Pens and other items like drinks or snacks are of course a concern. I totally understand why some people choose not to carry them especially in really high end bags. Generally, I treat my bags with care but use them for everything as I want them to be practical and get joy from carrying them. I do put drinks, pens, hand cream etc in my bags but often in liners or pouches for the pens and hand cream. I check bottle lids really carefully!

Maybe I’d feel differently if I owned some of the Chanel or other high end bags some members have.

@Katinahat I do relate! I really cherish the German vintage bags I use all the time (like Goldpfeil or Aigner or Jaguar) and am careful with them, but don´t think twice about pens and handcream I need (in puches!) or food my son passes to me for safekeeping (there´s always a plastic bag at hand!). These bags don´t mind being used and stuffed to the limit. If I had a Chanel or other really high end bag I´d certainly act differently.

Hah! I know the feeling. My girls are always getting me to carry their stuff. Only now they are bigger it’s phones and purses rather than snacks!

Had to buy them both a bag of their own!

One day perhaps we’ll both have a Chanel. :-) Can but dream.

I found my reds from 2017 and 2018 on my phone. I don’t think I was able to post in 2019.

And now in 2020, I still have the same bags from 2018, except for the leather Longchamp and the smaller nylon Longchamp (Neo). The Neo has been replaced by another red (plum?) nylon Longchamp Le Pliage Club though not in my next photos.
So here are my “true” reds
Marc Jacobs 54 in Flame Red

Another Marc Jacobs, 1984 in Terracotta (orange-y, but since I put it under Reds in previous years I am categorizing it here)

Massaccesi midi Minerva in Red Cherry nappa

Somewhere along the way, my interest turned to Oxblood. Except for the Mulberry, all others were from 2019.
Mulberry Small Zipped Bayswater in Oxblood

Givenchy Pandora in Oxblood

And finally, a Longchamp pouch

I realized I have a true red Massaccesi Flora SLG that I don’t have a picture of.

Red week contribution. Red is not one of my go to colors, I wish I could be that girl with the red lip and a bag to match, but it’s not happening. A touch of burgundy is something I can work with.
This thread is already proving useful as I forgot I had this little cutie :hrmm:

momasaurus, beautiful SLGs. Your Rubis Kelly Wallet is a great shade of red and your Coach card holder looks like a great size.

Rubis is a wonderful color indeed. The coach thing is super-handy: has a zip top for coins, card slots, and it's a keychain

Thanks for the kind words Elaine! I am loving my Coco Handle.
I have two WOCs, a black caviar leather one and a red lambskin one. I use them regularly and perhaps not as frequently as some of my more favourite bags (they are middle of the pack in usage in my bag wardrobe.) While they are great lightweight bags, they are small bags - some say they are SLGs, however I carry them as bags. The downside is that I have to remove the contents of my wallet or card case to put in the slots or pockets. It fits a full sized EpiPen, my phone, lipstick and car key fob. I don’t put my sunglasses in the WOC and for some people that is a complete no go. I do like wearing a WOC for movies, hockey games, dinners out, it works for me for school pick up/drop off, walking around at the mall and grocery shopping.
I hope it helps!

Definitely helps… thank you so much! I'll have to revisit the question of sunglasses. Maybe this would only be an option for me in the evenings. Because I definitely do have to carry sunglasses with me. :annoyed:
