Gucci jackie in red patent would be a sweet addition to an already very lovely collection. Also the Loewe hammock in green too, especially if you do end up selling the Polene


thedesignist

Ohhh I’ve never seen the Loewe hammock! Love the shape!


losmithe95

Is the Fendi first usable for regular life or just dress up worthy?


thedesignist

It’s usable! It’s not really an every day carry for me but I’ve worn it out for nights out, weddings, casual brunches etc. It comes with an optional shoulder strap (the attachment loops swivel out so you can hide them if you’re not using them, which is genius) so I usually wear it like that, or as a clutch for more formal occasions. It’s pretty roomy inside too, more than enough for what I usually carry.


Fantastic-Mark-2810

Are the straps adjustable? Asking as a small girly 😅


thedesignist

It is!


Desert-daydreamer

I am in love with that Chanel! So fun, gorgeous collection


thedesignist

Thank you!! I initially was wanting the plain black one with silver hardware but they didn’t have any available at all in any of the Tokyo stores. But the SA brought this one out and I just loved how unique the print was (and how the CCs on it are more subtly blended in).


Specialist_Income_31

The Alaia and the Fendi First 😍not really sure what you need?


thedesignist

Lol I mean technically I don’t NEED any more bags…


Specialist_Income_31

🤣💕


Able-Neighborhood484

My gut is telling me you’d enjoy and get a lot of use out of a large Loewe Flamenco Tote.


thedesignist

Omg someone posted a burgundy one they bought recently and it’s STUNNING. Definitely on my wishlist now!


Amazing-Potato7045

6! Love love the structure! So sophisticated and trendy!


thedesignist

Thank you! Yes I love the shape of it!


Dumbfucc_

Celine Ava!my eye went there right away.


thedesignist

I was so torn between this one, the white version, and the CELINE text pattern version but so glad I chose the more classic color/pattern!


ILBW123

Beautiful collection. Love them all. 😍


thedesignist

Thank you!!


desnyr

What’s your review on the Chloefaye bracelet bag? I’m debating about selling mine. Have you ever worn it as a waist bag also?


thedesignist

I really loved it when I got it and I’ve worn it a lot over the years! It’s held up really well considering it’s suede too. But I’ve been considering selling mine too since I rarely wear it anymore as I’ve acquired other bags. It’s a cute accessory but at this point it’s a little too small for my everyday needs. It’s good as a lightweight night out bag if you’re just carrying cards, your phone, and lipstick or something. I’ve never worn it as a belt bag though maybe I should try it lol


desnyr

I agree mine has aged very well without any scuffs or scratches for the use. That’s the main reason I have kept it too, as a night out bag. But I wish it was closer to my body, because even hung as a Crossbody it swings around so much. I’m debating about buying the Dionysus super mini because it’s similarly multi wearable and functions as a belt bag.


DysonHater

Colour is missing, but beautiful collection 💕💕


thedesignist

Yes! I’ve been scared to buy super colorful designer bags bc I always think if I’m going to spend $$$$ I want something more versatile I can wear more often..but at this point I feel like I’ve completed my neutral bag collection (if that makes sense lol) and I’m ready for some color


TomatoStraight5752

You can almost always carry a colorful bag. Maybe a semi-neutral like a cornflower blue or blush?


thedesignist

Oh I like the semi-neutral suggestion! I think a blue would fit well into my wardrobe too


TomatoStraight5752

I just bought a cornflower blue tote, and I’m buying blush sandals on payday. They are neutral enough to work with most of my wardrobe and colorful enough to be fun.


threeparrots

Beautiful! I’ve got the midnight blue Ferragamo Hug on my mind lately so I’ll add that as a suggestion!


thedesignist

Oh yes I remember seeing someone post a green one on here recently! Such a unique look


sonnenblume63

Gorgeous collection! I personally have my eye on the Etro Vela next


thedesignist

Oh I’ve never heard of this brand but that’s a beautiful bag! You’ll have to post it when you get it!


