2 black bags, vintage bolide 37 (now 26 years old and still my favourite bag) and an aforementioned pandora :smile: couldn't resist throwing in gratuitous extra pic of squishy goat leather :lol: since we were talking about it
Looking forward to seeing all of yours!

That vintage bolide!! It's amazing!

Yeeey!!! 3 bags out!! :happydance:
they will go to their new loving homes, one new and 2 used, nothing fancy but all leather. Just didn't use/like them any more

Great job!


I love black and I own more bags in black than any other color. I took these in 2 separate pictures because it was easier to keep both cats off the bed, they're snoopy! I forgot a few, two Coach shoulder bags and a Mackage tote. So far, I'm not doing this too good I guess?!

Do you have the coach borough bag? I can't quite tell. If you do, it's one of the Coach bags I wish I got.
But you have a great assortment of Coach!

This years blacks not including my pouches.

Great assortment of blacks!

I love the Burberry with the bear!! And the H box leather bag.
 
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 black patent 'Moonlight' box clutch (top right) inside is gold leather

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

Gorgeous bags, papertiger! You really have a one of a kind collection and a signature style!
 
I am actually using my new black bag!

This is the bag I found Friday! The local Chanel didn't have it, so I was surprised they had it still. When the SA showed it to me, I was so excited! Even DBF was all "buy it!"

I adore Chanel airlines, so I get a little giddy when I find pieces of it. They also had the o case with the plane, and the airmail envelope clutch, but this is more useful to me since I've wanted the Gucci soho/camera bag.

It's just a round camera bag. I've already worn it to the maritime museum, I'll take it on the aircraft carrier we'll tour today.

I almost bought the big Herbag yesterday, but I was good. They also had several Jige clutch thingies but I really do not need another clutch thingy in my life. I barely use the Gucci one.

I also found that H wallets are too narrow for my needs and I was super sad because I had found one of my mon monogram colors in the wallet I was eyeing. :( they're sooo gorgeous in colors. I should've bought the coin purse as a jewelry case in retrospect. They barely had silks! No twillies or the super H 70cm I've been looking for.

Found the crossbody Longchamp bags in Lagoon, but omg it's too big.

I'm tempted by the maroon colored Sac Du Jour from YSL. Anyone have this to chime in if it's worth the price tag?

I was eyeing up sooo many bags this weekend! Haha.

Wondering if I can carry less to make it work. [emoji848]

So that was my biggest purchase, along with a Chanel book I found at Off Fifth.

It's funny, we're traveling for DBF's bday and all he got was a new watch and from Omega and a boat load of Fortnum and Mason teas from Williams Sonoma.
 
@bake....it is a borough. There is a Rogue in there too. I know I didn't get very good pictures.

I did see the rouge!
Is the rouge heavier than the borough? I like the tea rose rogue but know I can't use it since it's heavy.

I should've gotten a borough. A black one would've been so versatile! I like yours.

I think @Mimmy has one? There's another borough in this group and I always think "should've gotten one" every time I see it.
 
IMG_2204.JPG My nest of black bags going clockwise from the Furla tote:
Furla Rainy day tote
Cole Haan Indestructible beater
LV Most Serious of bags
MbyMJ Light and carefree
Ferragamo Fancy shmancy
Coach Toaster Roomy crossbody
Hermes Trim ll Best black hobo ever

All are in regular rotation. I work hard not to go for more blacks because I'm really satisfied with this group.

That Chanel is amazing!

The Rogue is heavier, hardware is heavier, lined with suede...yep, heavier.
