Love your bag and thought process— and that I’m not the only one who makes bags pass the book test

Love that bag! I bought a cherry red Barney’s bag on eBay, but it is not leather 😒 The seller already sent a very generous discount for a minor issue she noticed when she packaged it, so I’m just going to find it a new home.

Oh no, were you expecting leather?!

I was. I’ll give it to a vegan friend. The cherry red bag search continues! Or maybe it was a sign I should abandon my quest, because I already have other items in that color and maybe that would be too matchy matchy 🤷🏻‍♀️

Might I suggest burgundy as an alternative.. lol

It honestly has been serving as what I wanted the cherry red to be!

I love your bag! I bought a glossy red leather bag of a similar size— D&B , and a little more y2k (more pockets and zippers and some slouch/crinkle) and I love it! Red is such a great color
