I have two cupids. I definitely recommend it. I'm looking for a full sized Mab/morning after bag. Preferably in black because I only have one really good black bag.

Good news re Cupid then
I will keep an eye out. Was looking at so many recently they're blurring together. Satchel, hobo, tote, s/m/l. And I made the mistake of looking at a LV review, a brand I never look at. I like to have zip tops and comfy double straps that I can use on the shoulder and I'm finding that a problem with the current trends, especially as I also prefer slouchy over structured and I'm short so it can't be as big as that Coach Laila I'm still keeping in its dust bag smh

You just made me realize I haven't bought a bag with double shoulder straps in awhile. It's something I don't even consider. I know I prefer satchels over totes and I don't like hobos much at all. I had to google that coach bag because I'm not even familiar with that brand.

I have a few of their wristlets and bags but older stuff (2011-2013) because their newer ones are too big or too small or too hard or don't have top zips etc. They have had some bags that I don’t like at all and then also some gorgeous leather items lol

I avoid the coach section of department stores because I can't get in deep with any other brands. :lol:

I hear you! I know someone who is all about the LV and I never liked the logo. Didn't know the price. I shouldn't have looked at a review of a $2k plus bag lol I just can't imagine

I paid that amount for a Chloe bag a few years ago. The most I ever spent, but it was my dream bag! I like the LV neverfull bags, but they're too popular and everyone will know how much your bag costs. I hate that. Plus, the have nots might decide to take me out to get at that bag. I like going for brands that aren't hot in the streets.

Lol! But seriously I hate that people want to snatch from others who have worked so hard to get something they really wanted. Why can't we have nice things, damn. Our exchange rate is six and a half times the US dollar so I can't imagine committing to a LV or a gorgeous Chanel flap!

Exactly. It's a shame I can't even walk down the street, beyond my block, with my iPhone in my hand. I got one snatched from me two years ago. I love those Chanel bags, but I cannot spend that dollar. Thankfully, Rebecca Minkoff just released some bags in a similar style. I definitely need to get one. :haha:

That's awful. I saved and bought myself nice jewellery years ago and have to be so careful smh Yes, lots of great brands have their own styles like that, so that's good lol because I can't, Chanel, I just can't lol

The shoulder strap is essential! My bags have one zipper section and then two pockets on the other side. Sometimes I think that having those sections is a bad thing because I'll find more to stuff in there. :lol: The Rebecca Minkoff bags usually have an extra compartment in the front or the back of the bag, too to encourage me. :lol::frenz: I'm a satchel girl too

I need to look into those because my favorite bags are all the size of small suitcases which is redic., cause I'm small!

I wish mine had an outside pocket for keys. I finally had to to clean mine out. Ugh, I had so many receipts & coupons stuck in it. I LOVE Furla handbags. They are what I carry the most, but the one I'm using now is a Kate Spade with a black lower part & a cream upper pebble leather. I really love this one's "feel" & functionality.The shoulder strap is essential! My bags have one zipper section and then two pockets on the other side.

I posted this in another thread, but my hubs friends/clients gave me a $$$ Longchamp handbag for Christmas. Its quite classy in person - my first Longchamp.

:lol: For the longest time I refused to look at anything even remotely small because I'm tall and plus sized and I always explained to people it's like an elephant carrying an apple for me to have a small bag. I'm getting out of my comfort zone, though. I have like 2 medium sized bags now. :lol: I remember I had a job a few yrs ago when you had to have your bag checked out before leaving & the security guy would say 'you have nothing in that huge bag' and I'm like 'yeah not now, but..' :haha:

I put my keys in that outside pocket and I also have to clean out all that crap from my bags. See, we're sisters from another mister. :lol: I wanted those Furla Candy bags when they first came out, but then they caught fire and I changed my mind. I've seen some other nice bags from them, though. They have a store at my local mall and I always do the creepy walk and stare by it. Kate Spade has these really cute bags. I like offbeat stuff. I used to love Betsey Johnson bags (not Betseyville) back when she was at her peak and KS reminds me of that. She has this quirky Chinese takeout bag that I would love to have. My friend has a Longchamp bag and I remember her telling me it's pronounced Longchomp? That's all I think of whenever I think of that brand. :haha:

I've only worn my crossbody when I knew I wasn't going to be out long because I feel the same way. When I have my large bag, just about anything I buy gets stuffed in there. I do a ton of shopping, but you'd never know it looking at me. I have no bags in my hands. :lol:
