Hard to tell from the view posted but some of them look kinda interesting...love the boots.
Those fashion catwalk bags, how about those styles?

Thank you for your insights! I definitely want to try the empriente....a great plus too that it is lightweight!Thank you! I worried about the empriente leather, but it's held up very well. Then again, I don't carry it every day. So far, in 2018-2019, I've carried it 23 times, which I realize isn't much.
I haven't noticed it slouching. It's a very different design from a Speedy, though. Open top, so no zipper to keep opening and closing. (There's a zipper in the center divider, but I never use it.)
I just pulled the bag out of the closet to check, to see if it's slouching, and I realized how very thing the leather is! I guess that's what I like about this bag: it weighs next to nothing. But it probably would slouch, if it were to be overstuffed.
All in all, my best answer is… "it depends."
Did u mean the 6 key case? They do still sell this one, its just very hard to get....I totally NEED this!!! But sad they're no longer selling them? I have a ridiculous # of keys I need daily, and have found myself stuffing them into a baggie. (Ridiculous! Ugh-). So pls tell me if you find anything similar for sale these days!
Such gorgeous bags, everyone!!! I always think I'm not nuts about LV (though I like them), but then I see these and and LOVE them! Beautiful--
Not some particular prints or something, but I'm enjoying (and trying) more feminine daily office outfits. I'm trying to minimize wearing 'just' a black pair of slacks and a blouse. That's the easiest outfit to don. I want something that looks more thought out but not overly done.I’d love some real world inspiration. What current clothing trends are you ladies enjoying mixing into your looks? Which ones from past seasons are you not giving up?
For me, I’m playing a teeny bit with animal print. I’ve been around long enough that this can look real tacky real fast to me though. So, I’m using a very light hand. My favorite animal print items are a pair of grey leopard print pants and a cheetah print trench. Both are items I had so I’m not buying anything yet. I’m also looking for a cape that is more coat than super hero. Lol! I’ve always loved capes and IMO they don’t really go out of style. And I also have also loved architectural styling in my clothes so asymmetrical necklines are an easy one for me to get excited about.
Other than that, I don’t see anything particularly moving to me. What am I missing that you are excited about?
What I’m not giving up: first up is my skinny jeans with a natural waist. It took me a long time to come back to jeans and this style works for my figure. I don’t care who wears high waisted jeans or mom jeans (or bell bottoms or any other style for that matter) I’m not joining in. I also still have my one pair of sock boots from last season. They are a practical keep as they are comfy so I my toe which still needs more surgery is happy. I’ll be sad when I really do have to give these up. Lol! And lastly, I have some off the shoulder items that I won’t give up. I think with asymmetrical necklines being in, I can still mix my tops and dresses in fashionably.
What about you?
All right, @tenKrat, you inspired me ... since I was talking about Capucines, I’ll start there:
This is my MM in violet, and even when taking it out to photograph, I was struck by heavy it is when empty. You can see the slouching at the front looks better in some lights than others and is most pronounced on the side.
While I wouldn’t repurchase this if I lost all my bags tomorrow and had to start over, I can’t see myself ever owning a purple bag that’s not this one. I love the shade, I love the leather, and this bag just feels so right in this color!
Oh my, you have a wonderful LV collection!!And a few more LV:

Multicolore Speedy. I realize this bag can look very dated, but it fits my style! (I have a pair of shoes I just love wearing with it, so I couldn’t resist showing them together). The light is bad, but this bag is still super white and crisp looking.

This also works for me! I like it!Sure, this is what I mean by puff sleeves--they have a little volume, but they're not in your face. I have some bigger than this as well, but anything giant is a no.
I am the same. The only thing I would add is boots as I live up north.I am the same way. I can spend $$$ on handbags, but I can’t on one clothing item. The only exception would be a fabulous coat or leather jacket. But, I live in a warm climate year round, so no such purchase for me.
Yes!Thanks! I would like this combo in a shoulder bag. Does damier ebene always come with brown leather trim?
Prada outlet has them.Did u mean the 6 key case? They do still sell this one, its just very hard to get....
Thank you! The sequined bag has an interesting history. It was a F/W 13 special Runway bag, one of the bags shown in the MJ fashion show for that season. (Here it is, being carried by an elegant model).

That year, it sold for bunches and bunches of $$$. But a couple of years later, it popped up on TRR for just a bit over $200. A tPF buddy, who is an MJ authenticator, gave me a heads-up, and I grabbed it.
It's a pretty amazing bag. The entire thing is lined in soft leather, so it's by no means lightweight. But it's small, and it's smooshy, so the weight isn't a problem for me.
Those fashion catwalk bags, how about those styles?
The color of this one is magnificent. But I certainly understand what you're saying about the weight. How often do you carry it?All right, @tenKrat, you inspired me ... since I was talking about Capucines, I’ll start there:

That's a term I've not heard before, but I can visualize exactly what you mean. Can you give me an example of how you would wear a moody floral? Would it be a dress, or could it be a smaller piece, worn as an accent?I'm trying moody florals. I'm trying to avoid most 90s comeback styles (I'll never wear a bodysuit again, thanks), but I bought two dark floral dresses that I just love. They feel current, and I like that I have winter-appropriate florals.
This top is terrific! Fun to combine the businesslike look of pinstripes with the girly puffed sleeves and the saucy slit down the front. Excellent!Sure, this is what I mean by puff sleeves--they have a little volume, but they're not in your face. I have some bigger than this as well, but anything giant is a no.
I love your collection as well! You have some of my favorites.@Annabel Lee, we have very similar taste. I would buy these same bags.
Such gorgeous bags, everyone!!! I always think I'm not nuts about LV (though I like them), but then I see these and and LOVE them! Beautiful--
I have to admit to never having been much of an LV fan (too many Neverfulls here in Vancouver) but there are some really beautiful bags here.
What a beautiful color, and such a classic bag
Wowza! Just stunning...i have not looked too far past mono-land , but seeing your bags and @tenKrat ’s bags , makes me want to venture out....the city steamer in particular is just
Speechless And regarding the Multicolore.....dated?! I would kill for one! Black or white. But all the ones i see on the resale market have very dirty vachetta generally You are so fortunate to have one, along with all of your other beautiful bags...
Thanks, @msd_bags! I like your style a lot--what are you experimenting with for work outfits?Not some particular prints or something, but I'm enjoying (and trying) more feminine daily office outfits. I'm trying to minimize wearing 'just' a black pair of slacks and a blouse. That's the easiest outfit to don. I want something that looks more thought out but not overly done.
And I think it is still on trend here, I wear a lot of sneakers/fashion athletic shoes with casual dresses/skirts on non-work days.
An on pointy heels, I have maybe 2-3 pairs that work, surprisingly comfy! So since I feel the style adds a bit of 'zazz to outfits, I happily take advantage!
Oh my, you have a wonderful LV collection!!
I don't like structured bags showing even slight slouches. I'm a bit OCD when it comes to this.
This also works for me! I like it!
This is a gorgeous collection.
