Guyssssss! I'm coming in here but I don't have the right theme, but I wanted to say I'm so into this and doing something similar right now on Instagram. I started a new hashtag #stayhomewithbags since majority of us are staying home (well those of us that can). Now is the best time to shop our own closets and bring out the bags we adore, and take pics of them in our houses!

You can follow our instagram to see each bag I share (going to be doing 1 bag per day for the foreseeable future). I'm also talking about the bags on Instagram stories which is so weird for me to video myself, but I think it's a great time to do so in the way of helping people shop their closets and stay home and safe (planning to maybe somehow do a youtube video... ). Would love for any of you to follow along! I might do my own thread on the forum so you don't have to go to Instagram if you want to follow too, figuring it out!

I know you like car themes and car shows, have you thought about a Harvey's Seatbelt CNG?
Harvey's is my current obsession. They make all their bags out of seatbelts, and they have a keychain on a strap that I like - it's long enough to fit on my wrist, has a clip so I can attach it to a d-ring inside a bag, and a very sturdy key ring itself.

I looked it up @Vintage Leather and really love their key chain! Now to find out how to source one in Germany . Thank-you! My spouse is the real car person in our home, but his enthousiasm is rubbing off a bit on me. I still can´t tell one vintage from the other, but when I see them there are always some I really like to look at... (he is about the same when it comes to handbags...)

Would you show us the Leiber Minaudiere, please? It sounds so exciting!

Yesterday , I was searching for a camera bag but all the ones I like did not have a long enough strap drop. I was looking on posh and saw an MK that was the right size and length. I didn't really mean to buy it. It was new with tags and I shot an offer of 30 percent off. I should have just hit the like button so I could compare it to the better brands ,but suddenly I got an accepted offer. So I guess I bought it. If I like it I will continue to look at the higher end ones to find one that is right for me. If it doesn't work I will sell or gift it .

...oops... keeping my fingers crossed for you that you actually like the bag! Sometimes the most spontaneous purchases are the best.

During lockdown/shelter in place, I am staying positive, i get up, do yoga, shower get dressed put on makeup, as though I'm going in the office to include taking a work bag with me in my home office. I'm trying very hard to stay positive. especially with the doom and gloom reports from back home NYC, and the news(i've started watching the news less and less) TPF, you ladies on this thread, and others have really helped me to stay upbeat. I'm really worried about my family especially my mom who is a nurse at an NYC hospital, has been on the front lines, and she's showing flu like and cannot get a test to rule anything out as officials are denying her testing due to shortages. I try not to view the footage of what is happening at her place of work because I break down in sobs when I do. With that being said i appreciate you guys company and of all the pretty purses on here! :flowers::heart:

Keodi, that is so dreadful about your mother. She is truly a hero. I hope that she will be alright and recover quickly. Glad that you find some distraction here. I feel like we are a small family!

Thanks! I found the gold and taupe CW of VdP from a French seller - I think it's a gorgeous scarf. The Au Coeur de la Vie is from 2007 - black background, the design is mostly green with pink and lavender - I wish I knew the actual CW because I do like to know that. Very pretty and I love green!
I'll pop a picture on here in a sec! Okay - here it is - the light is very poor though

Something like that happened to me. I sent in a low offer and immediately regretted it. Then it was accepted, but at least it was cheap. I bought a bag to keep me busy restoring it.
