Love it! Congrats!I am actually using my new black bag!
View attachment 3661990
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.
Thank you so much everyone for your lovely affirmative comments on my Blacks. Cheers 
Fabulous shot!!!!!I am actually using my new black bag!

You have such a fascinating bag collection, papertiger! And I love seeing them paired with your scarves.More:
Apart from one these were all inherited
Gucci canvas/leather half-moon hobo (leather lined). Worn every Summer first by my mother and then by me sine 1988!!! I had the strap re-sewn last year and so will prob last another 30 years.
Another Hermes black box leather
Gucci lizard 'padlock' (another big bag at 30 across and tall). I swapped this with my mother (she got my Chanel GST)
I also have a Gucci Horse-bit convertible clutch 2003 which was one of my first designer bags actually bought by me
Gone but not forgotten 1970s crocodile shoulder bag (sold). Can't keep 'em all!
I have more black bags too but I'll have to find the pics somewhere. When tPF switched formats I lost many photographs
That's such a cute bag, bake! I'm having trouble telling the shape... is it round???I am actually using my new black bag!

Which size Sac du Jour were you thinking of? I had the original "small" size in burgundy (which was actually pretty big, LOL), lined with suede, and I sold it because it weighed a ton. I believe they replaced it with an unlined one... or else it's lined with fabric... so it isn't so heavy. But they still kept the really high price tag, which didn't seem right to me, considering the initial super-high price included the suede lining.
Haven't tried the unlined one to compare weights, but I'd still wonder if it's a very heavy bag. Just something to think about. Other than weight, it's a stunning bag!

It is round! Lol it fits so much stuff, but not too much.
I have no idea what size. They only had one size on display in Nordstrom. I'd have to find one on discount because it's found at the rack and TJ Maxx runway sometimes.
I didn't try it on, I just looked at the layout inside and the different colors.

Ok. I think I need a Mulberry in my life lol.
The Chanel! And the BV! All stunning in black.
Hello! I am joining in for black bag week! This is a good exercise for me because it is time for me to let go of my less used bags and seeing them all at once will help me decide which ones to pare from my collection.
My first picture is a Valentino Rockstud, a Coach Rogue with python trim, a Chloe Faye and A DVF mini bag.
The second picture is a Reissue w/gh, A Coach smooth leather Borough, an LV Speedy B 25 in epi leather, a so black Reissue and the love it or hate it Gabrielle! I have heard her called "fugly" in this thread but I think she is the hipper, edgier little sister of my reissues! It's love for me lol.
