I am curious about these two resolutions. What kind of bags had leather/suede lining and were not leather/suede.
From the how do you BV thread, I remember that you carry many things in your bag. Are you saying you have enough big bags or are you downsizing to medium? Or are you saying you don't need any more bags except the summer one?
On linings: I just meant that I will try not to buy any leather or suede bags that are lined with anything other than suede or leather lining. No cotton, nylon, linen etc. (The exception being a Summer basket/beach bag - which is the only kinda bag I actually need
) When we are paying top whack for a bag we should not accept anything less than 'perfection' this year and forever, these designers (including H and C) are getting cheeky and lining their bags with whatever to maximise their mark-up. I can understand some bags are so big that designers need to lighten them but I don't mean travel size. When looking I have been shocked at the cost of some bags considering the materials and general standard of workmanship (that's why I end up back at
Gucci). Discovering that Celine have lined their new tumbled leather mini luggage (non-smooth leather versions) NOT in suede but micro-fibre nonsense has put me right off (prob a good thing LOL) Chanel are getting lazy and now H have swapped toile instead of chèvre inside a bag I was planning on someday. I say no, nein, non to declining standards
If I do succumb to temptation and buy a non-Summer bag it better not be big because I don't have any space left for storage. Downsizing, What's that? Now
that should be my New Year's resolution and not just bags
Actually thinking about a Summer bag, I don't even really need one of those as I have a fabulous Gucci black woven leather/suede/bamboo bag and a beige canvas and croc Trussardi but I would like something floral or a pretty colour and slightly frivolous. I almost bought a vintage Gucci Flora tote from a posh pre-loved boutique this year but upon inspection I saw unacceptable marks I couldn't live with
Basically, like many here I have enough bags I am very happy with and am now being extra picky
