I’m still working and I still have the celines, added some chanels ( not sure why), and haven’t been into bags much so started looking again. I live in DC area right by Tyson’s Galleria and we have every store imaginable. So I went to Celine, YSL, NM, and BV. Actually fell in love with the BV Andiamo, and tried the Celine bucket and the Ava ( also initially loved the Romy but not into it anymore), and the YSL large hobo ( also beautifu), but decided I was not sold on the strap on BV and just kinda over paying so much money for a bag. It’s crazy to me these days and I also love these newer designers. I can’t wait for Phoebe’s new line!Ha ha yes we have fab taste, I was eyeing the Romy but want medium with shw . I sold my cabas bags because I stopped work and dont carry much now. Still miss them and was waiting for Phoebes new collection. I bought a Row in the interim but keep looking at these and Akris. Good job my recent brain fog means I can’t always find my credit card

Not sure why - love it
I lost interest too but browse when I can’t sleep. I love seeing new designers grabbing a break too as the old ones take us for fools.
I think I may order a tote me instead of Akris.
. Which Akris? You can always send it back if you don‘t love it.Not sure why - love it

I’m sure they had a small but can’t find it in denim colour
They ship from Europe so I’ll probably wait until I’m next in Ireland or France and have it sent to me there. I’ll avoid customs, it will cost less and shipping will be quick.
Edit: found the little one

It is different. I’d get the t lock in milk in the clutch size. It reminds me a bit of my Fendi by the way bags which I sold as I didn’t like the straps.
I fell in love with the small Andiamo, too, and just purchased one in black and plan to use it as a handheld only bag. Whatever you end up choosing good luck!
I got the toteme …beautiful but a very stiff leather and the bag for me is fussy to get in and out of. I like ease. I also bought the small Andiamo in taupe and I LOVE it.
Well the T lock got cancelled and the Belt Hobo went back. It was shipped in a box that was too small which caused it to be a bit misshaped. My biggest gripe about the Belt Hobo is the zipper closure. When the bag is zipped shut, the zipper, instead of sitting in a nice straight line that curves with the bag, it just bends awkwardly and is wavy, which just doesn’t look very luxurious to me. I wish I took a picture to show what I am talking about before I boxed the bag up for return.
I bought the smooth black small version ("clutch" with a long detachable strap) with GHW a few months ago. I love it! It's a surprisingly roomy bag, so it could definitely work for day-to-night if you aren't carrying a ton. The leather is gorgeous, and although it is smooth, it seems very scratch resistant so far. The clasp isn't as easy to close as a zipper, but I don't find it to be a problem, and if it doesn't close, the top still stays down. The top of mine doesn't slouch like the large version, but perhaps it will soften with time, and it looks good as is. Also since it's rounded, I find it very comfy to wear. I love this bag so much that I'm thinking about the large tan and small cream.
