That’s interesting. I can’t say I think of sleeping mats, but when you say “woven bag” my mind immediately goes to straw. So for me, woven implies less expensive materials. Maybe that’s why BV’s intrecciato leather didn’t appeal to me for so long. I don’t think it was a conscious association — of course, expensive materials like leather or even gold can be woven. But when I think about it, I think that was the connection in my mind.
Is it bad that I can't change out of this bag?! We're casual wear in the office for days leading to Christmas.
Up so many times during the night. Relentless coughs really suck. My 4 year old had it too and thus needed to be in my arms for much of it which made my shoulder go numb..... argh, crappy night.
Anyone tried the wet frozen socks under wool socks after hot soak method of getting rid of a cough? I tried it and it worked years ago, the last time I had such an annoying cough ruining sleep. I may do it again now.

Sorry to jump in, but I still owe you some pics! Turned out to be difficult, photographing this dark blue coat, especially showing the silver side buckles. This is the Boss Cielina coat and I am wearing both kinds of bag hardware with it. Have to try it with my dark red / soft pink / purple bags! Here shown with Longchamp and Mulberry, Burberry in the background. My other new coat (Strenesse) still has to be worn for the first time...
Hope you and sick kids get well soon!! No experience on the socks method.
I love seeing coats and I wish we at least have some cold weather here even for light ones. But no such thing!! Love your outfits!
In case anyone is curious about the wet sock treatment
Cold Sock Congestion Treatment
The Cold Sock Treatment is a simple hydrotherapy technique that is especially effective for relieving nasal congestion in bed at night (frequently better than medications and without the side effects). It also helps to stimulate the immune system in the upper respiratory tract and is relaxing for aches and chills, and helps bring on a more restful night’s sleep when sick. We find it helpful in such conditions as colds, "flu" (not the "stomach flu"), earaches, sore throats, and sinus infections. It is useful with people of any age from infants to the elderly. The Cold Sock Treatment is especially good to use with the nasal congestion of colds and influenza.
Preparations. In the evening before going to bed, prepare by having a pair of cotton socks and a pair of wool socks. They must be at least 90% cotton and 90% wool, respectively. Most sporting goods stores and some department stores carry wool socks. For small children you can use safety-pins to hold a wool sock on that is too large, or rap wool cloth around each foot.
Step 1. Soak the foot part of the cotton socks in cold tap water and wring them out thoroughly. Place the socks close to the basin or bathtub used in the next step. Note: If your feet are already warm (e.g., you have already been in bed) you can skip to Step 3.
Step 2. Put your feet into a basin or bathtub of hot water to warm up your feet. Soak them for a few minutes until they are hot and pink.
Step 3. Remove your feet from the hot water and quickly dry them off. Immediately put on the cold wet cotton socks, and then over them, put on the dry wool socks.
Step 4. Go directly to bed and keep the feet covered through the night. The therapy does not work if you or your feet are uncovered, such as when walking around or sitting in a chair uncovered.
When the Cold Sock Treatment procedure is followed correctly the feet will start warming up within a few minutes of getting covered in bed. The congestion will usually start to be relieved within 30 minutes. It will often work better than a decongestant or antihistamine to relieve congestion during sleep. In addition, it is not uncommon to see a small child or infant fall immediately to sleep after they are put to bed with the Cold Sock Treatment. After approximately four hours the socks should be totally dry, the feet warm, and the symptoms will be much improved (if not gone).

Sorry to totally take this sock thing so far when most of you probably dont care but my 4 year old cannot stop coughing and its really disrupting her sleep and of course I can’t give her heavy duty cough medicine, it’s pretty strong drugs, so.... I just did frozen socks on both of us after a 15 minute hot soak, with woolies on top and we are headed for a nap.
Wish us luck!
