2019 resolution - shopping my own bag and wallet collection. Any one else?

[Miss_Dawn]

These look really nice. I love the one on the lower left side, very similar to my tumi. What does that one have on the inside?

It has plenty of individual card slots and then a fairly deep pocket for a bunch of cards. It's a really good design because the sides have plenty of give to expand or contract. So it takes up more or less in your (mini!) bags depending on how many cards you're carrying.

2019 is an awesome handbag year because I am SATISFIED. Everything that comes my way moving forward is only icing on the cake and not really necessary. I have everything that I need -

Except: Buy a secure satchel from a vegan designer - not from a designer who happens to sell some non-leather products. I want to give vegan designers a chance and all of my satchels are leather, open top, and therefore, not secure. I usually do not mind that my totes and satchels are open, which is why I went crazy with the Kate Spade, Maryanne Gold Coast line, but I can't use them for a security sensitive task that I do.

I love my collection although I do have a couple that should be considered for passing on as I rarely use them (MK bedford bowler in saddle and MJ peython embossed starburst stam).

There’re a couple, I believe. I think there’s even a thread on that. Or you can check Etsy.

I recently moved to the country and the few dress shops here are really trying to bring in great vegan designers. I would like to support my local dress shops and explore who they are buying from. I am really not vegan handbag savy yet and therefore can't say if the Stella M collections speak with my taste.

* I am going to make 2019 a vegan handbag year. Not necessarily for purchasing, but just to get to know some designers so that I can have a sensible and more in depth discussion on this topic.

I like your goal.

Checking in on two topics:
New Year New Bag - still carrying the first bag I moved into, My Massaccesi Modena in Green Vachetta.

Loving it or Listing - I never even had the wherewithal to get my Nomad out, so that must mean something. Today I pulled her out and after a quick try-on decided that it's time to list. I am also listing my Edie 31 in Flax Pebbled and Suede. Clearing those out and making room for bags I will wear more often/fit my needs!
@vink - you know this means a MM order, right?

Just in time for the last minute today!

What's everyone's favorite thing to do with a bag that doesn't sell? Do you find a way to love it again, do you sell it for $1, do you donate it (if so, what's your favorite charity to donate to), do you give it to a friend, and/or do you see if a family member wants it first? Any other ideas or thoughts?

I have an adorable vintage bag I bought for £15 that I'm selling for £15, but no one is interested!

Normally, I give them away.

Ork... I just spent two hours in the mall shopping for jeans. Finally found three pairs that fit me, but I had to work much too hard.

I need a nap.

I can feel your pain. I’m considered abnormally huge since teenager for where I live so it’s even harder. So, jeans shopping is always a pain. I love global shipping.

One of my favorite bags of the moment is Massaccesi's (sadly he stops taking orders tomorrow) Soulmate Midi! It's in my avatar currently.

This thread moves faster than any thread I have ever followed! But checking in that yay, I have done my 10 bags in 31 days challenge! I have used:
1. Massaccesi Soulmate
2. Coach Nolita
3. Longchamp Le Pliage Tote
4. Massaccesi Selene
5. Lodis Hobo
6. Kadobag Tote
7. Massaccesi Aphrodite
8. Henri Bendel Jetsetter
9. Massaccesi Tulipano
10. Dooney and Bourke Tote

Weirdly, I haven't completed yet the wearing of my 3 newest acquisitions for 2 days...I have used 2 of the 3, but hopefully will wear the remaining one before the end of January...

Keep going everyone! Almost halfway through January!

Which Dooney tote do you have. I really like Dooney but a lot of their bags are a bit to heavy for me. I kept one that is just right. Wish I could do more as they are indestructible.

You deserve a prize after that!


This is SO gorgeous!! Definitely one of my short wishlist items - I think it's just perfect and have always imagined it would be comfortable and easy to carry.


This is such a tidy and chic bag - I can understand wanting it with you often! Echoing what I think @ElainePG asked - how do you like to style it? I haven't taken the white/ecru bag plunge either.


Great job! Seriously - I moved into one bag at the beginning of the month and stayed. I only just changed up my pouches this morning.

Speaking of - bag #2 of 3 in New Year New Bag - my new Massaccesi Tan Washed Lamb Penelope shown with my ever-present Modena in Green Vachetta. Love both of these.

This is exactly how I like my set up too. I will have to remember this.

#8 of 10 in 31: Small nylon crossbody from Mandarina Duck,
And also the third bag of the New Year New Bag challenge.
Two more bags and I‘m done with the challenges
Hope that I can also sell the bags I‘ve listed, but I‘m in no hurry...

I love jeans".........the trick is to find the brand and fit that work best for you. I like Paige and joe jeans. Right now I’m loving paige as the have slim straight leg jean that fits me amazing. I have bought them in every color. Have about 12 pair different washes

 

[Cookiefiend]

Thanks! [emoji173]️

Lucky brand used to fit me best but now that I am a bit fluffier not so much. I am still doing whole 30 so I will see if my jeans fit again when I am done. If not I will go shopping in Feb. I have a long torso which makes it tricky buying pants and I am medium tall at 5'9".

Oof - another long torso here (though at my height - 6’ -everything is long) so keep us posted on what you find!
I do like Paige jeans and have several pairs. NYD jeans don’t fit me - I wish they did because they’re easy to find and they make a lot of different styles.
