Kisses to @tenKrat who is the loveliest kama’aina + TPF friend in the world and finally succumbed to all my Jedi mind tricks to get her to send this purse back overseas so I could wear it with my dark brown boots with dark gunmetal hardware on the corset details there on the sides, and be all matchy matchy ridiculous. I’m in seventh heaven now. Thank you!!!!!
Showing my style with my new-to-me MM aura in dark chocolate merinos and dark gunmetal hardware, my first in this style and I really love how it is small but holds my ipad + essentials. My favorite DVF green python print wrap shirt and diesel skinzee jeans with my fave tod’s boots and beloved thrift store find Erich Fend terra cotta wool coat. My mom made the gorgeous emerald colorway wool scarf keeping me so cozy up around my neck and décolleté.


I really like the color, hardware and design of this bag, especially worn with orange to shows off its deep chocolatey brown. Yummy bag.
 
Yes, I’m the one who tried on the Celine. It was heavier than I expected! And bigger. I love the look but it sort of overwhelmed me.

I may be twins or cousins with you on the Evelyne — I have the GM in Etoupe.
Awesome, mine is a PM in Etoupe!

Love every bag in this photo!
Thank you :love: I have rehomed the LV Trevi and the LV Suhali Lockit, great bags however they overlapped with other bags in my collection and I released these ones to be loved by someone else.

For days when I need a lighter colour large capacity bag I use my Louis Vuitton Mahina L in Poudre. It’s in the middle front row. It’s a smooshy bag both from the leather and the style of bag, it fits comfortably on the shoulder and has a zipped pocket.

Thanks! They said you can carry on the shoulders on their website but the handles look short. I prefer shoulder carry on my bags.

I have two Garden Parties and shoulder carry is an issue. The handles have a 6-inch drop, so you can carry it on your shoulder, but if you have thick shoulders, are wearing a heavy coat, or the bag is full, it’s not comfortable. The rolled handles aren’t comfortable (in contrast to, say, Longchamp’s handles, which are slightly flattened and therefore much comfier). I used to have three GPs and recently sold one. I’m thinking of selling another and going down to one, but haven’t decided yet because the two colors I have cover all seasons perfectly. Still, it’s a bag I don’t reach for as much as I used to, and the comfort factor is the main reason why.
 
I am receiving a bag for Christmas that is heavier then I usually wear . I really like the look of the bag and it has comfy handles but I have serious shoulder issues. I am not sure what to do. I had weighed it really fast when dh purchased it but I think my weight thing is broken because I was told by a friend it weighs more then the 1.8 I thought it did.
 
Yay I can upload again!

Bag for the holiday weekend. I wanted to change to my Herbag again but this will do much better for my adventures. Today was museums and a bit of shopping (I bought shoes to replace a pair I’m retiring).

The card cases LV gifted me, stamped with the Chinese zodiac year I got them.

Updated bear group!
That bear "family photo" is just adorable, bake.
Do you use them as bag charms, or do they get to stay home and play checkers & nibble on ginger snaps?
 
Thanks Bake! They look beautiful. Nice idea of stamping Chinese zodiacs from them to bring more uniqueness.

You've a lovely collection of bears. It seems they are out phasing the classics and replaced them with stapped version. Good you managed to catch so many "sane" bears. :smile:

I noticed they’re getting crazier!
There’s like one left, the bear with the coat and scarf I’d like to get, but it doesn’t capture me like the 6 I have now. Maybe if it goes on sale.

I wonder where Burberry is heading towards. Nothing seems so classic anymore. Lol

I'm somewhat glad I pulled the trigger on the Mulberry bag I have been wanting for some time. If not, I would have bought something from the sales (which will be filler(s)) and then delay purchase of the bag I really want and then eventually buy it. I have so many other expenses this period so I should manage funds really well.

I just said in the Ban Island thread that I might head there. We'll see.

Great job!

I noticed lots of us have moved from filler bags to just getting the one we want. That’s amazing progress because we don’t waste time, effort, and money with something that doesn’t make us completely happy.

Can you go try it again? Make sure the gift will work out? Weight is a really big issue for you, so if it’s too heavy it’s not a bag you should keep even if it’s a gift.

I actually do use them as bag charms! They’ll come into play next year, once I lower the cpw on the new ones I’ve gotten. [emoji4]

They’re so cute. They can’t stay at home all year. They have to accompany me on Handbag deployment at least one week a year [emoji23]

I know your right considering I finally went to the dr again for it and I have to ice it twice a day and take anti inflammatory meds for it. I love the look of it though .
