It is not only the $$, it is the storage space!

How many bags do you have? That is the question...that none of us want to answer! LOL

I assume that is a rhetorical question. Ugh. Well, did you try knocking down and wall and building a closet onto your house when your husband was out, Sandy? Maybe he won't notice, lol!

^^I have already taken an entire bedroom as my closet, I don't think he would allow much more Since we lost a bedroom doing the remodel to make a larger living area his office is now in the backyard! A detached office that is.

I can only imagine LL's house! I have bags stored in every possible place! I think I need an intervention.

That is cute to have a detached office in the yard! But if he's out there in it, he might notice the new addition you would build yourself (since you don't want to spend money you could spend on pebbled luxe) when he is going back and forth!!

I do have storage issues....but I think I have some good ideas....I'm going to convert a linen closet to a purse closet!! I already have another closet in the bathroom for towels anyway. But I don't have to share a house with someone....that's great he went for the bedroom as a closet idea, I would LOVE to do that.

I tried not to take the bedroom, but I did sell my house that had 4 bedrooms with closets that were all mine!!! And then I didn't have the handbag affliction! It really is tough storing these things!

It sounds like you have a good solution! And it is so nice to not worry about what your other half thinks!! Enjoy it while you can girl

This is so funny, y'all, there are now three proposed natural pebbled glossy bespokes!! I knew this one would be hot. TL and I are not going to have much of a shot with our Be Mine dreams.

I have been going back and forth deciding what I'd love. This is what I have placed deposits for on the new leathers:

- Dark Purple Pebbled Luxe - Hug Me Medium (for delivery early August)
- Moss Green Pebbled Luxe - Enchant Me (I changed this from the Surprise Me, because since I couldn't order TOO much, I knew I could make more use of this one ... still want a Surprise Me down the road though!)

I was also very tempted by the Shark, but am going to hold off for now.

What you need is a top secret 'safe room' for your bags, complete with a secret panel behind a painting that takes you into a beautifully lit room with bags all perfectly displayed. To the unsuspecting male, it just looks like a painting, but Mona Lisa knows the truth...

I know, Euridice! There are too many options for this particular leather, it'll look great in so many different styles! I was reconsidering the Hug Me but I'm just afraid I won't like it since I didn't like the medium the first time. But I could extend the straps too. But the Be Mine Mini isn't that bad of a price so I may just stay with it and go it alone! I'm still a little torn over cream or natural though. And now I am really wanting clementine but I'm making myself wait for a group on that one.

My list now is:
1) natural be mine mini (tempted by cream though especially if it doesn't go forward as a group)
2) clementine hold me (only if it goes forward as a group)

Then I'm at my allotment of 10 bags and must stop or sell some off! Horrors!

I'm right there with you, TM. I just reevaluated everything in my closet and while I love the shark, I do have enough in the grey family. I have plum crash and wine, which are "purply" I guess but nothing in a true purple.... I'd love to try the regular size though..

This will be stunning.....just stunning. Slightly more interesting than black and gorgeously stylish.

Are you sure you don't want the large size?? It drapes beautifully and just has that "look", kwim??

I love how the large looks but I'm afraid it might be a bit too much bag for everyday. I usually use my midi bags for every day, but you've given me some food for thought!