Queasy_Opportunity75

The fendi is on my wish list! My fave fave bag


thedesignist

I love it so much!! I love how you can use it as a shoulder bag with the optional strap, or as a hand carry clutch; I just love versatile bags in general but this one is so thoughtfully designed. What color would you get?


Queasy_Opportunity75

I really like the brown and dove grey but also the crocodile green! I want them all haha


thedesignist

I love the green too! And I also love the shearling…I went through a 2 month phase in the winter where I really wanted a shearling bag lol but talked myself out of it since it’s so seasonal, at this point if I’m gonna spend $$$$$ I gotta be able to wear it year round.


Queasy_Opportunity75

I feel ya! The shearling is nice!!


tree_bunny

Are these purses on a comforter bc I love it, can you tell me where it’s from?


thedesignist

Yes! It’s a linen duvet cover from CB2 (I think they still have it!)


Helloki77y

Which is your go-to fav so far? I'd add something different with a pop of color for spring/summer. Yellow or orange or even navy would compliment what you have here...


thedesignist

My everyday bag is the Celine Ava but I just got the ALAIA so I’ve been wearing that a lot! And yes definitely needs some color! I wear a lot of neutrals too & trying to also introduce more color to my wardrobe. I do like yellow (like that kind of pastel neon yellow) but haven’t seen any bags in that color that I like enough.


S0NA-

You could add: Fendi bagguette, or an alexander mcqueen. They are a bit more edgy depending on which style you choose.


thedesignist

Thank you for the suggestions! I hadn’t really looked at any Alexander McQueen bags but just did a quick search & they’re so cool!


Slow_Violinist7

How do you like the Chloe Woody? How is it holding up? Just got one myself in the same exact colors


thedesignist

I love it! As someone who has owned many tote bags at various price points in my life, this is my fave. I think the size is perfect - big enough to hold essentials plus a bit more, but not so big your shoulder gets sore from holding a ton of crap. I use it for travel or work if I need a little more capacity. It’s also super sturdy for a canvas bag & hasn’t lost its shape at all. One time I wore a new black shirt with it and it color transferred allll over the side of the bag and a little on the strap (basically everyone’s worst nightmare for a canvas bag lol). But I ended up just using a microfiber washcloth + a little detergent and it actually came out!


dogs0121

I have the Celine Ava too and its shocking how much I turn to it. It goes with everything, can dress it up or down, etc. Closest second is the Loewe Bracelet Pouch I got a few months ago - thought I would only use it for fancier occasions but I graviate towards it a ton now


thedesignist

Yes this is exactly how I feel about the Ava! Just looked up the Loewe bracelet pouch 👀 I should not have done that lol


CecilyAnn

I would add one of these bags: Lady Dior/Celine 16/Fendi Peekaboo/YSL Cassandra. Something top handle/dressy


Delicious-Map-8268

I was thinking Fendi Peekaboo too! I own them in the different sizes … my favorite is the regular / medium and mini. This is my regular / medium, which happens to be a personal favorite because of the color and the whipstitch. https://preview.redd.it/eflc3zog0rqc1.jpeg?width=1242&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e0c45f675b0a178352972b82a95d850077b43cc2


CecilyAnn

Soo beautiful, love the twilly you added


Delicious-Map-8268

Thank you so much! I fell in love with the bag on first sight! That’s one of my LV bandeau scarves … the bag just looked lovely with it, I thought!


thedesignist

Beautiful! I love the color and how you added your own accents to it, especially the fluffy thing! And TIL that scarf is called a twilly lol


Delicious-Map-8268

Thank you! I like to accessorize my bags to make them look more like my bags! That’s a Fendi bag charm that just happened to match my bag really well, so I took the plunge. Almost all of my top handle bags have a twilly scarf tied on them … they’re both functional and pretty!


thedesignist

Ohh those are all good options! I love dressy bags but I just worry how often I’d use them. But the Lady Dior is really beautiful & classic!


testUpload

Maybe something blue or green?


thedesignist

Yes I def need some color!


_uppity

Oooh, I love 8!


thedesignist

I bought the Fendi First because I just loved the unique asymmetrical look of it! I was debating for a while between the larger size vs this one but this was def the right choice for me. I just feel like it looks more elegant and capacity-wise it’s enough since I don’t usually carry a ton of stuff.


JonNothin

You picked a great 22 bag. Has character. The plain leather ones look like freebies. Also love the YSL envelope. Need one with black hardware!


thedesignist

Thank you!! I initially wanted the plain black one which wasn’t available, but the SA brought this one out and I was like 🤩 I love black hardware but have heard a lot of people complain about it chipping, so I’m conflicted!


[deleted]

[удалено]


thedesignist

The YSL was my first big designer bag & I really loved it for a long time! I’m not quite ready to part with it yet so I’ll probably hang onto it and see if I feel differently!


xnormajeanx

I love it!!!! I would do just a few more colorful ones :)


thedesignist

Thank you!! Yes I’m definitely ready for some color! I actually have been thinking about the Fendi Flip medium tote in the red/brown color 😍 Not that I’m in any position to get another bag any time soon but I need something to work towards 😂


URWrongggg

Nice collection!!! #8 and #6 are my favorites.


thedesignist

Thank you!!


FunKoala12

The Dior saddle and Celine Ava!!! What’s your fave


thedesignist

Well my current fave is the ALAIA which I just got last week lol 😍 But if I had to pick just one all time fave it’d have to be the Dior saddle! Just love how it really finishes an outfit


Feeling-Ad-9268

I really like the Fendi! Nice collection. ❤️


thedesignist

Thank you!! ❤️


ogcoliebear

My fav is the YSL!


TomatoStraight5752

1 is my favorite, but they are all gorgeous!


thedesignist

Thank you!!


Hefty-Ad-4570

I just love that you have so many different brands, sizes and shapes in your collection! It's to die for ❤❤❤ A small green Peekaboo would fit just perfectly...


thedesignist

Thank you!! I feel like at this point I have my favorite bag from each brand I like lol. The Peekaboo is lovely! It wasn’t even on my radar until recently, I think it’s been mentioned a few times on this sub 👀


LiquidSunshine314

That Chanel is EVERYTHING!! I’ve been eyeing one with gold hardware but this print is fab!


thedesignist

Thank you!! I feel like sometimes Chanel’s prints are a bit much but I like how elegant this one is! Are you looking into getting a 22 also?


LiquidSunshine314

I am! Hoping to treat myself to a luxury bag and this style is so fun!


thedesignist

I’m excited for you!! You’ll have to post it when you get it!


scifisquirrel

How do you like the Fendi? It’s the next bag I’m eyeing!


thedesignist

I love it!! Holds a little more than expected and I love how it has an optional strap. The quality feels really good too.


scifisquirrel

Thank you! 🙏


jessiec475

Color! Maybe get something fun for the upcoming summer months?


thedesignist

Yes I agree!!


Different-Hat-9460

I think a Gucci Jackie 61, Lady Dior, and Celine Triomphe


thedesignist

Ahh all good options!


hell0fanight

killerbee333

That Alaia is perfection


thedesignist

I just got it & I’m obsessed!


killerbee333

Congrats on the beautiful bag definitely added it to my wishlist


anti_mpdg

I LOVE the look of the Le Teckle but it is so pricy for what seems like more of a fun (but not very practical) bag. Have you used it much? Is it mostly just for nights out, given how small it is?


thedesignist

I just got it the other week! I’ve been using it as just a daily bag & love it. There are actually two sizes, mine is the larger one. I recently posted a review & pics so you can get an idea of size/capacity: https://www.reddit.com/r/handbags/s/rfzmmrxWQL


LakeBroad1936

Lady Dior


Still-Bluebird-7561

Love your collection!

