Reporting back - I got the Kate Spade #5 bag on your list! It’s the perfect shade of green and fits my 13” laptop (this will help me transition from my own emotional support baggu medium crescent w embroidered ballet icons)
Nothing compares to the storied charm of a vintage leather purse. I found a leather Kenneth Cole shoulder bag in chartreuse for $15 last year, complete with an old hospital bracelet from the original owner back in the early 00’s. I left it in the pocket because it feels like it belongs to the bag and I am just one person in its journey lol.
this couldn’t come at a better time <3 i made my beloved chartreuse medium crescent my personality for years (and even ended up posted on baggu’s ig with it), but i’ve known it’s time to commit to the baggu breakup.
Ugh this was so helpful. I’ve been looking for a normal sized leather bag for grad school and quite literally bought one in brown using your links god bless. I was mentally preparing to engage in a months long search 😮💨
Finding this article feels like divine intervention I need to break up with my baggu !!! Also linking all the eBay/Depop finds is so helpful and generous ty <3
I have been on a very similar journey in search of “”my birkin”” aka the everyday, all-encompassing bag that jane would approve of. Thank YOU for this intel
So lucky I found this bc I’ve been having the exact same issue and glad I didn’t commit to buying the crescent even though I’ve been looking at them for months. I did buy the bear bag though …. Shame on me
me and my sister call it "bag psychosis" when you are in the throes of looking for THEE perfect bag. im glad you escaped bag psychosis <3
That’s brilliant I love
This is content I live for - extremely specific, multi year saga, lots of rabbit holes, helpful links. Thank you and congrats on The Bag!
