Thank you so much! But - yeah - comfort is a must!
Only once have I sold a bag and then missed it - it did fill a need but made me irate every time I used it - so it had to go. I’ve since found another that works so much better though it is a little small.
I sold my LV Musette Tango right before we left - woo hoo! And she is thrilled with the bag, so we’re both happy!
Ha! No - I didn’t replace them but I sure did see some beauties!You look amazing, @Cookiefiend , but I'm so sorry to hear that the shoes didn't work out for you. How annoying to have painful shoes when you're thousands of miles away from your closet.
Unless you bought a replacement pair of black pumps in Paris???
And - thank you for your kind words!
This is exactly what I have been doing. I think that is a great idea because after the holidays I will probably have a few more that can go.
The market is terrible. I'm trying to sell some scarves and....ugh....
Yes, @Cookiefiend: we might need to hear a bit more about the tripYou look amazing, @Cookiefiend , but I'm so sorry to hear that the shoes didn't work out for you. How annoying to have painful shoes when you're thousands of miles away from your closet.

, and keeping to our theme - did the bags you brought along work out? What bags did you see in your Parisian outings on other people? Any new ideas about your collection?Sorry to hear that. I don't do ebay only consignment shops and Posh and have had some good luck , not with everything but a lot of stuff found happy new homes. I have also given away a lot of stuff too.
I don't own any of the others, but I do have two Valentino bags. One is this little "bow" clutch I've had for years:
The other is brand-spanking-new (and is also my birthday present from DH this year)… the VLock shoulder bag. Shown here with my OTHER present from DH (we had ourselves a bit of a "time" in San Francisco, heh): the newly-issued Gucci Flora scarf. Flora is a very old Gucci design (t goes back to the 1950 or 60s, I think?) but it's been reissued this fall with little gold stars superimposed over the flowers.
Elaine, your V Bow clutch is beautiful and your new goodies are stunning! Congratulations! I love the colour of your VLock shoulder bag and the G Flora scarf is so pretty.I don't own any of the others, but I do have two Valentino bags. One is this little "bow" clutch I've had for years:

We had a fabulous time - had a couple rainy days, had a spectacular time in the Champagne region and had two tastings. One at Pierre Gimonnet (love their Special Clubs) and at Gaston Chiquet where we even we taken down to the caves! Since I’m also reading about the history of this region, it was fascinating.Yes, @Cookiefiend: we might need to hear a bit more about the trip
Oceans of Champagne!
We walked through Notre-Dame de Reims - where all of France’s kings were coronated. There were windows by Marc Chagall! I have a thing for beautiful old churches.
We spent a day at the Louvre:
I carried the Dinky to Champagne and to the Louvre - it’s a no fuss no muss purse and light weight. While it is small, I can take ID and a CC and put them in the kiss lock pocket where they are very safe, that leaves room for my epipen, a lippy, sunglasses, phone and tissues. Though the phone is in the exterior back pocket.
I carried the K one afternoon walking (in the rain), to dinner without a shoulder/crossbody strap (two places had little places for me to set the purse so it wasn’t on the floor - so nice,), and to the Atelier de Lumiere - which was really cool, but made us so dizzy we had to sit down! The K got pretty wet one day, but I had moisturized and polished her before we left just in case that might happen. She did look a little rough that afternoon, but by evening she was as good as new.
I saw a few B’s in the hotel, lots of LV, a few Proenza Schoulers, quite a few Goyards, and a lot YSL. We did go to H at Faubourg and honestly I didn’t pay any attention to who was wearing what except for the very regal woman who was carrying a Goyard Jeanne - it was very nice. When we walked to the Louvre, we walked down Rue Faubourg... me gasping “Ohmigoodness - there’s Moynat, Delvaux, Goyard, X, Y, and Z!!’, the entire way.
Mr Cookie says ‘I’ve never heard of these brands.”
Oh! And I did take the K to Hermes while wearing my Della Cavaliere moussie.
Beautiful pictures and wonderful storytelling, Cookie. It sounds like a marvellous trip. Great bag choices.
