Thank you, I'll look forward to joining the 2020 thread. I'm hoping to make a good start and stick with it this year.

Happy Christmas everyone, have a wonderful time.

It's just me and DH this year.................so we've escaped all the hard work and run off to the sunshine once again. It's a very different reality to Christmas in UK ❄️ ⛄️ ☔️

Good to know I'm not the only one! That's just what I used to do:drinks: It's too big and expensive to run, blah.....blah ..........an ongoing work in progress I've sold, consigned, donated and moved on all clothes with tags, anything that doesn't fit at the moment or I don't wear. I also decided I wouldn't buy anything that I wasn't going to wear that week and only if there was a really good reason why I couldn't wear something I already had :cursing:

Last year was a huge success for me with shopping my own wardrobe and clearing wardrobe space. Then I KonMari'd everything that was left, even DH loved the concept and did his sock drawer :giggle: :angel:

Now I must commit myself to the rest of my stuff
2020 for me will be about doing the same with shoes, scarves and bags :panic:

This is awesome! Congrats on the work already done, and looking forward to hearing about the future work. It's hard!

I am so sorry for this disappointment! And to have to wait until March! It is a beautiful bag, i’ve actually been eyeing one myself....how is the quality other than the missing tag? The black on black is so elegant.....

I received a Ferragamo bag direct from Ferragamo last week, was a disappointment also...it had been a return, arrived with the protective hardware stickers pulled off and crumpled in the box, along with ripped tissue crumpled in the box... the bag reeked of strong perfume and the metal bow on the front was covered in dried speckled spots, like someone wearing it had sprayed hairspray etc....talk about poor warehouse quality control, to send a ‘new’ bag to a customer in that condition.....

anyhow, i get your disappointment! But at least when i reordered it i received the replacement quickly......hope yours comes faster than anticipated....

I'm sure you'll be thrilled to bits when it comes back. I sent my Chanel WoC away for cleaning and recolouring in parts, particularly the interwoven chain/leather strap. It now looks amazing, just like new again..........lol, I'll have to look after it now, although I've been considering moving it on :doh:


Curious what did it stink of?

Good question! My first thought musty basement from my days up north, in bag and dustbag, made me sneeze and cough for two days. The lingering odor more chemically, perhaps? I have 99% faith in clearing the general leathers in Evelyne’s construction, leather lining, leather H...I do wonder how the vibrato layers absorb and/or trap odors—so we will see.

The thing is though, if I keep this up, my child will be featured on those commercials where they play Sarah Maclachlan songs.

I bought a vintage bag in November. There is another bag that just showed up on ebay that is tempting me. I'll probably wait to see if the price drops. In the last couple months, I have bought some SLGs. Compared to previous years, I think I've done pretty good this year. Wait until you see my year to date stats. I'm waiting to see if any more of my items sell before the year end.

Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah or Happy Holidays to all. Hope you all have a wonderful day. I have used 22 bags since the beginning of November. I have used almost all my fall /winter bags. I am not including anything I will receive this week in the challenge for me unless weather or function permits.

Oh Wow, that's amazing, brilliant rotation of bags. I admire your energy and well done for such organised Stats. How do you keep track of them?

I'm on holiday at the moment and have five bags with me. I love wearing them but find it a real fag to keep changing them over :girlsigh: I won't bring so many again, I've got to get them packed up to bring home tomorrow :panic:

Merry Christmas, everyone!
Ok I discovered another issue I have. I will see a bag irl and then decide I need it. Like today my cousins wife was using her burgundy calfskin celine box bag and now that's all I can think of. gosh darn it. But I've never spent more than $1000 on a bag, so I likely won't succumb, but this is just one of many examples :shocked:

Ps. you ladies are inspiring. I know we can collectively do better in 2020 :)
