like her mama, Kitkat has bag fetish too. :biggrin:

Adorable darling, and so hilarious. With my cats it's boxes, all parcels belong to them, they can't wait until I get rid of the 'rubbish' inside :biggrin:

So pleased for you. Isn't it great when good quality does not have to cost a fortune
 
Hi papertiger

I hv been lurking at Gucci forum and I know you are the resident expert! So, what do u think of this bag? Worth the plunge?

Well, I don't have a Diana but my mother has had one (the tote version) for at least 15 years and still going strong. Named after the beautiful late Princess Diana who also had the tote version of course. Gucci's all-leather bags are fabulous and I think the Diana is a classic bag and the bamboo instantly says Gucci.

Not that I would ever would tempt you away from delicious BV, but I think there's room in every wartrobe for a little diversity :yes:

Here is some reading material for you my dear

Thanks Papertiger!

I only have one Jackie that my then BF bought for me in 1999! I still use it occasionally. Hope to add another Gucci sometime soon :smile:

Re the wallet, no, it immediately didn't work out - went back the same day I received it. Nothing wrong with it other than being a bit too big, stiff leather, and the strap really didn't tuck in as welll as described. I did find a lovely 3/4 zip-around wallet from BV which has a wrist strap and I've been carrying it ever since!

Then I am even more pleased for you, it sounds like you have found the perfect wallet :tup:

Thank you! So true -- I'm really happy with the quality, love that they're made in Berkeley, & the pricing is really accessible.
I recently purchased this style, but in navy [images from the Libaire web site].
A cool option is that you can special order a different strap length, so you can dial-in your perfect drop :
