2017 resolution - shopping my own bag and wallet collection. Any one else?

[Evia]

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

Gucci 1969 black patent and gold/lapis hw flap with quite a few flaws (it was a gift)

I'd love to see the gold interior and a closer view of the hardware on this lovely Gucci flap too. Beautiful bag

Fantastic array of blacks and all very purposeful. Really cool 'bucket' with the stripe.

What have you done with the dome-shaped bag from last year's selection? I was sad to see that one no longer with you

I just couldn't get comfortable wearing It. The saffaino strap would dig in my shoulder . Sometimes I do regret getting rid of it.

Love your outfits as well as your bags.

Thank you dcooney XXX

I agree with everyone else, your black Coaches are very handsome, Coach is not a brand I know well

Thanks Pessie! Coach has had great and not so great periods of bags, but for the past couple years they have Stuart Vevers as designer and he is cool and quirky with a little edge. I love him, he was at BV, Givenchy and LV and now Coach. [emoji173]

Kate Spade Seren Bennett Street Drawstring. I really like it because it has a light interior with slip pockets and it has a great strap drop.

It's really cute and the strap drop looks perfect!!

I think I just love round/dome bags too much. I always worry I would regret selling some of bags but on the other hand you can't keep what is actually physically uncomfortable

And Mulberry too, I think some Mulberry fans wish he'd go back there!

What unique, gorgeous bags. I go into the Gucci forum and drool over bags!

Yes, that's right! I love what he's doing for Coach and hope he stays.

Another Hermes black box leather

Oh my! I'm loving all your bags, then I saw that Gucci basket, (which I've never seen before), and almost needed oxygen!!
