We went to the province during the weekend for a double birthday celebration of my brother and a sister. I wore my Furla and I loved having her on my lap during the 2 hour road trip!

Random question. I see a Gucci bag for sale and the seller says that the inside lining is coming off and leaving a sticky residue. Really?? Is this normal? Is it suspicious? For the amount of money Gucci charges for their bags, I expect the lining to be sewn in rather than glued for one, and certainly not to peel!

Have you shared this charm before? I don't recall it.
Showed it when I showed the Furla when I got back from Macau. But not hung. It was the 2nd item from the store that made me qualify for the additional 10%off (buy 2 items then get addl 10% off).

The packing cube and LeSportsak are my travel stuff which go in the Bally. the Longchamp, mini pochette, and wallet are my daily stuff are in my Speedy with my cardigan.

The Bally is a great road trip bag. If we went shopping I could've used it as a reusable bag as well since there was ample room in it.
I'm liking the Bally tote more and more because of you and DC! :smile:

Not sure about Gucci, but there were a lot of vintage LVs from Japanese ebay sellers that said "inside is sticky". I understood what that meant when I got to see certain bags in Japan pre-loved shops. But hard for me to describe now. Sorry, not much help I know.

I've been bag spotting. Lots of Neverfulls, Speedies, Goyard totes, Coach totes and crossbodies. I saw one Pochette Metis. Surprised at how many branded patterned canvas I've seen here!

Surprised there aren't many chanel bags being worn here. Usually I spot a lot of those.
I keep telling you, bake, don't I? This area is the Back of Beyond when it comes to designer bags!!! :lol:

This packing method looks so very efficient and I love the Bally and the patterns together, all of them. I see you're another BB. Do I remember that you have a custom Longchamp tote with your initials or am I imagining it?

I imagine this is a vintage bag?

LV had a lining in older bags that became sticky. It's like a coated plastic lining. It should be replaceable by Gucci, as it is for LV replacing sticky lining. Might wanna be sure before considering it.

Ohh okay. I remember now!

Bally is a great bag, I just wish I didn't get such a big one where it's only a travel bag. It would be so cute as work bag if it were one size smaller.

Even vintage/older designs! I kept eyeing the guy next to me on the trolley! He had a canvas tote with the red LV circle in fantastic condition.

And several people complimented my rocketship charm.

It's just insane how many bags I spotted! Haha.

Thank you! Woo! We have the same initials!

Before packing cubes were known to me I used the same system with large ziplock bags. I just love being organized. [emoji23]

I have the Neverfull wth the BB on it. :)
A custom LC with my initials would be cool too... gotta go try it out!
