Yes! I love the handle too… it's the thing that made me goThat bag in your top picture, on the left… is that the Torii bag? I love, love, LOVE the handle!
But you can see how narrow it is at the bottom - my phone and epi-pen barely fits in it. Maybe I should use it as a bookend for all my Pearl Buck books?
The last necklace looks unique and gorgeous!
I’ve also been looking at a lot of pieces in my jewel box and trying to figure out what I should do with them. It’s not skrinkage, per se. I like smaller pieces. It’s just that I have a lot of overlap and not a lot of reasons to wear them.
It’s really not worth it to resell the pieces. So I’m looking at remaking them into something more wearable
It’s like with black bags or totes or most of the things we talk about on this thread. It’s about using what you love.
Thanks for the poem. Sometimes we have to remember to be nice to ourselves.
The problem for me is not having a cookie or two - instead I have like 5 or 10!
I personally like to wear it on my arm most of the time, (especially when I’m on the go) but the strap is definitely long enough to wear on your shoulder and stays put, despite my large, sloping shoulders.
Oh nice! Thanks for the pictures - it does look like there's a long enough drop!
Hrmmmm…. shouldn't look, I don't need another black bag - but i love that red interior!
I'll just peek…
The bag deserves to be cared for.
I did a bit of research into the brand and am very impressed.
At the time my bag was made Seeger Offenbach was a small top notch company, only using the best materials and catering even to the Pope.
In 1992 the company was sold to Montblanc, the Seeger brand name disappeared.
It came back onto the market in 2009 when the employees found an investor to resurrect the Seeger company instead of being closed down as Montblanc was moving their production to Italy.
Again top notch leather goods were produced. Unfortunately they only lasted for 2 years.
The name was sold to a new company, the Offenbach factory closed for good.
I have been aggressively curating my jewelry collection the past few years - both culling and upgrading as I did with my bags.
I agree that it’s FAR more of a hassle to sell jewelry than bags and the return is awful. I gifted most of what I didn’t want - mostly to DD and a few other pieces to one of my close friends. I still have 10 pieces I am trying to sell and it’s sloooooow going. For example, I listed a one carat halo diamond ring that I thought would sell super quickly for engagements. Nope. It’s been listed for over a year and nothing. DD doesn’t want it because we gave her a diamond solitaire rhr when she was in college and as a single girl she doesn’t wear a solitaire on her left hand. So, it languishes in my jewelry box and online. I don’t know how to best offload jewelry.
I’m thinking it may be best for me to just restyle it into a pendant or something. <sigh>This is so me. I don’t get tempted by much of anything but coooookiiiieeees!! I don’t like chocolate but sugar cookies, snickerdoodles and French macaroons bring me to my knees.Thanks for the poem. Sometimes we have to remember to be nice to ourselves.
