How about once a week or whenever we post a bag either one you have or one you want and then tell us about it . Ask any question you have on it or just to give it some love etc.

Thats a great idea - there are bags I have and love, and bags I’m curious about... Love it!

They are already packed, but the three are a vintage 1967 Leiber Chatelaine, a Balenciaga Twiggy, and a Harveys Seatbelt Donald bag.

Just a thought: What if we did at least one showcase of "most used COVID bags" and why. I would truly love to see what people are wearing and using during this time (even if it is just a plastic grocery bag!). I know that my bag usage has really shifted and I have found myself using bags that I might not use every day otherwise.

This would be fun (pocket shots :giggle: as I often just stuck my drivers license and debit card in my pocket), I definitely need inspiration! That said, I have tracked what bags I’ve worn and it would be interesting to see what has been worn the most since February.

It´s definetely your fault @Cookiefiend... last night I fell in the black hole called "wallet search" and actually found something that I liked and that seems to make sense for me. Found a bargain price today after more research and ordered it...

Hooray!
I mean - whoops! :giggle: :angel: :giggle:
I’m going to list 2 more wallets - that will leave me with The H Silk’in (full-size wallet), the 2 Mulberrys, the lovely Maui wallet, and the Kate Spade CC case.

I don´t have any designer wallets (oops, I do, the small Dior from the Trailer Trash collection) and normally only use my standard very big, two zip compartment brick of a red wallet. It´s by I.Credi... household brand, but at least nice real leather and good quality as I´ve been using it for years. There´s another red big wallet by the same brand, but only one zip compartment, I use for travelling when I don´t carry all my stuff. For smaller bags I have a 3/4 big wallet by abro- red of course and the leather is yummy! I used to have quite a few vintage Goldpfeil wallets from the time there were no card slots I never used and sold over the time.

Here´s last night´s purchase. The brand is Esquire. I hope to be able to use the phone pocket for storing things I like to carry safely but don´t have to access all the time.

That sounds like a great idea.

OMG...I am in love with a coat!
Thank-you glossy magazine advertising, I´m drooling over something that´s completely out of my league. Still: this coat is gorgeous! (Louis Vuitton, the website says it´s 6000 Euro)

You could try find a similar vintage.
(I really do not like that Birkin Shoulder lookalike thing LV has going on there....)

In August I bought 1 bag - a BV Veneta in "silvery" from Vestiaire. I really can't tell if it was originally all silvery (as the seams would suggest) and the body darkened, or if it started more bronze-y, but it's definitely not silver per se. I was contemplating sending it back, but the BF says it's the most beautiful purse he's ever seen, so who am I to argue? :) I pretty much carried it all of August.

Out went many bags (ok, they're sitting in donation bags by the door), none very memorable or expensive enough to sell. I also have a pile to give to my best friend in CA and to my mom in WA, when and if I ever make it back to the States.

September 1 was, uh, not so good. I picked up the Longchamp Le Pliage Cuir in pale gray, which I like very much despite the redesign :rolleyes: and was looking for a Neo Shopper L in light gray for summer tossing around, but it was apparently out of season - boo. Instead I bought one in Nordic, which is a mid-grayish-blue, which will work. Then I got home and realized I'd forgotten to look for a dark red Neo Shopper L and bought one on Ebay. :facepalm: (At least it was 1/2 the shop price.) There are also sellers for the light gray but they're all in the US, at full price, and I just don't want to deal with customs.

The pale gray Cuir will replace the "pebble" as, elegant as the color is, it just bugs me. Perhaps for sale, perhaps to my mom. Decisions are too hard today. :)
