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 something similar with my Keller wallet - use a chain to make it a shoulder bag. Love the metal and leather look. Your scarf is lovely!

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.

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.

That's a hysterical story about your Mom shocking your daughter! Thinking of Filene's Basement in Boston reminded me of a store in NYC called Loehmann's. Originally it was just one store, in Brooklyn; eventually there were a number of them. At least Loehmann's had dressing rooms (sort of). One giant dressing room, with full-length mirrors placed around the edges of the wall, and a hook beside each mirror. No dividers, no curtains. Just a mirror and a hook. The hook was VERY IMPORTANT. You would put your "finds" on the hook, and that was how you staked out your space. Then you would strip down to as little or as much as made you nervous (you would have taken off your coat; your Mom wouldn't have had ANY trouble!) and tried on clothes. Often, the other ladies around you would chime in with their opinions. And, gosh, they could be RUDE!!!

Am I the only transpalnted New Yorker here who remembers Loehman's?

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!)
Click to expand...
The Atout has a very interesting sleeve fold that allows the chain to slip through it. The game necklace is a simple toggle clasp. They eork quite well together and it doesn't come apart when I carry it.

Welcome to the thread lanit! :drinks:
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!
Click to expand...

That's correct. Black 29 ghw. It is now glued to my shoulder almost perpetually. I would totally go for a Gold in the same size as a second for Summer with phw. I am glad I went for black first.

SORRY, EVERYONE, I've been away and literally had work piled high to go through. Still have but getting there. I will enjoy reading through your recent posts in the hear future.

Last night I was invited to a charity dinner at the Gucci table *blush*. It was so kind of them to ask me, the food was by one of London’s only Michelin Star female chefs and if I never eat another meal - fine. DH was fairly well behaved too and wearing Gucci shoes and scarf (but carrying MJ bag). I was practically top to toe Gucci but (I hope) subtely so. Pics tomorrow but I did my bit for sustainability and too my 2002 Horse-bit Chain Clutch and mixed it with newer pieces.

Luv ya!

Bag for this past werk..Lindy 25 Verso (thanks Morebags for reminding me of the name!)
This is gold with the red interior with the GHW. I discovered this while at the 2018 H national meeting In Las Vegas with Lanit & company at Crystals. Had to have it! I am a total sucker for contrast interiors. I really really like the end pockets..2 on inside and 2 outside

Here is the bag spill View attachment 4678941
It took remarkable determination and stamina to get this Venice pochette, which has the cobalt interior that matches the tab and the water! I changed out my wallet as part of my weekly SLG commitment. This is a YSL from the Tom Ford (I think this is this right) And the rest of my usual stuff.

Here she is, all loaded up..see the pockets? I liked using her so much that I may not switch for this coming week.

Where do you store all those prams?? I had 5 strollers at one point - and they took up WAY too much room in my garage.
Click to expand...

We live in an old train station building with a huge yard and adjoining buildings. The prams live in a former grain storage building. This sounds grand, but isn´t at all. All the buildings are in dire need of a lot of work. We live in a very makeshift way, but with a lot of room at hand.
Some prams are in the house, too, mainly in my room where they double as "cupboards".

I don´tknow whether it is allowed to put the link in here. No handbags involved. I have a website for my absolutely uncommercial collection (no pram that comesto me will ever be sold. They are at home, now!): https://prachtstueckwerk.weebly.com/

I love the stories about these fabulous old shops you are sharing! Now to travel back in time and go shopping there! I´m usually very insecure about my body, but when it comes to trying something on I really want there´s no holding back. My daughter hates it when I do this and is even more embarrassed when I ask people around me - who most definetely have been watching the show- for their opinion on the fit of the garment.
