Ok so during this quarantine I decided to order this pouch from Neiman Marcus just so I could hold it and decide if I really like it. Well, I don’t. I am fixing to box it back up and return it. It is huge!! Feels like a football under my arm. It is beautiful and if they made it in a size in between the mini and this one I would consider it. I have had my eye on this one for a while now. Saved me over $3000.00 so that is a good thing and I can stop thinking about it and move on. D92D2E04-F095-490E-B6C9-436E62A17A45.jpeg

As we all know the pouch has been around for some time now, so I thought that maybe some owners would like to share a little review about how useful this bag has been to you, when and what you use it for, if it has met your expectations, if you use it as much as you imagined you would, or more?

I'm thinking about maybe buying it either in black or in mist (same color as the baby olimpia that I am carrying in the second picture), but my collection is still very small, and some bags are quite impractical/not every day bags already, so I am unsure of whether I should go for it or not. I love the look of it though.

Excuse my wrinkly skirt.

I have a purple Pouch 20. I originally wanted the full sized Pouch; but after holding both, I decided to go with the Pouch 20. The Pouch is large. I also love that the Pouch 20 has a crossbody strap, which the large Pouch doesn't. So I don't regret getting my Pouch 20, but think I might have regretted getting a full sized Pouch.

I need a straight jacket. Not only did I end up returning the Chloe bag (sending it to a resale website rather - it was not the right color for me) - I ended up "swinging by" BV this weekend and saw this.... and then exchanged my red pouch for it. I've lost my mind. Someone please help me find it.

I have never tried the 20 on, but I know I must before I decide. I wish that I would like that size better, solely because it has a shoulder strap, but the one thing that I loved the most about the pouch was that it isn't tiny! I am quite tall and for once I did not feel awkward holding a clutch. It also makes it even less formal, which makes it a tad more useful to me. As useful as a huge cluch that you have to drag around by hand can be.... Haha.

Previously I wanted the knot, but it looked way too dainty in my hand, and even the larger one with the chain looked off on me, so while the size definitely is a con when it comes to weight, it being ungainly, etc, it is a pro judging the bag from it's looks alone. :smile:

I hope that the pouch 20 will have me rethinking, but sadly I doubt it.

Mine is the camel color! The nude is a great nude for sure but without any hardware it just looks like a literal dumpling to me so I went with camel. Plus i feel like it's such a *good* camel which is hard to come by (YSL's tends to be too orangey, Chloe's tends to be too brown, etc.). My friend has the off-white in the intrecciato and it's equally stunning.

I have both the pouch 20 in camel intrecciato and the mini jodie in bright red intrecciato. The pouch 20 is great - I've been carrying it to the grocery store (where else can I go right now?) and it's been nice to have a small crossbody bag that fits the essentials when you're trying to not touch anything or put a bag in a shopping cart from a germ perspective. I also got a balenciaga card holder (the leopard print) to use for the pouch 20 which holds my license, debit card, cash, etc. and it fits nicely with my phone (iphone 10), keys, and lipstick. I really love this little bag.

I love the mini jodie too but it really is impractical for daily use as it's hard to get in and out of and you must carry it via its handle. I will still keep it and love it but it'll be a night out / brunch / cocktail bag. The pouch 20 is way more versatile IMO despite being smaller.
