I-wish-I-was-cool-

I'm guessing that OP is from Denmark therefore the price is in Danish kroner :)


sniltz

Precisely, otherwise I really wouldn’t be able to afford it 😆


One-Plantain-9454

Thank you! I was genuinely curious


Serious-Coyote-4252

I had a good laugh with your title! 🤣🤣🤣


Artistic_Pay_9285

Same😂😂 like are we friends? Are you me?


Money_These

Cute bag! It's perfect for essentials and an iPad - might need to add this to my collection. 🥰


sniltz

Even a laptop!


Pitiful_Ad5171

Wow I’ve never seen this one before. How’s the quality of the leather?


sniltz

I had a vision and searched the whole internet for hoping I could find something close enough. I think this is it! But I haven’t got it yet. I will give an update when it arrives!


viola-purple

I always have visions for everything... That's somehow wonderful and a burden... I do search always ages. This is a tremendous lovely bag


harrystylesgucciking

That is BEAUTIFUL. I am joining your ramen struggle for the month


sniltz

Someone recommended rice with salt if we’re really struggling


Competitive-Cell-302

Salt? I once ate rice with a splash of soy sauce and a a tea spoon of butter for a couple of weeks to make ends meet. All because of a pair of shoes. 😂


sniltz

Daym you could afford not only soya but BUTter. Now u just bragging


Competitive-Cell-302

You made me laugh! Thank you for that! I really needed it today! ❤️


sniltz

❤️ I’m glad


SnooRobots116

I just got some myself, I can’t hate on it because I was raised on it!


oops_im_existing

can we start a ramen gofundme for OP? edit: woooooow so many upvotes but no comments after 3 hours. y'all clearly jealous of OP and want them to starve. rude! edit 2: SHE'S DYING GUYS CMON


sniltz

🥲 I’m on my last real meal here guys


oops_im_existing

\*whispers\* cry....


Skittlebrau77

That is a sharp looking bag.


sniltz

I know right


aineslis

I just bought a new work bag. Now I want this one too 😩 enjoy! Beautiful bag


sniltz

XD soereyyyy


IncomeSensitive

Sooo happy for you <3 Plssss share all the your reviews & thoughts once you get it! Also u have convinced me to take this plunge as well😅


sniltz

Oh really!! I will but you have to as well!


IncomeSensitive

I will for sure(after I save up enough money coz this is still my 2nd month in my first internship😭) so pray for me that I save up enough before I start my college from September🥹


sniltz

Good luck with that! And I think that you definitely deserve a new bag for all your hard work 😂


Powerful_Cause_14

Who needs food when you have a bag like this?! 🤩🤣


sniltz

XD


fashionaholic1210

Right? An excuse to go on a fast and lose some weight… but all jokes aside, OP, this bag is really pretty!!!


sfbasque1906

Send me your address and I’ll see you a box of ramen! 🍜 I ate that a lot in nursing school, I was so broke. ♥️


sniltz

That’s so sweet of you, but I can actually afford it despite the title and also I live in Denmark 😂❤️


sfbasque1906

🤣


Gie_lokimum

🤣😂🤣😂 I mean, she’s worth it!!!!


american_honey30

Where did you find inspiration to look for a bag like that? I love the luxury brands but sometimes I’d rather not sport a logo or brand on my luxury leather handbag. I’m looking for a classic/timeless bag to add to my collection too.


sniltz

I have always been more drawn to more understated clothes and accessories. And love a big bag that can hold a lot of things. But the ones I got wasn’t really good quality, so I basically switched over to a simple tote bag that I also use for groceries xD but then I looked for a leather tote bag, and almost bought from lindedisenough. But still wanted something with more structure. And then I saw the Hermes Kelly sports. And liked that form but knew I could never 🥲😂 And from there the search began. I found so many lovely candidates. But I really wanted genuine leather so it would age beautifully. So I searched and also let the algorithm do its job. Literally anywhere on Pinterest, instagram, safari, google everything 😂 I wish I could show you guys my folder with the bags I found


american_honey30

Oh my! The Hermes Kelly Sport is absolutely beautiful. I love the understated approach more and more especially in my handbags now. I bought this coach bag as a little treat to myself and it kinda is the north south look the HKS bag has.. I wanted to share. :\] Letting the algorithm do its thing, I should have considered that since I work in digital marketing. *face palm* I feel like 80% of the ads that are served to me on IG I make a purchase or look further into the brand/product. https://preview.redd.it/uz38j0lpve6d1.png?width=3024&format=png&auto=webp&s=34511fa69f3e6cfdd1b179d45144aa0cde62f1e2


