Lovely outfit and wonderful first premiere designer bag. My first premiere designer was a LV canvas bag, too (Batignolles Horizontal) and then I discovered tpf!
Great top 5 joy sparking bags!

I’m pruning my collection again. Today I realized that I have bought too many brown Massaccesi bags in the last two years when I finally took a group pic of all of them. Yikes. So, I’m going to sell several of them. I managed to list two bags today and already sold one. 
Yes, especially for the price point ($300-$400) and for the ability to choose your leather, hardware, lining, and any other extra options, e.g., changing handles or adding pockets. The craftsmanship is excellent.
Also, they have sales every two or three months it seems, so many fans acquire their bags during those times.
I must confess that I am further compelled to sell some bags because BV is currently having its semi-annual sale. I bought a Bottega Veneta bag that I have been eyeing, and it’s in a color that I didn’t think would go on sale yet because it’s fairly new. I will post it when it arrives.
One bag in, one bag out.
One bag in, one bag out.
I am trying to do the one in in out with bags and slgs too. Way to go on sales and I cannot wait to see the new bag.I must confess that I am further compelled to sell some bags because BV is currently having its semi-annual sale.

In two weeks I will have made 2 months since my last handbag purchase!
OMG! I can never keep up! [emoji13][emoji13][emoji13] you girls move this thread so fast and I only have so little time these days. I saw MSD post about the top 5 bags and I’m curious about the criteria you all set, but I couldn’t find where it is. Then, here come another 10 or so pages to go though. You all are so active these days. [emoji38][emoji38][emoji38]
I finally done with my obsessive packing. It seems like the shorter the trip, the more nervous I am about packing and getting ready.
Anyway, there’ll be a couple days filled with meetings before the flight takes off.
I wonder what my top 5 bags are. It changes over time. I use to be a crossbody girl, but since my shoulders hurt badly, I’m now a tote girl. Even my trustee companion bags for traveling has changed. I now love my Travel More backpack that I backed on Kickstarter a year ago. Light weight, waterproof, and lockable. Couple with WOC, I feel worry free and not overwhelm and too heavy on my shoulders. (I really want to love and prefer my thief-prof Arden B, but the chain is just too substantial = so heavy)
For day-to-day, I now like my monogram tote, MM’s Selene, Selene Midi, and Angelica. Maybe one day, if I’m not too chicken out, I’ll try that full-size Thia. The fact that my shoulders aren’t good as it used to prevent me from going back and enjoying crossbody bags as much as I used to.
Funny that this year, I don’t really have eyes for high end designer bags at all. The Dionysus caught my eyes. Some LV caught y eyes. I love LC Mademoiselle and Coach rogue, but at the end, MM and some other Indy brands rule. [emoji4]

There is a real dearth of quality leather bags at the below $500 price point these days. There used to be a whole bunch of them but I think the recession and rising costs took most of them out. The department stores are a wasteland of poorly made bags. Coach still has nice bags of course, but the current designs don’t appeal to me so much.
Not many of Coach’s stuff is under $500. At least not the ones everyone is all about.
I guess since they’re made less than $500 Massacessi can be an addiction.
I think this is very true. A lot of the brands that used to fill this need have gone away or have had noticeable drops in quality. RM, Botkier, etc. I go back and forth on Coach - some seasons I love and other seasons I don't.
The Coach bags are if you can wait 6 months or a year for them to go on sale. And if you can live without the 1941 line.
