Just this morning, I was trying to see if I could add a scarf to my outfit. I tried a style I recently discovered. But as I was in a rush, I think I did not roll right and the result was something bulky and unflattering around my neck. I quickly removed it and just put on a necklace. :biggrin: I don't have long neck so I have to careful also with using scarves.

What a beautiful collection!! I like the Trevi though I don't have one. What was it that you didn't like/made you rehome it?

Just want to share this. Yesterday, I showed some co-workers the bag insert in my tote. It was not to brag or something, but to share the idea that an open tote can be made secure by using this and it can be done beautifully (at least IMO). Then of course they asked the price. So I told them ($68). And then they turned away! I guess my realization is, what are reasonable amounts for me are already too much for some around me. I think some here don't even buy bags that are near the price of the insert!

That's mean and rude, imo
you didn't force anyone, you just shared
and turning away and acting like that only demonstrates lack of good manners, being polite doesn't hurt...
:sad: shame really
we are here for you :hugs: :flowers:

Actually I didn't take offense as their movement was an exaggeration of a point. I would say it was kind of playful. But thanks for understanding and being here. Hugs!

Thanks for your kind words msd_bags. That is an excellent question. The Trevi is a lovely bag. First, I don't wear much tan or brown, colour wise - it is not the best fit with my wardrobe. Second, I have other bags that overlap in size, colour and purpose. While I like the bag I would rather move her on to someone who will love her. As I mentioned in a previous post, the Trevi is great for rainy days. It has a shoulder strap in addition to handles for hand, shoulder or crook of arm carry. The pleats are a pretty detail to the structured shape. Some people don't like the small zippered opening, others complain the bag is heavy and also I've seen some point out the shoulder strap is not long enough for cross body wear. It was a lovely bag I was happy to have in my collection and after using her for 6 days straight to refresh my memory of my pros and cons, I chose to rehome her - she's got a lot more life in her!

I can understand ahem I don't tell my colleagues the price of my bag & accessories [emoji51]. Your colleagues they don't have to buy the exact piece. There are other purse organizer that zip too. I'll love to be your co worker and share the love of bags. Thank goodness for tpf.

I saw somebody carrying it before with the shoulder strap and I thought it was a great length! Anyway, I salute you for being able to let her go. I'm guilty of keeping some bags that are very rarely used. But I'm working on that. :smile:
