Gorgeous photos! Thanks for sharing with us.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.

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:
View attachment 4596783
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.

I am soooo sorry about your shoes coz (sorry to say coz they're obviously going) they look bl**dy great on you
I feel so behind. Recently, I get up 05:30 and come home 20:30 and go basically straight to bed.
Certainly buying bags is easier and less time consuming than selling.
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.

that bow clutch. Because of the success of the BV Pouch clutch, the V Bow it looks totally fresh again.
