Hi everyone. Here I am with my chain pouch in fondante. The chain is very heavy, and I am not usually one to complain. My boyfriend thinks it’s heavy too, he was pretty shocked when I asked him to hold it for a moment the other day. I am 5’9 (175cm) tall size US 8.

I love the bag for its shape and design. I really do love all of Daniel Lee’s designs. I am not sure if I am regretting my decision. Maybe I should have gone with the shoulder pouch in tan. Mainly due to this one being heavy and the chain is so dramatic. (But of course that is why I am crazy In love with it). I am a very classic person, always on the safe side and thought why not just go for what really makes your heart sing. Hence the fondante colour with the chain lol

I should also note that people either love or hate the chain. My family (who truly know nothing of fashion/trends/style) mocked the chain all day yesterday. Made me second guess it. But then my boyfriend notices people admiring it (and he never Notices these things) In neighbourhoods and a mall that are more fashion forward. ‍

Edit: sorry for the messy floors!

Thanks for letting us know how heavy the chain is - I think your review is the first one I've read that mentions it. I was hoping the chain would be a lightweight piece, but - . I finally came around to absolutely loving the pouch - I have the original in burgundy and a nero one due to arrive tomorrow. LOVE the pouch and how easy it is (without the chain). Congrats on your purchase, and your floors? Like a model, very cool!

We'll not much help but it honestly looks absolutely amazing on you, and I didn't even think I liked the chain, I thought it'd look "too much" on anyone.. but I need to rethink it cause you really can pull it of! :smile:

If you decide against it due to the weight, that's great. Totally understandable. But please don't give up something you are crazy in love with, that really makes your heart sing, because of your family's comments. The comments may just be their way of dealing with you going for a more dramatic look than they are used to seeing on you. You pull off the drama of that bag beautifully!
