Handbag Recommendations

your niece goes to FSU? WOOHOO GO NOLES!!!

I just transfered away from there. WTF was I thinking?

I love the speedy. Big enough for all my crap, but casual enough to carry around without looking uppidy.

Definately the PAPILLION....love that bag. Great for her now and forever!

I purchased a Murakami Speedy 30 in White yesterday...and I feel it is too big for me (I'm only 5'0) and too flashy (I'd fell self-conscious *blushes*) as I am used to carrying much smaller bags (ie. pochettes, tango, etc)..but I wanted something bigger than the pochettes that I could use as an everyday bag like my tango. I also found the Speedy 30 a bit hard to get in and out of, as the zipper is right in the middle. I'm thinking the damier ribera?? I really wanted a bedford in fuschia, but they are disco'd and sold out in the US and Canada. Any ideas on what I should get??

The damier imo is a lot nicer than the monogram (murakami or otherwise). It gives it a more classic look. It's also a lot more versatile, and less flashy/trendy (which is a good thing when it comes to bags if you wanna get good use from them) And yeah, the ribera is my fav shape...

the medium-sized ribera would probably be a perfect size

i would keep it

i am not very tall myself and have a huge birkin. i agree, you need timle to get used to it. but keep it :P

Papillon 30 for sure

Papillon is timeless, always a good choice, and so is Speedy. I own Speedy 25 in black Epi and I like it better than the Monogram one, so I'd suggest the Epi Speedy.
or Monogram Mini JOSEPHINE small, also one of my favorite casual-and-cute-bags.

Is this the Monogram Mini Josephine that you're talking about?

Thanks! I do not think I am going to keep the Speedy 30...I am keen on the Kathleen in bubblegum pink. That way I get the pink bag I wanted and its quite a bit smaller.

Please keep the Speedy 30, I've been trying to hunt it down for months ( the waiting list does not work for me) so instead i bought the bedford in lavender, and it sucks, the zipper is so tight that by the time i gut my hand in the bag it's all scratched up*****therefore I'm selling it on ebay.

[meowmix]

Aw I'm personally not a fan of the multicolor Murakamis but I do think they are much more versatile than those new pink and green bags...but I can certainly understand the size issue... I'm 5'1 or 5'2 (on a good day :P )

[AsianDiva]

How about a damier papillon? The zipper opens up nicely and the bag looks softer than the ribera.

at the waikiki LV boutique there are like ten in the window. no one is buying them.

if you can afford to buy a murakami speedy, then maybe you can take a trip to get one.

[sewingfairy3]

I don't care how much it costs or how long it takes me to get one, i want a bag that will last a long time and fit all my stuff. I dont think I will ever get my hands on a Louis Vuitton Murakami or a Hermes Birkin. Please send pictures of great bags....I dont care about the cost.

[Gobi]

Maybe a Bolide bag by Hermes, they make them in all kinds of colours and leather.
Sorry I don't have any pics..
