Went to tj maxx and they did have an IT suitcase in the size I liked but the inside had no pockets and didn’t have the built in tsa lock. So I stuck with the one I already have. I will check again next week. They always get new stuff in.

None of my smaller ones have pockets inside or outside, but the big one has a few pockets inside. They’re pretty basic, but lightweight and they roll well.

I am looking for the medium check in size. I will look again. Thanks for the tip.

Great to See I'm not alone on the combat boot front

Let's see if I can find some footwear and bag shoes

As you can see I don't match bags and shoes apart from very occasionally.

Honestly, I never knew I had so many Gucci shoes

Mui Mui snakeskin silver platforms with Gucci grey Bamboo TH
Gucci grey Wimbledons with Gucci red suede bowler with horse-bit leather trim
Gucci fur-lined clogs Hermes Bambou GP
Gucci Dionysus boots with Chanel Tassel
Gucci scarlet Betty heels with Gucci satin/crystal 1973 & Malachite python1973 G-detail
Gucci ostrich Gideon lace-ups with Gucci suede Lady Web
Gucci Wimbledons with Gucci Oasis Clutch
Balenciaga blue suede platform boots with Gucci blue suede Babushka (much closer in colour than the pic suggests)

Thank you!

Long time--no post. I have been swamped and barely keeping my head above water. I have scanned the posts each day and kept up, but didn't have the energy to even hit the like button. Have emotionally shared the ups and downs that have been shared and feel for those posting.

But in my daily keep-up looking, I realized I have a picture on my phone of an outfit from 2019 that fit the theme. This is my Valentino rockstud. It is small but holds enough for a date. It is my favorite color. I love the length of the strap because it is long enough to fit over my shoulder. The leather does not feel like my Hermes bags, but it was a super bargain from Fashionphile, so the price was a fraction of Hermes. Nine West shoes, Ex Libris en Kimonos shawl, Hublot watch, Hermes silver cuff with a croc pattern.

Take care all. I don't expect to post again until things settle down.

I can relate @Cordeliere and am sending you well wishes!

I’m just getting back into reading through my favorite threads and posting again after a little hiatus. Life has been hectic as I’ve moved and am managing a difficult custody battle and divorce. “But still, like air, I’ll rise…”

Best of luck to @Cordeliere and @JVSXOXO in navigating through your tough times.

@Cordeliere and @JVSXOXO wishing both calmer roads ahead.

Bought the bag a month or so ago but have not worn it yet as the thin straps don’t work for all day. I swiped this Crossbody strap from a different bag do you think it could work? Then for evening put one or both of the chain straps back on and remove the Crossbody one.
