May I add to the list the Maria La Rosa Game and mini Game? A bit pricey but absolutely stunning. I couldn’t decide on which color! Obsessed with the color matched chain straps. I found a shop in the US selling them because I was afraid of Italian import duties but highly recommend browsing her e-commerce site, https://www.marialarosa.it/en/collections/shop-must-have
I've been avoiding the pouch, but after reading your concise post with the selection of beautiful pouches, I'm fired up to go buy at least one. Thank you!
Thank you so much, Becky! I’m a relatively new subscriber (via Brent Neale 🍄) and have loved reading your Sunday morning musings. I have never owned a pouch in my life and you convinced me to take the plunge tonight and get TWO of the ones that you shared. Not to mention, I was doing the Lord’s work for you and spent over an hour searching for Sofia’s Neo L19 Pouch Bag! I found it in a variety of colors but, alas, white was not to be found. But back to what I DID FIND and BUY...the cute APC gold pouch and am hoping that the zipper is better than what Forky had with the one at the APC store. I also bought my first Pasticcino! I was all set to grab the pink sequined one but then the new Fuschia raffia Pasticcino caught my eye. I cannot wait to see how I feel without something on my shoulder! Thank you again!
I ordered the black APC too! Fingers crossed on that zipper. And so glad you are here!! Can't wait to hear how much you love the freedom of the little pouch.
Oooh, I LOVE the Pasticcino! And this topic. My favourite in my own collection is the "sissy" bag from Clare V. I have it in strawberry snake skin like here:
I LOVE that Clare V. Style. Its coming out in a very cool graffiti print for fall but it wasn't out in time to include in this roundup, and she didn't have any in that shiny snake material for spring. Great eye!
I just bought a sequined Pasticcino -- who knew that's what my Sunday morning would involve! Whoo!
And I apparently have been wanting a wee little pouch-like thing recently, because I went into an APC store after that gold bag caught my eye from the street. I likely would have walked out with it if the zipper hadn't been so sticky and irritating. Nothing frustrates me more than a bad zipper (I once took scissors to a nylon bag when the zipper got stuck because I realized I was never using it again after that, so...).
Love pouches of all kinds! I have way too many. Not sure if you've ever seen the Aloha pouches in person but they are almost papery yet totally waterproof. I wouldn't say they could be used as a clutch because they are very thin and have no structure whatsoever. I have some from when they did a collab w Samudra and they are GREAT for travel or for a wet swimsuit or for sunscreen, but not for the use mentioned above. I would say maybe an old Celine bi-color pouch or an Anya Hindmarch pouch would be a better option in this case. Just my two cents!
I hear you! I am kind of into that papery material. Do you ever get that feeling when you are wearing all your best stuff that you are just too too? Maybe will help take me down a notch when I'm too overzealous in my outfits. ha! But maybe....just for the plane to beach. :)
I’ve been using cheap see through bags to hold all the things in my tote, and just realized I could be carrying something cute, that would spark joy. Headed over to the Real Real now.
Thank you! One of the ones you share here was just perfect for me. And just the other day my closet turned up nothing fresh and fun in this category. It had been 10 years since a purchase.
Love all this! I just did a similar edit for wedding guest dressing....got my eye on a sequin Dries Van Norten pouch now!
I want the Attersee pouch, so pretty!

I bought the yellow & white pasticcino bag! So excited for this new edition to my handbag collection!

I've never carried a pouch in my life. I ordered one today. Loved this whimsical, great topic for a Sunday Fun Day!

You are on fire today Becky! Those Pasticcino's are irresistible!

Bummer about that zipper! I ordered it in black. :) Will let you know if mine is any different. And ENJOY your pasticcino. Its the most fun

I will definitely keep this in mind when buying pouches. Thank you!

Let us know what you find!
Pouches are my weakness!

Which one!?
LOVE makeup counter pouches!
