Can someone please help with the different dimensions of the small vs. large PLAZA bag? So many sellers seem to have wishy-washy measurements, I'm not sure! I found some vintage catalog pics on pinterest and they say that officially the small is 9- 3/4 x 7- 3/4 x 3-1/2. The large is 11- 1/8 x 8- 1/4 x 3- 1/4. But this is so close how would one using "approximate" measurements know?

It's hard to tell from posted measurements but I think they look a little different. The large looks fatter.

I'm alone in this hobby too! I've never admitted to my family how many bags I have....or the price I paid for some of them. :angel: My excuse is that I make my own money, pay my own bills, so I will buy what I want. Yes I will.

And yes if friends or family knew how much I paid for some of my bags, there heads would explode. But hey, TREAT YOSELF!

The nice thing is we are not alone here! :high5:
I enjoy the hobby aspect, collecting aspect and having great bags to rotate through depending on my mood. I have everything from a more contemporary satchel, to a few like new vintage, to some rehabbed beater patina bags I love, to every day working breeds to smaller glorified wallets LOL I use on weekends. And stalled/failed rehabs/what was I thinking/parts bags! :biggrin: No apologies, no explanations needed here and I love it.
Make your collections and rehabs rock!

Going back to the size comparison posts from a few days ago I feel compelled to post a pic of my roomy new-to-me Manor bag. I love this bag. LOVE IT. I've had it for a few days now and I've gotten the chance to carry it around a little bit and I am so happy with it that I just bought a second one in BT. My previous go-to style was the Court but I always had to switch to a smaller wallet so that I could fit my other stuff in it too. And my Nook had to stay home or had to be carried separately, which is annoying. Not so with the roomy Manor! As you can see, I can carry my Nook, my full sized wallet, a wristlet AND a small sunglass case (hard to see under the wristlet and represented here by a plastic tampon box but don't let that ruin the mood...this bag is fabulous no matter what it's used for!) and there is still a little room to spare. It is a slightly heavier bag, I admit, but so far that hasn't bothered me. If I change my mind after this honeymoon phase is over I will report back but for now I am so pleased with this bag!

ETA: I also love the top handle because it provides a quick grab-and-go option and it is tall enough to carry on my forearm if I wanted to.

Thanks for posting! There is a manor in my future. I see it.
ETA, I have a Ranch, from around 1990, and it is an amazing chocolate-y brown with a hint of burgundy in certain lighting. So I know!

I love this thread :smile:

I had to open a dispute with Ebay but I got my money back on the faux Court/Crosby. I've ordered an Avenue (had it authenticated first, I do learn, lol) and will post photos when it gets here. I'm really curious how it will work for me. It has a very messenger bag feel to it from looking at the photos.

That's why I ONLY buy on ebay. I bought a crescent saddle bag last year that turned out to be fake and the seller would not communicate with me at all. Not one word. So ebay took action and I got my money back. I try to have bags authenticated first but sometimes there's no time or I make a very irrational purchase and then need to request authentication later. (And honestly sometimes I don't want to draw attention to the bag before I can buy it...ha ha!) Anyway, I love the additional security offered by ebay's money back guarantee.

I hope you love the Avenue! I look forward to seeing the pics!

Yay glad you got your money back. Did you see thehe seller listed the bag on Posh? It makes me laugh because I think Hyacinth said it once that all fakes end up there for sale or something like that.

I'm so glad you love it! I'm eagerly awaiting my Crosby arriving soon, but I really think that I want to get a Manor as well. The more I look at them, the more I like them, and I love how you've been able to so neatly organize everything in yours. I bet the BT is gorgeous, I wonder what other colors it was made in. I know there are several black and dark brown ones on eBay right now, but I'd love to find one in a different color than those. I love the color of the one @theblissfullyobsessed owns and has shared pictures of, but I'm not sure what it's called.

I hope you love the Crosby and I hope you post pics when it arrives! I was curious about the colors too. There is a nice bone colored one and also a red one on eBay right now but it's too spendy and the leather is damaged. I made an offer on the BT that I wasn't really expecting to be accepted but it was, lucky me. It's a rehab special and it didn't come with a strap but I have other BT straps I can use. As long as it doesn't smell funky I think it'll be a great bag for the price.

Thanks, E!

I believe my Manor is Taupe. The mod shot I posted might be a better representation of the color.

From what I can find, I believe the Manor Bag comes in: Navy, Black, British Tan, Mahogany, Red, Bottle Green, Taupe, Bone.

Looking forward to seeing future reveals, E & MB!

Hi everyone!

I'm hoping to ask about the Pocket Purse (style No. 9755).

Any opinion about how much stuff it holds?

I've been searching for information about this style and what fits, but haven't found a lot of info.

(I don't need it to fit a tonne of stuff; mostly just the things I bring when I go for lunch near my office.)

P.S. If anyone happens to have a photo of what fits inside your Pocket Purse (or if you have a link to something like that), that'd be cool.

=)
