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

Oh my goodness! I’m in love with the new Mulberry jewellery line. I’m not meant to be buying bags but jewelleryView attachment 4686420
What do you think of this bracelet? Publicity shot from website. Comes in pink leather too.

I think it is kind of cool . My only worry would the finish chip off with wear as dangling bracelets tend to bump things constantly on me.

That is totally gorgeous! I love it. ❤️

Thank you!

Oh my, I’m overwhelmed by these bags! That Bal is fabulous!

Thank you.

I bought this Bal about 5 years ago. I saw pix of it here on tPF and thought it would be a perfect size for me, but it had been discontinued. Thank goodness for trusted reseller sites! I also was pleased to find one with the giant rose gold hardware, which (naturally!) had also been discontinued.

Ahhh - it was the leather that I remembered! So sorry I had the wrong style though!
I love this one, it’s a tad bigger than the PM - yes?
(It’s not like I carry a lot, but what I *do* carry - I need... plus if I can’t get Mr Cookie’s wallet in it - you know what he’ll call it! )

Yes, plus it's open on the top (except for the center zipper which… duh… zips) so it also is more accessible. Probably not as good a bag for city or public transport use, but I live in a tiny town and I either walk or drive.

Here's the interior of the bag, showing the center zipped divider. Love the surprise of the lining!

I had a Bal in that same color, a small crossbody, don’t remember the name, which ended up the color of the handle stitches in yours, like extremely distressed denim. That was a serviceable bag.

"Serviceable" is a good name for my bag! It is FOR SURE not a bag I'd carry when I'm dressed up. It pairs very well with faded jeans, though.

I don't have a Pochette Métis, but I do have that color & leather. It's a Montaigne BB…

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.

This is a cute bag and it looks fantastic on you - yes, to the adjustable strap! How would this bag fit within your total collection? Does it fill a gap, does it overlap with existing bags, do you like it more than bags you already own and carry? How would this addition fit with your current goals and the bags you’ve recently added? I love all the bags you’ve shown us, you’ve got great taste and everything looks fabulous on you. Good luck with your decision.

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

Congratulations on your restraint. I hope the bag you’re waiting for arrives soon.

Pretty blues!

Thank you @baghabitz34

My favorite color and my favorite hardware color too. Both are lovely!

Thanks for your kind words dc!

Beautiful blues!
We rarely hear about the So Kelly - how do you like it? I've looked at them but thought they might be too deep and I'd lose things in the bottom of the bag - even with pouches!

Thank you Cookie! I like my So Kelly a lot. I have the So Kelly in the smaller size, 22, there is also a larger size, 26. I would describe it as a slim bucket bag that sits on my shoulder and fits close against my body. Depth wise, it is the same depth as my Evelyne PM. When I use a full size wallet, it stands up nicely, rather than laying it flat on the bottom. There is an interior zip pocket and an interior slip pocket, some could find the zipper pocket handy since the bag has an open top. I just put everything in the big open space. If I need more room to get an item out I can easily undo one of the sangles to give my hand more access. It is quite secure with the sangles done up. It fits everything I carry on a daily basis and I can also fit a Leuchtturm A5 Medium Hardcover notebook. The other delight with my So Kelly 22 is the Bleu Izmir (turquoise shade) contrast interior. The So Kellys don’t do well for resale so bargains can be found in the resale market. Hope it helps!

oooooh very nice!

Thank you! DH and I went out to lunch today at an upscale restaurant, and I carried this bag. I realized that I don't carry it nearly often enough… definitely time to let it see some sunlight!

For me which color? Need quick reponse

Thanks for all your help. I ended up getting the black one . I really liked the taupe too . I was looking at less expensive satchel and then msd reminded someone to not settle. So I went to mulberry to see if it was in my budget. I got lucky so I bought it.

Congratulations dc, both bags are lovely. I am glad you got the one that goes with your wardrobe and complements your existing collection.

Black!
But I am not an etoupe person at all.

Loving all the blue bags!

I have been tidying up and kondo-ing this weekend. Very happy with myself. I am not going to pretend everything I own is in this wardrobe. But it is getting pretty close.
Two of those drawers are currently empty by the way .

@doni what a gorgeous picture of your wardrobe, just stunning! Congratulations on empty drawers and the kondo-ing success. I adore your Plume!
May I ask, between your Constance, Verrou and Classic Box, which one do you carry more often?

Late post: Feb 16 week. Can you tell I'm a red person!!! Lol. Chanel double flap, Hermes: birkin 25, Kelly Ado, mini evelyne, silk n wallet , Alexander McQueen tote, Gucci: exotic dionysus, disco bag, tote, LV: alma, giant neverfull, longchamp: limited edition Paris bag, and a backpack.

Thank you for sharing your red collection, total eye candy! I love the variety of functions, styles and brands. I would also have asked which ones you carry most often and I see others have beat me to that so I will skip ahead and look for your response. Absolutely stunning reds!

My blues .... I will make a decision to use them this month. I think I used the Antigona twice only .... ugh. It’s really stiff. I wear my Pochette Métis A LOT. Plan yo get another color.

Beautiful blue collection, I like the variety of styles and shades. Thanks also for the PM review of what it holds, it sounds spacious.
