Omgosh remember our meetup and how wonderful the verso lindy is being well loved and used! I nearly bought a mini lindy in rouge de couer, but held off knowing I had a red bolide and the chevre mini trim. See? I resisted the temptation, though I know these little lindys are flying out the door. You’re so lucky to have a verso with that pretty pop on the inside Essie!

Lol thanks dear, but I thought maybe you all would help convince me to resist the temptation! As for smooth or textured, I think i would be open to either but the smooth would be ideal since i have a mini roulis in BF already. the Halzan would have to be released though it offers different functions as a tote, clutch or shoulder bag. And it is a more secure bag to travel with too.
My greens. Some are turquoise so I include them in greens and blues.
1. Coach Legacy duffle in emerald
2. Michael Kors suede uptown Astor
3. vintage bag marked Filene's Basement
4. Coach vintage Sonoma small flap in aqua

6. Coach Kaffe Fassett Marleigh (new this year) this is mostly black but Coach calls in green
7. Coach vintage coin purse

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!
Hello, @lanit !So nice to see you on this thread. You have such a gorgeous collection of bags, so well-curated, that it's hard to see how you'd ever release one.
We're here to support you if a Kelly makes your heart go potty-pat!
And in the meantime, we look forward to seeing photos of your lovely bags.
Good job for February!
Beautiful! great bag, and I love the spill!
I agree they sure do!
Wow, that sucks!
Great bags, they look fantastic!
I appreciate hearing your thoughts on the Evie! I will definitely follow up on the colour I end up going with when the time comes. The ethical and sustainable brands I plan on getting my items , the cashmere pieces are from are Johnstons of Elgin. Its a cashmere production facilIty that has been operating since the 1700s they also produce cashmere for high end brands as well. I plan on purchasing my skirt from Elizabeth Suzann.
congratulations!
Welcome @lanit!
Thanks everyone for the warm welcome!
This is a dandy collections of greens, @whateve . I got a kick out of the vintage Filene's Basement bag. Did they ever have a FB in California? I went to college in Boston, and I remember doing a lot of shopping at that store. In those days, it really WAS in the basement of Filene's department store! No fitting rooms… you were supposed to take off your clothes in the (jam-packed) aisles and try things on. Needless to say, I was WAY too shy to do that, so I did a lot of guessing!
I hadn't realize that Coach had done a collab with Kaffe Fassett. I used to attempt to replicate his knitting patterns, though they were usually much too complicated for me. His parents were the original owners of Nepenthe Restaurant down on Big Sur, and the Phoenix gift shop below the restaurant used to carry some of his sweaters/quilts/afghans. Don't know if they still do. You were fortunate to find one of the bags. It's a stunner! By now, they're all sold out on the Coach site.
One more green SLG to share for green theme. Atout GM is Vert Vertigo with Vert Cypress inside. This pouch is so handy and versatile! I use it for travel to hold my passport and Calvis and bills. Combined with my Game silver chain necklace, it becomes an evening clutch! Plus a lot less expensive than buying another bag.
I love that Coach Legacy. I have great memories of my Legacy Coach bags. They are so well made.

I love KF’s knitted textiles and sweaters! I think I still might have a book somewhere on his work Elaine!

Thank you! I think there was just one Filene's Basement, the one in Boston. I found this one at a thrift store in California. I remember going to stores that had communal dressing rooms that I was too shy to use. My mom once took her shirt off in a Macy's to try on a top. It shocked my daughter.This is a dandy collections of greens, @whateve . I got a kick out of the vintage Filene's Basement bag. Did they ever have a FB in California?

I was very fortunate to get the Kaffe Fassett bag. I had ordered one of the wallets earlier and that got cancelled. The bags were pretty much sold out when I decided I wanted one. Another tpfer told me about a store that had one left so I called them and ordered it. It is amazing in real life. I didn't know much about Kaffe Fassett. I just liked it. That is so interesting about Big Sur. I haven't been there in ages.
Yay! Love when I sell something out of the blue.
Holy Moley, that Coach Kaffe Fassett Marleigh is stunning!
Such a pretty green! How do you attach the necklace to the Atout?
(And what a great, versatile idea!)
