@papertiger as always ur pieces blow my mind. Even more so because I'm a big Gucci fan and I love all your pieces from them. Your exotics are just amazing in material and style - how do you care for them?
@Sparkletastic a carefree bag for me used to be something inexpensive I would pick up (in my very early bag collecting days), then they were bags that got demoted, so to speak, like my Miu Miu hobo- still love them but not suitable for dressing up, now that I'm more mindful of why I'm buying bags I choose nylon and coated canvas. For me, there is no beating those materials for carefree and then I don't have to compromise on style and they're still suitable to be dressed up, say if I'm going on vacation and don't want to pack a lot.
@Pessie @ksuromax @kemi wow, lovely beautiful browns. I'm a sucker for a beautiful brown leather bag. @ksuromax that Weekender is tdf
@eeiv it sounds like the bags u bought have specific purpose in your life so that's probably better than sticking to a resolution with the wrong bags. That's how I was eventually successfully with my goal because I had to go through the process of finding what works for me to curb the buying. Good point though about probably being able to use what we have for a 'need' item and if we needed it shouldn't we have needed it all this time - when that comes into my mind I now take a look to see if something I already own or maybe am using for that purpose is the most ideal piece for my need and if not, I'm ok to find a better option but then I let go of what wasn't working (unless it serves another purpose). I've learned that the idea of perfect changes all the time and that's ok!
@coolmelondew beautiful! Another amazing mulberry on here.
@dcooney4 these are all great bags. The gray furla and Tods are my favourite but the furla seems to look lighter and can mould to the body a bit better (I find larger totes get in my way sometimes when I have to reach for things, if they can't mould to my body)
@ms p it will happen!
it can be a long process. I don't think I managed to stabilize my collection until my lifestyle changed and I didn't need so many x y z bags for x y z things I used to do. It's different for everyone though.
@Hobbsy beautiful! The one that popped out was the toaster! I didn't know it came in that gorgeous shade.

this one is around 10 years old, and I use it everyday as my dog walking bag.
