We highlight 3 brands per week: 2 premier and 1 contemporary in alphabetical order as listed on tPF. Any brands not listed are showcased in our last week. Brands change to the next set each Sunday.

Our first brand week starts now - Sunday, Oct 31. Please share photos of bags from these brands:

Tip: Grab your photos from last year in the 2020 resolution thread. Search your user name and the brand to find your photos.

2. Special Stories
Thanks @Claudia Herzog for the suggestion

Wear a bag that has a backstory involving a person, place, or opportunity for which you feel grateful.

Fun conversation on Alma vs. Bolide. I‘ll pop in for a quick hello and dash off (long day combined with my youngest DS having to quarantine due to being a close contact with someone at school who is a confirmed positive for Covid). His Covid test is booked and my vaccine is scheduled for next week.

Here’s a picture of my Bleu Nuit Vernis Alma PM and Etain Bolide 31 in Clemence, bonus bag Coco Handle as well. I rehomed the Alma.
I wore both to work and casually on the weekend. The Bolide has a shoulder strap. Almas were not sold with a strap when I got mine. The Bolide handles don’t fold down, the Alma handles fold down.

Hope it helps! Stay safe and stay healthy!

DHL offer perfect service here. I'm very happy with Hermes, too. I think it depends a lot in the actual drivers who deliver to your house. DPD used to work great until the driver changed.

I have been very lucky with all the drivers that deliver here. That is why I could not understand how they behave there.

and a screen shot from a few days ago, as the stock is shifting pretty fast - then the other options were all bicolored, looks like today it's RougeH/RougeH and gold/gold...

Waaaaant... but can not justify. And I suspect this will sell well and it will be around for a while. Uh, I hope.

Thank you so much. I WANT ALL OF THESE!!! LOL. Verso is even better! Can't wait till they come to the US.

The pink jacket and skirt is dead stock pucci. I bought it on eBay years ago, perhaps 2010 or 2012? I was thinner then, but it was still too small, but with an ankle length skirt, so plenty of fabric). It ended up waiting in the closet until covid when I discovered that my local dry cleaner and tailor (I wanted to use local business — by local I mean within a few blocks of my home) trained as pattern cutters and between them, they took the two pieces apart and managed to create a new waistband, vertical detail and match up the floral panels so you cannot tell the alteration.

Your tailors did a great job! I adore your Pucci!

Why oh why did I have to see this???
A Calvi with a coin pouch is the Hermes gods looking into my head...
And in chevre too...
AND in Rouge H...
What can a girl do?
Plus there are those new H lip things waiting in the shopping basket...
And, it is my birtday in a few days...
What can I say? I got it.

Oh, congratulations! I hope it makes your birthday even more special!

(and now I hope they restock soon! )

They are going fast. It looks like a winner, and I hope you're able to get your hands on one soon!

If anyone loves that raspberry leather of my new bag that's on its way to me, there is now a bucket in it but that was all of it she has. I think she can get more though for a custom.

After seeing this bucket bag, I realized that it’s not just that raspberry color, it was the color in the style you got..everything about it made it so special! I can’t wait until you get it to show us. Everyday, I a hold myself back from contacting her...!!

Had some fun painting on a leather journal the last few days.

I love that Bolide! I know that it’s Etain but this photo gives it a more blue gray taupe look...I love it ! Does it look like this in real life?

I have been really looking at my bags. Some I was keeping because my daughter thought they were nicer than my most often used bags. I have now decided I am only going to go by what I really use or adore. This month of trying not to buy has had me really focused on what I already have and what I really use. So to that end I dropped another bag at the consignment shop, along with some jewelry and clothes.

Those are great criteria.

I took some the other day because it can be worn in so many different ways! Even as a belt bag
