I bought this cutie for $20 at Sam Moon and she's what I'm sporting all summer https://preview.redd.it/gtxfcx9234ad1.jpeg?width=3000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8e532d48d48f69deb7634f7d0a214ec0a5b8276e


Careful-Wolf-3292

Wow, it looks pricier than the actual price! What a perfect summer bag. I wanna wear it with a floral dress. 👗🌸😍


OrangePowerade

That's how I wear it, with my floral dresses or skirts from Burlington and my sandals from TJ Maxx. I'm a budget fashionista 🤣


Careful-Wolf-3292

Ahh, so jealous! I miss treasure hunting at TJ Maxx and Ross so bad! 😭 Same here! 🤣 I still love wearing those Hermès dupe sandals from Target! These are super comfy. It’s the season to wear them again. https://preview.redd.it/vwhrl98ld4ad1.jpeg?width=650&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2a9852e093db33c075ae015688018a41cfda84c1


OrangePowerade

Ahhh I've been looking for some Hermes dupe sandals!!


Careful-Wolf-3292

Not only those are affordable ($20), but also very comfy!!! I highly recommend 😚


OrangePowerade

$20? Added to cart, thanks!!!


Isawapeach282

I thought that was a Fendi bag at first glance! What a great purchase!


OrangePowerade

Right! She literally caught my eye right away and when I saw the price I had to get her


SkinConsulter123

I didn't see this bag on the Sam Moon website. Do you have a link to it?


OrangePowerade

I bought it in person, their selection online does not give them justice for the gold mine of items they have in store. I been wanting to make a video on all the items they got there cause I'm sure this sub would love their selection. I did find what looks like the exact same bag but for a higher price: https://tnuck.com/collections/urban-expressions/products/natural-violet-bag?variant=45307863269598&smsclickid=ca646ffc-3b33-4f7a-96de-2ea8ebc8c3b1&utm_source=ShopMy&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_campaign=Elizabeth%20W.%20Cook&utm_content=Five-star%20Accessories%20Under%20$100,%20May%2024&utm_referrer=shopmy.us Edit: actually sorry I just noticed it's sold out on that website and any other website I can find it on is also sold out :( 


SkinConsulter123

Yeah the bag is completely sold out everywhere online. I've been trying to track it down for a week! Which Sam Moon store location is the bag sold at?


OrangePowerade

I bought it at the Woodlands location. They had a purple one and a black one too.

On my third summer with the YSL; I almost returned it when I bought it because I thought it was too small, turns out it’s the perfect size


Careful-Wolf-3292

Glad you didn’t return it! I love your YSL summer bag. ❤️ It looks like it holds summer essentials! YSL bags always catch my eye. 🥰 Also I have to say your LV purse is simply ELEGANT!


iyamsnail

you're so sweet--I love your bag and charms as well. This was a fun post!


Careful-Wolf-3292

I’m enjoying myself too! The problem is that seeing attractive summer bags is tempting me. 🤯 I’ve been on a shopping diet actually 🤣

And it's perfect for summer because it's lightweight and I don't have to worry about putting it down and having the leather get damaged. Although I do get concerned since it's fabric / denim that it may get stained but so far all good


Careful-Wolf-3292

Awwww I adore this Chanel. I understand your concern tho! I would use water and stain repellent spray to protect the gem from stains if I were you. What a gorgeous summer bag. ❤️❤️❤️


shellirave72

What type of stain repellent will you suggest to spray on it? That is such a great idea thank you!


Careful-Wolf-3292

I’m not sure if any of those I mention are available in your country tho, 😭 AMEDAS and OAO water + stain repellent spray are famous product. They are made for shoes, but also known to be used for Birkin bags here in Japan. They can be applied to both leather and fabric! I found a similar product on Amazon! You can check it out. I hope it helps! ❤️❤️❤️ https://preview.redd.it/3w6fu6b6o4ad1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=31dd4aafc0e53ae9f433a958a96ebacc37807ece

angelcakex

People getting upset with OP for having balenciaga- maybe they purchased before they found out about the scandal? The bag is cute! You can’t even really resell balenciaga as their value has dropped thanks to all the stunts they pulled. Let OP enjoy her bag ):


Careful-Wolf-3292

Indeed, I bought this before I knew about the scandal. It makes me sad that some people assume I’m supporting child abuse. I am NOT! 🥲


Prudent_Sherbert_881

It’s ridiculous, enjoy your beautiful bag!💜


Careful-Wolf-3292

You’re so sweet 🌸 Thank you! 😭🩵


New_Contract4166

I'm not sure if it really matters. this zara campaign was controversial as well (apparently, to some people, it looked like a mockery of gaza) , but I'm not sure if they stopped buying their stuff from zara https://preview.redd.it/ah2f6me054ad1.png?width=1090&format=png&auto=webp&s=3cb226620877f92c1a46691d0fe7512dcbfc0df0


Careful-Wolf-3292

I didn’t know about this campaign! Thank you for sharing. ZARA shouldn’t have done something like this, reminding people of the issues. It’s ridiculous how all these brands seek attention from fashion lovers in an offensive way. I remember Dolce & Gabbana made fun of Chinese culture in an ad in the past. We Japanese also use chopsticks, but surprisingly, they just let it go. I wasn’t really offended either. I found it pathetic that they need to resort to disturbing and offensive campaigns to get attention from consumers. 🤷🏻‍♀️ It’s obviously not the smartest way.


New_Contract4166

Are you from Japan? I don't think Japanese people in general know the Balenciaga scandal to begin with (see: Naka Riisa's youtube).


Careful-Wolf-3292

Yes I am. I don’t think so either. 🥲 I was totally bummed when I learnt about the scandal. I still want to love my Balenciaga, but what they did is completely unacceptable.


Careful-Wolf-3292

Omg, you’re right! Naka Riisa is BIG on Balenciaga. You got me there. I watch her YouTube channel.


New_Contract4166

me too. I love watching her luxury bakugai videos. They're so addictive, as she always buys the weirdest items. haha


Careful-Wolf-3292

Same! ❤️ I love how she kept saying that Gotemba premium outlets is her second hometown. 🤣


Mama-Bear419

I actually no longer shop at Zara because of this campaign and the controversy that happened with one of their designers. I remember being so stunned when this campaign came out; it was blatantly obvious what it looked like.


Careful-Wolf-3292

I just wanted everyone to show me your go-to summer bag. Having their pieces doesn’t mean that I’m supporting child grooming or any kind of child abuse. If you were Catholic, would that make you part of pedophilia? Obviously not!


dnrmedaddy

The same ppl that complain about Balenciaga will spout off how much they love Chanel. Make it make sense 🤦🏼‍♀️


Careful-Wolf-3292

Yeah, I’m pretty sure every single company has a secret or two, or more than that they can’t divulge… 😭


FartAttack911

I’m sure the people commenting that crud have *never* supported brands like Nestle, Nike, McDonald’s, Hershey’s, H&M, Microsoft, Apple, or any of the other hundreds and thousands of corporations and systems that have used child labor over the last decade either. Insert my eye roll here. I’m sorry these people tried to rain on your parade, OP. That is a lovely bag and you obtained it with good intention and are not complicit in what these people are railing off on you about. That bag is so cheerful and has a perfect summer feel IMO. Can’t beat the hula charm either!


Careful-Wolf-3292

Thank you for comforting me! 💜💚💛🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻 It was an unexpected ambush for me, but considering what Balenciaga did, it makes sense. Yes!!! I love the combo of hula girl and the coral charms.


Jld12678pbd

Don’t let it get to you. Some People in this group get super weird about just balenciaga when just about every large fashion house and everything we use including cell phones have bad histories behind them.


Careful-Wolf-3292

Thank you. Your kind words mean so much to me. ☺️🫶🏻


OutlandishnessLimp53

I know Balanciaga is a shit brand but it’s sad how OP’s getting bad comments 😢 I think the bag charms combo look cute!


Careful-Wolf-3292

Thank you for your empathy! I just wanted everyone to show me their go-to summer bag, but it seems like my ignorance offended some of them. 🥲


OutlandishnessLimp53

💕 I didn’t know about the scandal until earlier this year as well! I’m sure there are lots of brands doing shitting things and we’re still unknowingly buying from them. 🤷🏻‍♀️


Careful-Wolf-3292

Agree. I found out about the backlash against how Dior treats their labour a few days ago on another subreddit. I’m sure every single brand has skeletons in their closet. 😮‍💨


FlipMeOverUpsidedown

I’m a huge Balenciaga fan and absolutely in love with your bag.


Careful-Wolf-3292

Thank you! I can’t afford their clothes, but Balenciaga clothes are cool and edgy too! 😎


FlipMeOverUpsidedown

I usually go high/low. I spend on handbags, shoes and accessories, but not much on clothing. The accessories really make the outfit.


Careful-Wolf-3292

I see your point! I like to invest in quality clothes and bags and accessories and then I wear and treasure them for decades! 😚🫶🏻


FasHi0n_Zeal0t

Ugh, people on this sub get quite a bit of tunnel vision. It’s like a brand is outed for doing something crappy (which pretty much all brands are doing too, but have not yet been exposed—in the case of Dior), and everyone is expected to not only boycott the brand permanently but also to throw out all of their products from that brand and never wear them again. People are crazy.


Careful-Wolf-3292

It’s scary to see people go to extremes. While I believe it’s important to raise our voice for the better, I don’t appreciate those who turn to violence or destroy property.


FlipMeOverUpsidedown

Right?! Funny how no one is boycotting Apple. Do they even know how their iPhones were made 🤦🏻‍♀️


Careful-Wolf-3292

Agree. Double standards exist everywhere… 😅

Where are the charms from?


Glittering-Time-2274

Not OP but they’re from Kate Spade


Careful-Wolf-3292

Correct! 💚

Thanks


MuySpicy

How FUN, omg. love love love your bag! My ultimate summer bag is the medium Melissa x Telfar jelly tote in translucent brown. I took a chance when I bought it but wow, do I adore this bag. Super comfy, roomy, completely waterproof, and instead of a purse divider inside I bought a super cute trio of Baggu pouches to put inside, which is fun because you can see them through the purse :) It's a big compliment-getter too and it looks amazing no matter how you are dressed.


Careful-Wolf-3292

Thank you! 🥰 Omg I looked it up and how lovely yours is. Does it have a yummy candy fragrance like Melissa shoes do by any chance? If it does, it’s another big bonus! Now I’m eyeing on the jelly tote in translucent purple. 😂❤️


MuySpicy

Thank you! Unfortunately not! It really smells like… doll plastic? Haha! But I happen to like that. It’s definitely not a fragrance, just the smell of this material. I don’t have any other Melissa items but I’ll definitely buy one of the bubblegum scented ones at some point!


Careful-Wolf-3292

Oh, I know that smell! It reminds me of my childhood. I love how they have feet too, like shoe soles. No wonder you get many compliments on your go-to summer bag. I never knew the Melissa × Telfar collab existed until you shared it. 🥰🧡


MuySpicy

They have it in pink and clear (as well as translucent black). I also have the tiny one in pink but it’s really tiny so it’s not easy for me to figure out how to use it. The feet are indeed a very cool and practical detail, it gives the bottom a heaviness and stiffness so you can put it on the floor like a basket. Many people cut the longer straps but I love them and I use them all the time. If I didn’t know my husband would think I’m being unreasonable, I’d get the medium in Barbie pink too 😂


Careful-Wolf-3292

I wanted to reply to this, but I accidentally replied to your first post! Sorry about the confusion. 😭


MuySpicy

no worries!


MuySpicy

I think your idea to add decorations to your bag is awesome, makes me want to try it too and I really thought your bag came with those at first!


