What's the IT bag nowadays?

Oh yeah by the way, the Dior bag is tiny tiny tiny, albeit super cute! When I was playing with it in the Saks store I wondered to myself if it's made for babies... or little kids.


How tiny is it? What would you compare it to?

Jinsun,

If you always liked Chloe Paddington, go for it.

If you get another bag, would you wish you got a Paddy in the first place? The newer Paddington Satchels are lighter. The thing with Chloe bag is that the leather varies from bag to bag, it would be nice if you can inspect some in person.

If you are up for it, I would recommend getting it from stores here (not NAP/LVR; S&H+custom_fees add up) with good/flexible return policy (ie. full refund, not just store credit; no restock fee) since you are unsure. Since there's a Nordstrom around your area, you can ask a local SA to request a bag from another store & ship it to you directly (S&H is waived). You might be able to get a 20% off on it today as well.

Good luck.. =)


Yes, please do share. Would it be a 20% for signing up for a Nordstrom account? And I didn't know that Nordstrom sells Chloe.
 
Thanks everyone for the feedbacks. I don't think I'll get the LV speedy. The monogram print rubs off right? That's what I get from reading the forums..........I think I'll get the Chloe paddington bag. I've been lusting over it for quite a while. And Lexie, you're too funny. I was laughing so hard when I read your comment.

Thanks again! I'll post the picture of the bag when I get it. But I'm sure everyone knows what it looks like =).

Nordstrom (not all locations) carries Chloe. Bloomingdale's & Saks (also carry Chloe) just had their Friends and Family events -- 20% off many of the premium designer bags. Nordstrom matches competitor's offer so some of us were able to get quite a few bags (including Chloe Paddington) at discounted price. Unfortunately, the events had just ended yesterday. Some info can be found here:

Nordstrom does not offer any discount for opening an account. Other department stores do: Barney's NY (10%), Bloomingdale's (15%), ..

Jinsun, you have decided to go for what you like. Yay!
What color and style (Satchel?) do you plan on getting?
 
The Dior is cute, but it's really tiny. They have it on the main page of eluxury.com right now. You might want to consider the larger version or one of the totes.

The paddington is great too. I have one and I really like it.
 
Hi Jinsun! The little Dior trotter bag will hold not much more than your wallet, and that is if you have a small wallet. I think it's much more of a evening/party-going bag than it is for daily use. Oh the eluxury website you can see how it looks on a mannequin, but I think the mannequin is kind of small. I once considered getting a Dior Boston bag based on how it looked in proportion to the elux mannequin, but when I saw the bag in person at the Dior boutique, it was actually much smaller than I expected.

I want the whiskey........can wear it with anything. I'm so excited. I can't wait. Let's see when Doug (the boyfriend) will give me the money. =)

Jinsun, great choice! Whiskey & off-white (different name every season) are probably the 2 most popular colors for Paddington. One of my best friends has it and she totally loves it! She couldn't be happier with Whiskey -- can take a lot of abuse. =)
