If DE is your fave print, then I say get that (plus we can be twins!
). One added plus for the DE is the dark brown interior... it doesn't show marks from coins.Ok, shutting up now...
Cupcake- seeing your lovely longchamp and the fact that JennyErin sent me her snow
Yay for LC! BOO for the snow!!!
Nice to see so many new gals joining this year! Love reading everyone's goal for the 2015!
starbunny- Love your collection, very well edited!
clevercat- Gorgeous bal and Chanel wallet! Is the bal color papyrus? Oh, beautiful Chanel flap
Whew... I'm tired now.
Thank you! Yes, it's Papyrus. I still can't believe I forgot I had it - it was one of those HGs that I thought I'd never get my hands on. But so typical of me - HG or not, once a bag is mine I am moving on to the next one. Something I am aiming to stop by being part of this thread
So nice to "see" you!
Seriously, LC is THE workhorse of the bag world! Can't wait to see your Sarah Morris one... please post pics after you get it!
Nice to see you too
Will definitely post pics of the Sarah Morris-it will hopefully be here this week!

Egg- We would be triplets ,but also shutting up now!
This morning I went to Tj Maxx to pick up another pair of yoga pants , and saw a Dooney & Bourke small barrel pouch in nylon. It was so cute and the strap actually went on my shoulder with my ski jacket on. I took a deep breath and put it back. It was so affordable and cute and great for quick runs to the market. I make no promises if it is still there the next time I go in. It would even work for holding some of my drawing supplies.
True to my resolutions for this year I have been thinking about my Prada Saffiano tote a lot and as much as I love it I just don't use it and wish I'd bought a larger zipped model now. So I took the bag to a consignment shop today and it's with them now, hopefully it will get a good offer. I will disappointed if not. Anyway...to fill the gaps that I have I have bought myself one of the bags I said I would; a Longchamp Le Pliage in Amethyst. It was on sale at a jewellery store which also sells Mont Blanc and Smythson...it was actually cheaper than the sale price currently on the Longchamp website Have already used today, the picture is taken with some parcels in that I took to the post office. Have also been wardrobe purging

2 out of 4 packages have already been returned. I love the BV bag and the black boots, the black shoes are still to be delivered.
I also had a thorough look into my closet and put 12 articles up for auction on ebay. I hope they will sell well, but my first priority is to get the things out of my house.

Can't wait to see your goodies.
I keep them in their dustbags/ boxes. I've seen a transparent display cabinet in IKEA - I'd really like to store my bags in something (safe and away from nosy cats) that I can admire them in, if that makes sense. I've always thought of them, Chanel in particular, as portable works of art and it would be nice to show them off as such
I know what you mean about the glass display. If I could fit a tall, narrow curio cabinet in my closet, I would display my bags in there so I could see them outside their dust bags. I might even reach for them more. Lol...
I know you have been wanting the mon mono since last year so that would make a lot of sense and if you get something else that strikes your fancy, you will probably still want the mon mono later. Do you have woc-like bag already? Having said that, chanel stock is unpredictable. You may or may not find what you want in the color, style or skin so it can be a hit or miss (at least in the states). That may also dictate your decision. For me, I will always choose Chanel hands down. Good luck, Bake. Go with your heart.
I store my SLGs in a box standing too. So much easier to see them.
I am hopelessly behind in reading this thread
Loved seeing all Chanels, the read ones are so gorgeous!
Le Pliages are great bags and I loved to see so many of these! I am taking my one out too, it is raining here.
Dooney, great job on not buying!
Belated congratulations to new mom and grandmother-to-be too!!!
Have a nice Saturday!

Bake - good idea to look for a brooch or something small instead if you must buy Chanel. I couldn't remember the Aspinal name but that's what came to mind when you mentioned the WOC. I know not the same but almost the same size. Perhaps the WOC could be your next trip's purchase and keep to the idea of the Mon Mono since that was on your list for forever. I think it will mean more to you than the WOC because the WOC is almost an afterthought to your Evelyne. I hate all the price increases. Boo!
Cupcake - thank you! I'm so happy with her and have been using her since. We are all chatty Cathie's here aren't we!!. Love the LP. Love to see how they are housed!
Ebby - I just LOVE this color.
Ladies you are all killing me with the Longchamps! I don't think I'll get through another year not getting one. They look like great bags. Jenny - I like the idea of it being a workout bag too. Maybe it will be my reward after my next half marathon at the end of March. I need to seriously train, so not a trail runner.
Still in my Stam but will be moving into something else tmw to celebrate my LO's first birthday. It will be the bag my DH got after she was born. Can't today since I'd clash. reminds me I need to take a mod shot of the Stam out and about.
Thanks everyone for your replies on how you store your bags. After searches and searches I saw so many closets with the bags out of their dust bags and all I can think of the poor dust sitting on some of them.
