Guuuys I went to check out the fluffy green bag and looove it. 😭 My head says this is a lot of money to pay for a non-leather bag and points out I already have a bag in this colour (a small Amberley from Mulberry in lawn green). My heart is just like, it’s so fluffy!!! And it looks like a kokedama. And this is one of my favourite colours so I’m allowed more than one bag. Sigh. If I wasn’t going back to the UK in a couple of weeks I think I would have walked out of there with it. (It’s ~US$340 cheaper in the UK compared with Hong Kong.)
Which reminds me - does anyone know if I can buy from the UK site for delivery to a UK address using a foreign credit card? I know LV doesn’t let you. If so I’d have to wait to order when I got back as my bank would 100% block this purchase on my rarely used UK debit card. 😅
The SA was tickled that I came in asking for it; they didn’t even have it out on the floor yet. Here are some pics for anyone considering.
With the leather strap crossbody and the doughnut strap as a charm. I am short (~5’3”/160cm) but plus size.
With the strap as long as possible (can’t really put the knots next to each other as it would be uncomfortable on the shoulder). The bag is a nice size - no need to play Tetris with essentials - but I think the thinness of the strap would be a problem if you carried heavy stuff.
Side profile with the leather straps shortened to a shoulder bag. Given I’m a wider person I think I’d be fine with the large size on my frame, but I don’t feel like the straps are thick enough to support a heavily packed size large. Plus, the large only comes in orange and I have two orange bags already. (They didn’t have it in stock anyway and I didn’t think to try a large regular.)
The base. I think you’d definitely want to keep this one upright and stuffed so it didn’t get crushed.
Close ups of the material. The fluff is soft but not super silky, and not as dense/spongy(?) as shearling. It’s also stretchy, but you only really notice that when opening it. The bag is lined in suede so it won’t stretch out of shape.
With charms! I like how silver and gold or red could make this a Christmas bag, but flowers would make it perfect for spring. I don’t know if I’d want a fluffy bag out in Hong Kong’s summer but the tropical colour and grass-iness of it would work. Honestly considering the Suna Fujita rabbit charm if I do get this bag; without the chain the silver hardware is mostly hidden, so a gold charm would be OK. The green leather is also a perfect match.
