I feel like this was better value than the mulberry canvas Tote I just ordered 🤔

Yup! I just took it out today! So I’m kind of short so I can do crossbody with the strap. Anyways the bag is quite heavy as a crossbody. It feels lighter as a shoulder bag. But regardless it is stunning 😍What a beautiful photo! I saw the Beatle color in person and it's a beautiful color. You can't go wrong with either one but I personally was drawn to this ombre and croc combo. Have you used yours yet? Enjoy! I'm glad you were able to get your hands on one!
I used mine as a 1 strap shoulder bag today and loved it! For me it didn't feel heavy however there is some weight to it. I really enjoyed it. I love just starring at it. Lol. I see myself using this bag for so many different occasions not just CNY. It was designed very well and will fit any occasion imo.
This just popped up on my phone. I think some of the brands/ items have been previously mentioned in this thread but others haven't (Alexander McQueen, Prada, Chopard and a couple more(:

14 Lunar New Year Gifts for the Crazy Rich Asian in Your Life
Enter the Year of the Dragon in style.
The Coach Nolita and scarf arrived. The Nolita is cute but the leather is just ok so will be returning it. The creed is pretty cool though as they note it is in collaboration with Chinese artist, Lianyang.
The scarf is listed as 100% silk but it feels like polyester to me TBH. It's super thin so I am glad I got it on sale. Going to see if I come across the Asia exclusive bags but if not, the scarf will be the momento.

I bought these same 2 items and agree, think I'm going to return the nolita bc I don't see using it compared to the more impressive rogue. I do find the scarf pretty. Both items were pretty inexpensive.
Both items look very nice! Bummer about the leather quality. Perhaps a little leather conditioner will help it? I know the pouch is new in itself, however there is no telling how long the cow hide has been laying around before it was used. Just a thought maybe the leather is just thirsty and needs about two coats of conditioner.
Lol. Too cute!Hi @Debbie65, how are you storing your straps?I used mine as a 1 strap shoulder bag today and loved it! For me it didn't feel heavy however there is some weight to it. I really enjoyed it. I love just starring at it. Lol. I see myself using this bag for so many different occasions not just CNY. It was designed very well and will fit any occasion imo.
I’m afraid if I store it wrong, it would scratch the bag. Thank you!!
Sharing another picture of this lovely LNY Tory Burch bag!

My LNY Tory Burch arrived! Its beautiful! My first TB. Not used to such short straps… will get used to it.
Strange thing is - I purchased through “text to shop” at South Coast Plaza and they sent me a link to checkout. I put in my correct address. It was sent FedEx and arrived today - but almost didn’t make it! Somehow my street name was incorrect (close but not really) on the FedEx label. Luckily another driver who knows our names happened to see the pile of boxes and grabbed it and brought it to us. Does this mean TB creates their shipping labels manually? So odd! So grateful for our delivery person!

It's FIRE!
I store my chain strap inside the bag. I'm not sure how your Eleanor was packed inside but my interior was packed with paper that was folded in a way that it created a "pocket" like opening. The dust bag was folded in that opening including the chain. I kept the paper and use it to stuff my bag during storage and I just allow the chain to lay inside of the paper pocket and dropped in a silica moisture packet with the chain. The part of the chain on top of the bag and on the sides of the bag seems to be fine as it is just lightly resting on top. I will attach some pics so you can see what I am referring to. Have you taken yours out yet? Attachments
Oooh wow! Someone did a boo boo. Yes! Thank GOD for your delivery person! That is strange that you typed in your address but the street name was wrong! Yes kudos to the person that recognized your name and address! I'm not sure how that happened! I'm glad you received your bag! I'm so thankful I jumped on it when I did as it's sold out online and down to just 2 at South Coast. Enjoy your beautiful LNY bag!
I'm glad you got through to South Coast!I know yours was sent from the Tory Burch Boutique and mine was sent from Tory's warehouse so the packing may be different. If your bag wasn't stuffed with the same paper folded pocket you can just lay a short layer of stuffing paper at the base so your chain rests on that, or use fabric...like a pair of white socks. Lol. That will work. Use white or a very light fabric so there isn't color transfer.

I'm not too tied to the Nolita so that tells me to return it. Leather quality is important to me so when something feels plasticky like this, I know that I won't reach for it. If all I end up with is the scarf, I'm okay with that since the dragon is super large and the focal point. I wouldn't mind checking out the Coach LNY Asia exclusive bags, but I'd probably need to check out the leather first lol.
