Has Peter Nitz been brought up yet? I haven't bought anything from him yet, but I discovered his line through the #microbagchallenge on IG and am very excited. The prices are a bit higher than most of the brands mentioned on this thread, but I'd been looking for a small business alternative to H or Moynat.

are you Moynat fan? I just learned about them and now I'm obsessed with obtaining a Pauline, although I love all of their bags.
I feel that Moynat is overpriced for what it is, very much like Delvaux. These 2 brands have increased their prices very quickly over the last 2 years (close to €1000) for their signature/ classic styles. I personally don’t think that is justifiable. My experience with Delvaux is exactly like this. I feel cheated and sad that I paid too much for a bag that costs much less than what it is worth & this is reflected in their currently reduced prices for all their classic styles. Just my personal opinion.

Another Moynat fan here! Have been lusting over Cabotin for some time now. Was thinking of buying one in the future.

I feel you. I was turned off after checking the past prices for Moynat bags. If my memory serves me right, some of the bags used to cost half of what the prices are currently. Regardless, Moynat cabotin is still at the top of my wish list along with vintage Hèrmes box Kelly. I say vintage because i am not too keen on the current leather selection offered by Hèrmes :sad:

Does anyone have any recommendations for medium/midi shoulder/tote bags? Looking for a present for mum
Forgot to give a follow up but I ended up finding this small brand called Lanxn. My mum loved the bag. The leather is so supple and there’s really ample space (My mum loves to carry a lot in when she’s out hence the size).

I do love the design, so for myself, I might get their petit version.

It really is pretty and stylish. My Cesaire is so small, weight is not an issue. So I am glad to know about the weight of her larger bags! I like many of her styles, but if I decide to buy another one I will find out the weight before I buy. Thanks TotinScience.
I know the Césaire brand well, the bags are made in France in exceptional leathers, and generally they are not very heavy, because the designer gives their forms by contruction, and not by reinforcements, then it depends well on leathers. It is true that they should indicate the weight of the bags on their eshop !

I have a large one now, the Ode, and it too is very light and comfortable. Excellent products.

Oh yes, samfalstaff I saw on their site that there are a lot of promotions and also 20% on the whole collection, I think I have to take advantage of it absolutely, it's a small company, they must have quite a problem with this covid crisis in Paris.

Yea. I think you will be quite pleased with the quality. Give us some photos when it arrives.

You are probably right. I heard of another designer who went through some hard times these past few months. (Massaccesi in Italy.) But sounds like his business is now doing better. I hope Cesaire will pull through as well.

Will do about the photos!
 
Absolutely. If you stop and consider the complexity of buying, selling, shipping, mail service, weather, handler error, etc., etc., it is a miracle we don’t have more snafus. I hope you get it straightened out soon!!!!

I have currently a horrendous situation with DHL, shipped a pair of my Balenciaga sandals to a buyer in France, sold via VideDressing, hear nothing, check tracking, apparently I need to contact DHL (no mail, no call, nothing, only when checking tracking) call them, tell them the address is correct, they claim the address doesn't exist, quick google, address exists, would they please deliver, they change the story, person has moved. I contact buyer, no delivery attempt no piece of paper left that they tried to deliver... I call again, they tell me to email, I email them, get a generic mail back they can't help me... She has managed to reach DHL in Nice and they are attempting to deliver tomorrow. this is about 2 weeks later and 15 phone calls....
Btw buyer also hasn't moved, she has lived at this address for 7 years
