The pouch looks lovely. Should I sell my knot now?
I just bought two BV piazza bags and two old style nodinis and I am on ban island.
Should I have gone for the pouch instead?. I am having real buyers remorse here.Help!

imo, the Pouch is far too different from Piazza and Nodini, it's hand carry only and more of a clutch function. Does this resonate with your style? do you think you will be ok to carry it in your hand all the time?
before you rush to return/exchange any of your bags for the Pouch try to imagine how many looks and occasions you will use the Pouch for.
I have only one (Large) (and probably will stick to it), i use mine a lot, but i have 6 Nodinis, and i don't think i have too many, all have own purpose and reason :biggrin: Nodini is a good xbody bag, perfect for travels and light errands. What is your usual style?

Thanks for your response.
I would not get much use out of the pouch but it would have been a statement bag to have. I already have quite a few running errands bags and about town bags.
However I think the pouch will always be around to get while these other ones will not so I will keep them.

Get and keep what you love and will use! Not just a museum lot, but something that will make you happy to use every day :)

I actually don’t like the newer versions of the pouch as well! It just seems like lately there is significantly more negative opinions than positive ones. It’s hard for me to wrap my mind around that so I think I’ll just take a step back for a few months... perhaps long term if the vibe continues. I don’t feel the need to share my new purchases anymore anyways.

I already saw that you are already keeping the ones you have. I don't think every bag has to be functional. I'm not a minimalist and some bags make me so happy but are impractical to wear. If you are in the same boat, the pouch wil indeed go strong for a while so there's no rush in to buying it now.

If you are not intending to wear the pouch at all but just want something nice to look at, what about the whirl? It's even smaller and more delicate than the pouch but I think the design is just so fun to look at. It might not be your taste at all, but there are some similairities between the bags.

I saw the whirl but did not consider it though it is indeed a fun piece.
The pouch has some feel of old Bottega with the slouchy and luscious leather so may still get it down the road. You are right in that every bag does not have to be functional always. The knot for me is not functional as it does not fit my iPhone but such a classic to occasionally carry. Thanks.

Just a little "hack" i found for my pouch tht allows me to use it soo much more! Its not a bag thts easy to use for errands or shopping.. but i wasnt using it to go out for dinner either because it was hard to find a place to put it.. i dont put my bags on the floor and its a little big to keep on the table

soooo i bought linnen bags off amazon! 2 for 5 dollars.. Im going to keep the bag in my pouch thn at a restaurant ill put the pouch in the bag and hang it on my chair.. i guess it would work with most largish clutchesScreenshot_20210118-123005_Amazon Shopping.jpg

That is a great hack! You could even color the bags to match your pouch - if they are 100% cotton they would be a great dye candidate. If you had time on your hands, you could embroider, paint, all sorts of things. :heart:

LOL... what we would do to protect our babies back when we could dine in restaurants here in Toronto (Canada), some of them provided a special chair/stool for your purse.... like in Paris... I always enjoyed walking past them and admire the variety!
