I have two black bags, and both are small. I prefer to carry other colored bags, but when I must carry a black one, I have two choices.

1. Bottega Veneta shoulder bag in Tourmaline
(Sometimes a BV bag doesn't even have a name! It puzzles me that BV doesn't give every bag a proper name, as if they couldn't be bothered. Names are so important. I feel every one of my bags must have a name.)

2. Massaccesi Zhoe in black vachetta

Here are my blacks :Chanel Jumbo SF and Givenchy Madonna Clutch
Love your bags and your cuff is amazing!

I think they match very well. [emoji6] Plus, I like your scarf! [emoji16]
@msd_bags +1, your Alma is stunning and your scarf is chic!
A few more (vintage) black.

I still have all these even though I have sold quite a few vintage bags in the past 3 years, including exotics. These are some of my favourites, and quality right up there, even among the Guccis and the Hermes.

(To the rear) 1950s Bellstone lizard with pale pink interior; (front left) 1950s top-handle baby croc with matching purse and mirror and (front right); Mappin and Webb Turtle convertible clutch from the early 1970s.

Gorgeous vintage exotics!
 
I love all the black bags! I will photo later.
Nursing and posting right now.
Spark I am green with envy because you get to move if you like. I am currently serving a twenty year sentence of my expat status, due to the misstep of dropping babies abroad and divorcing their dad, and my ex is not about to let me take his sons with me if I moved. I have six years left, 14 under my belt and the idea of having some choice in the city I live in, the continent, the country, the hemisphere.....well I think I would be weepy drunk with the power of that feeling after all these years. I'm definitely anchored and it kind of feels like prison, even as I sit in my dream house on a lake in a beautiful residential neighborhood with a kind and loving husband who looks like Hugh Jackman that I am crazy about , and I can continue to rattle off all my blessings until I'm blue in the face but it just doesn't erase that I miss my family and friends and home country and am not wild about the country I'm in and especially hate this city. My ex's home town. Shudder. Spew Spew hiss hate.

Sorry to derail the conversation!
Congratulations on your persistence and resilience. Best wishes to you in creating the life you want to live.

My black bags.

Little Prada drawstring that I use as an evening bag, Michael MK clutch and Loeffler Randall bucket bag.
Seagull photo bomber gets her own photo. I think she likes bags too! [emoji23]

I am enjoying photographing my bags. It involves some amount of setting up; makes me think twice about adding more. [emoji6]
Pretty bags, always loving your backdrop! I think the MJ hobo is my favourite!

Question to ksuromax and other BV specialists: yesterday, we went outlet shopping (yay!) and, apart from Tommy Hilfiger ballet flats, I bought my first BV leather bracelet in mallow. Do you remove the little metallic tag which is fastened by a thread?

Wonderful blacks! I think I have so many too because I like to have gold and silver hardware in all sizes.

Lol you make me blush :blush:
it is a size tag, and normally, it has to go, same as any other tag, but because it's metallic and it doesn't get in the way, it's up to you, it might come off with regular wear just because it's not fixed firmly.
Can't wait to see your goodie! :flowers:
