Hello everyone -

I've photographed some of my modest collection to share. As many of you know, visiting this site is bad for the wallet but I learned so much and saved so much from reading the various threads on this site. I've grown to respect quality as opposed to trends and I understand why some brands have remained in existence over the years and in some cases centuries.

Well, here goes...

Prada! Posing with my Vit Daino is the always lovely Peggy. I have to give a shout out to Miu2 for this purchase. She alerted us when these bags went on sale and I've been hooked on Miu Miu ever since. The Peggy is in alluminio.

I never understood the obsession with Balenciaga until I purchased this little lady. Bal bags come in such beautiful colors that I couldn't resist but because of the cost, I thought it best to try out a little coin purse first. I purchased this one off of E-bay from Fashionphile.

Thanks Lady Moe!!! Your kids are darling!

Here's my Kooba Brynne. I've heard so much about vintage Koobas that I just had to have this one. I would have preferred a darker color but I hope it darkens as it ages.