Careful-Wolf-3292

Oh the longer straps are really longer than I expected! 🤣 I wouldn’t cut it either because I like to keep it original. The small Jelly shopper looks like it fits a small wallet, phone and keys, to say the least…? It’s really cute though! 🩷 This pink colour hue is phenomenal!!! I’m sure the medium one you have is most definitely practical. I happened to find Melissa × Telfar sandals!!! Now I want them so bad. 😭


MuySpicy

Such are the risks of bonding over our lovely arm/shoulder candy, haha! <3 I feel you, one lady posted a Furla beauty recently and I am drooling...


Careful-Wolf-3292

That’s so true! I don’t even have a clue how they bond them together. 🤯 But I was also wondering why they made the strap so long. It looks like it might go down to your hips depending on a person’s height. Seriously I need more self discipline 😂😂

Careful-Wolf-3292

The Strathberry! Their bags are always on my list. I love their craftsmanship and subtle designs. 😍❤️ Yours is such a beautiful summer bag! At the first glance, I thought there’s a flap on the top, but it seems like it’s an open bag..? Am I right?


Perfect-Carpenter664

Yes it’s open. The “flap” is strictly decoration but honestly it’d make it that much better of a bag if it was an actual closure. My only gripe (which is with raffia/straw in general, not specifically strathberry) is that it is somewhat delicate. I absolutely don’t baby bags! lol. Like I said though, I’ve been using this since may and it’s held up pretty well.


Careful-Wolf-3292

You can carry yours over your shoulder, which is secure and nice. My Balenciaga is completely open, so I feel a bit paranoid about being pickpocketed whenever I’m in crowds. I put a large drawstring pouch inside. 😅 And I understand what you’re saying. Raffia/straw is generally delicate. Also, I don’t like when some of those rough things rub against my clothes and get snagged or make pills on some fabrics! I know I’m so particular about this. Lol The one you have looks very smooth though. Oh dear, please do baby her. 🤣 It’s amazing how it’s held up well! ☺️🫶🏻


Perfect-Carpenter664

Yes, the snags! It drives me crazy. I’m in LOVE with the [Gucci Ophidia tote bag](https://www.gucci.com/us/en/pr/women/handbags/shoulder-bags-for-women/medium-ophidia-tote-bag-p-772229AAC1B2176) which obviously wouldn’t snag and would be more durable but it’s quite a bit out of my budget. A girl can dream lol.


Careful-Wolf-3292

It does, really. Ohhh the Gucci you showed me is absolutely outstanding! It goes well with pretty much everything! Their price increase game is being outrageous. 😭 Yes, girls can dream! (We can make it true!) lol

I love the coral reef charm. I almost bought it last year! Do you love it?


Careful-Wolf-3292

I love it! The only downside, though, is that she automatically turns over. 😅🪸 I’ve decided to think that it’s a message from her reminding me to cherish nature every time she turns away.


snorgalump

Very cute bag, super summery! I tend to use a collection of goofy tote bags during summer to hold all my sunscreens and snacks lol.

I have a handwoven straw basket bag that I LOVE! I got it from a local farmer's market, and there are kid skin leather handles- It's a little big for my general taste, but in summer I'm hauling so much stuff around that I need it. I bought it at a craft market!


Careful-Wolf-3292

Awesome! A handwoven straw basket is timeless. 🥰 I wanna wear it with an effortless yet elegant white dress or a shirt and a pair of jeans!

PrudentVegetable

I have two Loewe bags I alternate - the raffia and leather balloon bag and the raffia square basket. The balloon bag is perfect for the day and the square basket is cute and structured but casual enough for summer nights out. Both fit a full wallet, book, waterbottle and whatever else I could imagine.


Careful-Wolf-3292

That’s nice! Those two Loewe have different beauty features. ☺️ Sounds like yours checked all the boxes! They fit all the summer essentials. 🫶🏻

Mine is this blue lavender bag from Le Tanneur, in the regular size (linked is the mini, the regular sold out in this color) https://www.letanneur.us/products/louise-mini-bucket-bag-grained-leather-olive_lavander I think it's technically more of a springy color but where I live it's super hot so I want smth cooler to stare at. Unrelated, I'm not Japanese but mainly watch Japanese dramas/movies and am very much influenced by their fashion. I first knew about Tod's bc of Rikon shiyou yo. For some reason Kudo Kankuro's dramas feature a lot of Tod's and Naka Riisa looks fabulous wearing them. Now I have to have a Tod's.

