I have just purchased a bracelet by making 'best offer' and i am sending my Buyer's vibes towards you!
What is the thing with "not wearing"???

Thanks for the good buyer vibe juju!

Last year we were talking about how there are some bags that - despite our best intentions - we just don't wear often enough in our closets. So we decided to pick either Wednesday's or Saturday's to wear those "never worn" bags. For some people it was easier to rotate in during the work week (Wed). Others it was easier to rotate in on the weekend (Sat).

It was a fun way to maximize usage in our closets without the "pressure" of month long challenges.

I know it was great for me because it caused me to prune a number of bags. I either didn't want to ever wear them or when I did I had to admit they just weren't working.

Vink - do you have a list of your bags? Maybe it would be good to keep a list on your phone and always note where you put a bag after you use it. That way you won't have to look for them in both residences. You'll know exactly where you put them. :smile:

I have a rough list of bags in my mobile, but not the place where I put it. I normally keep most of my bags at the house. Just a portion at the condo and I usually just go with what I have in the closet. Yeah.... maybe I should do that, but I'm too lazy. [emoji38]

I can't find my Red shot from last year. I guess I missed that week coz I was traveling and forgot to follow up. (I'm pretty sure I took it, but after a while, I just couldn't find it.) That could also be the reason I don't have it saved on my mobile.

Reading through that old thread is like going through the diary and I miss many of the old pocket friends that are no longer here. I hope they're happy and healthy out there in the real world.

Anyway, here're my Reds for this year. Only missing that one Prada mini bag. One good thing, I found my old Coach Hampton Demi pouch, which I'm sure wasn't in the shot from last year. (Yeah... turn out, I misplace my stuff way too often. [emoji28])

And this is the missing Prada. The shot is from last year's "mini bag" week. I'm sure if we're doing this again this year, you'll see that this category of mine sure grows tremendously. [emoji4]

Love your reds. The Prada is so much fun. I love those darker reds as they are my favorites to wear.

I don't remember if it was you or not but do you have a corner cupboard that the bag could be in? Last year some one found more bags in a low cupboard they forgot about.

No offense taken, lol.

I wouldn't consider it a wet weather bag due to the vachetta straps and trim. The bag is very nice for its age. You scored a great preloved bag.

When I bought my first all-leather LV bag, I thought I would never get canvas again. Obviously, I was wrong. DH gave me the Retiro with red leather trim as a birthday gift, and I love it. LV canvas is truly the best canvas in the premier range, IMO.

I recently bought a new piece of LV luggage, the Keepall 45. It is beautiful, durable, supple canvas. I foresee it lasting for many years and being passed on to one of two of my children. (My DH's Keepall will go to the other child.)

LV started out producing luggage for royalty and the elite class, so it is really the canvas master in the business. I'm willing to pay the money for LV canvas because I appreciate its history and its quality.

Hi tenkrat,

I want to get a LV travel piece but can't decide what's the best size for travel. Do you find that the 45 is large enough for packing yet small enough to fit in overhead. The airlines can be so funny and I definitely don't want to check a LV piece
