LOL!
IKR?! Ugh! It was worse when I was pregnant. I had a belly and thighs and butt. Everything was just big. I looked like the Michelin Man. :lol:I’ve never seen either. Sounds like good back to back quarantine binge watching.
Sales really are terrible. :frown: I feel lucky I sold the one bag. I have little hope that the jewelry and Chanel tote I have listed will sell any time soon.

I had a Prada bag that was shaped like the Bolide but a closer to the LV Alma. I adored that bag but it just didn’t work for me. I’m hesitant to wear logoed bags professionally. But it was too big for what I carry in my private life. And the top handle was a little fussy. With no strap and it’s size, it needed its own chair when I went out. Lol! But, gosh. I loved that bag and miss it.

Oh dear, I don't know the feeling of missing a bag. That would be awful. What do you miss about that Prada? At least the Bolide can take a strap, which adds to its usefulness.

Thank you! Amazon is slow on shipping items like this, but I found a similar one on the Tweezerman site.

Buuuuuut… I asked Mr. PG if he'd trust me to cut his hair, and he said that yes, he'd trust me, but "Why don't we just let it grow for a while and see what it looks like?" I didn't have the heart to tell him that it already isn't a good look, so I just said "Yes, dear." After all, it's not as though anyone but me is gonna see him… :angel:

Let him relive his hippie days. :P

I sold my bal bag since I felt it was dated for me. It felt youthful and I had basically replaced it with my pink picotin.
The only 2 bags I want to sell now are my last 35 Birkin, I find this large size looks very dated on me and I don’t need the size, and my fendi b bag, which is for sure dated. I will have to wait to re-list them since they are in transit but hope to sell both this year! Then I will have no bags I feel are dated in my collection.

What kind of B35?

Tan and Brown bags...

let´s start in the 40ies:

There´s no makers badge in this brittle beauty.

another very old croc bag

View attachment 4708935


Welcome to the 50ies!
this one is a German GABOR bag- new old stock and sooo cute! The shoes are Zara, but they do the trick.

The next one is from the 60ies. It´s a German MÄDLER (the company that did the fine luggage, too) bag. The shoes are contemporary, again (when worn they match the bag very nicely!)

View attachment 4708927



That´s luxury! I have no idea who gave me this beautiful croc bag. It´s of highest quality inside out!

Still from the 60ies, but moc croc. This bag came to me in the saddest state and instantly came back to life after I literally bathed it in Ballistol oil. It might not look very exciting, but is so nice to use- roomy and absolutely hard-wearing!

Staying in the 60ies here´s my every day JAGUAR handbag

Moving on to the 70ies: German Goldpfeil suede bag that looks much nicer in the wild than in this photo.

Same!:lol:


Thank you! :heart:

interesting take on the bolide, I don't blame you on not listing it .sales are dismal at the moment..I'm curious in your experience what made the bolide impractical to use?

It may just be that my Bolide is too big for my life. If I were carrying around more documents and stuff it would be perfect. There's a smaller size, which might be better, and maybe in a softer leather.

My aesthetic in bags seems to veer wildly from 40-something advertising executive in a large city, to small town kindergarten teacher. Half my bags are elegant, minimalist, and designer while the other half are wildly colorful, hard wearing, and unique. I also have a few bags from other times in my life, that I don't carry because they no longer fit with my aesthetic - but which are fashion scrapbooks of another time and place, and which I'm not yet ready to let go of.

Some days, I think that if I could actually figure out what I want to be when I grow up, I could have a much more streamlined, much less stressful bag closet.

The one bag that I do dearly dearly love but is a struggle to carry is by brown box Kelly. I love it. But I've gotten a few really uncomfortable "that's an expensive bag" comments every time I've carried the darn thing. Once, I was wearing full vintage repro, with a few true-vintage pieces (including gloves!), so it almost looked costumey - and still, the "that's an expensive bag, I recognized it." For some reason, Chanel, other H, doesn't get that sort of reaction. I don't get it. But I feel so darn self-conscious that I just can't.

I hate hearing these stories about people who can't keep their mouths shut. Who does this??? So tacky.

I have more brown bags than I thought. Brown isn't one of my favorite colors, although there are few shades I really like. The vintage bags I have in brown because that is the color I found them in and I like it better than black.
I'll try to do this in age order.
1. Coach Bonnie Cashin Carry arm tote. This is a very rare bag from the 1960s.
2. Coach Bonnie Cashin pocket shoulder bag, also extremely rare from the 1960s, although probably not as old as the first one.
3. Coach suede watermelon tote, made in the early 1970s. The style is not rare but it is extremely rare in suede.
4. Coach ranch bag from the early 1990s.
5. Dooney & Bourke AWL satchel, probably from the 1990s.
6. Coach Bleecker large flap, 2007
7. Coach Bleecker woven pocket hobo, 2008
8. Coach Legacy duffle, 2012

ohmy… the Coaches are gorgeous - I love the Ranch bag!
