saw a great looking cross body (similar to the hermes evelyn) itw the other day. stopped in my tracks to see who made it. HB. surprised, but went to store and it just didn't meet the hand test too well. and i hate to say, but the price point was so low it was a bit off-putting. how is THAT for a reason not to love!
I caved in and bought it...:nuts: At that very low price point! I was on vacation and went in that HB store every darn day contemplating because of price point....ugh ...and finally pulled trigger. Not gonna lie, got the H Evelyn vibe too with it and figured could be a good substitute for mine since I baby it too much...for the example would never take my Evie on a vacation, and this I could use it and just be carefree with it as it looks like it can take a good beating. Not sure if I will wear it but since I live in Canada basically Henri Bendel is unheard of here, may pull of a mysterious vibe....so no regret thus far...:flowers:

Still going back and forth on the 712 flap/camera bag. I'm wondering if the pink is somewhat iridescent or has a sheen since it's called "pink peacock?" The tahitian tide print is a great price but it sure is overly busy... anyone want to sway me in one direction or another? :angel: To be honest, I'm not particularly fond of either color/print. Probably just tempted due to the price.

What do you guys think of the new Izak graffiti print on the 712 flap? I thought it looked somewhat funky/rocker but worry it might look too juvenile (as that print on the backpack looks a bit childish). Now that I look at it, the print reminds me of doodle prints you might see on LeSportsac.


I actually just bought this exact bag. The color is not iridescent at al it is a flat fuchsia pink. I wanted the bag for so long bough tit and have only used it 2 times. I'm hoping once Summer comes around I'll start using it otherwise I'll probably sell it. The color for me was really stepping out of my comfort zone.

I was unsure to post this in the identify threads or here, but I'm trying to find a bag I saw based on description. I'm pretty sure I saw it in February 2015 in the Chicago Henri Bendel store in Watertower Place. The bag I'm looking for appeared leather with asymmetric panels arranged in big facets towards the bottom of the bag. The seams of the panels had contrast edging. It was about 16" wide and 12" tall. I've searched and searched for "faceted bag" "asymmetrical seam bag" etc and haven't found what I saw. I've even searched the collections from late 2014 to 2015. It looked a bit like the Loewe Puzzle leather bag, but it definitely wasn't that one!
Was it something like the Debutante Asymmetric line:

Thanks! I wonder if they’ll release version this summer.
I found an instagram blogger wearing it (maybe the same one?) and it really looks great on her. I tried to find the picture of me wearing it, but I must've deleted it because it really looked overwhelming on me. It looks super chic on her and it's giving me second thoughts…

Hi Ladies! I've been looking to get a Jetsetter tote as a travel day bag in the quilted nylon and wanted to get your expert opinion. I like to have bags that I can pack into a duffle bag when I travel and take out when I get to my destination. Would I be able to do that with a Jetsetter tote without damaging the bag? I'm thinking of folding it in half just to make it more compact but not sure if this will crease the leather or nylon. Thanks!!
