2018 resolution - shopping my own bag and wallet collection. Any one else?

[More bags]

Better to get your collection to a point where it really works for you than to be “good”, IMHO. Every collection needs some bad weather bags and saffiano is a great choice.

I’ve been traveling this weekend and only took two bags with me. LV LockMe II BB View attachment 4082079 and Dior DioramaView attachment 4082078
I just got home and the bag I bought arrived while I was gone. I’m torn. I love it. It’s very different for me but, I know I’d wear it.

I’m not sure I need it, though. In fact I know I don’t. LOL!

Want...need...like...

More after I decide.

Your bags are hot, hot, hot! Can’t wait to see your new bag.

Here she is - mini Cabat
it's in silver metallic finish - Peltro, and it works 100% for me, as i already have a bigger one in the same leather.

Stunning!

Bag C has arrived!! Just as I hoped and expected it got to me Friday. I put the order Monday morning. [emoji3] I wouldn’t have given this a chance had I not tried the non-nubuck version IRL. I like the simplicity of this tote.

First time for me to own a nubuck bag, gosh, it’s so soft!! And I love that it hugs me well! And I love this color called Heather Grey. [emoji173]️ And it weighs 1.9lbs on my luggage scale which is on the light side for me.

So here is my Proenza Schouler Medium Tote! [emoji173]️[emoji173]️

It’s nothing fancy as the Altuzarra bag, but I’m happy with this!! Bag A was the non-nubuck version of this. There were several colors at heavily discounted price: turquoise, coral, orange, blush and brown. I was leaning towards blush. But what I needed really was grey, so I went for this. If there was fuchsia I would have gone for that.

This month I have not been to good and am still waiting for the Mz Wallace Sale. I have been working hard to get rid of the ones that don’t work great and replacing them with ones that do. We have had so much crazy weather this year and even though I am not crazy about saffaino type leathers I bought a second blue Furla bag in this kind of leather. The darker blue tote I bought from them worked so well in winter, that I bought a satchel in a lighter blue for spring/summer. We have had so much rain lately my white bag does not get to come out to play. What have you been carrying lately? I carried my Furla tote yesterday to make sure the color I was buying was truly lighter and it was raining. Lol

Carried My H GP ad Gucci Bright all last week and weekend too

I owe @Sparkletastic a pic of my oldest bag in my collection as I found it looking for a dress to show another member. It's the one I've had for the longest time not the oldest in terms of when it was made (that would be a 1910s fully beaded miser purse followed by a 1920s Deco clutch).

The pink velvet and red snakeskin my parents first bought back from a trip to Italy.







Any of you still have really old bags from when you were a kid/teen?.

 

[dcooney4]

Thanks! Hope your sales have gone well too!

It has slowed down only two bags out and some inexpensive slgs, but there is a couple of days left.

No! The only thing I have left is an old Swiss gas mask bag that I used to wear as a teenager. It held my shoes while I would roller skate through the city .

I'm glad you have your rainy days bag. It's so hot here but at the same time there are times of the day that heavy rains would pour, I just hope I don't get caught!

Here’s Saturday’s bag!

Speedy 20

Sunday’s bag was a Disney backpack from DBF, since I took Bella to Santa Monica for a super long walk.

Today is possibly my Chanel bag as I planned earlier this weekend, but maybe I’ll change my mind to something else.

We’ve had such perfect weather this weekend, I hope everyone is also enjoying the long weekend! [emoji177]


I also sold my Bally bag! Yay! I got a great amount back for it since I got it during a sale. [emoji4] hoping to sell two more bags this year.

The Bally isn’t really an out since I considered it luggage. There’s one more luggage bag and one handbag left to sell.

Speedy is beautiful and the Disney backpack is sooo cute! Will you replace your Bally? Congrats on the sale!

I want to know what this bag is!

The only bag I can remember from less than age 25 is a canvas Bird bag that I used in college. How come I don't recall what other type of bags I used then.

Confession time. I have been thinking whether I should declare or not, but this thread is all about accountability, right? I’m happy with the bags but I’m not really happy with myself. This happens when I am able to sell some stuff.

So, on May 21 I placed the order for the Proenza tote. (Delivered on May 25.) But then on May 24, I could not help but avail of the preview sale at Selfridges (and I have Selfridges+ which qualifies me for free shipping on eligible items for 1 year). I have previously seen this bag online and it has caught my interest. One good thing about Selfridges is that for most items, it removes the UK VAT.

Again, the spirit is weak, so I succumbed to temptation. I thought initially of getting the oxblood since I love my other oxblood, but then I tried to imagine having it on my shoulder. I opted to get it in another color instead.

Hopefully my last purchase in a while! Mulberry Camden in Dune. She arrived yesterday, May 28. And my Mautto canvas strap works well with it for a more casual look/longer strap drop. As you can see, I’ve been leaning towards shoulder carry lately.

Your bags are hot, hot, hot! Can’t wait to see your new bag.

Thanks!!!

Go, go go

This is so cute! Two of my fav colors. I don’t have any bags from when I was a kid / teen. They were pure awful.

You are a lot tougher then me. I could not handle the kind of hot wear you have and look as fresh and lovely as you do.

Absolutely love it! Don’t stress at least you got some bags out too.

 

[dcooney4]

I just thought of another bag I found a few days ago in my basement . It was a gold leather clutch my great grand aunt gave me as a teenager and then I gave to my daughter and she recently gave back to me. I‘m not sure where it is at the moment but if I find it maybe we can figure out who made it.

 

[Sparkletastic]

Oooooohkay.....

So the bag is a no go.

As I tried it on, I heard @papertiger in my head “only buy what meets a unique need and / or is better than what I have”. Then, DD asked me if It was reaaaaaly what I want.

Sigh.

This is a great bag. Very unique. And a pretty color! But it’s not an upgrade or good strategic add to my closet. And I wouldn’t be giddy to wear it. So it’s going back.

Alexander Wang Mini Attica. The pros for this bag is that the leather is nice and it’s very roomy for a bag this size.

What I want is a mini Bal City edge and something cute TBD from Gucci or Dior . That’s what I need to seriously think about getting.
