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]

Vink,

I love this oxblood Chanel. They made the best colors from 2006-2010 hands down. Do you carry this often?

I donno if you do the same, but sometimes when i travel i pack a smaller bag into a bigger bag to a) save the space and b) help the bigger one to keep the shape and not get too squeezed, do you think you could have put one into another???

I do that, too. [emoji4] But I don't think that's what happen with this bag coz there were times I try to make it work or just get more chance to wear it, so I take it with me back and forth from the house to the condo and vice versa, hoping that I'll get to wear it on weekends. That never happen. I think with that much effort, I finally got to wear it on a weekend trip once. And since I found out that it just barely hold anything, I might have stash it somewhere while deciding what to do with it. [emoji848] (You maybe surprised with this kind of rambling, I still forget where I keep it. [emoji848] I'm surprised, too. [emoji28])

I love the never wear concept.
I'm late to the scarf party. I have worn this maybe twice in the seven years I've had it, my only designer scarf :

Thanks for making me think of it. I found it crumpled in the back of a closet needing love.

How do I wear this???

Plenty of different threads on the H forum including the 'scarf of the day'.

Still on scarves, what determines the resale value? I see scarves from same seller in excellent condition but priced differently even if the same size and same material. Are there more popular ones than others so that they fetch higher price?

Thanks to everybody who likes the red bags. I'm quite enjoying myself seeing the display of all the different reds as well. :)

The Mulberry love now makes me want to bring out my SBS. Haven't use the oxblood in a while.

Quick, go and stroke yours if you have not done so! I don't really stroke, but I have a tendency to sniff my bags because some of them have really nice leather smells. :sweatdrop:

For Hermes, some artists are more popular, also colorways and designs. So I think there are a lot of different factors.

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

Hi Missie,

The Keepall 45 is the perfect size for packing for a weekend, tops, or as a carry-on. It fits fine in an overhead compartment.

The LV website says that the next size up, the 50, is cabin size. But, personally, I think it's that borderline size where if you're competing with other passengers for overhead space, it will be a tight fit.

I suggest you go to a store and try the 45 and 50 on. My SA said that most women prefer the 45. Some women prefer the 50 because they like to pack more and have the option of more space if they need it.

It depends on how you pack. 50 is the biggest I would go because I'm petite and 5'4". BTW, I have the bandouliere version because I need the shoulder strap.

You must read the H forum HG scarf thread. Some scarves in certain cws people can't even mention any more because it sends the prices sky rocketing even further. Still I think it's best to follow your heart and get exactly the one you crave. But yes some way over retail.

Still wearing my green ostrich Pickett Jenny and changing scarves. Heart in mouth tonight when I thought I'd lost my H scarf, happily I found it again after embarrassing myself for hours.

Thanks for the info ladies! I'm scared to peek at the other H scarves forum, I'm already subscribed to the Spring 2017 thread. [emoji4]
