Which Issey Miyake Bao Bao Tote would you choose?

As for the card holder, it can fit a lot because it is flexible and expands.

Thank you for sharing the link. I love everything featured, the colors are unique and contrast well with each other. The card holder looks very spacious. I will be sure to check it out.

Thank you I chose black for my first one, but I definitely plan on adding another color to my collection.

Wristlet clutch's first outing to a musical. This clutch packs a lot, despite its dimensions.

Thank you! I'm really loving it. The strap makes it very easy to use. I can hold it by the strap or hang it anywhere if need be.

I thought it was interesting. Didn't know that the bao bao bags can be folded.

Not as easy as it looks but I've tried it and it works!

Glad it works! I was a little worried about damaging the bag, but it looks like it was meant to be folded.

I have been looking at quite a few websites and online descriptions. It appears to me that the 10x10 tote is called the Prism – whether it is glossy, matte, frost, platinum or metallic.

The 6x6 seems to always be called the Lucent – no matter what material it is made out of – glossy, matte, frost, twill. There are so many materials.

So I took Prism and Lucent to refer to the sizing and number of squares.

The top 10x10 black glossy one is called a “Basic Prism Tote” in all my searches online. So it is a prism tote.
The grey 10x10 one is called a "Frost Prism tote" .

I think you might be referring to the “Prism metallic” totes – which have more dimension. According to a website that sells them, the prism metallic series consists of small triangles that give off a delicate shine like a jewel. The hues change depending on the viewing angle. They are a little more expensive than the basic prism tote because of this extra effect. I saw someone carrying this bag and it is quite stunning (two examples below).

That purple metallic gets my vote!

You have to be fairly aggressive to get it to fold in...

I had not tried it yet but this was one video that sparked my curiosity about Bao Bao when I watched it some time ago.[/QUOTE][/QUOTE]
