Great bag, fabulous color, and your shoes are terrific! Is that a tiny bit of fur across the top? Are they Gucci?

I need to dig out some of my beaded bags (some go back to the 1920s)

Meanwhile here are some of my more embellished bags I already have pictures of:

Gucci Leather Hearts Joy Boston (upper-left) and Gucci suede studded Babushka Boston (lower-right)

These are wonderful photos. I love the way you've paired bags with shoes. And the patchwork vintage bag (last photo) is amazing! You just don't get that sort of workmanship any more.

Sorry for being absent. I'm just very busy and the time just flew by. It's Thursday night here now. I hope it's not too late to join. [emoji4]

I don't have many embellished pieces and all are retired pieces. I keep them for sentimental reason or well, I know they will probably worth nothing if I want to sell or just become a meaningless piece if I were to give them away, so I just keep them.

First of all, this bag is a gift from my mom. I wore it some time when I got it and I actually like its look and the embroidery. I just don't know why I haven't reached to it for years. I guess I just have too many bags, but I still like it.

I got this one as a souvenir from a short trip with my company. I think it's a fun piece and it's cheap. Never use it really. But I like the color on it.

Guess who I found? Yeah... I've been thinking about selling this bag for some time, but just couldn't find it. I couldn't found it for the red week, but find it for this week. It's cute and I looked everywhere just to find it and have one. I know it's just so so small, but I hope one day it might work? Am I crazy for keep holding on?

And this is the clutch I meant to find to photograph for this week which led me to find the Prada. I got this for some wedding years ago, but ended up using something else. So, it remains unworn. It's not really my usual piece, but I have a knack of getting crazy stuff sometimes. It's beaded and embroider like this on both sides. I like it enough, but I just don't wear this kind of stuff. I don't think I got it that expensive though. Probably some cheap find I found at the Indian craft market.

And since it's beady week. ;)

Thank you so much. I see Dolce and Gabbana trying to emulate - but of course we have to pay thousands upon thousands for such work now

OMG, def use that cute Prada, totally on-trend (not that I care but great to be in with the 'in' sometimes)

and what a cute beaded/embroidered beauty. Doesn't matter where it comes from or who made it, it's totally cute and stylish.

These are all so much fun. My dd was going to throw out the little black beaded bag but I told her that's crazy and now I am holding it till I find the right person to give it to. Just hold on to them they don't take up much space.

Eek! Just barely talked myself out of buying a bag. :shocked: It was nothing I needed or had thought of buying. It's not even one of. E colors I typically love. Madness! :facepalm:Luckily, the thought of having to share my "crime" here helped me stay strong.

I have GOT to stay off of my favorite bag buying haunts when I'm trying to be good.

I wish i had this power of resistance...
could not pass up this one... 30% of the store tag and pretty descent condition, and i know it's going to be a work horse... :blush:

Lovely! Congrats on a great bargain :biggrin: Is it black or dark blue?

Black... but she has that odd hint of 'something else' in it... i thought she was faded, but no, probably just the nature of tanning gives this undertone
thank you :ty:
leather is so well broken in, soft and smooth, and i know i'll get a lot of use of it, so...

Great bags. I really like the first one.

I vote sell the Prada. Only because you say it's too small. I can find a way to love a pretty bag. I can't find a way to love an inconvenient one.

I think our situations were completely different. You got a great work horse on sale that is totally "you" and that you'll love. :tup: That's a great opportunity buy.

I was thinking about getting a purple lambskin Chanel flap. I don't even like purple that much. I don't need one more lambskin bag. I don't need one more flap bag. So this would have been a ridiculous, wasteful sure-to-be-a-regret buy. :tdown:
