Mind you, they're only being used to go for short walks so none of them are actually appropriate
That’s a great idea but she likes bag that are way bigger than I like and that are more expensive than the little crossbody. I listed it.
@papertiger A moderator question for you, if you don't mind. Would it be better to have these 'vote for a bag' posts in the 2021 thread? Do you think it's worth it for you to move these last few posts we've made across?
I initially thought it more fitting in here (final 2020 bags on the final pages of the 2020 thread) but now I'm thinking it may gain more traction there. It's your call, I'm just thinking aloud.
Also, go on then! Join in with a couple of options from your collection and let us vote!
All suggestions:
This thread is still relevant for those wanting to leave info/updates tied-up in 2020 so it's still functional and important.
This thread will close in 2021 and/or be unpinned, so my advice to all participating in the 'vote which handbag game' (which, BTW, could be a whole new thread idea) is:
2020: For those doing the asking, to confine it to bags that they want to wear within the last few days of 2020 (this may be tied into Dec's challenge after all). For those voting, naturally, make sure you vote on this thread.
2021: For those wanting vote-advice on bags going forward into Jan and beyond, literally just round the corner, use the new thread. Same with voting.
For this reason, it's more important (right now) to know when and where you're going before asking, rather than more general advise with possibles e.g. ' which for work?' or 'which with this outfit?' type questions.
If they get mixed-up, either report your own post(s) where an Admin or Mod will see it. Or just forget about it, reminding the rest of the regs if need be.
Then it seems my initial thought of posting in here was the right one. Thank you for the breakdown.
You'd be a very level-headed sister.
My sister to me (and everyone she meets for 1 month): "What on-earth were you thinking? Seriously? You think that's my style? Take it back and just give me the money."
Me to my sister: "Thank you for your generous present" - sticks it in a draw and brings it out once a year for 4 years when meeting sister alone. Year 5 - gone. When asked where the bag is say "I wore it out".
My sister once gave me a Birkin looky-likey. Non-leather, sangles stitched to the front of the bag with a zip top. Had to pretend I lost it in a house move. Another time she gave me what was a very nice French Connection-does-BV little shoulder bag in woven red suede, strong on the fringing. Too small and girly. See 'me to me sister' above for clues. I wore it 4 times in 5 years and then sold it to concession. Y.5 she asked if she could borrow it
- which is really off coz she hates red apart from lipstick, I had to say I wore it out.Good luck @BowieFan1971 !!!!
The problem with friends and family is they know we love bags, the bigger problem is they don't always let us choose.
I never thought of “I wore it out.” Hmmmm...I hate having to shuffle it around in the meantime, though. We’ll see if it sells....You'd be a very level-headed sister.

I do it very similar to you though usually in a shorter time period. The only exception would be a bag gift from my daughter. I don’t wear it often but she tried hard and bought it in Florence for me. It is a light taupe suede that is good for summer, but since I rarely tan does not look great on me. That stays. One day if it gets dirty I will dye it to a color that works better for me.You'd be a very level-headed sister.

I hate how chains tend to damage coats so I now refuse to wear these two together. So unless you carry it underneath your coat (or said coat is undestructible) I would rule out the Lily.
Of the other 3, not sure, but leaning towards the blue if you are wearing blue jeans.
Ah yes, a friend of mine has it in burgundy. Very cute.

Mind you, they're only being used to go for short walks so none of them are actually appropriate
The quilted one. It makes me think of staying warm.