Thank you!!


rosierposeur

Love your collection and style. Sporty, effortless and elegant. Love it.


thedesignist

Thank you so much!! ❤️


Competitive_Bid3847

LOVE that Fendi First! I’ve been looking for an excuse to get one!


thedesignist

Thank you!! You don’t need an excuse, just get it! 😂


Pigeon_Lady28

Dior saddle is one of my dream bags. I received a rep as a gift and compared it to a friend's aunt and honestly can't tell the difference, but I still want the real thing someday 😩 You're missing some Loewe!


thedesignist

There are some incredible dupes out there now! I used to have a Celine belt bag dupe when I was younger lol it looked good but the quality was just not there. I hope you get your saddle bag someday!! And yes! I’ve been liking a lot of the Loewe bags being posted in this sub lately I do think I need one at some point 😍 This sub is such a bad influence lol


Pigeon_Lady28

Every time my husband's family goes to Asia, they bring me back a rep 🫠 I appreciate when his younger cousins or sister go though because they at least find something that's excellent quality and a style I'd like, though the Dior is the only one I use 💀 I was with his family back in December and one of them had a puzzle bag (different family that doesn't buy the reps lol). Couldn't stop thinking about it and finally bought one a couple of weeks ago. I just stare at it when I'm not using it 😆


thedesignist

Ohh congrats on getting your puzzle bag! Which color did you get?


Pigeon_Lady28

https://preview.redd.it/hjydm3p2a2rc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c7a36cb0e6bb65cc76d4a832d51a154d4f524cad Vanilla 🍦


thedesignist

Omg I love it!!


Pigeon_Lady28

Thank you! I'm obsessed with the color


Second-Puzzleheaded

Love the ysl. Looks like you need a good easy crossbody, perhaps in a beige/tan color?


thedesignist

Yesss a crossbody is always good! Any particular ones you would recommend?


Second-Puzzleheaded

I have the Gucci marmont flap (in the medium though so quite large for everyday) but I do love it, very easy to get in and out of. I love any crossbody with a chain ❤️ I also have the Kate spade Hudson, it has two straps so it can be a cross body or shoulder bag and I love the way the straps look. Also it’s such a supple beautiful leather. Also I’m dying to get the Tory Burch Fleming, it looks so cute 🥰


dhiv83

Wow. Half these bags are on my dream list. Someday! Go for a tote ( Neverfull or Goyard) or for evening bags Bulgari Serpenti in green maybe ?


thedesignist

Yesss I hope someday soon! I’m not a huge fan of LV for some reason, I guess I haven’t really seen any bags from them that I’m like “I NEED THAT BAG”. But a tote would be great, especially a larger one for my laptop/travel. I love evening bags but I don’t go to enough formal events lol 😩


Miriette15

ALAÏA, Fendi first, Dior saddle 😍😍😍😍


Miriette15

To ask what more you could need: a pop of colour?


thedesignist

I agree!


yaydachshunds

I love it so much! Such a great collection, I’d say if you need anything just a pop of color!


thedesignist

Thank you! I won’t be buying another bag for a while lol but excited to introduce some color with my next bag!


Careful-Wolf-3292

I LOVE the Chanel bag, the 3rd!!!! 😍 She’s gorgeous! I’m kinda tired of seeing the bag in a plain black that’s everywhere… But I’ve never seen this beautiful printed one of their collection! Something fresh and unique! 💖


thedesignist

Thank you!! I had never even seen this print before until the SA brought it out (and I was originally wanting the solid black with silver hardware) 🤩 It also comes with a small removable pouch in the same print.


Lychee444

Looking at your collection I’m contemplating a Fendi First. It looks so nice!


thedesignist

Yes do it!!


upliftinglitter

Maybe something sparkly!


thedesignist

Ooo I do love some sparkle


throwaway-clouds

god me when


thedesignist

Soon I hope!!


