We were talking about this on another thread and it deserves its very own thread. (I suppose this could have gone to the big general thread but ... these are my people here!
IF YOU COULD ONLY HAVE FOUR (pairs of shoes, pieces of jewelry, handbags of course, clothing designers, desserts, .. etc etc.) which ones would they be? Tell us your pared-down must-have HANDBAGS, or another four things that come to mind.

If I could only have FOUR HANDBAGS, they would be:

Ebano Large Veneta
Chanel Black Caviar Zip-top
Noce Pyramid
Nero No-Name Tote

I'm sorry... you posed *the unthinkable*

Four handbags?

CaliforniaGal · Jul 2nd, 2009, 01:02 AM

discipline .. control .... oh it's just a theory! haha give it a try!

doloresmia · Jul 2nd, 2009, 01:19 AM

i assume the list can include things we don't actually have?

BV ferro new pyramid
H barenia toile birkin 35
H etoupe birkin 35
ottone cabat or sloane

and yes, i have more than 4 bags, but trying to get close to california gal's proposed limit

CaliforniaGal · Jul 2nd, 2009, 01:21 AM

Sure, it's sort of a mental exercise!

LV-PRADAfanatic · Jul 2nd, 2009, 05:40 AM

i only have 2 so far.... so that easy for me...

IFFAH · Jul 2nd, 2009, 08:40 AM

4 handbags meaning they all have to be BV?

spendalot · Jul 2nd, 2009, 09:33 AM

wow...if I could answer this question, there wouldn't be bags sitting in my wardrobe and my bank account wouldn't be running on empty.:blink:

But let me try....hmm....

1. Ottone cabat
2. Nero large Capri
3. Baltic Large Veneta
4. Noce or Tea New Pyramid (which I do not have!!!)

WHAT?

This question just made me realise I need another bag!

jburgh · Jul 2nd, 2009, 10:07 AM

It might change week to week...

BV Peltro Cabat
BV Ebano Montaigne
BV Clutch, maybe the Sunset in Nero
Choo Jungle Python Mahala

CaliforniaGal - A mental exercise? In frustration, hehe!!!

kroquet · Jul 2nd, 2009, 10:21 AM

Actually, I could be ok with the 4 bags, as long as I can keep one extra for evenings out.

Ottone Sloane,, which I already have
Ebano Old Ball, which I have
Elephant Cervo Hobo
here's the hard one, either a large Matita specchio Veneta or medium Cabat

Plus, my little copper ossidato circle bag

I would be a happy woman!!!

LT bag lady · Jul 2nd, 2009, 11:41 AM

Bags
Lambertson Truex framed clutch (have it in Croc)
Ebano Bella Tote - got it

Green TODS G-bag - got it

I need 5, I need a black bag

Shoes

Glad to see a Choo in there, lol. Love that Peltro Cabat! I am too fickle...mine changes every week!

minismurf04 · Jul 2nd, 2009, 01:58 PM

I don't think I can live with just 4..but here's to trying..

1. Ottone sloane
2. Baltic Lg Veneta
3. Ferro (pyramid, sloane)..but would be great in a lg veneta as well
4. Nero Lg Capri

BookerMoose · Jul 2nd, 2009, 04:59 PM

Geez, this is hard. Four is SUCH a small number but here goes - and I'll pretend it never rains in Vancouver so I don't have to include any rainy day alternatives:

1. Nero Montaigne (just because)
2. Leopard Print Montaigne (because it is still my HG even a year later)
3. Mela Montaigne (because sometimes I need to brighten things up and I think this does it the best, although Carmino, Oceano and Burnt Orange would also fit the bill depending on my mood and what I am wearing on any particular day)
4. Nero Bella Tote (because much as I love my Montaignes, sometimes I really do need a bag that easily goes on my shoulder)
