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

[LouiseCPH]

I have had a bad experience with light colored BV-bags - couldn't manage to keep them as pristine as I would want them to be - but I really wanted a white/ivory summer cross-body. Thus, this pretty (and hopefully sturdy) Celine number [emoji51][emoji51][emoji51]

Does it have a laptop sleeve inside?

Sadly, no but I did have to carry my child's end of semester portfolio, books and medical papers yesterday. It remained comfortable on the shoulders but the opening appeared squarish instead of cinched as it conformed to the shape of the portfolio file. Somehow I feel Tumi might be a more practical option for a laptop, with shoulder supports, thick material and all but I am definitely concerned with weight. I used to have another one with thick leather but it was so heavy, even when empty that I only used it once. If you can, try out the LC with your laptop and see how it works out. The straps are kinda narrow and without additional padded support, this is the only issue I foresee for you...if your laptop is big/heavy then I am not sure if it will be comfortable.

Such a pretty bag and so apt for summer. I like that the style is minimalist. Enjoy yours!

Thank you --- you are always very objective! Will try with my laptop!

Haha, I am trying very hard not to let temptations rule my head. Sans the laptop requirement, I actually do think this backpack might be a wonderful addition to your collection if you want a backpack that is light, minimalist, practical, spacious and leather! [emoji16]

I have not brought this out for a long time but I cheat today as I want a white bag to go with my new white mules.... a white Kate Spade Cedar Street Maude satchel!


White bag is really great with dark colors. But I don't think I will consider a white BV --- I will be too paranoid about it!

A white bag really pops! You look great! Just spotted a lady in all black with a white Balenciaga City. She looked so chic. I will be equally paranoid with a white bag.

I rarely wander off the BV reservation, but occasionally a girl needs to remember her days at the stables riding her horse....

The buckle reads: Every Girl Needs a Horse. (It was true for me.)

Thank you. Every time I look at the photo in the buckle, I'm back in the arena riding.
49 years ago and it feels like yesterday.

My only non-BV and it's a white one, Balenciaga,circa 2009, so smooshy, part-time GG, as it already has a bit of colour transfer, I'm good with that.

Confessing that I added not only a non BV, but a second bag this month to my collection, because the color I so pretty and the check patterns give a classic touch. I have contemplated pastel BV before and decided against it (got a camel but not past l), so I hope it's kinda ok that I cheat on this beautiful pastel Burberry...


This should be it at least for next 2 months!
