My stats for this month. Not very good, but in my defense, I have been finishing my masters thesis (done!) and re-evaluating my handbag needs.

Bags in: 1 1/2
Bags out: 0 BUT
Blazers/Coats in: 1
Blazers/Coats out: 1

The one bag is a Chanel vintage backpack, have to post pics. The 1/2 is because I have ordered and paid for a Goyard St Louis, but it is not here yet. Does that count for September or for October? :P I am really enjoying the backpack as I am walking a lot these days and wondering whether I need another one...

No bags out BUT I have already made pics of four of them and will be putting them up for sale in the next days. One will probably go to a friend and the rest to VC. I find the whole process a pain but I thought I may as well as consignment shops take such a big cut.

Also I have made a wardrobe clean up with my kids and the stuff we haven’t passed on they have sold themselves in momox, so they make a bit of money and also, hopefully, become a bit aware of all the waste and so. Neither of them have that many clothes but still.

On the accessories front, I want an Hermes cashmere silk in the 90 size, but in my store they only had it in black, so waiting for them to call when they receive other colors. Fighting the temptation for another Acne blanket scarf.

A new color came out at Portland Leather Goods for the Mini Crossbody tote that I loved. I could not decide if I wanted to try the cranberry or get the Grizzly color that would work with my new boots. My son and good friend said to get the cranberry and hubby said just to get whatever I wanted but to pass on the mystery box. So I ordered both. This may sound insane but in the times we are in these are my most used bags.
I did however sell the smooth honey one because I was not reaching for it at all because the color was basically the same as my pebbled one. Then I sold two other bags this week. One of which I have had on sale for a while. So I already have three out this month.
I can't remember who asked do we have multiples of bags and would we show them. When the two mini's arrive I will take a picture of them all. Who else has multiples? I know I am not the only one. lol

This style Portland bags has really worked for you!! I don’t recall you had multiples prior to them?

Lovely, I also like crossbodys high on the waist. Find it much more confortable too.

The other day, I didn’t like my Coach Cassie hanging low crossbody, so I adjusted the strap to have the bag up, around my waist. I was actually surprised because I used to like them (crossbody bags) hanging low. Not sure if it’s only for this particular bag.

Congrats on a forthcoming graduate degree!!

It fits what I need it to and still remains light weight. Also the strap is adjustable and comfortable.

@dcooney4 @momasaurus I looked at the Portland Leather website this morning and the cranberry mini crossbody is so cute! I want one and I am carrying my burgundy Coco Handle this morning ... argh, it would fit the same size, function and colour family for me, so hard to resist!

I was tempted to hold off and wait for the Mini in oxblood but my son saw it and said I need a bright color. My daughter also reminded me I have Oxblood in the Mulberry SBS. So I truly get where your coming from. What I like about this bags is they are still nice quality and a great price so I can wear it anywhere. My Gucci and Lv I just won’t wear to certain places or situations.

good point! :thinking:thinking ... I am just holding it in the cart, that can't be harmful, right?
I don't need it and yet I want it. :facepalm:
I will try to resist looking at the page and admire yours when it arrives! :flowers:
