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? :smile: 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. :smile:
Wow - it must be beautiful for the BF to actually comment! :heart:
 
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)

Oh, that coat is a beauty. I have a bit of a thing for coats, as my entire family likes to point out to me.
 
Coming clean here with my summer (June-August) Bag Stats by adding some other "truths" (Hoping this pushes me):
Bags In: 4
Bags Out: 1
Bags listed for sale: 1
Bags that I have been preparing to sell for months but haven't due to laziness: 5

I was surprised by the number of bags I bought during lockdown. Believe it or not, though, I've used all of them.
 
I don’t know why but that Daisy and Donald bag just made my day! Why are they headless?
The other side of the bag has their heads.

But it’s just not as cute as the duck butts!
It’s actually a companion to a bag they made eight years ago with Mickey and Minnie kissing on one side, and their shoes on the other
 
The Leiber evening bag is to die for! A piece of art! Do you wear her or is she a showcase object? Your two other bags are lovely, too!
Well, I haven’t had an excuse to wear her yet. Darn Covid.

I have a small Leiber collection, and they are on display And I admire them daily. In normal years, I or my mother or a limited number of family members with borrowing privileges will carry each bag about one to two times a year.

That is very generous of you. I no longer lend bags as one came back with pen marks. That was years ago but I just don’t lend them anymore.
 
You could try find a similar vintage.
(I really do not like that Birkin Shoulder lookalike thing LV has going on there....)

oh,I think I have more than one vintage lambskin coat in the same style... and some vintage leather coats I could pimp with a big fur collar... but this one is the real thing.... drool.... I´m hopeless. Last time I fell like this for a coat was when Prada launched that shearling coat with the red fur... I drooled and drooled and searched the preloved market, but of course it never turned up.

Coats are my soft spot, too. I definetely own far more than I could ever wear. All vintage, though. A few weeks ago when it was really hot I actually bought a 60ies black wool coat- who cares about hot summer when there´s a perfectly fine winter coat avialable for 5 Euro? My family had a good laugh!

I remember my mom having a suede coat with fur on the inside and a huge fur collar. That was the prettiest coat. I wish she had given it to me.
 
Sorry, my brain is a sieve... who was looking for a black quilted bag with gold hardware to make up for the Miss dior desaster? Was that you @Sparkletastic? I just looked through the PurseBlog and saw the post on the Bally Viva. If I was after gold hardware this would be a contestant (in several years when it hits the preloved market...)

Bally is a good brand to buy preloved. It doesn't hold its value and you can get great bargains.
