Blue week already... time seems to be flying! I´ll do a search for my blue (vintage) bags sometimes during the week. Would have loved to do it today, but had a bad setback:
I opened a wardrobe I very rarely look into and had to notice a mouse have tried to set camp in there .
Fortunately the rodent must have left before having a family, but it had built a nice nest in one of my Technica boots (no harm done to the boot!) using shreds of some full length dresses that hung to the floor of the wardrobe for padding. I still could cry! The wardrobe had a good cleaning, but 4 of my vintage dresses have major issues now. I spent hours trying to fix a lovely 40ies "Dirndl" and still have not finished the job.

Of course I checked the adjacent shelves where some my bags sit, too- no traces of mice- sigh of relief!
The beast must have loved the peace behind closed doors (and a big crack in the rear wall of the wardrobe for easy access) . I´m tempted to remove the doors, now.

Maybe just puts piece of wood over the hole in the back.

Can you seal that hole? I had a similar problem but thank God was in an patio closet. I called someone to close the hole and put something under the door to seal it so no more mice would come in. There were some mice wondering in the back patio but after putting traps they died down. Good luck

So sorry to hear about the mouse in the house and the damage to your dresses. :yucky::crybaby:
 
For blue week I have same 3 bags as last year plus 2 new bags I purchased over 2019
- blue atoll birkin 30
- blue st cyr kelly cut
- blue Brighton mini roulis
- blue indigo birkin 25
- blue du nord kelly 28
5 years I did not like blue bags but came to realize they got well with my wardrobe and added the ones above in last 5 years.
Great range of blues!

When I'm blue !!! The denim keep all bag, goyard bellachasse tote, chanel deauville, hermes saddle bag, limited edition faure le page heart grenade bag.
Wonderful blue bags. I haven’t seen the denim Keepall before, it’s a cool bag!
 
Ladies, I wanted to come here to share a purchase that I’m torn about but am 90% certain I will not follow through with. I tried this Chanel mini yesterday at the mall and I fell in love with the adjustable chain. I wear my Chanel 19 the most of all my bags (it’s an actual daily wearer to take my daughter to daycare, run errands, etc), and I know I would use this often. I do already have a number of small sized bags, but only the mini Lindy is black. I love this bag and am feeling pangs about not getting it, but I also know that I don’t need it and I’d rather just spend my money at H.

Totally understand! I was feeling that way towards a Louis Vuitton bag that I saw. I told my SA no and put a reminder on my phone to fast handbags and focus on Hermès. I feel like I can never get the freaking bag because I get off track. So this year I started focusing on my relationship with my Hermès SA and not allow anymore distractions. It is so hard, I know! Focus on the goal!!! You can do it
