After manager promotion, huge milestone for me since I struggled to find time to pass my cpa with two kiddos, I wanted to treat myself to my first luxury work bag. After a bit of search, fell in love with the Celine Large 16 Bag in Satinated Calfskin. Went to go see it in person and noticed the shoulder bag is so short. Anyone else use this bag for work? If so, how do you like it? I was told we don’t have the option to purchase a longer strap 😭. Any other bag suggestions?

Congratulations on the promotion!!🎉 that’s a gorgeous bag but agrees I think you wouldn’t be able to wear it on your shoulder - just the crook of your arm

I recently got the Celine mini belt bag - it has a similar handle but comes with a longer strap. You might also like the fendi peekaboo medium or LV capucinnes bag

Thank you VP1! Am excited to finally reach this milestone. I looked over the Celine bag with longer strap but am concerned that my laptop won’t fit.

Also, thank you all for the recommendations. I’ll look into those bags!!

I have the Celine cabas. Less “structured”, so can be used running errands / more versatile. But still very professional looking, especially if you get a bag divider

I’m confused. You tried on the detachable shoulder strap and it was too short? I have the Celine 16 in small and i can wear it crossbody with that strap. Also why wouldn’t you be able to buy a different strap?

It’s not the small one it’s the large one. Shoulder strap is shorter. And I’m not sure, I asked and was told it wasn’t option.

I posted this somewhere else before I remembered that I am in this bowl :) so, I changed jobs 6-7 months ago and I am realizing it is not a good fit.

My question is how do you answer the “why are you looking to leave” question without bad mouthing your current company?

Interested in everyone’s opinions on replica luxury.

What’s your argument for or against replicas?
