Thanks Keodi! I will post analysis on the Belt after a week of carrying it about.
Thanks! I will see what I can scare up in my wardrobe that could carry off this very ladylike bag. My usual t-shirt and Athleta do get “dressed up” with scarves, so there might be hope. I think it’s the shoes that are key here. Stan Smith’s just won’t do it.
Love this whole palette
Nice! The Neverfull really is such a useful bag. I only like wearing LV canvas in small dosis (i.e., clutches) for some reason. But I have my mum’s mono NF and I have to admit it is so well designed, I am forever searching for a Neverfull which is not the Neverfull.
Beautiful new Belt, brown rules.
I don’t know about you all, but end of August, despite the weather being mild, the approach of school term always has me considering my Fall wardrobe and what new additions are needed (the correct answer is none, but I am very good at arguing). This year I am all for zooming on the brown color family, and reinforcing my closet with shades of saffron, rust and caramel. I love that nowadays, with the concept of seasons becoming increasingly irrelevant in the runways, you can buy Winter clothing in the Summer sales, and I am currently eyeing some knitwear and shoes at Acne Studios. Well, and a burnt orange blazer (I cannot help myself... and I already got a blazer in dark camel in the local Maje sale, a bargain; someone please explain to me that in this time and age, the last thing I need is another blazer).
So how is your Fall/Winter game looking for those of you in the Northern hemisphere (and for the rest, I am also interested!)?
Ha! That is so true! But seriously, why fight it? The Neverfull is perfect for what it is. I’d carry it everyday but I do have to carry all the other bags I “had to have”. If I had to keep just one bag...(oh the horror)..the Neverfull might be a serious contender!
Re: fall/winter wardrobe game...I can’t play. I aspire to be one who updates my wardrobe every season but I’m really more of a uniform person. It used to be suits..loved those, still do...but now, T-shirt’s & Capri pants rule. Perhaps a scarf and jacket/coat, if cool enough. And shoes..hmm, this has become a real problem. I’ve become heel-lazy so it’s now sneakers or fancy flats, if I make an effort. WTH has happened?
for those days and outfits when nothing else will do, perfect!
Very much turned autumnal here all of a sudden. Mentally, I'm not really prepared. Wardrobe wise I'm just adding a jumper (sweater) cardigan over my Summer dresses etc. Wearing a Christmas jumper in August is a bit odd but it went with my hippy-dippy look and colours.
I had to take-in a Gucci silver necklace to be repaired. The one I took in was a replacement for the last with the same problem.
So naturally I bought a ring while I was there
NO COMMENT.
I went to H to look at new season scarves too. I liked 4 but not the SA in Selfridges, he told me he didn't like one of my scarf choices.
Anyway a new 'SLG' came home with me from Liberty (dept store) a flat, floral, cotton velvet pouch mostly to carry around my new facemark from Woolford (silk, reversible and breathable - the difference is amazing). It was from Rockett St George and not expensive. Even though it has a zipper, it's big enough to carry silk carres around too without worrying about snagging - if this epidemic ever ends. I was going to show you via their website but they don't seem to be up there. Missed opportunity. I'll take a pic another time.
anyway ETAIN side out DS (thank you, @More bags for the Etain inspiration) and usual Evie for company, love both these bags.

That SA in Selfridge's - he didn't like your choices FOR YOUR COLORING? or he thought you didn't chose the most wonderful designs, or what? I'm trying to imagine this conversation and I can't. LOL.
The black margarita was the best part!The second photo is priceless: "Still Life With Wicker & Face Mask"
Thanks! The handle reminds me of @papertiger's fab Gucci bags.
Merci!
Thank you. Let us know if you succumb to the temptation!Love it!!!I didn’t like wicker handbags when I first joined the forum. Now I’m hungry to have one!!!
Thank you!I love your Gray family!
it's beautiful!
Thank you, I agree! Don't mind it taking up space on the shelf.
Thank you
Here's the story in detail (apologies in advance)
1. Firstly we had to wait to see someone for around 20 mins to show us scarves. Fair enough, but we had to wait and he was rushing us from the start. It was late in the day for us too and we weren't paid to be there.
2. Most scarves were folded as per usual in the glass cabinets. He decided to show me scarves I asked for on his iPad. I'd seen them on the computer, I went to the store to see them IRL. Eventually he got out the scarf I was most sure of, I told him 3 times how different the Les Dance de Amozones 02 Vieux Rose/Vert/Bordeaux was from the online pics, and yet, he kept wanting to go back to the iPad.
3. Hated me holding up the scarves to the mirror - hard enough I'm looking at (not trying on) scarves with a mask on. Rush, rush. People all around were holding modelling bags and SLGs.
4. I asked him to keep back LDdA 02. He put it away twice. He said it was not good, a "sad" colouration and that the others I looked at were better (Orange/Brun/Blanc & Bleu Marine/Rouge/Violet). I surmised the 02 was probably his last and hugely popular and the others were harder sellers.
5. I liked a couple of other silks but wasn't sure of which La Legende de la Foret scarves (06 or 07). He sighed.
6. I liked a couple of the Plumes CSGMs. Because I hadn't made my mind up about the La Legende de la Forets, he thought he should make my mind up about the Plumes and kept pushing towards the white (fair enough but a) I already have the silk and b) does it say AW wardrobe?).
7. The other person I was with was more irate about Monsieur 'I'm so French, why don't you do what I tell you' than I was. Suddenly, getting laundry detergent seemed more important, I was not having a nice time.
8. We left.

Thanks! I really didn’t realize until I posted the group of browns, that I had so many browns that I like and use so much! Here is a photo of a cool girl (not me, if only...) with her “yummy cookie” Baylee. I really like the large size as it looks best when slouchiest.
Thanks msd_bags! I think they released the calfskin in 2015/2016 seasons. I see mostly the drummed and pebbled leather as their resilience probably made them were more popular. Generally, my preference is smooth calfskin (just like I prefer the plush carpeting in which you see the footprints post vacuuming)
Here’s the ad campaign..don’t you think this is my bag? I find her imagery interesting..not trendy, not “pretty pretty” a la Valentino, not “sexy” a la Dolce or Gucci, not “glamorous” a la Dior, not “cool” a la YSL..more of a refined practical, more like H, only different but I can’t quite put my finger on it.
Thank you

Oh wait, you were at the San Francisco Chanel boutique?
Thank you 880. Our area is not close to the burn area (closest is about 40 miles away) though we are surrounded by 3 big ones so unless the wind comes in exactly from the west through the Golden Gate, we get smoke from the S, the SE, the NE. These were startled by the freak lightning that I’d never seen in all my years here. I read that one of the fires by ElainePG, in Big Sur was arson. Next 2 months, we go into hot, dry Santa Ana wind conditions..ugh. I wonder which bags I’d grab if I had to evacuate..