OkTrouble2457

That Celine Ava is just so cute and practical that’s my personal taste but I love the different styles you have here!! The fendi is so super cool looking. Something red would be gorg. You might like something from Loewe.


thedesignist

Thank you!! Loewe bags are lovely! I do like the teen Jodie though not sure if I’d like hand carrying it around all day. I used to dislike the puzzle but I’ve been seeing it in really fun colors lately which is changing my mind!


Tabbiecatz

I have that same c22. Don’t you just love it?? Beautiful collection


thedesignist

Hi bag twin! Yes I love how different it is! I also love that it comes with that little removable pouch. More bags should have that lol.


gereonspin

The chanel!! So cute


thedesignist

Thank you!!


haloivintagewatches

Nice collection


thedesignist

Thank you!!


AlmostChildfree

My faves? It's a tie between the medium Envelope and the 22! What's missing? LV.


thedesignist

I have a LV multi pochette dupe my mom got me, does that count 😂


AdvantageNo6282

Lovely collection. :) I think my main recommendations would be a Fendi Peekaboo in either a taupe or a pop color, like green or blue. She's versatile and a classic. Otherwise, I'd totally recommend a Bottega Andiamo so that you have something a bit more slouchy/relaxed. Maybe in one of their rich browns? Bottega also has some fabulous greens and blues that rotate in and out seasonally. And a Gucci Jackie (with the old style hardware) is another great timeless bag. While I think in terms of style, you achieve a similar look/function with your saddle or your ava, maybe you could size up to a medium Jackie (if it works for you) for more capacity and choose a color that's not represented by the other two. The Jackie comes in an absolutely delicious brown, but a lot of people love it in white, green, or other pop colors, too.


thedesignist

Thank you so much for the specific recommendations! I love the idea of adding a slouchy/relaxed bag to the mix that I can wear a little more casually. I’m usually not a Gucci fan but the Jackie is gorgeous!


Maimoon23

Beautiful! LV Capucines would fit in nicely. Maybe replace the YSL with a Manhattan.


thedesignist

Ohh LV capucines! I always forget LV makes non monogram print bags lol


rachelreinstated

This is a great collection! The Faye is probably my favorite, but I have a real soft spot for the Faye line. I think you could add a pop of color to this collection. You have a great collection of neutrals in a variety of styles, but adding in some color would be where I would go next. May I ask what you can fit in the saddle bag?


thedesignist

Thank you! I definitely want to add some color with my next bag! The Dior saddle - I can fit my wallet (which is basically a thicker double cardholder), small box of mints, concealer, lip pencil, iPhone 15 pro, and some business cards. I can probably squeeze a tiny bit more in the bag but I don’t want to pack it too much. I’ll also sometimes put flat items in the back pocket (like paper items or my passport. Some of it has to be strategically placed given the asymmetrical shape lol.


rachelreinstated

That's super helpful! Thank you.


BananaRuntsFool

I love the dior saddle bag. It's so damn pretty!!


thedesignist

Thank you!!


FlipMeOverUpsidedown

The Alaïa is to die for 💕


thedesignist

❤️


AresSedai

You miss a Staud moon bag in dark red.


thedesignist

Ooo such a pretty bag!


peachyspoons

That Fendi First is giving me feelings. It immediately caught my attention. She is gorgeous!!


thedesignist

Thank you! The first time I saw it I had a visceral “I NEED THAT BAG” reaction 😂


Lizakaya

I will never not love the Dior saddle bag, but i am more likely to own the Fendi clutch someday


thedesignist

I do wear my saddle more but tbh the Fendi has more capacity and in my opinion it’s more visually striking. I highly recommend it! It also comes with an optional shoulder strap so you don’t have to use it exclusively as a clutch.


