Beautiful bag!! So glad to have come across this thread. Thank you to everyone for sharing!
Do you mind telling us where did you buy the bag from? Are there any boutiques available in the US that carry Trussardi? Thank you!

Thanks! I purchased this last summer in Venice, Italy. They do have a website, however that I think ships to most countries. https://www.trussardi.com

It is really cute and I love the fuschia it comes in, at the department store where I tried it on at the mirror. But in the end the magic of how adorable it is just looking at it fell flat when I put it on my shoulder and elbow in front of a mirror. I was underwhelmed. I don't know what happened. But the quality was great.

Thanks for this thread (although it made me stay up way longer than I wanted).

I now crave these:
https://www.leoetviolette.com/products/le-grand-sac/bordeaux
https://polene-paris.com/products/numero-un-trio-vert
too bad none of these shapes come in teal or turquoise (I am looking for something like Hermès bleu Izmir or colvert)

Here is my contribution of two German brands
Aigner, I have a Cybil special edition and could not be happier (very well made, great soft leather)
https://www.aignermunich.de/damen/taschen
olbrish (very interesting shapes, well made. I do not own any of their bags but have been to their store in Berlin)

Did the capacity seem good to you? I like that it’s a small bag but still has decent depth.

Absolutely. I don't know what happened with my reflection in the mirror with it on me, it was just not good. It looked adorable in fuschia on the shelf and good quality and capacity in my hands during an initial inspection. I can't figure out why it repelled me when I tried to imagine myself carrying it, looking in the mirror.

Someone here mentioned Del Giudice and because they are based in Rome, and that's where I live, I went to check them out the next day and !! I made a special order for Anna 26 with gold hardware in tourmaline colour (it's new for this spring) and it came in under 2 weeks. I absolutely love it, I can not believe it was only 275 euro The quality is on the same level with my high end designer bags! Plus, I emailed with the owner (one of the brothers, as it is a family business) and he was very very 20180418_141647.jpg nice.
P.s. and you can customize your bags the way you want (add pockets, change hardware color, interior lining and etc) ...I mean... 20180418_141604.jpg

Honestly, even if you didn't live near that sweet bag would be worth a long trip, I think it's fabulous.

Also, thanks telling us more about the brand and service :tup:

Oh my god!!! Your bag is gorgeous!!! :loveeyes: Thank you for sharing; I was curious as to how they were since I have read so much about them on travel websites and Facebook.

I actually tried to start a thread about this company a year ago and no one replied. I'm glad someone here has had a chance to purchase their bags. Also, you are right, the owner is very, very nice.

Thanks to member bellebellebelle, she alerted me about the Armilla bracelet. I have been looking for a leather wrap bracelet that would fit my wrists as most leather wrap bracelets these days are much too big. When I saw that they were customizable, I contacted the owner for clarification (I wasn't sure if the length of the bracelet was truly customizable or if it was just "adjustable"). I spoke with Andrea and he was so patient and explained that I could customize the bracelet.

I just placed an order through their website; I will share once I receive it!

BTW, it is only 22 Euros!!!:

I am impressed on how beautiful and elegant this Sézane bag is. Got it from Nordstrom. Smells amazing, and the leather is very soft. Not a type of soft that would stop me from using it. The color is a beautiful nude. It is slouchy, which may annoy some people. But there is bottom support which doesn’t allow the bag to sag. I love it!!! I researched the brand before purchasing it and I loved her story.
