Nothing green to share this week. Was thinking of getting this cute little Hill and Friends camera bag for DD but it’s suddenly sold out. I should take that as a sign and browse no more.
2020 resolution - shopping my own bag and wallet collection. Any one else?

Joining in this thread as i feel I am very happy with my current collection of bags.Most are H bags, with exception of Gucci bamboo top handle bag, and a few Longchamp,bags for travel ( I don’t consider large work totes as bags per se) . Very happy to see a thread devoted to rotatimg your bags!
March happens to be my bd month and my first mini roulis is this well loved and used Vert Anglais. Here is the link to when I began to prerfer small bags to larger, heavier and more complicated H bags. I can easily pass on the more expensive Kellys and Birkins due to weight and fussiness plus I do prefer crossbody or shoulder bags for ease of use.

My resolution regarding my bags are to edit one or two, though a few are too special to me to release. Two are chevre leather, a mini Trim in Rouge ViF and a bolide 31 in raisin. Because chevre leather is so rare, I am hesitant to release them plus they both add a pop of color for my neutral bag collection. I also have a rouge grenat bolide 27 that is not getting as much use lately either. But I think it is a better bag sfyle choice for me over a kelly or lindy at this time. It’s so light to carry and i do love the color. I recently purchased two bags though at the start of the year, a LV Moon backpack, my first nice backpack that I can carry for weekend wear and walking pup downtown to H lol, and added the Saut 23 which I really love and have been using. The one coveted bag i have wished for the longest time is a barenia kelly 25, maybe sellier and thinking if I ever was offered one, I’d possibly release my barenia Halzan or barenia fauborg mini roulis. But i think the dream of a kelly vs. the reality of what actually suits me and my lifestyle grab hold and this is why i need the support of this thread !!!
Happy March everyone!

Sentimental challenge not great . I wore the speedy easily twice, but the pap30 only once.
Books read only 1 3/4 books since January . I just couldn't get into reading the first book and refused to put it down till it was done.

An incredible effort with more out than in - really well done with this!

Donate 4 older coach bags to our Nanny. She was thrilled with them. I had forgotten about them and they were not in my bag count.
Sold and donate a ton of items as part of our move! Very happy with my progress. Including a bunch of designer shoes I never wear. Did not know people buy used shoes (they were worn maybe once so still looked flawless).
I failed at tracking bags and rotating. But waiting for our move to start this, and realistic bags will be in sea shipment for a month or so. Will start tracking once settled in.

For green week I still have my 2 green bags from last year - bambou kelly and malachite birkin. No intention of selling either bag. Bambou is actually one of my most used bags. The colour is bright but it goes beautifully with black, grey and navy in winter and pinks, light blues and whites in the summer.
Welcome to the thread Lanit! Your Roulis is lovely!
@Sparkletastic where are you? Miss you much. I hope you are well
just beautiful! I love Dalvys!

I did well this month. I was tempted by a black Balenciaga city from a re-sale site, really great price! but I didn’t pull the trigger. I was shocked at the prices! Back in my days of buying Balenciaga bags the prices on the re-sale market was astronomical!
I used 5 out of 7 bags this month ( a lot for me!) this thread really inspired to rotate and use my bags, including my red trim for February red/pink challenge
0 bags in – 0 bags out.
1 Hermes red bag charm (tutti fruit pomme )
I will have one bag purchase from H in the coming months, ( an Evelyne) I’m just not sure what colour to buy, I’m torn between Noir, Bleu Nuit, Etoupe or Etain. 2 scarves, 1 from spring summer 2020, and a past season shawl from the 2020 Paris summer sale. 2 cashmere cardigans and a silk skirt from an ethical sustainable company, a parka for next winter, and a pair of leather slides for the summer. After that, I will be on save mode for my Paris trip in 2021 and the opening of the H store in my area, also in 2021.
There’s a pocket on one side and a divided pocket on the other.
And I can’t upload a photo without starting a new message
Thank you. I like structured bags and smooth leathers. But I’m not at all an uptight person, LOL
Thank you, keodi, for the Dalvy love.just beautiful! I love Dalvys!

And congrats on your stats.
Of your Evelyn color choices, I adore Bleu Nuit. SO special! Let us know what you decide on.
Welcome to the thread lanit!
Beautiful Roulis, and I love your raisin Bolide - such a great color!
@papertiger was also debating on color for her Evie, she went with black (if I remember correctly) and has found it extremely versatile. Good luck deciding though!just beautiful! I love Dalvys!