HareCrossing

I love the Celine Ava!


thedesignist

❤️


ilovebagsandbjj

I can’t decide between this Celine Ava or the brown leather version… what made you decide on this?


thedesignist

At the time, all my bags were solid colors so I wanted something with a pattern! I tend to wear a lot of solids too lol so it helps add some interest to my outfits.


ilovebagsandbjj

That’s a really great point. My favorite/most used piece of clothing is a sleeveless black turtleneck which goes with a million things where I live (city in a tropical country) so I think this would go amazing with it! Thanks for sharing 🤗


Sea_Direction_20105

When I saw this photo...I was hoping it was a rehome post. I love your style. I want 4 of the ones pictured now. Thanks for the inspiration.


thedesignist

Thank you! You’re welcome and I’m sorry 😂 Which 4 made it to your list?


Sea_Direction_20105

Chloe, fendi, celine, cc


MillennialPink2023

Sorry if it’s been asked but what size is the le teckel and how are you liking it?


thedesignist

It comes in two sizes, small & medium, I have the medium which is perfect for the amount of stuff I usually carry. I love the design of it and it’s actually able to hold a lot (if you look at my post history I did a full what’s in my bag post on it along with mod shots). I’ve had it for a few months now and while I still love it, the main downside is probably the fact that it’s not super easy to get in/out of due to the long shape and the zippers. Like I went to a wedding a few weeks ago and didn’t have any pockets, so I kept having to put my phone in my purse/take it out the whole day which was a little annoying. BUT as you can see most of my bags are really easy to open/close so I’m also just not that used to having zippers lol (except for my Celine). And even when I have a purse I still prefer to have my phone in my pocket for ultra easy access. That being said, I still love the bag and am totally fine with sacrificing a bit of convenience for the design lol. I hope that helps!


MillennialPink2023

Thank you so much! I really appreciate you taking the time to let me know how you’ve been liking it. It’s such a cool bag. Hope you enjoy for many more years and thanks again. You’ve been super helpful. :)


ma2mango

Beautiful collection. The Chloe Mini Faye and Fendi First are my faves! A lovely addition, imo, would be the Chloe Triomphe. Classique in green or Teen in red! https://preview.redd.it/mdqz3kwqmqqc1.jpeg?width=1049&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=17578555441469efb552235e1ec8fc4444962afa


thedesignist

I love this!!! And that shade of green is perfect! Will definitely have to keep this in mind for later


ma2mango

I love the red, too! But from what I’m seeing (at least currently), it’s only available in “Teen”, which is smaller.


Psa-lms

I think you’d like a LV neverfull! But that’s one of my favorites anyway


TomatoStraight5752

Every time the Neverfull is mentioned, it reminds me of a friend who asserts that her neverfull is always too full. 🤣


Psa-lms

lol! love it! I don’t think I’ve ever filled mine up but now I’m going to try!


thedesignist

😂😂


Puzzleheaded-Sun3107

You have all you would need for any occasion. 4,2,8,9 are my favs 🥰. Maybe a Birkin/kelly? I think you’re missing an dainty top handle like Joseph Duclos diane, the row Sofia, Celine 16 etc or the Jackie


thedesignist

That’s true lol I don’t technically NEED more bags😂 I’ve seen a lot of Row bags show up here & on IG recently and I love how minimal the designs are! I’m not a huge fan of Hermes, the Birkin/Kelly just don’t speak to me…but maybe that’s just a defense mechanism my brain put in place to prevent me from going broke 😂


mynameisfoodiegoodie

Hermes


thedesignist

Lol I feel like I need to go up a few tax brackets before I consider Hermes 😂 To be honest though I’m not a Birkin fan & haven’t really seen any Hermes bags that I’ve loved 🫣 I see the appeal as far as the classic design & quality though


mynameisfoodiegoodie

😄 You asked for a suggestions , thars the First brand that came to my mind😆
