My grey/taupe/nude-s
nothing fancy, i don't use them much, but whatever i have is here:
left to right
Prada soft calf with funky plactic chain handles, lovely bag, but not an every day work horse, sees the day light a few times a year
BV Large Veneta in Poussin, is used regularly enough
a'la Python cow skin print tote, made in Italy, still brand new, one of my few mistakes made in the begining of journey, she is a nice bag, but just didn't work for me, waiting for a right moment to be either gifted or sold.
flat round pig skin bag, which is dear to me and will remain in my collection forever :heart: my DH gifted it to me for our 3rd anny, he chose it all by himself....
above it another Italian no-brand hobo-like bag (with a ribbon), it was my work horse for quite some time, and it's quite handy, but i just had enough of it. So, she is still in the collection, but most probably will be either gifted, or used as a beater bag.
then comes MK, cow leather, snake print, small hobo, one of my few very first "high end designer" acquisitions... i don't use it any longer, i got many a lot better working for me hobos, no idea why i still keep it... it is in 'like new' condition, and i should probably sell it...
my first ever BV - Sloane in Aurora, gets enough use in a year but i am babying it :smile: she is my first one :smile:

I think I know why you don't use these bags as much as your others---because you love color. You have the best collection of rainbow BV hobos.

I like reading the snippets you include about each bag. (And others', too, like @Sparkletastic, @Mimmy, @papertiger, @bakeacookie, and sorry if I missed you.) Makes for a more fun read and helps me to see better the qualities of a bag that caught the owner's eye. I should try to do that, too, when I can. It's the best I can do right now just to post pics of my bags every week!

My greys
2016:
• Chanel medium pearly grey lamb classic flap
• Metallic grey surfed lamb Jimmy Choo Large Biker BagView attachment 3669867
2017
Kept the two above and added
• Chanel charcoal grey lamb single classic flap jumbo with Bijoux chain

The Jimmy Choo really changes color in different light.

Now that you mention Celine, yeah... I see your point now. I never think of the it before. And now I understand why I don't really understand the rave about it. I never understand the rave about the Trio as well. Stuff will budge out and it holds so little. It also remind me of pouches that's sold at flea market, but of course, the Celine version is much sleeker and offer a neat vibe. Still, it looks like envelopes sewn together to me. At least, the MM version has width in the bottom and can hold stuff. [emoji848]

Yeah.... I don't like bags that's flat. I don't like people to see what I put in my bag or to guess what's in there from the budging out. I now understand why. [emoji4]
Thank you so much! [emoji4]

Who thought figuring out handbags could be so complicated sometimes?! Now you know why you couldn't get why everyone else likes the Penelope messenger so much.

I had a similar revelation. I couldn't get why everyone else likes the Selene so much either (forgive us, ladies, for talking shop with the Massaccesi speak). After many months, it dawned on me why. I just don't like tote bags as my main handbag. I realized it one day when I pulled out what I call a "regular handbag" in leather and then packed a NYLON "tote bag" to schlep my other stuff around.

I hope you will like it!! Can I let you in on a secret too? I just ordered from Colette last night - a dark blue Verona Angelica! An Easter celebration. :smile:

Ohhh!! I'll keep it a secret, too, over on the Massaccesi thread. Your first Angelica? I think you will like her. I have just one. Trying to be good and be satisfied with the one I have.
