I purchased a metallic gold mini o case back in April. I didn’t think I could do a purse in this color. Then, a few weeks ago, I caved and purchased the mini classic handbag from the Fall/Winter 2026 pre-fall collection.

It’s made of metallic crumpled calfskin, and it has silver-toned hardware. I am generally a gold hardware girl, but I do like the look of mixing metals.

As I was unboxing a few other things today, I realized I had some metallic gold Sambas that I can pair with this bag. Yay!

This isn’t an everyday bag for me, so I’m not too worried about scratching, etc. Plus, bags are made to be used.

Oh, and these mini o cases are perfect tossing into bigger bags. I’m obsessed with CHANEL o cases!

I purchased this in April, and I finally took her out for a spin today. It holds all the basics and is easy to carry. Love it!

One of my sales associates was able to land a sale because they dared to tell me this was the last bag in the US. This generally does not work on me. I had to go home, do my research, call client services to confirm availability (my SA did show me the inventory on her phone, but still! 😂), sleep on it, and then decided that I needed it the next day.

The leather is soft and supple. I just finished cleaning and conditioning the bag this morning; I got a few scratches this week, but they buffed out pretty easily.

The bag charm was a December purchase, and I barely decided to use it today.

There’s no zipper, but my workaround for this is to put all of my items in cosmetic bags and pouches, and then dump everything in a drawstring dust bag.

Retail is $9200 which is highway robbery, but I just sold several items to The RealReal, so…girl math. 😂

I have always loved vintage Gucci pieces. This doctor bag/travel bag took my breath away while doom scrolling.

Now, I feel like I need to hunt it down! Plus, this creator’s style is impeccable!

This is my first mini classic. I prefer a bigger bag, but when I saw this color for 26B pop up on the app, I was determined to find it in-person.

Of course every store I went to only had the rectangle classic, but I was able to see the color. To be honest, the color in-store was not great. It looked more salmon.

I was able to have the square mini shipped to me, and I still wasn’t sold until I brought her into the sunlight.

The color is a bit of a chameleon; I’ve decided I like that, and it is a bit of a neutral. I like that the light gold hardware kind of reflects what’s around it, so it can appear more gold or more silver.

I’ve decided to keep her! I wanted to share because I know a few of us have been wondering about this pink!

I love this song so much. The bridge gets me every time. I’m going to listen to it on repeat for the next 30 minutes. 😂🥹

I was organizing my stuff today and decided to see how two of my charms and one of my bandana scarves looked on a couple of my purses. I will most likely use the bandana and apple, but I think I like embossed croc shopper tote to be in its natural state.

I’ve purchased several CHANEL charms and scarves, so maybe I will post those another day! Anyone have any favorites?

I have been trying to get my hands on this bag since June, and it was only popping up randomly in Europe. I did not want to pay a reseller or a finder’s fee, so I actually decided that I’d have to get my green fix with the small 25, the mini shopper, and the medium classic.

One of my sales associates called me last week to tell me he got the bag in-store. I paid so fast!

It finally arrived yesterday, and…I’m obsessed!

I’m sorry. This was a sad moment, but Cynthia’s goofy self really brought the comedy. Her reaction still sends me to the moon to this very day. 😂😂

I love watching Housewives for moments like these.

I’ve always liked the style of the Tabby, but I did not care for the large C on the front.

Anyway, I saw this on release night/day, and I was shocked at the price. Now, I’m not stranger to expensive purses. I own many designer items (CHANEL, Hermès, LV, Bottega, Gucci, Loro Piana, blah blah blah), but I wasn’t sure if I could really pull the trigger for this purse, so I didn’t.

I started reading about Rocket Buster, and I decided that I wanted a pair of their boots! The more I looked at their boots, the more I wanted the purse! The black purse sold out, but the burgundy was available; I preferred the black.

I was on my computer one afternoon last week, and it said in-stock. I figured someone must have returned theirs! I had just received my credit because FedEx lost my Scarlet Haversack. I also had multiple VISA gift cards, so I pulled the plug.

I really wanted to see the purse in-person! I hadn’t seen any influencers showcase it in an unboxing.

Anyway—it’s arrived! I think it’s very beautiful, and I like that it’s a collaboration. Had I not had those VISA gift cards to soften the blow, I may not have purchased.

Also…you speak $3K on a purse, and COACH can’t even be bothered to include a dust bag! 🙄

Please post new items, questions, SA referrals, and anything related to 2026B here through July 24, 2026.

Purchased this in Paris; I love it! It will also be released in blue.

I’m not particularly fond of any of the handbags or other SLGs that I’ve seen so far, but I was a fan of this notebook. There are a few ready-to-wear options I’ve seen and liked, so we’ll see if I can get my hands on those on Thursday.

I love a big bag, and most of my purses are a good size. However, they aren’t ideal for nights out. I purchased a Nano Shopper on the pre-loved market in my favorite color—GREEN! I used it tonight for an Olivia Dean concert, and it was perfect. I meant to take pics of its contents; maybe I will do that once I’m home and in better lighting and add it to the comments.

Anyway, phone, card case, lipstick, hand sanitizer, nail file, and a stain remover pen for perfectly. If you carry keys, they’d fit, too. I like the chain; it’s long enough for shoulder wear or crossbody style.

Yay for pre-owned goodies and the nano shopper!
