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.

So lovely that someone was made so H-appy. I also like you kept your well-loved Speedy, there's always a good reason for having a classic Speedy/Boston

Great edited collection
 
Hi, I'm late to the party so I'll just jump in. [emoji4]

My April stat
Bag: in 1, out 0
SLG: in 1, out 0

I got one new-to-me Massaccesi Minerva Midi delivered last week. I want to try the style, but not sure if I'll love it, so when I found one that I know I could use in the BST group, I jumped. It arrived nicely and timely. The color is a bit much for me IRL, but I think I could pull it off especially it's summer here. But even as I try it on, I find the strap drop too low for my liking. I'll test drive it this week to see if it's a go or not. Something in me told me I might not like it as much. I mean I may feel so so about it. But I want to know if my feeling is because if the color or the style. (This will be hard for me to separate them.)

My mom gave me an orange leather pouch with 3 different colored-zippers which I now changes in and will use it as a wallet. The color is a bit bright and kinda clashes with each other badly. [emoji28] (Not exactly my taste, but it's a gift from mom so ... [emoji4])
 
And here're my Browns. I'm just back from a trip so I'm just too tired to take new photo. [emoji20] I found my first "silver strand of hair" this morning! Arg! As much as I don't think I worry about it that much, I start to heavily feel like my current stress level and bad, unhealthy lifestyle are taking a toll on me. I got myself a personal trainer last year, but haven't seen him since February. And I really need to get healthier. The guy is actually good, but I just feel like I don't have time to go to the gym. [emoji20]

Anyway, here're my Browns.

I don't have a shot of Massaccesi Dark Taupe Aura I got last year. It's a very nice bag. I'll post it later here when I'm not too tired. [emoji20]

I keep this whole lot like last year.

I sold a chocolate Men's Day

And I still love this bag as much as the first time I saw it. [emoji4]
