yes, and because the cardholder is leather, I cant sanitize it. Everyone laughs at me, as they think i'm paranoid, but i try to be extra cautious because I can't afford to get sick.Why in a Ziploc bag? To keep it separate from items that might contaminate it? (Sorry if I'm OT, but I stay awake at night thinking about things like this!)
@papertiger your bag is beautiful!, and the twilly too!I didn't take this outside today, just showing it off to you guys with the Twilly that took me ages to find. The craftsperson told me not to carry the bag without a twilly or to wear gloves.
For quite a few years I've felt the twilly designs were all getting brighter and busier with every season and was using a bias-folded Hermès navy Printemps Ete 69- Automne Hiver 45, but luckily this cw of Cassandre's Jeu de Cartes twilly fitted really well and it's only for this bag. Actually, in all my years of collecting I only have 3 twillys so far.
H Sac Malette was once my grandmother's and is from the late 1940s, I didn't know the date until the craftsperson worked on it, I didn't even realise such old pieces had date stamps. My cousin got my grandmother's Brn BK 28 (returne) and my sister another bag. Let me tell you there was stiff competition for the Kelly, but now I think I'm the luckiest one.
Apparently C19 is getting worse again in many places in my country atm. Honestly, there was no social distancing gone on on the beach today so DH and I went to the cricket ground instead and watched the games until dinner time. Took my Evie and cheated on my H scarves with a Gucci Flora.

This is a great idea!Why don't we have a showcase where we post pix of bags we have in multiples? That would be fun (and maybe embarrassing for me).
Your brooch is beautiful!That broche goes perfect with that blazer! I love pimped up denim.
What a treasure of a bag! You can get a vintage box Kelly easily, even if it is not the same as having grandma’s, but this is double special.
Here’s the Gucci Small Padlock Top Handle. I really like this bag, I think it’s very chic. This is the bag that replaced my Loewe Puzzle - I loved the Puzzle, but when it started to have edge coat cracking in just 10 months (and y’all know it’s not my only black bag), I returned it. Cracked edge coating is one thing I do not like at all. @Sparkletastic noted that the Padlock is smaller than the Puzzle, and it is... so I don’t carry it as much as I would if it just a little bigger. It’s more of a “going out to dinner/hanging out with friends” type purse and less of an “omg I’m late for work, throw everything in there” bag.
But it sure is pretty!

This pocket on the back is not useful - but slim things like a mask, tickets, or bus passes fit fine.

Inside and bag spill (phone fits too)

One concern I have is where the flap of the bag attaches to the purse. This is very sturdy leather - very structured and thick. When you open the flap all the way, A crease forms - the crease is a natural function/result of opening the bag - it has to be there, but I’m concerned that the leather might crack eventually... so I take care to moisturize this bag on a quarterly basis, in hopes of avoiding that.

Very nice, i like the outfit, and the booties!Here’s a pic of the leopard print car coat and gold sock booties. The sock booties I picked up for a steal. Holt Renfrew was the main upscale store in my city. Nordstrom was coming to town to open up a store. Holt Renfrew sent me a coupon for $500CDN to spend in their store. I found these Loeffler Randall Kassidy gold glittered stretch-knit sock boots and paid the tax $14.50CDN for these fun booties.Here’s a link to Net A Porter for other views of the booties.
