My dose of Dior from Paris: Diva boots!
View attachment 4671462

Honestly, I don´t have any idea where to wear them... but leave them behind I couldn´t do. Who knows when another pair in my size, a halfway decent state and at a halfway ok price (after a lot of haggling with the nice owner of one the charming vintage boutiques at the St Ouen market.) will turn up, again.

The little black 40ies bag is the only bag I bought in Paris. It was 5 Euro...

Those are some hot boots.
 
I've finally reorganized my bags so they're all out of their dust bags and lined up on shelves. (I have to share, they look so pretty :lol:). Then I read on another thread that you shouldn't have the leathers touching each other for prolonged periods of time. Any thoughts on this? I thought if I can see them all every day I may start to decide which ones I can sell, although I'm not sure if it will actually help or not....

The backpack is very light . As far as the lacquer goes I have had no issues personally. I wear the micro Sutton a lot and mine looks fine. I just got scared with all the posts , but I don’t know how they treat their bags. I hope that makes sense.

My oldest daughter has a very sentimental MK Ciara- her boy-friend bought it for her with his first full paycheck years ago. She used to wear it every day without any problems. It still looks like new!
But after she took it to New York on holidays last year and heavily overstuffed it the rubber (?) binding on the handles gave in.
I tried to get help from MK customer service and was told they generally do not repair any bags- not even if you pay for it what I´d have happily done for her.
They exchange all bags that become faulty within the 2 year-warranty, but that´s all.
That´s sad when it comes to sentimental bags...
I´ll take my edge paint with me when I go to see her at Easter and will give the repair a try.
 
I’m sure the weatherproof uggs are lovely too and warm and comfortable!
Well... they are quite nice. The shape is a little chunky/ very structured and even after 3 years they have not completely given in to my wide feet, so the comfort is sometimes limited. Their advantage is that they are warm, weather- and waterproof and have slip-proof profile soles.

Your storage is fabulous. You can really see all your bags. I guess you need to be careful with colour transfer if they are close but you don’t have light colours next to dark so should be okay.

I love seeing my bags inside my cupboards. I don’t have as many but I agree it helps me switch and use them more often. This is the section above my vanity mirror and shelves.

What a stunning display! The "Paris" bag caught my eye. May I see it, please?
