I'm considering Trevi. Lol...Should I continue to consider??? Some think Trevi is lady like & pretty. While some think it's too dressy & heavy. I'm torn now! I wish I can try Trevi before I make final decision. [emoji37]

Yes, you are exactly right. It was simply too big. When I placed my travel things inside of it, I couldn't fill the bag up. They just sloshed around inside. So what happened was I never reached for the Keepall 50 when I want to travel (by car or by plane etc.). Instead, I always grabbed my Neverfull GM as a carryon or personal travel bag. It's much lighter and held what I needed. The Keepall 50 was just enormous. In my case a neverfull gm or large speedy still did the same job without the extra size and bulk. The Keepall 45 may work well for some people, though. I just found the 50 to be too huge. Hope this helps!
It is a heavier bag...but that doesn't bother me too much. I think i just prefer slouchier, non-structured bags. It's such a beauty though, I think that's why I'm having a hard time deciding to let it go. If you like structured bags and you don't mind the weight, then go for it.
Thank you! That's what I intended to use it for when I bought it, but I have to carry an asthma inhaler along with the little essentials like hand sanitizer, lotion, chapstick, lipstick, etc, and there was only one configuration that worked so that everything fit in the mini pochette without the zipper getting all wavy and stretched out. It was too much hassle to have to perfectly fit everything back in like a puzzle if I wanted to use something. I use a cles for my ipod and headphones and a bigger zippered pouch from Loft to store it and my PM Agenda and everything I was squeezing in the pochette. Oh well, live and learn! I only lost a small amount of money on the sale, happily!
I think I regret my speedy de 35 and speedy b 30 mono. The reason I say think is because I rarely use these two and I'm still trying to make them work. I'm looking to buy base shapers/organizers for them so that they look more structured and be more functional and it'll help freshen up the look. Not sure if I'm making sense.
I know what you mean! I keep on telling everyone this, but try samorga inserts. They make the speedy the best bag ever.
Ah, thanks for the advice! Perfect timing!! I am going to look into it right now. I wore my speedy de 35 out today and just not into the saggy look anymore.
Mandara MM (first pre-loved purchase). Its not as roomy as I thought and the shoulder strap falls off my shoulders and the bag is weird against my body. I thought about selling on FP, but I wouldn't get anything for it. I might give it to my sister because the epi is still in very good condition. Very well-made bag, but just not for me.
Before buying a bag/base insert, try making your own out of cardboard or something else as a base to see if you like the look. I just took a magazine (a sturdier one like the ones you get from Neiman's or Nordstorm) put it in a shoe bag (like the ones you get when you buy TOMS) and put it in the bottom as a base shaper for my 30 & 35 bags. If you still dont like the shape then the Speedy might not be for you.
Good idea. I was looking at the recommended Samorga and the quality is nice but also $ than I thought. Ok, I'll try the magazine first.
thank you!!
I think my regrets are that I bought SLG that I was way too young for, but then didn't invest in bags when I should have. I had no need for the accessories I bought in high school and college. But SLG were like candy to me. I regret not investing in hand bags, for some reason I felt guilty buying handbags. Not anymore! Lol.
The Petite Malle. It's just too small for my frame. I love the look of it so much and keep thinking I'll wear it because it's beautiful, but it never looks as great on me as it should.
