I love burgundy bags!

 

[muchstuff]

Wow - lovely collection!

Thanks!

 

[momasaurus]

Glorious! Which products do you use for home-spa-ing, please?

These are all box leather. I have a crate full of stuff for that, LOL. Saphir, Fiebings, Meltonian, some of Docride's stuff, some of the stuff she *used* to recommend, etc. I have more stuff for other leathers.

Oh my...

Thanks!

Stunning Reds.

This is the most I have of any one color, so you won't be seeing a lot more of me!

Yes! Rouge H beauties!

Thanks - I loooooove the color.

I just gave a little involuntary sigh when I saw all this gorgeous rouge leather…

Thank you. A family photo.

 

[momasaurus]

beautiful!!

What a gorgeous red and perfect pairing with the scarf!

Thank you both. It's my only REALLY red thing except for a pair of corduroy trousers and a shirt from Gap!

Thanks! @fayden said she's had her Bals touching for a long while with no repercussions so I don't know...

Yup. I've had my bals stacked on top of one another for years... and nothing has transferred. my house is kept cool at all times and no humidity in the closet... so I'm not worried about it.

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 ). 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....

Wow, I envy your closet and your bag collection as well!! It’s generally humid In my country and also dusty. I don’t open my windows and I have air conditioner in my room, even then dust still gets in. I attempted to display my bags before in my glass encased bookcase, but no, I realized it would not be a good idea. My dust bags get a dusty feel, that means dust do get in.

I’m fortunate that we’re fairly temperate here. I think they’ll be OK out on the shelves...

I love that blue! I love that we are twins again even if in different colors.

I know right! How do you find your Klara? I love mine as it is very easy to carry. But I find it a bit casual for work (Monday to Thursday as Friday is a casual day), though it’s really not. Just mindset I guess.

Your red collection is most enviable! So many lovely bags and SLGs. Do you switch SLGs regularly too?

I can never work out how I’d wear red. In fact I don’t have any yellow, orange or green either. From blue week onwards I’m there though.

That's the second time plastic has been mentioned, I'm not sure if it would be a good thing against the leather? But yes, something along those lines.

I don't think plastic is good unless there is no hot weather where you are. Heat ,plastic and leather is not a good combo.

The in or out of dust bags for storage is an interesting debate which seems to split bag lovers. Without doubt it’s better for the bags to be stored inside their dust bags. However, I made the decision to store them out as I view my small collection as being like private art to enjoy. They are carefully displayed on the higher shelves of my fitted wardrobes and peak out when I open the doors.

I think the way you have them without being squeezed together as well as behind cabinet doors works.
