Who is selling all of those chunky and skinny makeup bags for 200-300 on etsy?! Outrageous.

The person who listed a Station Bag on eBay as rare?

Modshots for you let me know if you have any more questions!! Excuse me for the poor quality background/outfit. It is a work from home day and things are quite messy so I tried to hide as much as possible I am 5'6"/167cm and a size 6 for reference

Ooooooh thanks I def have that AND the Drake on my watch list! Why not have both, since @whateve provided comps?! And for *untouched, keepin’ it real* mod shot !!

 

[Lake Effect]

Thank you!! I wore it to work here in this outfit!

Here's what fits inside and how I pack it. This is a little bit stuffed and I was nervous to hold it by the top handle for too long. I'd remove one thing like the mini notebook or the pink makeup pouch. But it fits my crossbody pouch stuffed with all my emergency essentials (SO MUCH STUFF), my phone battery, mini notebook, wallet, tissues, iPhone 6s, makeup pouch, key pouch, and my reusabe tote

I really wanted a larger purse because I need something that holds my pouch filled with my camera accessories, and this fits both my camera pouch and my crossbody pouch! I love it. Let me know if you have any more questions

Okay, um, I am pretty sure you are my *purse* daughter/niece/cousin!

Love the bag! It went perfectly with your work outfit. Excellent choice on the colour, it will go with everything. And wow it holds a lot!
I love how it looks like it will hold its shape really well. What is the material like? It's not the glove tanned leather right (or is it)? Also how is the top handle attached to the bag?
Thanks for answering my questions! And congrats again on the gorgeous bag!!

Thanks so much! Sadly, it's not the glovetanned leather! I wish that Coach had designed a bag like this in their vintage leathers because those leathers are to die for. This is a stamped, textured leather…more similar to saffiano leathers, but IMHO nicer I'll attach a photo of how the handle is stitched to the top! Happy to help; let me know if there's anything else

Okay, um, I am pretty sure you are my *purse* daughter/niece/cousin!

Thanks so much - so glad the pics helped/enabled! I love finding purse-kindred-spirits-twins on here! What a great place Agreed, I'm super tempted by the Drake (thanks whateve for comparison shots!) but I've gotta pace myself!

Very sophisticated looking bag. I like it! Now I want one.....

A mini update to my “saga” (no more novels i promise!)

I decided the bag really needs to go back but i also want to be considerate of the seller’s cost... in the (unlikely?) event that it was an honest mistake.. so i offered to pay for one of the two shipping charges - ie she sends me the return label and i’ll ask ebay to send her my original shipping charge. She accepted the return, but says because its international i should just ship the bag back and get the full refund. Her tone in the emails has just been unpleasant and she would not even do me the courtesy of sending me her address (essentially told me to go look it up on ebay myself). So I'm going out of my way and out of pocket to help her out and she could not even try to sound appreciative of that fact... maybe im just too sensitive. Though i am glad this is at least almost over!

There really isn't an option inside the return request for you to pay for part of the shipping once you claim the bag is not as described. She only has 3 options: accept the return and pay shipping both ways, deny the return and face the consequences if ebay decides against her, or offer a partial refund, which she only has one try for. She's already tried the partial refund, so all she can do is accept the return. If you want to pay for part of the return, I would suggest that you use ebay's label to ship it back, wait until she refunds you, and then send her some money via friends and family paypal. By using ebay's label to ship it back, it will end up cheaper for her than if she created the label herself. Ebay has access to discounted shipping the rest of us don't.

The Madison collection has textured leather that is very pretty. It isn't soft. The bags are structured - they feel like they have cardboard inside shaping them.

After you posted the contents of your bag lol!
I need to pace myself too. But if I saw one at a bargain or steal, I would
I would need to look through my files later, or maybe someone in the meanwhile can confirm, I know there are a few bags in the original leather that are in this general shape, like the Chrystie sp? bag.

Not the Chrystie, you are probably thinking of the Crosby.

Yes, that's true!I love the clean Italian lines and luxury pebbled texture of the Madison leathers too.

In the glove-tanned vintage styles, the Court Bag comes to mind: a similar design with the top handle and shoulder strap. It's smaller than the Copley, closer in size to the Biltmore.

That's what I was intending to do too because I would rather use her or eBay's label to send the item back. I think she called eBay after my offer to help with shipping and that's what she said eBay said. I plan to give eBay a call later to confirm and see what my options are.
Thanks again whateve!

Side note , there is a Gracie in great condition for sale a local consignment shop in Garnet. The quality is amazing, but is is small!
And the two toned options in this catalogue pic caught my eye.

I find the Biltmore works for me. It looks small but carries everything I need. Gracie is just too small.
