My TB20 came with a set of raincoat (#8) but mine is Stamp T so not sure they still do come with it.

Mine's a C (2018, but bought 2021), a T is 2015. Maybe more people will chime-in and we'll be able to find a pattern...

Because the toolboxes don’t get enough love, I’ll double-post all these photos here. It’s definitely an under-appreciated, practical, and cute bag. The more I use mine, the more I love it. I clearly frequently style it differently...fitting a pink bag in as a guy for your daily takes a lot of creativity! 
I’m really itching for another one, but need to space-out my expensive bag purchases (and it’s not like my store has had any more in anyway).

Gorgeous! That color pops against your neutral tone clothes.Because the toolboxes don’t get enough love, I’ll double-post all these photos here.

The TB20 size looks perfect on you! I feel my TB20 looks to big on me so I keep mine in the cupboard.

Don’t be afraid of it! It’s not much bigger than a B25 in reality, but holds as much as a B30!
How is the capacity? Can you put a small water bottle along with a small umbrella?
It's actually quite spacious thanks to how thick it is...it's a chubby little thing. Even though it's only 20cm wide, it's about as deep (front-to-back) and will carry almost as much as my husband's Birkin 30. It's deceiving, like a Picotin. The only limiting factor over the B30 is the width, which will mean longer items may not fit. It does fit everything I need daily though: full size wallet (18cm), two masks (one spare), hand sanitizer, eye drops, mints, it's raincoat, keys, a pocket square and a cleaning cloth...with enough extra room for something like a drink or a prescription I've picked up from the pharmacy. I think a VERY small folding umbrella would fit inside, but a water bottle would require popping-out one of the wings and sticking the top of the bottle out the side of the bag, like I did in the pic below. Popping out both wings nearly doubles the usable capacity, which is nice in a pinch. I was once able to accommodate two personal-size bottles of champagne thanks to those wings, without having to remove what was already in my bag.
(fwiw, that's a bottle of gatorade, so much larger than a normal small-size water bottle)
Wow, thank you for your reference! Is that in swift leather?
I have been thinking about either Toolbox 20 or the New Drag 22. Toolbox 20 is readily available in preloved market for a discount whereas I haven't seen New Drag 22 so far.
yes mine is Swift...it's quite soft, so I very-much recommend getting an insert. I have a Samorga 2mm and it's perfect for holding the bag's shape and protecting the interior. I think the Drag 22 will have less capacity and be a bit more tedious to get in-and-out of quickly. The Toolbox is really a great functional bag and the single turn-lock closure is really easy to use one-handed once you get the hang of it. I like how it opens super-wide and I can just see everything in there and grab what I need. Based on the look of the leatherwork, the Drag 22 will likely cost more than a Toolbox 20 new, also.
Yes, New Drag 22 is 14.4k SGD whereas Toolbox 20 is about 11k SGD (preloved for about 7k to 8k SGD). Both bags are similar so I am not going to get both (it's too expensive to get both too!)
I wanted to get a bag which I can carry it for formal events and casual day out. I saw this video while researching on both bags on XHS.
Personally, I'm not sure either are appropriate for formal events. Usually a small shoulder bag, clutch, or miniaudiere are more appropriate for a formal event, unless things are changing and I'm just getting old
Both have a unique non-purse look: the Drag looks like a mini business bag and the Toolbox looks like a mini...toolbox. I can't speak for the Drag, but I get a LOT of compliments on my Toolbox in public. A LOT.
