Gasp! You do have a few great totes in there. Wonderful bags.
Thanks Hobbsy. You have a varied and beautiful collection of browns. I love your large Toaster. I have such a thing for that shape and love the brick color.
This thread moves so fast that, like life according to Ferris Bueller, you might miss it! While I catch up, here are my browns. I was oversaturated with browns at the beginning of the year and have now turned my Fauve Kelly into a black Birkin, and my gold Birkin has gone to a new owner who adores it beyond words (she was literally crying when she opened the box, she even posted it on YouTube - this brought me to tears...so happy my first B is now someone else's lifelong dream!)
I am now comfortable with my browns, even though only two of these get regularly carried - I don't really wear camels/tans much and never wear brown, so these are for wear with jeans and cream colors. In other words...DONE
From top clockwise
My very first designer bag, LV Speedy 25. I paid 320 euros for it (I think) many many years ago in Paris. I had saved and saved. As you can see I loved this bag HARD
I will never let it go.
LV Monogram Blocks pochette (it's mostly brown!) - only including this for honesty's sake. It should probably go.
Barenia Birkin 35 in Fauve, PHW. I really don't like these twillies on this particular bag but I haven't found ones I can stand and I'm trying to protect the handles - I use a lot of creams and oils.
Kelly 28 from 1952 (!!!) in Noisette box calf GHW. I almost sold this but it's such a piece of history....it seemed a shame.
Kelly 28 from 2015 in Gold Togo PHW.

I am enjoying seeing everyone's brown and tan bags! I did not have time yet to take a pic of mine.
I did take a quick pic to illustrate my April stats, though.
1 bag in, 0 out.
1 slg in, 0 out.
Just for fun, my Caterina Bertina, small straw bag. It's made in Italy and has a leather strap. I added some pompoms handmade in Peru by an Etsy artisan. I like that the leather handle allows me to hand carry it, or carry it in the crook of my arm. It is fully lined in fabric that has a drawstring on top. I posted this for completeness as an "in" for this month, but honestly do not plan to include this in my bag count. [emoji3]
GiGi NY compact wallet in azure. I usually don't like to buy "place holders", but this is one. I still plan to buy another designer, compact wallet, but have yet to find the right one. I actually really like the layout of this one.

Love the Ferragamo!
Thank you!
Great set of browns!

All great classic [emoji173]️

Thank you! I am just trying to find one in a solid color and without very obvious branding.
