2020 resolution - shopping my own bag and wallet collection. Any one else?

[cowgirlsboots]

I know, I thought being a new shop they’d may have a lower commission. They did say for items over a certain amount they lower it. But still, I don’t know if it is worth it. I have only sold stuff in VC, I am not that experienced in selling stuff... The first thing I ever thought of selling I did in eBay and the buyer claimed only one of two shipped items in the same box got to them, so I thought never again.
I never shop in eBay either, or I would have grabbed your Lacroix jacket I am sure

Thanks for the mask tip! I just ordered a bunch!
The only ones I can breath in are some Greek linen ones I got, but they are already looking too summery.



It is under wraps but it is this one. Couldn’t find a better pic... the fabric is impossible to describe.
I did wear it a lot after the wedding, specially the blazer.
It was a winter day wedding and I wore it with a burgundy fox stole, purple MiuMiu snakeskin retro platform peeptoes (remember those?) and a MiuMiu clutch with appliqué leather flowers. Ms Sander would have most definitely NOT approved, but a girl can only handle that much minimalism in one go

That´s adorable and definetely looked even better with fur and the MiuMiu shoes! I think you are describing shoes I´ve seen on some photo and added to my internal wishlist immediately. Minimalism has to step aside when diva drama kicks in!

I can only refer to what I read online. It said that in many locations lots of pieces had not sold when the time frame ended. Possibly they did refer to the camo bags... they are quirky, but the leather pieces are much nicer (in my humble opinion.)
The blackout Lady Dior is gorgeous. Classic with a twist!

The background of my google search is a piece I spotted in the classifieds- back into the deep wallet hole.
It´s the gunmetal wallet on chain with the pink stitching. It caught my eye immediately as it sends out "red" vibes even if it is not red. The price seems fair to me and I´m very tempted...

It may have been different where I shopped in Las Vegas. I didn't expect some of those brighter neon bags to sell well but they sold quickly there, possibly not as well to more conservative minded people in other areas.

I’d quite like a winter 70 yes... I tried to check the thread on this season scarves, but it is impossible for me to keep up with that one! So much info I get lost...



Right, that
I actually have a pic...
Classic trench shape, buttery leather.

Ah, how much I love your erudition. I am googling ’tonic weave’ but all I get is hair products . But I think this was different because it is not weaved. The material, in two colors, is sort of pressed together. I want to say kind of like felt, only it feels nothing like felt, it is almost silky.

Nearly all fabric is woven. Even felt is just boiled woven fabric.

The weft and warp on a tonic suit or dress etc are just different colours. Sometimes closely related and sometimes contrasting or even complimentary. In Hermes silk-language they call them changeant basically shifting/changing/variable.

The tonic colour(s) came through in Modernist design in the late-1950s but goes back across the centuries in Gentleman's suiting. Even before modernism, Teds (the Edwardians) of the 1950s had draped suits made from 'two-tone' so they could be even more the peacock male.

Tell me to shut-up but I have been marking so I may be over-explaining everything. Many features of Modernism were resurrected in 1990s minimalism. For both, as embellishment of garments decreased more attention focused on technological innovation of the fabric itself including unusual fabrics. In the late-50s and 1960s men's suits often used fine mohair wool to create the tonic effect since mohair gleams like silk. Another name is 'shot' but generally only used with silk. Sometimes silk is in the mix of tonic suiting too. Raw or Thai silk is often created in tonic and this fabric was often made into shirts (i.e. tonic shirt) dresses or skirts in the 1960s. Jeff Banks brought tonic suiting into womenswear in the late 1970s.

My mother had a Jill Sander 1990s trouser suit in olive/black tonic but got rid of it a long time ago. The significance of the influence of Jill Sanders on '90s fashion is still underestimated so I'm pleased there was an exhibition of her work. I think I appreciate her designs more now far more than then (goodness knows what I was wearing then, but I have recollections of slip dresses with everything).

Edited to correct my appalling grammar (I'm on the phone)

Viva Las Vegas!

Here’s the barenia Pico (smallest size) with various pouches, sunglasses, keys, mask, and the two twilly boxes. The phone would be there too but I used it to take the pix. I keep hand sanitizer in the car, NOT in any good purses, but I wouldn’t be too afraid to slip a small water bottle in the bag.

Congratulations on the trench, you look fabulous, so chic! Definitely meant to be!

The way you styled this suit sounds very glamorous!

I had a Jil Sander pant suit years ago, it was simple black suit. I love the way this jacket nips in at the waist for an elegant line, at least it looks that way on the model.

This. Is. The. Cutest!
Also - want!
For me - this is the best size - you can fit every thing in there! On the Ode to the Pico thread, I posted mine with all the usual stuff and a small bottle of water - it’s just an adorable bag.
And in barenia... zomg. ❤

Seems like the perfect bag for Covid times. And now so useful with your twilly hack! Thanks again

Thanks! I put a few more in for the photo, LOL. Some are for cards and keys at places I work now only virtually.

This is so my cup of tea. Just gorgeous!

Thanks so much. I forgot how much people enjoy bag spill photos!

Are these new? I remember a similar collection from a few years ago. There was a blackout Lady Dior with camo lining that I really loved. There were some neon colors.

That sounds interesting. For some reason, I've never leaned towards camo (or animal prints, for that matter) in clothing, bags or shoes… but a camo print lining would be fabulous!

@Cookiefiend : I got the twillies for my picos! It felt wonderful being in the boutique, even as the only customer. My local store (not big) doesn’t have any new season stuff, and they haven’t ordered the 70s I want, but it was just so nice to be in H world again. View attachment 4850452

I love absolutely everything about this photo! I can imagine the sun on your face, the slight pucker as you sip your citrus-y drink, and what a joy it must have been to spend a bit of time in the H store.
The twilly is lovely. I don't recognize many twilly designs… I see a bicycle, stripes, polka dots, and (maybe) kitten heads??? The color combo is perfect with your Pico.