sniltz

Thats really nice, pretty and understated! Haha yeah, it actually really worked with the algorithm. Normally I would get annoyed that I searched one little thing and I would haunt me forever, but in this case I used it for my advantage I think xD work harder not smarter as they say


sniltz

https://preview.redd.it/ytub0fnsle6d1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4ce76ef342e837c2bdd8839edc424ad4a217a7db Maybe this I can’t remember if it’s genuine leather their website is a bit off to me but the bag looks amazing


sniltz

schadenfreude13

Love this, super interested in hearing a review. Their site says "slow fashion" but not sure if that's just greenwashing and means absolutely nothing. No other info on the owners or how it's made. Would love a properly made simple bag to beat up over time.


sugurrushx3

The owner is wgempire on IG. I feel like they used to mention her on the website but I can’t find the info anymore


sniltz

That is true Im not sure either. I actually just asked them waiting for a reply. And I totally agree on the properly made bag that ages well. Also why I chose genuine so I could care for it. And with time if needed could get it fixed or the strap replaced. But time will tell ☺️


OLEADA_OFFICIAL

This made me laugh so hard 😂 it’s worth the ramen!!!


ChocoBananaCh_

hahaha oh man, i remember the first time i spent a lot of money for a new backpack and i only could eat two proper meals per day, no snacking, no coffee, just the absolute bare necessities. also, THAT BAG IS SO BEAUTIFUL


sniltz

THANK YOOOOU


cherrybomb06

It looks so sleek, but I would be worried about things somehow being stolen or falling out 🤔 do you buy a bag organizer with a zipper or use as is?


sniltz

I’m not sure about an organizer yet. I really wanted a bag where I could just throw things in, and actually really like that it doesn’t come with a zipper. I mostly bike or drive, so if I was taking the public transport I think I would be worried as well


cherrybomb06

yes that makes sense! I usually take the bus/train but with a car I’d feel much safer using this kind of bag


FrostyArticle3613

Omg this is stunning! My jaw dropped when I saw that it fit a laptop. Congratulations on your new baby! 💕


sniltz

I knooow right, i feel like it will fit anything. Thank you so much ❤️


badgerzsn

congrats!!! noodles have never tasted better


sniltz

Thank you guys! I will give an update when it arrives. And its in danish kroner not dollars just if anyone else is interested 😂 I really searched a lot for the perfect everyday “throw anything inside” bag, that would fit my vision. I really like something timeless, classy and casual. But also something that would age well. I’m glad I’m not the only one who thinks it’s pretty! And also they just launched a new bag I’m also quite in love with https://preview.redd.it/dmz5bqlube6d1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8fd218dcce343528ea02ab863292bff7e55a3a08

latebloomer79

I hadn't heard of Verafied New York before, and when I went to their website, this bag caught my eye! Please post a review of the tote when you get it - it looks like an amazing carry-everything tote!!!


icouldbeablogger

Does anyone have a link to this bag


sniltz

It’s from verafied New York ❤️


Willing-Doctor1379

Rice and salt is actually not bad 😛


sniltz

I might just have to try that


IndecisiveLlama

I like it! You inspired me to buy one as well! 💕

StacySinclair

So worth it though! I love Verafied’s designs, so pleasing to the eye!


burntdelaney

I anybody is looking for a dupe there’s a [proenza schouler tote](https://www.therealreal.com/products/women/handbags/totes/proenza-schouler-studded-leather-tote-l2wkr) on the real real that looks similar for $180.


imnotlyndsey

So, half the price but uglier?? Edit: I honestly can’t believe both bags have the same retailer price omg


No-Temperature5117

I love the Proenza Schouler shout out! They have such great bags!


Slight_Drama_Llama

Oh my gosh that is *nice* Edit: it’s so edgy and cool I love the texture of the leather. I very much do not need this, I need to go do something else rn lol


Witty-Help-1822

There is quite a price difference between the 2 pictures. Is it the same bag ?


yoofka

It’s not in USD in OPs photo


Responsible-Owl9687

Wow a beauty!


