I've Wanted It for a Long Time - A Very Tardy Reveal!

[katev]

Congrats on finally making this cute tote yours. It was definitely meant to be even after all these years. I know you love these totes for trips and summer time — a great addition to your collection,

Thanks! I do love summery beachy bags but I already have plenty of them. We usually take one tropical trip per year and we enjoy a few picnics and outdoor events during the summer. I really don't need another summer/beach bag - but I've wanted this one for a long time and decided to go for it!

I love this! What a fun bag to make you feel like it's summer at the beach any day! Enjoy!

OMG SO cute!!!!! This is totally up my BeachBagGal alley! Hehe. You’ll have so much fun using this when it warms up. [emoji905]

it's so beautiful and has goldy shining as well... so perfect for summer season

That’s one cute bag! Congrats on finding your HG.

Thanks so much! The other PLT beach bags are also beautiful, and they are less common so when you do see one for sale it is usually quite expensive - but this is the one that caught my eye and I regretted not buying it; and I got her at a good price, so now she's mine!

Yay me! Too many beautiful choices!

I’m super excited for you! I love all the items from the collaboration. I’m just kicking myself for not having bought any tote originally. And an even harder kick for not buying the cabana tote when it was on clearance at Macy’s!! This is a special addition to all your beautiful summer bags, accessories and jewelry! You must plan a splendid holiday to use all your gorgeous things!

The cabana tote is gorgeous, it has great detailing! The PLT bags were at Macy's very cheap and I wish I had gotten one, but they sold out quick and I was too slow!

And you're right, I'll have to plan a great vacation to enjoy my new bag, thanks!

Wow! What a fun collection! Congrats on your find. It reminds me a bit of the MFO canvas tote that I bought at the Coach Outlet in 2010. It has a blue band and has a starfish on it. It may have been inspired by that collection. It has held up well. I am still using that tote today. It goes with me to work every day that I have to go!

Love the bag! Great choice!

Nice find, hardly looks used. It's a very 'happy' bag if you know what i mean... enjoy!

Thanks! Please share a picture of your starfish bag in the thread below (as you will see I already have quite a few beachy, summery bags!

Thanks, it is winter outside but my new-to-me bags makes me think of summer!

I know, it's in really good shape! Often you find PLT bags with stains and missing parts offered at a high price. I asked the seller to send more pictures and she did, I was especially concerned about the bottom and the corners but they were fine.

I saw a PLT beach bag posted on ebay recently that looked like someone had actually been used as a beach bag! It had nasty water marks and it appeared that someone had used it to carry wet bathing suits, yikes! Besides that it was dirty and missing the hangtags - but it sold for more than it was worth!

What a cute bag! I loved that collaboration, it is such a great summery look. If I lived on a coast, I would have gotten one of those myself.

Thank you! I was excited to finally get it but we haven't booked anyplace wonderful to wear it yet!

But I usually wait until the warm weather to start looking for the bag and I could never find one in good condition at a good price - so this time I decided to shop early and I got lucky! And now I really have a great reason to look forward to warm weather!
