Hello everybody, happy Friday!
So it was a Longchamp (and
Coach week for me). Was waiting for all my goodies to arrive before I posted.
Got my first Longchamp scarf. I was eyeballing this scarf in Ecru, for months. I first saw it on Farfetch and it was already out of stock at the time, and on the Longchamp website is was always on "Notify Me" even though the other colors were in stock. I was never sure if it had been in stock and sold out or if they didn't put the stock out yet. So last week Thursday I was browsing the website mainly for the marine mini pouch. I saw that was available and for whatever reason, I decided to check on the scarf and it was Limited Availability. I purchased both of them quickly.

I'm happy to see the scarf is now available so I guess last week was when it was starting to trickle in.

I also made my first purchase from The Real Real. Now I heard mixed reviews about them, so I've been hesitant to buy, but it's one of the few, if only, major consignment shop that sells Longchamp, so I decided to take my chance. I've been interested in the medium Foulonne Crossbody bag in Navy, for a while, but didn't know if I should buy it. I watched
BagsPassionate's videos on the Foulonne line - since she seemed to be the only person thoroughly reviewing it, and she talked so highly of it, that it sealed the deal for me and I wanted to buy one, however the price was a little up there for me. So I'm on The Real Real, last Saturday night and I see the navy pop up. I was a bit hesitant to buy it because it looked like there might have been some slight damage to the strap even though the bag was listed in "Excellent' condition and the $12 shipping fee was a bit of a turn off. The next day, they offered a 20% coupon that could be used on the bag so this brought the price down even more. I still wasn't sure if I wanted to get it because of the strap, and then I saw the Heritage bag in Eggplant. I've seen the Heritage bags, but I wasn't familiar with the line. I did some research and made sure they had made a bag in this color. I actually wasn't going to buy it because of the depth of the bag, it was listed as 7.5".

So I know if I wore it crossbody it would look boxy on me. I tried to figure out what size the bag was based on the dimensions that TRR provided, but I'm still not sure if the bag is a small or medium. Anyway, I ended up buying both. Both bags are in excellent condition (that's how they were listed) - maybe 1-2 light scratches on each bag, and the Foulonne bag didn't have anything wrong with the strap after all. I guess it's just the way they took the picture, or maybe they used a different picture, who knows. I'm happy that both bags came with their dust bags, because only the Heritage bag was listed as having a dust bag. I will say I didn't like that they stuffed both bags in a medium sized shipping box, with no protection. So I have the Heritage bag stuffed so she can get her shape back and I found a nylon rubber band type strap lying around my house, so I just wrapped the handles together since they were pushed down, so they can get their shape back too. Also, I do find it weird they left the previous owners documentation in the Heritage bag. It was someone from Japan and her receipt and duty free papers are in their and one one the papers had her address on it.

I understand providing proof of authenticity, but they could have removed that. Also there was a wrapped up item with the papers. It's either a tiny tissue pack, a mask, or a pantyliner. I'm not sure what it is because the wrapping is in Japanese. They honestly could have taken that out too. But all in all I'm happy with my purchases

Sorry for the longwinded post again.