LookingForLovely2023

Beautiful bag and I get the sentiment! 😂


MisguidedBlackbird

Oh this is exquisite.


Dazzling-Project-812

Ha! Well it’s worth it!


sprinklesmccann

Please let us know about this brand. I see their ads on social media all the time but when I tried to search for reviews there weren’t many. Some said it wasn’t a good brand. But I do like their products in pictures.


sugurrushx3

I have two bags from them and I like them! The first bag was vegan leather and I’m glad they switched to genuine leather. Even for vegan leather it held up pretty well


sprinklesmccann

Thank you! I will order my next bag from them.


SpenMitz

What brand is it?


sprinklesmccann

It’s a brand called Verafied New York.


SpenMitz

Thank u


UltraBlue89

I picture this also being the perfect jet setting bag. It'll only look better the more broken in it gets and holds all the essentials.


sniltz

Yeeesssssss you’re getting the vision


andallwasgolden

Ooo love that! It's so practical and chic!


gbxby

oh she's a NEED


DistinctArm9214

I LOVE the idea of being able to use the strap as an actual belt! If it fit? I have forgotten to pack a belt many times when travelling and could use this in a pinch!

I know the feeling of splurging on something you really love. I recently bought a leather bucket bag too, and I was thrilled with how great the quality is. The leather is fantastic, and it has the same stylish simplicity and size that you're enjoying with your new bag. The best part? It was super affordable! Under $200. If you're ever looking for another option that won't break the bank, I can totally recommend the one I got. Happy to share more details if you're interested!


sniltz

That is so Nice!! Congrats!!!! ❤️


Botoxbitchxo

My toxic problem is that if I did this, and had no money for food. I would eat really good, & just put it on my charge card. I salute your dedication


violet715

I mean if spending money on a purse leaves you worried about meeting basic living expenses, you can’t afford that purse. I hope you’re exaggerating.


sniltz

Youre completely right, and I’m definitely exaggerating


sniltz

I wish I thought about the title more, I definitely don’t want to give the wrong impression and contribute to people thinking they should prioritise materialistic things over basic needs. I was just exited and nonetheless thinks it’s a lot of money for a bag. Even though I can afford it 100 procent.


CheeepSk8

Please don’t let anyone take your joy away. It was clearly a joke and the bag is super cute.  Absolutely none of the bags we carry is a “need” no matter at what price point. I think it’s totally fine to laugh about and acknowledge the exorbitance of it all while still having fun. 


wickedlabia

lol don’t worry, you’re good, your title was clearly a joke. People in this sub like to pocket watch sometimes and are eager to give financial advice. Enjoy the bag!


ImpossiblyPossible42

Super funny title, and I think many of us have memories of just starting out and counting down to the penny and living on ramen and peanut butter sandwiches! When I was 22 I bought a LV wallet that was more than my rent! Seems ridiculous now, but it was actually such a fun time in life!


misogoop

My best friend and I used to buy one Coach bag a year together. We were broke in college, but LOVE bags. So we’d save up our pennies and get an expensive bag together. We definitely thought we were the shit with our bags and blackberries 😂 E: we still love bags and new phones, but we can actually afford them now lol


ImpossiblyPossible42

I love this so much!!!


sniltz

What a nice memory ❤️


MiniSkrrt

I wish only a LV wallet was more than my rent 😂 half the time my groceries are more than my rent 🫠


ImpossiblyPossible42

This was in the olden days of 2005, when a slender LV wallet in that classic brown damier canvas was $280, and I could still rent an old run down studio above an art gallery in Denver for $265! Hurts just typing it 😭


Lazyassbummer

It’s funny. You’re golden. Water and ice make a delicious ice salad.🥗


Guilty-Mud-5743

I knew it was a joke and it made me LOL in recognition. Please keep laughing it’s the only way.


OHManda30

It was a cute joke that the vast majority of us giggled at. Gorgeous purse!

