Handbags are my weakness❤

[@5ftNothing]

Me too Jolee. The sales were so good this year. My mouse might have slipped a couple more times 🙄💖

Great new bag, I just bought a 26 quilted tabby in a silver color. Which I’m loving. Congrats to you. Take care 🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸

[@5ftNothing]

Hi Mary, thank you. The quilted Tabby is a lovely bag, congrats to you too 🥰

[@Mirella_MtOlympia]

So glad that you got the Empire version that you wanted!! The color is gorgeous too! Congrats Kaz!!!🥰🥰🥰

[@5ftNothing]

Thanks Mirella, the size is perfection and I love the colour. It was worth waiting for 🥰

[@michellejackson7950]

This bag fits all your essentials in ! Perfect ❤

[@5ftNothing]

Hi Michelle, thank you, it is such a great size, I love the colour too 🥰

[@GraceChen838]

Woooo, what a gorgeous bag, I am glad you got a wonderful deal and something you love. The colour is beautiful!!

[@5ftNothing]

Thanks Grace. It's a really good quality bag for just under 1k, I think I'm in love 🤎😅

[@joyLoveC]

Hi Kaz! Congrats! Maple is such a nice colour 🤎. It fits a lot, too. Great that you found the perfect size! 🧡✨

[@5ftNothing]

Thanks Corrine. I think the Tabby you bought was Maple, it really is beautiful colour 🥰

I still don’t know, why I love handbags and small leather goods, so much! I was a little girl, who ask for Christmas, handbags, tea pots sets, and dolls, the babies with diapers to change.😅 I love this bag, the color is the perfect brown or maroon. This was helpful, I am thinking in getting one, the size is perfect. I am petite also 5’2”. Enjoy it in health and in love. Thanks for sharing.❤

[@5ftNothing]

Thank you for your kind words, it's so nice to share my love of handbags. I think the 28 is the perfect size too, I hope you manage to get one 🤞 🥰

[@JoleeSO]

Ok Goldilocks! Let’s get the right size 😊

[@5ftNothing]

It’s the perfect size for me! 🥰

[@JoleeSO]

@ it’s a fantastic size 🤎

[@kaja9552]

I'm so glad the Empire Bag worked out for you! It's a beautiful bag. I'm the same as you as far as charms. I don't have any. The thought of Scott hiding your mouse makes me laugh. I can picture you looking for it in the late night hours when the urge to check the internet strikes😄

[@5ftNothing]

Thanks Kathleen. Scott really should have hidden that mouse, it slipped again, whoops 😂

[@marytownsend3718]

Glad you had good luck with the Empire bag. It’s beautiful. I had to punch extra holes in my shoulder strap since I’m also 5ft nothing.

[@5ftNothing]

Hi Mary, I'm really impressed with it too and I think the 28 is the perfect size to use as an ordinary bag. I'll definitely be punching a couple of holes in mine too 🥰

[@jaks_bag_attack]

Love the look can't stand the divided split ❤

[@5ftNothing]

It definitely restricts the amount of room and you have to be more organised. It's a bit like a game of tetris 😅

[@JoleeSO]

Glove tanned ( think baseball gloves )

[@5ftNothing]

I've never seen a baseball glove. The leather is lovely though 🥰

[@McMc-jl2wn]

I agree, it’s a gorgeous purse! I’m curious on your thoughts though on buying preloved luxury?

[@5ftNothing]

Nearly all of my luxury bag collection is pre-loved. Most of my bags have never been used although technically they're pre-loved because they're pre-owned. I've only bought 3 of my collection direct from boutiques, 2 Chanels and 1 Louis Vuitton. There are some good deals at the moment. My advice would be to buy from a consignment store that has a good reputation. It's easy now to check their reputation looking at google reviews, trust pilot etc. I do think it's advisable that once you have the bag to have it authenticated even if the 'store' you're buying it from have authenticated it themselves. I hope that helps 🥰

[@kathythomas9352]

I love this bag in this size. My only regret is that darkness of the interior. Thanks for the video.

[@5ftNothing]

Hi Kathy. I agree, it would be a great bag if the interior was lighter but the quality and size is excellent 🥰

[@jaks_bag_attack]

You know almost everything is manufacturer in china which is closer to you, i bet they import it all back to america to export it out, because technically its cheaper to send it to Australia

[@5ftNothing]

Very true. It probably goes as good as once around the world before it gets here. It's the same with a lot of European brands. They make 90% of the bag in China, it goes to say Italy, they finish off the last 10% so they can say it's made in Italy. Then a lot of it is probably shipped back to China to be sold. It's a crazy world we're living in Jackie 🙄

[@grreeeeee]

perhaps the base measures 28cm? the widest point would be 35cm

[@5ftNothing]

It's the distance between the D rings either side of the top of the bag and you're right I just checked, it is the base too 👍

[@JoleeSO]

lol! Where DOES the 28 come from? Weird 😊

[@5ftNothing]

I've just been measuring every bit of the bag and I found the 28! It's the distance between the D rings on the top of the bag and just the flat part of the base too 🤔

[@JoleeSO]

@ hahaha yes
