My bag for today - Marc Jacobs XL Single. I didn’t like this when it arrived (but I already have a pink one that I adore). Bought it preloved. But when I stored this stuffed to restore its shape, after a while I fell in love! And I think I also need this in just the Large size.
Great look! His quilted bags were really special. So sorry he stopped making them.
Would you get the Large size in black? Or a different color?
I agree. There were well made and recognizable. Today’s bags are nice but not as iconic as the older ones.
I think I need the Large in black more than colored. But, I'm also still thinking if I should go for non-quilted bags altogether. I'm not yet ready to pull the trigger anyway, so there's still time to think.
Thanks! I've not added a scarf in a long time. And in March to May, I didn't feel like wearing scarves anyway because these were the summer months here. I'm slowly using them again, but yet as belt. Not much as (neck) scarf yet.
Well, I totally underestimated the foot surgery. The knee & eye surgeries were very easy recoveries. This foot surgery, however, is a completely different deal. My foot is killing meand I’m not supposed to do anything for a week except lie around and keep it iced and elevated.
I used some of that do nothing time today to inspect, clean, condition my bags. In so doing, I decide to definitely keep my Fendi BTW. But, I also pulled three more for sale that I love but don’t use and don’t see myself using them going forward.
I’m feeling brave because though I hate selling bags, the changes I’ve made in the last six months-ish have been good ones - swapping out my red Chanels, deciding to repair and keep the Black YSL, etc.
Here are all the bags I’ve pulled from my collection this year.

Assuming I part ways with the may sell bags (which I’m 90% sure I will part with at least 3), this brings me down to “only” 20 bags in my collection.My self imposed maximum is 30 but, I’m most comfortable around 25ish.
I don’t have any big gaps or must haves that I’m hunting. (I’m not thinking about the black tote right now.) So, I’ll buy as I see things I love.
I also swapped out wallets.I’ve worn my Gucci for three years and it needs to move on. I was giggly happy as I put my things in the black Dior wallet I’ve had waiting in the wings for two years.
I also decided to keep my gold Dior card holder. With my pink card holder that means I have a total of 3 SLG’s. I’m going back to Chanel this week and get the flat card wallet like @vink has in black. I passed out from the price. LOL! So I needed a moment.
But, I’ll get a lot of use from it and I love it so it is what it is.
Let me know how you like the wallet. [emoji4] Concentrates on recovery first. [emoji4] You can even ask DH to pick it up for you.
Thanks! The color alone just makes me smile just to look at it. She’s so pretty IRL. [emoji4] (I can’t stop bragging! Help! [emoji38][emoji38][emoji38])
Get well soon, Spark!!And now for pics of my new baby!

I. Adore. This. Little. Bag!
I love that she’s completely different from anything I own. She’s a great addition to my collection!
Mr. S wanted to brighten my spirits after the surgeries which were really weighing on me the past couple of days. I was beginning to hold a massive pity party which just isn’t me.
He said he bought this specific bag to help break me out of my “it must be perfectly practical but also emotionally soul stirring” craziness. He reminded me I don’t need to apply math and logic to every decision.
And... I’m just giddy!!!! It’s sooo cute, fun and feminine without being completely twee. It also practical as it has a removable shoulder strap and is teeny but holds a ton!!!
Once I’m ambulatory, Mr. S. is going to take me shopping to get some rose gold jewelry to coordinate.And, as soon as I have normal post op feet, he’s getting me shoes. So yippee!!
Thanks for letting me share and being excited with me! Ban Island is officially and happily left in the distance!
What a sweet DH you've got, cutest bag and i am longing for the mod shots!!
This colour is screaming SUMMEEER!!!!
just gorgeous!
This is such a GREAT bag.
I love the look - especially the clasp!!! The size is wonderful too. Sometimes we need a bag that will carry our stuff without having to compromise. This is a great bag for your collection, MSD. I need something like this too.
Thanks! Recovery is #1. The pain meds made me very sick over the weekend so now, I can’t take ones strong enough to fully stop the pain. That means it’s the bed, elevation and ice for a while.Let me know how you like the wallet. [emoji4] Concentrates on recovery first. [emoji4] You can even ask DH to pick it up for you.

And, I gave Mr. S the Chanel SA’s card last night so he can get the wallet. He’s traveling on business this week. I’m gonna miss my nurse.
I may have to break my rule and do a mod shot with this bag when I’m back on my feet. She’s super cute!Get well soon, Spark!!

My box from Leather Surgeons with my Chanel and YSL will be here today.
I’m (im) patiently waiting!!!

How many of the MJ quilted bags do you have? I have two: a single and a little stam. Love them both (they are completely different styles) but not looking to get any more. I sold two XL baroque singles last year because the size/color didn't work, and I'm just as glad I don't have them.
I still have one MJ bag that I need to sell... a Peggy Wellington that is gorgeous as a little evening bag, but I have others that meet the need, and I find I just don't reach for it. It comes with two (removable) straps, the gold one, shown here, and a longer black leather one. My "problem" is, I have too many little black evening bags!
Ugh - mini rant here - I hate reselling.
I have a few scarves listed on Posh and someone is insisting that one of the scarves is fake. I keep insisting that they do a little research, and even suggesting that they come to tPF to have it authenticated… but noooooooo.
It's very frustrating and I'm trying to be nice but I don't wanna be nice anymore!
(thanks for listening!
