Beautiful black collection, vink! I like that you have great premier bags, and fun bags too.

Love this photo, and your witty narrative, Sparkle!

Wow, both of these are stunners, Pessie!

You're doing perfectly, Hobbsy! I love your Borough; I have one in vermillion. I really think that Coach should have kept this style!
Thanks Mimmy, and I agree on the Borough!

It's Sunday here so I'll just kick off the Black Week. [emoji4]

Last year.

I've added quite a few, I think. Although, I'm pretty much sure I already own a couple before last year, [emoji848] but that's not a problem. [emoji4]

And this year.

The house lot.

I'm normally not a fan of black bags. I love my bags in colors. But I went crazy for the last couple of years buying myself some black bags. [emoji4] I think I'm settled now. I think this is the most refined color collection among the array of colors that I own. Maybe because I'm not big on black. The one that makes me buy has to be a really good one.

Missing from the photo are the new Arden Cove anti-thief cross body bag and the no-name black leather bag with the red rose on it. I still have them, but I think in the rush of the moment, I just forgot to put them in.

I'm actually thinking about replacing the chain strap on the Arden Cove. It's nice and very substantial, but it's too heavy. And the bag is very stiff. I'm thinking of ways to make it soften up. But that's because I prefer softer bags. [emoji28] I love the concept and function of it, but it feels very stiff all over which isn't what I like in my bags.

Fabulous!
 
Do any of you seem to go through phases with what you like to wear? For about a month I was heavily rotating my Chanel jumbo flaps.

Now, I'm favoring my hand / arm carry satchels. Being a little roomier they are a little easier to wear. Yesterday I paired my it-won't-sell-so-I-admit-defeat-and-will-keep-it python Celine with a black dress and boots. I went to two grown up events and then to my aunt's house where I have spent far too much time playing with my little cousins since I moved here. As a result, it seems that Batman has developed a growing suspicion about what I'm carrying in my handbags. :lol:View attachment 3661743

I think he just wants to wear it, good thinking Batman, that bag is chic!

One of my favourite bag colours is black. There have been long periods when I can't bear to carry anything else (although there are also months I cannot bear a black bag anywhere near me). Some of my favourite looks are all black outfits but with lots of different textures.

Starting with patents, they take a lot of polish(ing) but they give even an all-black outfit a little polish and punch too
