I don’t see anyth8ng wrong with doing this
Haha, I felt very appropriately dressed, too, but the whispering inside the shop filled the room. It couldn´t have been worse had I been naked or had a tree growing out of my head.

Sorry, I don´t know for sure as I´ve never seen this model in the flesh. (I own a medium black "normal" Detective bag, though.) I assume it´s just a big empty compartment to hold what ever one choses to stuff into it.

P.S. I think you did well on the challenge to wear your bags. I love the dalvy!
No expert knowledge here as I don´t own any Chanel, but I´d just carefully freshen up this lovely bag. I like its patina, its telling stories of a life and think this would be a bag I´d wear every day. It charms me more than some of the brand new ones.
I understand what you mean but my thrill comes from creating a big difference in the condition.
And as for the fiebings leather dye and acrylic resolene sealant I use, I can say that the leather 'feel' remains great when I've done it. I wouldn't enjoy painting bags if the results obscured the enjoyment of the leather beneath.
That dior cannage tote I dyed jet black is just as buttery as when it was pale pink and I put several coats of resolene to be sure the black will never rub off.

September stats
...I´m feeling a bit guilty like the cat that got the cream (and knows about calories)...
2 bags in- black Dior New Lock and Dior Lady Dior Rendez-Vous from the collab with Anselm Reyle
0 bags out- but some cheap useless ones listed just to get them out of the way...
edit: oops, there was a third bag- the Dior tote- but I already completely erased this from my slate as it is going to be my DD´s Christmas present.
no new SLGs
Some clothes (a coat a couple of leather jackets etc.) and shoes sold via the classifieds

Oh my… those are beautiful!I am with @Sparkletastic, both. I have two Reissue 226s - black and raspberry red. Both bags are in my top 4 most used bags this year and my top 5 most carried bags of all time. The black one is my favourite bag of my whole bag wardrobe.
I took a picture of both bags earlier today, as I recall @momasaurus suggested this as a showcase idea - sharing pictures of bags we own in multiples.
When I was first interested in Chanel I obsessed over styling pics of the Reissue. I thought about it for a long time, went through the clubhouse thread on TPF, read a ton of reviews, watched YouTube videos and looked at lots of online pictures. I tried it on in the boutique and compared it to the Classic Flap (the CF was heavier and couldn’t be worn cross body easily). I put my name on the waitlist for a black aged calfskin with ruthenium hardware Reissue 226 as none were available in store. Fast forward a couple of months and we were travelling. I managed to convince my husband and kids to check out a boutique with me. I asked to look at a black reissue 226 and they didn’t have any. They did, however, have a raspberry red one and it made my heart leap! I picked up an amazing souvenir from our trip and carried that raspberry red Reissue 226 everywhere. Six months later I got the call that the black one was available in my home boutique. I was conflicted. I already had a lovely red Reissue that I was smitten with. The black one was the one that had been on my mind to start with. I went in to look at it and decided to bring the beautiful black Reissue home. Fast forward six years and the black Reissue is my favourite bag. I wear it often, it fits my lifestyle and it fits what I carry on a regular basis. I also wear the red one frequently. What I love about Reissues - they are under the radar bags, lightweight, versatile with multiple ways to carry it (crossbody, single strap on the shoulder, double strapped on the shoulder), it works with my wardrobe and goes casual to dressy and day to night.

hahahaa!!
Thank you - it is almost like real life - but not quite.
The reader is Juliet Stevenson, she does a great job with all the voices. I'm looking into others she's read for my next classic tome!
+1, but I love black bags!
Love the Just Campagne and I love seeing one!
Thank you so much! The Dalvy is a beautiful bag, I love the leather!ITA. same with Anthony Trollope

These are fabulous. My favourites are the camera bag in the top left and the Dior tote.
I love these saturated colours. The colour and the leather of your Just Campagne look amazing. Which bags do you carry most often?
Congratulations on your beautiful treasures this month, you searched for a Dior New Lock for awhile. Well done on the listings and sales.
I need to start a system of tracking which I wear most in reality. I do grab a colorful bag when it compliments the outfit but in general I am confident I wear neutral purses much more often.
Thank-you! I´m very happy I found the New Lock and at a very good price, too. Plus the more research I do on the woc I am coming to the conclusion that it was a steal rather than at a sensible price. No regrets!
My sales are never very succesful financially. The succes is freeing me of unwanted items and covering my costs. I just did a wardrobe raid and found some more to list.
Anyone else like a flap that can fit their MacBook?
