Help!! I'm so torn. I have a Toolbox 26 in Iris on layaway, BUT I also love an orange jypsiere 34 and could purchase that one instead. They're about the same pre-loved price. I'm afraid I'll get sick of the Iris, but it's so pretty. I have misgivings about both. I'm afraid the Toolbox will be boxy and uncomfortable to carry, and I'm concerned the jypsiere will be a hassle to open and close. Both would be used as everyday bags. Does anyone have both and can you address my concern?

Thanks!!
HI, I have found the TB to be very easy to use. I had considered the jypsiere too but like you said, its too busy and the closure seems difficult to manage. :smile1:

Just a piece of thought madbag... The pre-loved TB26 will come
in swift leather though lighter scratches easily. Iris is a beautiful color. My SA told me that it is meant to be slouchy but I like it boxy hence I ordered an insert specifically made for TB26 from D&C which I read from another thread and I'm so happy it has kept my TB structured and organized.

The J34 would be heavy. Mine, a 28 and I love it. Comes in a combination of rouge casaque/rouge h. Yes, carried cross or on the shoulder, long or shortened strap doesn't make it any easier to access but I'm loving it.

Thanks for letting me share! Happy Holidays!! I'm sure you'll never regret with whichever you decide to purchase. Both are lovely!

Hi!! Happy New Year Madbag! I posted a couple of photos and a few tips to help you decide on which bag to purchase though wasn't able to quote you... Both are beautiful bags.. Toolbox easier to access and Iris is a beautiful color. Jypsiere has been my first love!! And the toolbox my forever love!

Hope I was able to help you.. Thanks for allowing me to share my thoughts! I attached a couple of mod shots of my j28 and tb26.

Sorry if this is a repeat (computer went a bit wacko when I hit the wrong keys). Ack! I ordered the Toolbox and it arrives Tuesday (I can't WAIT!), but now that I've seen your modelling shots, I still want the jyp. Looks like I'll have to save my pennies, because I really do love the crossbody look. Thanks for the fab modelling shots!

Congratulations Madbag!! Pls post pictures of you wearing your toolbox. I have yet to see one in iris. We are bag twins though my iris H is a kelly32. I love the color! It must be beautiful on a toolbox!![emoji8]

Yes, this was a repeat too from my end bec I wasn't able to quote you. You must have missed my first post regarding your concern but don't worry, the toolbox is a beautiful bag! I like it boxy like how it is in my picture though I've seen others carrying it batwings out. I ordered an insert to make it stay structured. I love jypsiere too though it is not easy to access though it sits on your hip when worn cross body and leaves impression marks on where the pockets are. Annoying though my SA said that it adds character to the bag. Well, that's what they always say!! Haha!![emoji2]
 
OH NO!!! My Toolbox 26 was supposed to be delivered TODAY and I was watching the FedEx like a hawk. But when there were no updates, I called FedEx and FedEx LOST THE BAG!!! They are looking for it, but I'm so upset!! Send out good vibes that they find it. :crybaby:

Bagidiotic is right. Stay positive. It will be found, there's a tracking number so there's no way that your bag is lost.
 
Omg, that's my worst fear! I've have been tracking my shipment of Chanel cosmetics for the past 2 days. But, chin up, FedEx knows the value of the shipment and they will do their best to find your box, or Hermes will send you another. Good luck, and please post pics when your toolbox arrives.
