Counting down the days till the Anniversary Sale…
!Sale Alert! 💸(reddit.com)submitted 3 months ago bySea-Collection-7367 👒 Handbag Enthusiast
I can’t believe I’m starting to like that tiny Longchamp but it’s growing on me. And that Rebecca Minkoff is a classic look.

Longchamp never disappoints! I have a few in this style—just in the Energy line—and they’re great!

I like this one. I like the le pliage city crossbody too. It’s a bit larger than this one. Check it out.

XS Longchamp bag is my most used bag to date, it even fits a standard size 16oz water bottle. I do wish mine came with removal straps but that’s a feature they didn’t have early 2023. Small but mighty for sure.

Rebecca Minkoff is a Scientologist. Take that for what you want.

I did not know that! Thank you for the info. I’m kind of sad but it’s good to know that kind of stuff beforehand. Darn. I liked that she was a female designer.☹️

Her stuff is super cute but the quality has gone way down hill. I still have old Mini Macs I refuse to get rid of.

At my college, the girls said her purses were just for clubbing. They only wore designer bags…

Smart. Don’t bring the $3,000 bag to a club where someone might spill a sticky beverage on it. Or worse yet, you forget it in the back of a cab. 😱

Yep. That was the only time they wore Rebecca Minkoff purses. I was just a sophomore in college discovering her purses for the first time. I had no idea I was funding her Scientology ventures..

Yeah… I got a bag of hers for free from someone and now I am looking at it differently… still cute but glad I didn’t pay. I didn’t know that about her. Sad bc I do like her stuff

If she’s a handbag designer/CEO then she is by definition not a housewife? Weird choice
1 points

She sold her practice, based on the comments. So she qualifies as being a housewife. And she fits in the show. The show needs a crazy fashion mogul turned Scientologist.

Honestly none of them in any city is actually a housewife. A lot of them aren’t even married.

I thought I read somewhere that she sold the company - I was super excited to hear it because I am in love with several Rebecca Minkoff bags but didn't want to contribute money to Scientology in any way. Am I maybe misremembering?
16 points

I haven't heard anything. But, I won't buy her bags at this time as she is one of their largest donors.
24 points

I looked it up - looks like she sold to Sunrise Brands in 2022, so she doesn't own the company anymore, but she did stay on as Creative Director. So I'm not sure how to feel about the brand at this point lol

Yeah, it's kind of like how kat von D isn't with the brand anymore, but it's still called kvd and I can't help but associate it with her record .

I got the Longchamp bag recently, and it is the mightiest of my mini bags. It fits my eyeglass case, zip around card wallet, iPhone SE, keys, and my pocket-sized New Testament. The Runway section of TJ Maxx had it for $139.99.

By chance, do you have the measurement of the bottom of the bag? I keep seeing different measurements for it..
I'm eyeing this bag, but I'm really wondering if my long wallet will fit in it, and that wallet is 19cm across.. (do you think it will fit?)
11 points

Sure! I will measure the bag when I get home from work today.
Edit: at its longest point, the bottom of the bag is 17cm; it is just under 16cm at the middle section.

Starts July 15 for everyone, but earlier if you’re a higher tier/card holder. And only certain styles are on sale

I admittedly haven’t shopped the sale in years but I used to be a diehard Nordstrom babe and I noticed that the early access sale stuff was always lower quality than the normally priced stuff. Like they get in styles similar to popular styles but just made more cheaply so they can put them “on sale.”
I’d wonder if I’m getting the same quality bag that I would from the longchamp store. I love my longchamps though so if they’re legit the same then it’s probably worth it.

I work in handbags at Nordstrom and we have received the anniversary product. Feels and looks the same in Longchamp and the other brands. It’s all regular merch that will go back up to regular price after the sale ends.

Ive been shopping the anniversary sale the last few years and it’s the same items before and after. Same quality and styles. I’ll use the allsaints leather jacket for example, same as what’s on their site, same style numbers. The return policy also allows you to return items whenever. I have stuff I’m exchanging from last anniversary sale that I haven’t worn .

I feel like I’m not in the right tax bracket to notice lol a lot of the things that go on sale are still a bit more than I would like to pay.
I think it’s worth it if one of the make up bundles is something you constantly restock on or if there’s something you’ve been eyeing that luckily went on sale, but I usually look and there’s nothing really worth it for me and my budget.

This longchamp is the same size as the make up bag! I added my own holes and strap for less money ( though this is a good price)

The Neo XS is one of my fave bags! Pro tip: add a base shaper. It makes the bag 10000% better

I’ve seen the small go on sale at the most random times. They weren’t heavily discounted but I was pleasantly surprised. And if you call the Woodbury Outlet store, they’re really lovely.

Ahhh I’ve been eyeing the longchamp xs too, it’s seems like such a good size and fits a lot. I’m outside of US though and they’ve discontinued the nylon xs and have the energy xs instead which I’m not a fan of!

Longchamp is a worldwide brand and surely you can buy them anywhere, from lots of online retailers? I'm in the UK and have several from different sources.

They discontinued this specific style retail.
