Do share which LC style and color are you eyeing next?

I am waiting for this beauty to arrive from Century 21. Funny thing is I didn't even know I NEEDED this bag until I saw @Cosmopolitan's post under deals and steals!

You will love this bag. I tried on it multiple times and again, at the boutique today. It is so roomy with one big centre compartment, has deep slip pockets and the navy is just gorgeous. Super lightweight too. If I didn't already have the navy cuir, I will surely get this.

Haha congrats! We will be twins; see mine here. Hope you love it as much as I love mine.

Thanks so much for the link to the pictures as they really add to the excitement to receiving the bag. The only negative I see to this bag is the lack of adjusting the strap for shoulder carry as you stated. I am 5'5" but short waisted.

Appreciate your comments here. You and @Cosmopolitan were so helpful with my purchase of the Le Foulonne Hobo I purchased in black during the sale.

You are most welcome. It can be very daunting to buy sight unseen so any extra bit of info helps. I rely greatly on the intel here and always benefited from it. Glad to share whenever I can. I hope this Foulonne crossbody bag works out for you too. One thing to note about the button closures, they might seem hard to close but if the bag is filled, it becomes much easier.

My latest purchase, 4th le pliage! All medium short handle, black, beige, pinky, dahlia [emoji813]️

This color is gorgeous! Where did you find it.

My eternal search for one of these babies in a large/good condition. I love the green metallic version the best, but, I can't seem to find the anthracite either. Oh, how I wish I had purchased one when I originally saw them!

Lizzys, have you received the bag? Just curious and wondering if it works to your expectations?

Found the gray Shop-It in my local boutique and going to check them out soon. Leaning towards the pouch as I think the crossbody might not be that spacious.

I arrived early for a meeting and stopped by LC to check the latest arrivals and I see this one:


Soo cute!!!!

In this period of thinking whether I should get it? Will I love it enough to put in my rotation or will it sits idle after some time? Is it sufficiently unique and different from my other bags?

I know how you view bags as art and this design is definitely unique with the interplay of colors and the distinct galloping rider. It is a statement piece. The soft structure of this tote is classic and functionally, I do see it working very well for the office. In fact, I rehomed mine (all black) as I felt it was a little too formal for my casual lifestyle. It is interesting how design/color makes all the difference. I see a playful tote for this one you are eyeing. If you are thinking casual/weekend play with it, it definitely fulfills this criteria. Are you concerned whether you can transition it for work? I recall you mentioned before that your office setting is quite formal.

You read my mind - I see the art side of this indeed. And this feels like the right level of art - it is an abstract galloping rider. I did not realize you rehomed your black one! But I understand it can look very formal indeed. This one is casual/weekend and Friday office for me. Like a more formal friend to my pink Miaou bag [emoji4]

I worry not because of office use because the shape is formal enough that I can get by in less formal client setting. I worry because I don’t want to add something I don’t love enough to my collection - just because I have the ‘itch’ of shopping! [emoji16] this usually ends in situation where the bag got used often after I got it but sits idle few months after!

Thank you for the input. Indeed it was the ‘artist touch’ that gets me. Will give it a day to think. And I was also thinking about Mademoiselle! These are totally different choices...

I think I will have kept mine if it was in gray or pilot blue. It will have looked more casual as compared to black.

Actually, that was what I thought when I read your initial post. There was a tone of uncertainty and I totally understand about wanting to buy something to ease the itch of shopping. I think you do know deep down which bag calls out to you more but this bag does tug at the artistic flair in you.

Imho, I think the Mademoiselle is a better choice of the two. Thinking back of your collection, I don't recall that you own a shoulder flap bag? Please do correct me if I am wrong. I feel the medium in between sized Mademoiselle is a versatile bag that works both dressed up and down; work and wkn. The bonus is its width, packs so much.

Have fun deciding. [emoji6]

Again - you really have an elephant memory!!! And I believe you are right on mademoiselle. I think I wait until a bit closer to Xmas to decide any big buy - trying to curb my bag purchases and enjoy more of what I have - using straps and accessories to reuse some of the older, unused bags!
