Thanks for the input! I live in a rainy climate, so dirt marks are always a concern for me with the potential for muddy splashes etc. The chocolate bag is quite a lot larger than I expected, which is great, apparently it fits a card holder, an iPhone and keys.
I haven’t seen any of the bags in person but if you are careful with the white envelope bag I say keep it, you may regret returning it? I really like the chocolate envelop bag! If you think you’ll use it , I say get it! Or you could try for the envelope messenger..
I like the contrast on the vanilla. Would you wear it, does it work with your wardrobe? Do you love it or is it more meh?
Don't give up yet, I would keep an eye on the website. Not sure where you are located but here in Europe, I've seen a few restocks and I was able to order the card holder today. A few bags became available too (and still are). Or perhaps you could call their CS if you have your eye on a specific item to see if they can locate it for you.Ugh! Decided late in the game that I liked this collection and impossible to get anything. I haven’t seen anything available online and I doubt my store will get any items. I thought I was going for a more classic bag in the alma backpack and didn’t like it. I didn’t know anything about the designer and didn’t want to do a preorder when I was asked.
I bought the nano streamer and cardholder from the collection! I didn’t preorder anything and it was love at first sight! I’m thinking about the dog on wallet now 😅
Thanks! That is helpful. I’m definitely keeping the chocolate, we had pre-ordered both bags in chocolate actually, but I knew from the forum that the messenger might be actually only available in vanilla and just an error on the pre-order options. The chocolate bag is perfect for me, so I will take home that one for sure. I will just need to decide about the vanilla; it’s really hard to go wrong, which is nice.
If it was me, I’d probably keep it because who knows when you would be able to get it again. I would just be super careful when carrying it..
Thank you! That’s a very good point, the print is much more noticeable on the vanilla. My style is fun and kind of edgy. I wear a lot of dark gray, navy and black. The chocolate definitely fits my style, because it’s a little off the beaten path, but the darker color makes it more fun than cute. The vanilla is objectively adorable, but I am not into girly or cutesy at all, so I’m not sure if it can be styled more funky vs girly. I’m just thinking that I should look at some of the promotional photos, because this is the men’s line after all, so I’m sure there are some photos of men rocking this bag (though I am a woman). I love the pink Taigarama for example, because even though it is pink, it looks more fun and funky to me than cute and girly.
That makes a lot of sense! I’ve also learned something about myself; sometimes I have to own something for a while and try it on with a couple of outfits to see if it feels like my personal style or not. It’s the ones I don’t buy that I regret, so it’s probably worth taking the chance.
I would try it because worst scenario is you don’t like it and return it. I bet ya keep it!
Thanks! Good point 🥰I would try it because worst scenario is you don’t like it and return it. I bet ya keep it!
Thanks 😊 the vanilla color in person is much more interesting! Anyway the classic brown is beautiful too ! Just a personal choice in the end!
I just got mine in today; I’m 5’10 and a women’s size 8 and I don’t think it is bulky on me at all. I’m attaching a photo of it with my lululemon one for comparison.
