Lulu, I like your category names. They are melodic and just trip of the tonque wonderfully. Charms...tassels... & fobs...

Seriously, I like the functional categories you have here with the 3 types of "incidental" cases in one thread and anything dangly in its own thread. If we did one accessory thread, those who love wallets or cases - but have no luv for charms and tassels - would have to wade through piles of Clyde tassels to find the pass case they had in mind. And, vice versa, of course. So, I do think accessories needs to be broken down a bit.

We need a cuff love thread ASAP....so I made one for Swanky to move to the library.

[lulu3955]

got a couple more started...

What should we do about small wallets.. we have a thread for clutch wallets but not small ones....

I'm almost done with all my photos of bags then on to wallets & little goodies. Then I can cheer everyone else on!!

WE WANT PHOTOS!!!

[RealMcCoy]

So, do you all think we should do the 2005 bags also. I know there aren't many owners of those bags and they may not generate much contribution. I do have the HH detail pages and stock photos for the Olga Duffel (and I think some of our HHH own this bag), the Malia City Bag, Karanina, Mischa, and Mosa Linen Hobo. If not enough to warrant a thread for each of these, maybe one "2005 Debut Season" thread?

[Sybaryte]

I wouldn't start a thread that will only host stock photos.

[Swanky Mama Of Three]

I think a 2005 thread could be okay if there's pics of the bags.

How about just a small leather goods or accessories thread?
You don't want 150 threads w/ 3 pics in each.
If a bigger umbrella title will work for a lot of stuff that's the way to go.

If only stock photos are available, I would suggest adding as a post to the lookbook thread.

Should we start a OOAK thread since some of us have samples or have bought things in HH's auctions that are not being produced such as the Fall '09 shoe samples? But what happens if and when something is not in the lookbook and all of a sudden gets put into production? That's what happened with the Michell scarf I bought...and I have no idea what are being sold as OOAKs may be produced later on.....ie...the Mint Lorca..the Mint Newman..?

For example, as far as OOAK..my KP Corcovado is a different color and has a different lining than the ones produced. I also have OOAK cuffs and bags..and I know others do as well. IMHO it would be a museum of originals. I would love to have a record of these things. Swanky..should I start a thread?

[sallyca]

I'd love to see a museum of originals or OOAK's. It would also help if any of them ever came up for auction or on a sale site. Then we would know it is HH.

i posted some pics today (been meaning to do it for a while) in the reference library and was wondering if i could make a suggestion, and see what others think of it.

once you click on the reference library, is it possible from there to separate all of the threads we have in there to COLOR and STYLE? 3 pages of reference threads is a LOT.. especially when the order they are in is just chronological - it's not necessarily helpful when you're just trying to find one specific thread. i did not cross list all of the items due to the sheer time it took me just to get one item up in one thread. finding an appropriate thread took longer than it should have, i think.

^ita.

I would like to see a OOAK thread. So many HHH get to go to physical sample sales and snag the ones that didn't go into production. Just because they are not readily available doesn't mean I would enjoy seeing them any less. I must have a self-torture streak in me somewhere. I like seeing those that didn't make the cut and "disagreeing" with the descision, .

Thanks for adding pics! ITA it does look a mess in there. Maybe a couple should be stickied? or something. Color reference toward the top?

I also would love to see a One & Few of a Kinds Thread... I've got 2 bags that I have yet to post that would be in that category.
