Thank-you so much!
Thank-you! After last year hubby told me I should finally try and wear something "really elegant"... did I get it right this time?
You look great this year and last year! Very nice bag.
Lovely photos. I never would have known that you were awkward being photographed… you look like a natural. Maybe it was the wine???
So nice to see how your red/burgundy collection has evolved, @More bags . The 2020 version is beautifully curated.My red and burgundy bags,
2017
- Chanel 13P Red Reissue 226 Aged Calfskin
- Chanel 00V Red Quilted Lambskin Wallet on Chain
- Ferragamo Rouge Noir Ginny Shoulder Bag
2018
- 1 in 1 out: Added Chanel 17B Small Burgundy Quilted Caviar Lizard Coco Handle, Sold Ferragamo Ginny
2019
2020
- The group photo in the 2019 thread was the same as the 2018 thread
- Shortly after the pic was posted I did a 1 in 1 out: Added Hermes Rouge H Garden Party 36 Negonda, Sold Louis Vuitton Batignolles Horizontal
I feel I have good coverage for my red and burgundy bags, a tote, a hand held, a shoulder bag and a small bag/WOC. I especially like the versatility of the Coco Handle, Reissue and WOC in that I can carry them multiple ways - shoulder carry (single strap or double strap Reissue and WOC), crossbody, by the handle (Coco Handle) or as a clutch (WOC).

Hi everyone! With encouragement from the fabulous @momasaurus I’m going to give it my best to join this thread. I’ve read a bit of last year and all of this one and I think it’s a great way for me to dig into my closet and appreciate all that I’ve collected. I’d also love to downsize but I am a bit of a fashion hoarder ( my 20 yr old daughter is enjoying some of my 80’s fiorucci and Henry Lear from college, so it suits her!). My hope is that I can dig up, clean out and do my best not to acquire. And maybe get a little encouragement along the way. Last year I only purchased two bags, an Hermes Aline mini bag the first week of the year and a Gucci Dionysus WOC on the last day of the year. So pretty much a whole 11 months without a bag purchase. I’d like to keep that up and even do better.
I love all the photos and will see what I have in the red family to contribute. A shout out to @cowgirlsboots on your fabulous vintage style. I’ll try to share some of my vintage as well, although your collection is TDF. I love that you love the Dior trash bags! I was such a pre Dior Galliano fan and collected mostly his evening wear. It’s all boxed up but my DD did try some on for her prom, lol.
I’m also amazed at the pen bravery going on here. I am terrified to carry pens in any of my bags and switched to pencils. The thought of a pen strike or ink spill in a beloved bag kills me. I suppose a nice pen case would solve all that terrorfunny thing is, I don’t baby my bags otherwise.
Sorry for the long intro post, I look forward to participating as best I can. My work keeps my posts intermittent, but I will try to keep up.
Thank-you! This means so much to me especially on a bleak day like today. Somehow I fell into an emotional hole this morning and ended up sitting in front of the computer staring at handbags... almost lost my marbles and actually bought one. What stopped me only was that it is situated in the UK with shipping costs and paypal fees for paying in a foreign currency would make it even more expensive.
I count gifts in my collection only because I count my total of all the bags I own. However I don’t count a gift as a failed attempt to stay my collection because I didn’t pay for it. I hope that makes sense to you.
It is sealed so I think you are safe. Lol Beautiful bag ! Enjoy your cookie.Bag spill for Red Week.
Yesterday afternoon I carried my Valentino Vlock Shoulder Bag to a concert. The bag was my birthday present from DH last year. It's box calf, very stiff, and on the small side, so I find that it's good for dressy special events rather than knock-around daily use.
With no trouble, it held:
- my iPhone X
- pill case
- card case
- cough drops
- sunglasses
- keys
- lipstick
- chocolate chip cookie
No, I don't normally run around with cookies in my bag! But the performance venue has a little shop that sells pre-concert munchies, including the absolutely best chocolate chip cookies in the whole. entire. world. We have a subscription to the concert series, so once a month I buy a cookie. And then I tuck it away in my bag to have with coffee the next morning. Hey, it's got all the basic food groups, right? Eggs, wheat, butter, sugar, chocolate…