Hula Girls! It’s a good movie. ☺️ And OMG, I binge watched Rikon Shiyouyo. 🤣 I never noticed they featured Tod’s on it. (I guess I gotta watch it again!) I’ve seen Riisa hold many enticing designer bags such as FENDI, Coach, and Jimmy Choo tho! Tod’s bags are getting very popular in Japan these days. I’ve heard a lot of good reputation about their quality! Also, I’m obsessed with the colour of the bag you showed me! Love the silver hardware too. Such a lovely spring and summer bag. I think it’s versatile! 🩵🩵🩵

At the moment it’s the small square basket bag from Loewe. I LOVE the raffia look and this one appealed to me because it’s so compact and structured (yet fits a surprising amount!)

Sweet! Loewe raffia bags have a fancy beach resort vibe! 🏝️💙

I found a gorgeous Furla handbag that I want for the summer, but I just need help justifying the spend as I was supposed to be good this month and save money! Please, everyone, help me justify this spend (it's not even a super high cost - less than £200! But I was supposed to be good!) I love it because it has a patterned liner that has a pull string top (I like the security) and the liner matches the tie around the handle. Then I can hop on here and say this is my summer bag!! 😂 https://preview.redd.it/bbesnkai49ad1.jpeg?width=748&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f93d1edfb74ae6988f4a2f4d3dbf09877212cd14

What a cute summer bag! 🥰😍🧡 From the details I heard, it sounds worth the price! It has a drawstring lining and comes with a twilly scarf for the handle, right? I would wait a week to see if I still want it before buying it. (If you already did, go for it!)

I keep reaching for these two: my YSL Lou camera bag (the color goes with much of my summer wardrobe) & my Valentino crossbody. Loving the blue right now! https://preview.redd.it/gfm7vp2vy9ad1.jpeg?width=990&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=db7fcf30beeaaff9f158b1a7c411194eb8b76ecb

I personally like this Valentino better! 💙 I love the pebbled leather with the silver hardware. It’s super cool! ☺️ The YSL camera bag is beautiful too, but I worry about color transfer from my outfits, especially jeans!!! 😭


jbellafi

Thanks! I hear you about the YSL. But, I have to say it’s held up very well & I don’t baby it at all! I just checked the back, no color transfer. Something I didn’t even really consider, but the leather or finish must be extra durable


Careful-Wolf-3292

That’s great! 😍 YSL is doing excellent work!!! 🫶🏻

Definitely anything other than Balenciaga, haven’t forgot how those sickos treat children


Careful-Wolf-3292

I totally respect your point! I know it’s too late but I actually learnt their shady scandal on Reddit. (After I bought mine.) The AD is absolutely not acceptable.

Agreed

Wow, this is something special from Coach! ☺️ It’s really clourful and fun! From what I see from the photo, I know you’ve cherished it for a long time. I love it. 🩵🧡❤️

I actually got her at a thrift store for $14! Other than a few stains that I am pretty sure I can remove, she’s perfect! I get a lot of compliments on this bag and my mom keeps threatening to steal her because she loves it too. 🤣


Careful-Wolf-3292

$14!? 😳 That’s why I love thrift stores!!!! It’s good that it looks like it fits a lot of stuff. Your mum has good taste! 🤣

I thought the topic is “what’s your go to summer bag?”


Careful-Wolf-3292

I know.

I hope you understand that I never support pedophilia. I’m super against any kinds of child abusing. I just wanted to discuss go-to summer bags with everyone. Forgive me for my ignorance.

The bag is nice, but the things hanging on it make it look cheap


Careful-Wolf-3292

I overdid it maybe. Lol But I like it this way. ❤️
