Your bag looks great in both the modelling shots. It has relaxed over time but looks like you have simply enjoyed using it.

I have posted this photo in a few places - on mulberry tote thread and also general new bag thread - as it is beautiful and I’m delighted with it. My contents are switched into it ready for work tomorrow but it would equally be good as a weekend day or travel hand luggage bag.

Here it is with the flowers DH gave me for Valentine’s Day. The second shot is of the contrasting suede interior with the pouch attached. It’s very light and I like really the colour. Feet would have been an advantage I feel but certainly not a deal breaker especially as it was a gift.

Apologies it’s not red but I’ve got several pinky red contents in it!

How interesting that the Pandora completely changed over time. I like the look when it's become less stiff. Do you?

Oh yes! :smile:

Thank you for the warm welcome.

@ElainePG I’m afraid of pens but have definitely carried unwrapped desserts and cookies of all types in my bags! When I forget they are in there, my dogs usually remember for me. Thank goodness they don’t chew leather! Only chocolates, tea bags and any other treat in my bag. They have even daintily unzipped a bag without harming the leather, just to get at a mint.
The plaid strap is great!

@msd_bags I love your deep red pandora. Is it chevre leather? I have a couple minis in chevre and a large in a smooth leather. I love it but it is a bottomless pit. Your size is perfect.

@cowgirlsboots if you put the @ before the name, the forum makes it red automatically. I am terrible at multi quotes so I find this easier. I don’t want to go off topic with a Galliano clothing but I’ll try to sneak a piece into a bag shot for you :cool: You look very elegant in the last photo, I hope your husband agreed!

Yes my Pandora is in goatskin leather. Such a nice leather. This is officially “medium” and I wear it to work sometimes. The minis are cute!

Love this!! And nice color! Enjoy your new bag!
I'm torn on this Mulberry tote. This size is a bit big for me for daily wear, but I find the smaller one a bit small for my frame (for my liking).

Finally, the Longchamp with the red flap..I like the monotone of this vs. the typical brown leather. Was it a special issue? What a great red collection!:drinks:

The Longchamp nylon with same colored flap is from the Neo line. It is a regular style. And there is also the Club line available now, also nylon, which has the same material as their classic nylon, but the flaps now are same color as the bag itself and not brown.

This is gorgeous, and I love the little pocket on the inside!

The flowers are beautiful, too. Well done, DH!

I’m not sure which of the 2 MJs you mean, but they are both around 13” wide. I also have not worn them for a long time, but they are really beautiful leathers! These were from the time that MJ made his bags in Italy.

I realized I don’t have a lot of mod shots of my Pandora. But it’s medium to large size and it could get a bit heavy if you load her up.

A picture on the night I got it from a Givenchy outlet in Japan. Bag still very stiff.

This is so interesting. I did not know that it hangs only on one edge of the 2 zippers. Very edgy looking and not blocky at all! Slouchy in a most unusual way. Really like it!
Thanks for the modeling shot.

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 :giggle:

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…
