2020 resolution - shopping my own bag and wallet collection. Any one else?

How pretty! Lavender lining inside that grey is a brilliant idea. Yum.

I was tempted by the Flor leather, but ultimately passed on it. I wish I could have seen it in person. Does it have a texture? Is the Flor design stamped on it?

Thank you!
It does have a texture, like tiny beads. The silver seems flatter, while the black feels like beading. The gray is like a very fine suede.


I have been interested in a Plume, but didn’t want to get one and then find it doesn’t work for me. This is close in shape; I’ll see how I like it and - well - if I do, I might get another in a different type of leather.

It’s beautiful, congratulations. I like the contrast lining and back slip pocket, so thoughtful. Is that a pineapple pouch - so cute!

Thank you! The back slip pocket is perfect for my phone - I hate searching for it and I rarely use the pockets inside a purse. The pineapple pouch is new - I found it on Maui. It’s made by Aloha Collection, and is 100% coated Tyvek. I felt like I needed a slightly bigger pouch with a little bit of flex to it.

Yes! Your reveal pics made me think of Plume, too. The leather looks so interesting.

I have a ton of room in there still, I even switched to my full sized Silk’in! It’s so light weight too!

very nice! I love the colour and pattern!

I've replaced them in keychains (purse charms.) I bought the crystals on ebay from this seller: https://www.ebay.com/usr/iheartcrystals2?_trksid=p2047675.l2559
but you might be able to find a seller nearer to you.
Don't use super glue as it clouds the crystals. I used E6000 glue.

Thank-you! I´ll try to find the glue and track down some gemstones here in Germany. I think i saw a listing, only have to exactly measure the stones to get the right size.

 

[cowgirlsboots]

Thanks. You are so clever being able to do all those alterations. I wouldn’t have the skills or patience! I’m sure it’s a great way to get what you really want and something that suits you. I’ll have to stick to the sales!

Thank-you! I fear my skills aren´t the best all the time...there´s a lot of makeshift going on plus as already my Mum used to make my clothes and later told me to make my own if I wanted something expensive I have developped a kind of lack of appreciation for things homemade. For me something shop bought will always have that special air of glamour, though the items I can afford are usually not the quality I want making me return to preloved and altered... I´m not an elfin and proper fit is always a bit tricky, too.

I’m sure what you do is amazing with preloved and altered.
I’m not elfin either - a total pear in fact! The good thing about bags is that they don’t need to be adjusted to suit changing size. They don’t judge, care or make comment!

Miss Allie - my one green bag.
View attachment 4679630
I rarely carry her, she feels very lady-like and formal. I haven’t figured out how to carry her more casually - I’ve tried with jeans and it just feels wrong.
I do love this bag though, so she’s not going anywhere.
My goal for March is to carry her a few times.
Do we have any goals yet for March?

That green is just stunning!!

Nothing beats shopping your bag closet with barenia. It is the one leather I can’t release.in Barenia Fauborg.

Absolutely stunning dear! Barenia is the greatest thing.

Oh that does look like an H strap! Both bag and strap are really lovely ❤️!

My watch has a Coach Tearose Strap to which I’m rather attached. Here shown with my tearose dinky.

Anyone else matching bag with other leather accessories?

I try but do not do as well as this! How cute!

Clashing metal! Mulberry lily with silver and MK jacket with gold zips. Sorry if its distressing! I didn’t think it would work but I thought it looked fine!
View attachment 4681692

This is so chic!! I didn't even notice the metals.

My Pico is an 18 Vibrato with Thalassa blue handles. So cute!
Here’s that picture - it’s not a great picture, but you get the idea! (And that’s a Champagne bottle - cheers!)

Love seeing your little Pico!

Wasn’t the origin of the pico, a horse feeder? Your vibrato is so cool!
View attachment 4681854
The champagne bottle looks like it’s wearing a spa robe Are those Gucci loafers on dapper DH? That’s some carpet

So cool to see this

I am usually super obsessed about matching colors of metals. I forced myself to get over it because I found a pair of earring jackets with a halo of bezel set diamonds - in yellow gold. My favorite pair of studs are platinum.

However, when I put them together, they looked like little flowers.


That is the cutest champagne bucket in the history of champagne.

I'd love to see the earrings!

Thanks for all your kind comments. I totally love that leather jacket. Lucked out when I found it a half price in an MK sale a few years ago. It’s got such incredibly soft leather which is so easy to wear. The style and cut with the gold zips works better for me than a traditional biker jacket. I’m happy with the hardware clash but I also like to go all gold with jewellery and bags. Here with Mini Amberley. Looks less gold in that light for some reason.

This bag is awesome as well!

Really difficult day at work, now browsing the internet for relaxation, feeling very tempted. Keep thinking a belt bag would be good for travelling but never completely sure.

This is in the sales so it says “buy me” on it just like Alice in Wonderland’s “Eat Me”. We all know how that worked out for her. Must switch off phone instead of chasing rabbits (or bags in this case!) .

I've been sick (again) this entire week. My daughter had croup, I think I gave her my cough from last week that got considerably worse this week. I got sick kid sitters (that is a thing that I never knew about!) for W-F this week, after my husband and I juggled Tuesday with work, and it made it so much easier that she was entertained and I could work and rest without having to stress about worrying about her too. It makes the end of the week so much sweeter that we are both feeling better, and that I completed my first full (20 hour) week of work!

Also to make this Friday sweeter, I was sent a completely surprise package from Hermes. I bought my third mini Roulis on Monday and asked to pick it up in store next week. I got a package in the mail today and was surprised they would send the bag since I asked them to have it sent to the store. I opened it up and it had an orange H bag with a white folder and 2 packages inside. The folder contained two letters about the new lipstick collection and they sent me a sampling of 8 lipsticks from the new line, including the balm, 3 limited edition shades, and the orange poppy lip shine!! I was in shock. It was incredibly sweet of my store, who won't be getting the line until summer. There are a few shades in there that I likely won't use and will gift to my sister, Mom, and a friend, but it's all so beautiful. I'll still pick up a few of the more nude/neutral colors, but that truly ended the week on an amazing note!

I didn't use any bags this week except my Chanel 19 because I was mostly home sick. But I will post a picture of my new B this weekend!

Thank you for the close-up of the leather. It's fascinating! I wonder if MM will make it available again?

That slip pocket option is terrific! I love the back slip pocket I had him put on my Luna. I agree with you… so convenient for a phone, and saves frantic digging when a call comes through.

Oh, ugh... so sorry you’ve been sick. Between being sick, and working, and taking care of your little daughter with croup, you must be exhausted.

The little H gifts came at exactly the right time. I’ve been reading about their new lipsticks. I need another lipstick like I need an extra eyebrow, but there’s a neutral pinkish one that’s speaking to me. I hope the SF boutique gets them in by the fall!

Sorry to hear you’ve been unwell. Hope you are all better now. Sick children sitters sound great - they are just grandparents in my world. Everyone seems to be talking about this virus with potential school closures, massive work from home and self isolation preparations reported in the UK which is a bit scary even if it hasn’t happened yet. Probably just media stuff so far but we will see soon enough what’s next.

Wow, that’s a lovely gift to receive and a great pick you up. You must have a great relationship with your H store to be treated like that! You’ve got several H bags from recall haven’t you? Can we see new one?

That Flor is such a special leather and your bag is gorgeous!! I’m tempted by Marco’s special leathers, trying hard not to succumb.