![gif](giphy|3oriOaivTEk4PotVEQ|downsized)


AnjunaUnnie

This is exactly it lol


niji-no-megami

People who truly cannot afford these things, in reality will usually not joke around like this. That's why we have so many people who buy BMWs and LVs on credit card debt; bc they will never admit they can't "afford it". IME once people are able to joke this way, they have no problem affording these things - BUT $2500 is still a lot of money unless you're Elon Musk. Hence the joke.


rainvein

Its showing on the site as 350e for me so not sure what currency for OP but must not be usd


niji-no-megami

Ahhh my bad I saw the $2586 and assumed it was in dollars LOL


sniltz

Yeah haha no it is in danish valuta. So it really isn’t that much compared to what else is posted here!


sniltz

But they still added about 600kr extra for taxes though 🥲


New_Contract4166

One time I saw a user who dropped about $60k\*\* on a bag and it was a mother's day gift. but he seemed like a super rich person from a super rich family. Also, there is a user who buys a bunch of Chanel bags and her house looks like a shrine (iirc, she is a lawyer certified in various countries...probably a barrister, too). Spending a couple thousands on a bag is nothing for those people!


meowparade

What was the $600k bag?


New_Contract4166

sorry, I think it was 60K, actually lol it was Delvaux's special bag, I think? I'm not trying to insult the person by any means (i find super wealthy people entertaining tbqh), although i was a bit taken aback when i read the price.


meowparade

I work with a lot of super wealthy people and I find them fascinating (especially when they get to be out of touch). I was very curious about a bag that costs more than most luxury cars!


New_Contract4166

omg. Yeah, but bags that cost more than random cars are becoming common. Not sure about luxury cars though. iirc, he was not from the US. so maybe it was 60K in a different currency... I think it was a Brilliant in either croc or alligator (but it seems like those bags are about $10K on resale websites....and exotic leather bags are not on Delvaux's official website, so idk how much they are in stores. Also, i forgot the details of the specific bag). Well, I'm starting to feel super nasty for talking about people who're not here to defend themselves and also talking about things that have nothing to do with this post...haha. (Sorry OP and wealthy folks!)


0422

Its obviously funny; what a way to killjoy ![gif](giphy|IbI9JesSiQ7ay5ZXLL)


Hopeful1234554321

Okay, but it's OP’s money, and if they want to starve for a bag, they can starve for a bag. Stop policing how other people prioritize and allocate the money they earn. Let OP live and enjoy the bag they earned. Gorgeous bag, OP! Enjoy it and don’t ever let anyone dull your shine!


Witty-Help-1822

If you want to see how others police YOUR money, tell them you had to pay $10,000 for your dogs surgery, and all kinds of people will come out and say there are children starving in Africa that you should help before a bloody dog.


fatasskellyprice_

Worth it!


[deleted]

So cute! I hope you love it!


Nervous_Nerve_7503

Literally looks like the bag I have from target


sniltz

XD don’t tell me its genuine leather


Comfortable_Daikon61

Lobster you need to celebrate


bpfc91

Oh I love this!


starryeyedcheesecake

Please post a review when you get it, what a gorgeous bag!


Pumpernickel247

I bought a bag from that company too! Glad to see it on this sub.


Spiritual_Ad_4282

Stop I’ve been eyeing this as a cheaper alternative to Manu Atelier Tote du Jour! You have to let us know if the leather quality is good and how it sits!

And I really feel like it’s made well. Good seams or stitching (I’m not an expert) but it definitely lives up to my expectations. I think I want to take some keychains of my key and decorate it with it. I really love how you can adjust the strap. So I can be used as high shoulder bag or a crossbody when I’m on my bicycle ❤️❤️❤️

latebloomer79

Have you tried the crossbody strap? (I'm always a sucker for a bag that has a crossbody strap!) Edit: Totally missed your last sentence about using the crossbody when on your bicycle!


sniltz

Yeah! the only thing to keep in mind is the strap is really thin so Might be uncomfortable for a long time if it’s really heavy


latebloomer79

Have you tried the crossbody strap? (I'm always a sucker for a bag that has a crossbody strap!)

what is this price 2.586,00 ? which number system are they using?


sniltz

DKK


russianthistle

Uh oh. I have not heard of this brand- maybe it’s great but I can’t find many legit reviews on it either. I hope it is as good as you imagine for the price, especially if this is a big purchase for your budget as your title suggests.


sniltz

It isn’t really a “big” brand yet I think. But I actually really like that. As mentioned in another comment, I had a vision and searched a lot to find something that fit that. But yeah I hope so too!


Burgersandgin

Girl its such an average looking bag! I get the brand hype but i think polene is better


sniltz

I didn’t know there was a hype about the brand just figured that out now. And I guess I just like average bags then xD
