Yummy satchel collection!

Here's my D&B florentine collection; Orange florentine satchel (2009) & Black small florentine satchel (2011) w/LV Mono Lockit (2007) & Damier Speedy 30 (2010) for comparison.

I have the LV Mono Lockit, also. I love it.

I ordered the large satchel and when my husband saw it he said it looked like something a *Cowgirl* would carry.
Oh
my
gawd.
It totally ruined it for me so I sent it back, but I really think they're gorgeous!! Heavy, but very pretty!

Show your hubby this pic. She doesn't look like a cowgirl.

She's cute!!! My hubby probably wanted to say *Honey, you're too old to carry that bag* but didn't wanna start a fight.

I'm on the other side of 55 and I carry one.

Well that can't be it then, cause I'm 55 too!!

Are you happy with the small? I just ordered it in black. I'm 55.

Yes, the small is perfect.

I love my mini in natural! I think it's much cuter than the Miu Miu bow, but much heavier as well. I just sold most of my LV and Balenciaga's to fund an Hermes bag, but I just couldn't part with my FS! She's just too pretty!

I have the small DBFS in natural, and I love it, also. Ok, so I know this is the DB thread, but I can't get anyone to answer this on other threads. Bagaholic, since you've had Bal Bags, I would really like to know if they are fragile or tough? I kind of want one, but they're so flippin' expensive (for me, anyway), I don't want to have to baby it and constantly worry about it, and I don't want it to start wearing out in a month, either. Would you mind telling me your opinion? BTW, I'm 49, and am so happy that so many of us are not teenies or twenties--makes me feel much better. Thanks!

I had also given up my satchel after bragging how much I loved it and it was the perfect black bag, blah blah blah. Way too darn heavy so I had to let her go! On to the next perfect black bag-lol.....does it even really exist?

All my satchels are gone. :cry: I now have a Marc by Marc Jacobs Petal to the Metal Sookie bag. This is new territory for me.

ALL your satchels??Did you get rid of the small satchel also LVBagLady??
I really love the look of them but if they are so heavy ..I am also on the other side of 55.. ..then I may have to rethink it.
