I love this raspberry red !
I thought I would give Lombia a try. They work with women in villages in Columbia to give them an income source. I love the bag, it goes really well with jeans and a casual look.
I recently noticed this brand on Instagram .... fell in love with this model right away and ordered the bag on Monday (the Mini Venice in color Blush ....) After a very nice chat with the customer service, I received the bag only yesterday (2 days from UK to Germany ; - ))) and I have to say it is soooooo gorgeous !!! Really nice leather, fantastically handcrafted and stitched. The color is a nice blush with a soft rosé undertone - exactly what I wanted ! This bag can definitely compete with much more expensive brands ..... and the best ist that you are doing charity with buying a bag !!! For a bonus, you will get your strap monogrammed for free ! I will definitly buy from this brand again .... pictures will follow !
Here's my new Mademoiselle Longchamp bag in the FW19 color called Brandy

Thanks for the name Chrisenvouge! I just ordered the Cassie and the Tabby may be joining her
Again, thanks for sharing the size information and other tidbits. Unfortunately the US website doesn’t show that beautiful blue color. ☹️ There is another bag online that looks interesting called the Serpenti Forever Bucket Bag. Have you seen it? There isn’t a boutique near my residence so I thought I’d check with you first. I was curious if you thought it would be a nice evening bag or is it on the casual side? I also like your regular size Bulgari bag so that’s a possibility, too. Thanks for your input.Thank you, and that’s the highest form of flattery- so by all means!
The dimensions in inches are: 6 x 3 3/4 x 1 3/4. Because the calf leather is a “brushed metallic” as Bvlgari calls it- it’s very stiff. Patent-like. So I’m leaning towards no for the fit, unless that’s all you bring.
Since I have many evening bags around this size, my trick is I usually throw a men’s suit jacket just over my shoulders (even in summer I’m chilly at night). You wouldn’t believe how many pockets and compartments are available! And items don’t warp the jacket’s shape in mensware, unlike women’s jackets. Great for my phone and items I cannot fit in these teeny tiny bags! Take the jacket off in the venue and voilà- you are good to go!
You look contemporary, chic, and micro bags are no longer an impracticality issue
Of course, love to help out! So I actually reside in the U.S. as well (San Francisco). I did find my toy bag in the London New Bond St location.. haven’t come across it in the states either.
I think the bucket bag is a very cool design. For me personally, it reads more casual (however I believe the exotic skin does dress it up more- photo below- I think this is the one you are looking at). Not sure if you are okay with exotic skins? I will let myself buy them pre-owned, but not retail. Arbitrary hypocritical rule for myself, haha
I took some screen shots of bags in the serpenti forever line that you might like for evening. My personal favorites are the serpenti forever clutch and the Bvlgari cocktail clutch. The oblong shape makes me think formal, whereas other shapes make me think casual/cute.
The mini bag is quite small so it could definitely be a contender. And a wallet on chain, slightly smaller than the clutch.
My medium (which is the largest size in the line) has been used once for an evening out, but it was to a comedy show- so not so formal. I wore it handheld with the two chains draping over my wrist.
Hope this is helpful, and I didn’t just completely confuse your choice even more!!

Thank you so much for your great insight and suggestions! I truly appreciate you taking the time to comment and post photos. You confirmed my thoughts about the bucket bag. Your two bags are my inspiration going forward so thanks again for sharing them on this thread. Warmest regards.Of course, love to help out! So I actually reside in the U.S. as well (San Francisco).

Not so much a bag but some straps, Spencer and Rutherford of Australia.
Will show photos as soon as this place lets me actually load them up.

I returned the Cassie (too big for me) and ordered the Tabby 26. Got her in the blues. I hope she fits me. Any chance of a mod shot from you in the meanwhile so I can drool?Thanks for the name Chrisenvouge! I just ordered the Cassie and the Tabby may be joining her
