I travel a good bit but when I’m not I don’t use totes as often. When traveling I use a backpack for my laptop but I’d much rather swap to a good tote. I wanted a tote with a closure but lots of designer bags don’t have any kind of closure so these are the ones I’ve narrowed it down to. They all feel like one I could and would use outside of travel as well. I have thoughts on each listed below:
Beatrix - I like how this one can be more casual, love the dark brown canvas as well. My concern is pics I have found of it it seems like the strap may not stay up very well?
Mercato - love this one and that it’s a bit more quiet. No full top closure but my laptop would fit
Le 5 a 7 - think this is one of the prettiest bags. So simple but just so gorgeous. Again no full top closure but I love any pics or videos I see of how it sits on people.
Bonnie large - I have a medium Bonnie and it is one of my favorite bags ever. So I don’t care about it potentially going out of style, since I like it! There is a top zip which is great too.

I have the Prada Bonnie in agave and it’s my FAVORITE bag ever. I have a Nubuck brush but curious the best way to clean any marks, or best Nubuck cleaning product? Photos below for advice.

Just got the new Prada Bonnie suede mini in water lily. Was not planning on getting this one but saw it in store and fell in love!! The color is soooo good and such a perfect baby pink! I also have nothing this color so went with it. I know it’s light and suede which means it can get dirty really easily but I typically take good care of my bags. I want a good spray to protect the suede anyway just in case!

Also just ordered the Agave Bonnie in Nubuck and can’t wait for that to arrive! I’ve read mixed reviews on whether Nubuck needs extra protection spray or cream or just to leave it as is.
So any care recs would be amazing!!

I got a large Prada Aimee awhile ago and was trying to decide on size and color for the longest time. I landed on the large size in caramel... i don’t have many bags that color which is what made me land on it. I thought it was gorgeous when it arrived and loved the color and shape of it. Since I purchased it I’ve actually lost nearly 50lb which isn’t really relevant except I feel like now the bag looks a bit awkward with my frame. Not to mention the color - which is beautiful - I feel nervous about wearing it and dirtying it at all. I typically am a black bag girl. More recently I bought the medium Aimee in black from the new FW26 collection which has a key loop on the front and a stamped logo vs the triangular plaque. And I LOVE it.. the color, the style, the size is perfect. Since I never use the large caramel I reached out to some places to sell it. I got quotes and now feel like I will have trouble parting with it - even though I don’t use it. I keep thinking “what if I could use it, what if I need a bigger one, etc.” but it feels a waste for it to just sit in my closet. Is it worth keeping? Should I sell?

I can’t decide between these two bags - the Prada Aimee (hobo? It’s taller than the typical Aimee), or the Bonnie top handle. I like that the Aimee is bigger and has a timeless sleek vibe to it. But also love that the Bonnie has more of a square shape and is a bit different. I am wanting this to be an easy everyday bag as much as possible and could see both of these personally. The Aimee, I feel could feel too big at times and the Bonnie feels a bit trendy. But also I like it so who cares haha. I definitely dress more casual/cool. Some dopamine dressing so I feel either could work. I have the Aimee large in brown and it’s beautiful but I feel like the large just doesn’t fit my body well and looks a bit awkward. I am considering selling it.
Also can’t decide which color for the Bonnie. I am always drawn more towards black but that brown is gorgeous!
