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 :cloud9:

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 :p 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.
Wonderful bags! I love that your Speedy is so loved.
 
I woke up to more than 80 posts!

DC - I missed shopping with you, but there will be next time. Looks wise I would have voted for the first Furla, although personally I don't like saffiano. The Tod's was too N/S for me. You have many browns and they are lovely!

Hobbsy - your Coach bags are pretty! I was wondering what that one beside the Burberry was, turned out to be Coach.

Westvillage - beautiful collection!

QF - wow, an H from the 1950s!! And it doesn't show its age!!

Sparkle - may be best to just buy a quick one for your trip, but of course something that you still like.
 
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.
They look so pretty!

I am trying really hard to be good and limit what comes in now, especially with bags and SLGs.

But what the heck?!
Coach has a NASA thing coming out? Ahhh.
Plus more Disney stuff?

And the Dino is still around? My goodness it's hard to not want everything adorable right now.

I don't even dare look at what Kate Spade is coming out with.

[emoji85] being good is hard.

I agree! I was looking at a preview from Kate Spade and it looks very colorful. I saw a phone cover that looks like a cactus. It was really cute and I stopped looking. Lol.
