I'm starting this thread in response to flipchick's suggestion

As there are at least 5 of us already let's start a Bamboo Top-Handle club

You may belong to the BTH club if you have a large, med, small, new, old or vintage bamboo top handle, any related extended family member (bamboo handle) ior even if you just like the bag :biggrin:

Any info or photos related to the bag would be greatly appreciated :flowers:

I will start with my treasured new darling

Gorgeous bag papertiger...

Checked one out at the Gucci store and for some reason I just loved the mirror. Normally it would not be a big deal but it was so heavy and lovely..

Such gorgeous bamboo top-handle bags, ladies!! You're all making want to forget about the beige flap bag and get a top-handle bag instead :P I'm going to have to definitely check out the top-handle bags the next time that I visit my local Gucci boutique.


GhstDreamer, I had no idea that one could fit so many things in the large sized top handle bag :nuts: I really do hope that you're able to have your initials put onto your bag.
 
:love:

Oh my word, my eyes are on stalks, seeing some of the bags together I can see why this bag has been giong strong for 63 years.

GhstDreamer and PattyP thank you for your pictures, both your bags are out-of -this-world beautiful.

I am taking my Stone darling to be monogrammed today and I will let you all know how I get on :biggrin:
