"The Pouch"

[doni]

I know right?! I’m OBSESSED with the light orange.

Gorgeous color. All the new colors are amazing.

I don’t think the amount of fakes has anything to do with how easy it is or not to fake the Pouch but how successful and trendy it is right now. Last year the market was drown in Pochette Métis fakes... it is always like,that.

I think the quality of the leather and the craftsmanship in the Pouch is excellent. And in the last few years, there had been plenty bags and accessories being produced for outlet sales that were not doing any favors to BV quality reputation to be honest...

I’ve been eyeing the Pouch for a while and your Pouch is just gorgeous!

Don’t know if I should buy one or not. I am really not a clutch person (partly because of small kids) but I like the idea and look of clutches.

Somehow this design reminds me of the bags in early 2000s. Similar shapes and puffy but they were top handles and often quilted (like Marc Jacobs Stam). I would not be surprised to see them being reissued or them heavily ’inspiring’ fashion for some years. We already have both the Saddle bag and Baguette back.

Good observation. I have warmed up to the Pouch as well (the big one). But I tried several clutch type bags and they did not work for me at the time and sat in the closet. Lately I have been tempted to try one again because I have seriously downsized what I carry. Not sure yet though.

Yes, it’s the same for me. Have 4-5 high end clutches and only used them a hand full of times. But I buy bags that I love and don’t plan to part with, so hopefully I will get use of them

The Pouch is definitely different from what I now have (I am also looking at the full size). But I am just so afraid that it will feel very dated when the puffy/hobo/quilted fashion takes it turn again. It is very obvious that fashion is moving away from structured bags and towards softer ones. At least from what I see.

Edit:
I do think the Pouch needs downsizing even if it is big. I think it is designed to carry little but visually take a lot attention. Being a statement by size, but still plain in looks.

Where I live nothing is ever in style or out of style. I doubt if there are 2 people in this whole state who would recognize the bags I have. I guess I am lucky. Plus I really don't care, but I am older than most of you.

That is the pleasure of wisdom. There is a certain age where wisdom is greater than the sum of knowledge, and it's magical. I've found it helps me keep my mouth shut, too, and yet - allow me to speak more freely. It's a great life.

I actually never follow fashion trends, but I have noticed that I get affected by it in the way that I sometimes think items look dated. This is something I hate and try to works against. People might call it getting tired of a bag etc, but often it is more related to that we feel it is dated.

I never change my style actively, but indirectly it will be changed a little bit through out the fashion cycles since fashion affects what is available in stores and what we see as normal (in some extent). For example, Miu Miu’s Matelassé style was very hyped in the early 2000s, and 10 years ago I thought it looked very dated while recently I found myself thinking it didn’t look dated anymore. By coincident different quilting, matelassé and similar techniques are coming back. So no matter if I like something or not, it will for me feel more or less dated depending on the fashion cycle. And I try to limit my purchases of things that have a high risk to feel dated. I love so many different bags that I can easily find another bag with better staying power, i.e. more of a classic (even if that expression is kind of overused).

With that said, I only buy bags that I see my self loving until they fall apart and so far I haven’t sold (or stopped using) a bag because it feels dated

Yes I agree! Regardless of the trends though, I just love how simple it is! Tbh I’m loving the pouch 20 way more than my large pouches, it’s so much more versatile and it’s the perfect cool girl size (plus I’m LIVING for this light orange).

Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is knowing not to put a tomato in a fruit salad.

The orange is SO GOOD. Like SO good. And I honestly think the Pouch 20 is where it's at!

Am I the only non-Pouch person? I can appreciate the leather but the style just doesn't do it for me at all. Maybe the smallest crossbody but I wouldn't buy it .
