I would consider other colors just nothing to light in color.

Love the LC Roseaus! I've always wanted one of those too.
July Count:
Bags In: 4 (though one has not shipped or been charged yet, so I debated whether this is more appropriate for the August count. Oh well, in my mind I bought in July). One was for my birthday using some birthday money: a small red bag as I have been missing having a vibrant red bag in my collection. The other was something I had been trying to talk mysef out of buying for a while but ultimately I had a weak moment, and it will replace a couple other bags. One was a Longchamp LP shopping tote I scored for 40% off - my first LCand the last one the Vince Camuto leather tote I got on clearance for $55 CAD!
Bags Out: None. But 2 are going to bag purgatory as soon as I get home from vacation so might show up in August!
With this last purchase, I think I really am done-done with collecting any more bags for a while, except for maybe another Longchamp Le Pliage - I would like a "small tote" version. Aside from that, I *may* even be able to hold out for two years until a milestone birthday even though I have an idea what bag I want "next". Not sure I can hold out for two years, but it could be a test for myself too...if I still want that bag in two years, then I must truly want it!
My goal is to keep my bags under 20. I am at 19 including my Longchamp Le Pliage and the two going to purgatory. I find I don't like being so close to 20 so I will feel good when I drop down a couple!
Amending my number for July to 3 in as I have sent the little red bag back (it was waiting for me at my office when I went back to work today, and I went to the post office at lunch to return it!). I did not really hold onto it long enough to count it as an in AND out; it shall be the bag that never existed in my collection. It was cute and a great colour, but did not spark joy.
Here is a photo of it anyway next to my Chalk Rogue 25 (which does spark joy).

I appreciate that you took a photo anyway. All the photos showing bags in real settings (and what is realer than an office) are so interesting. Sounds like you weren't too disappointed by the miss. Cheers for that!
Hi there again, before I post my Longchamp bags, I just want to say that I have enjoyed seeing all the site specific LCs… Statue of Liberty, Big Ben, Eiffel Tower, and the birdie. I never really "got" the charm before and now I think they're just adorable!
My LC bags in leather; the gray LeFoulonne tote on the left is the most used bag among all my bags.

Here are my three LCs in nylon. I use these on bad weather days and I always take one as my carry-on. The black on top has been with me for 10 years and has been all over the world. I'm placing her in retirement because her corners just look too messy. Maybe one day I'll have her repaired. The middle one is bilberry.
Your red cuir is gorgeous!! Great assortment of Longchamp!
Thanks so much. That red one wins my Dec.-Feb favorite …it looks so good with my 2 black puffer coats plus the crossbody strap allows it to fit and slouch over the puffiest of them and it does the holidays ... Valentines Day too! ... really well.Thanks!
Oh, that's a great observation. I should really learn about leathers to understand my bags. Thanks!
Love the Heritage Roseau! I wanted one before but it never went on sale at the price level I wanted. Nice bag!
Thanks westvillage for your appreciation of my collection. You have a wonderful one too and I totally want your Foulonne grey. But I don't think it is still available so I will have to stalk second hand markets if I do decide to get one (trying to be good here!).
I think the Sakura line is really gorgeous!! But when I saw and touched the one like yours in the boutique, I was scared about dirtying it. Looked so fragile because of the material and color! But really looks great!!
it looks awesome!!
wow, that's a great deal on your VC tote! And I'm amazed at the number in your collection - I hope one day when I'm done curating mine, i'll get to 20 also. But that may be many years down the road haha.July Count:

LOVE THISI'm carrying my Fendi By The Way bag. Carried it last week, and I love it so much I'm not going to switch.

i've only got Gucci to contribute =)
I'm not really getting obsessed or attracted to every bag I see, like I used to. I think it's 'cuz I've gotten to a point where I have so many, that there really is no reason for me to keep getting them. I have, however, identified two bags that I will likely get next year, assuming I really do scale back in numbers. They will be staple, every day bags and ideally should replace a lot of the bags I currently use for work and also to throw around. Bags of choice are the Speedy 35 b, and I will probably add a preloved 40 or a keepall for travel to replace my Bleeker, which I love, but is kinda heavy. Other than those, no major plans to keep adding.
Gorgeous! Love the colors you own for this bag. Enjoy it!And so, I got another Miss Dior Sliding chain!!
This one in bright yellow lambskin with soft gold hardware!

I love these bags because they are super functional. They are really roomy without looking too big when I wear them. And the sliding chain let's me wear it crossbody or shoulder. I love these bags!! But now I gotta stop. No more MD SC's! LOL!
This is so pretty!!
the Chalk is beautiful =)Amending my number for July to 3 in as I have sent the little red bag back (it was waiting for me at my office when I went back to work today, and I went to the post office at lunch to return it!).

I don't have Goyard or LC, but here are some of my Gucci - Gucci is my first and most loved premier brand =) Sorry these are older photos and kind of all over the place. I took them from my blog or else I won't have time to take pictures. I'm missing my black patent Boston and my SLGs but hopefully I'll have some time on the weekend.
