Maria Oliver. Wasn't familiar with this brand but stumbled across on Neiman Marcus website looking at crocodile bags for fun then discovered a different variety of their bags on Bergdorf Goodman website and a few on Saks too (as well as their own website). Never really thought about an alligator bag before but when I saw this one I thought it was cool. Was at Louis Vuitton store last night and even the SA there encouraged me to order since it was the last one and when he told me how much a similar bag from them would cost, it seemed like a "bargain" in comparison. Can't wait to see it in person and hope it doesn't freak me out as I'm not usually partial to these type of skins.
Congratulations , it won’t be your last, I’m warning you..I had my first aged 16 or 17, and I’m still hooked..even now, I’d still sell the few mock croc bags I have to fund crocodile bags..but I’m so useless at selling I may just as well use them until I no longer want to carry them..(I’ve got 9 bags with a wishlist of 4 very high end exotics)..Just ordered this alligator bag from Bergdorf it was the last one

I love handbags and used to spend all of my time looking at bags, but I can’t buy any on my list this year, so I look at rtw now, although I’m on a temporary rtw ban as well!
Carry her in good health-she’s Beautiful !xxx
When I was 19 I was in Paris, looking for a navy bag, I ended up buying my first Chanel bag, which I carried for 10 years.
But one of the ones I regret not buying(there were several, including an exotic Chanel, and a crocodile Morabito), was a bespoke navy LV Mazarin in matte crocodile.
It was a beautiful bag, much nicer than the Chanel, I wasn’t living in Paris at that point but it would have been sent to me..I spent the diffence on rtw and footwear ..but the bag would have lasted far longer..
My gold Jommy Choo Callie finally arrived! Figured I'd share some unboxing photos along with the 3 different ways it can be carried: handheld traditional clutch, using chain, or by looping chain through the ring the tassel is attached to for a scrunched look (by far the cutest in my opinion).
I love my lulu bag! Ive worn it almost everyday. It’s such a practical and comfortable bag.
Beautiful! I bought one of these once on ebay. I took it out of the box and immediately put it back up for sale after I tried to lift it. These things are heavy!
Did you try ordering from Neiman Marcus website? I am still waiting for the B-Buzz barbie bag to arrive but I definitely like the round disco one. I also just discovered a different B-Buzz bag that is beautiful so I am thinking maybe I should exchange the Barbie one for that since the 2 barbie ones are so similar and more of a novelty. Scared it's going to arrive and I'm going to love both! Lol
So after much anticipation, my Maria Oliver alligator bag arrived yesterday and I am underwhelmed. It's cute but definitely smaller than I was envisioning it. To be fair, it did say mini so not sure why I wasn't picturing a mini bag. It's nice just not sure it's worth keeping at this price point as I don't foresee using it much and might prefer something similar but slightly larger.
2 other non-handbag packages also arrived yesterday and nothing seems quite right. One is a pair of LV shoes I love but the heel feels wobbly making them surprisingly hard to walk in. The pair I tried on in store was like that too but I assumed it was bc they were 2 sizes too big but now I realize they are beautiful but poorly designed. Feels like a sprained ankle or broken bone waiting to happen. Also got some jewelry from Neiman Marcus which I think looks really cool but is not very comfortable. 3 strikes and I'm out.
Sorry to complain, just feel like I'm in a rut and not loving anything I've purchased recently (other than Balmain x Barbie bag - that one exceeded my expectations). I might keep the LV shoes anyway bc they're so pretty even though I know that's silly. Now that I think about it, I don't LOVE the Lady Dior I bought recently like I should for that price point either (although I'm committed to that one). Even feel the gold jimmy choo is blah too after I made such a to do about getting a gold bag. I obsessed over finding an old Prada fairy bag and also felt disappointed by that when it arrived. Anyone else ever feel like this?
Maybe it's a sign to take a much needed break from shopping.
