Carrying my one pink bag - MZ Wallace Mini Sutton. I love this purse, the color makes me happy.

Purse spill - with my usual cosmetic bag, but this is my special Maui wallet. The leather is so soft and the print is lovely. Also carrying an emergency inhaler in case the vog gets bad - so far though we’ve had trade winds, not Kona winds. This purse carries so much, there’s room for a lot more!

Great bag spill and pretty colour on your Mini Sutton!

I have my SLGs in a drawer, and my twillies in the bottom level of my jewelry box, folded to fit. The drawer is a good solution for the SLGs, because it's easy to grab 'n go. But the twillies… not so much. I tend to forget about them!

@momasaurus I have SLGs in a drawer, too.

thanks MoreBags! I’m really trying to put all my other bags to use. I figured weekends are perfect for the change-out. It was a big deal to change SLGs but I’m going change them up every week..that’s a personal challenge. Stay tuned y’all!
Meanwhile.. What pen are you carrying today

I will cheer you on for weekly SLG change ups!

Here are my bag spill and pen pics,

What a fun kelly! I love red and pink. The underside of the handle is fabulous. Also rubis is so special - I have a K wallet in rubis with permabrass HW (according to BaBaBeBi) - sort of midway between silver and gold.
Is that Calvi Rose Sakura perhaps? I have one.
I hope you find your piccolo! I am terrible about my SLGs and twillies - don't really have a proper place to keep them, so they tend to float. This is not good.
What do others do about these small items????

Oh do show your K wallet! I am only going to admire from afar. Sheesh I finally found my piccolos this morning..Gah. I’d put them with my empty scarf boxes. That was ridiculous. Yeah I need to figure out an SLg system as I’ve committed to swapping them out weekly to give this obsession a bit of air. I think the calvi is rose Sakura and the cosmetic bag (duh what was that thing called?) is rose Tyrien, which is also the contrast color inside the Rubis. And yes that bag is called So Flash ..Thanks @meta!

I have a hanging organizer in the closet for some of my SLGs. I drape twillies over a hanger so they stay unwrinkled. My larger wallets and clutches are stored on a shelf on a rack with dividers. My smaller wallets and cosmetic cases are stored in a box. They aren't very well organized. I need to find a different solution since they are all different sizes. My keychains and purse charms are mostly hanging on curtain rods I've put on the wall. Some purse charms are stored in bead sorter boxes.

Yes Yes whateve please show us some pix of the SLG organization. I also keep all the boxes and sometimes keep the SLGs in their boxes (and then I get tired of opening boxes to discover new things) blah blah blah. Basically I have a problem and need help

Cool wallet! They printed that on leather? How neat is that! And the bag..Such a great color! And it looks so light (weight wise) I am complaining cuz the kelly is heavier than the Neverfull wah wah wah. But the tadelakt..seriously so velvety.

I will cheer you on for weekly SLG change ups!

Oh that is just drool worthy. I love etain; and those red and purple SLGs. Hmm.. I could use more colors
uh morebags I’m so sure..your pens are also red and purple!! I know you planned all this
(I do not need this pen holder. Do.not.need. Do.not.need)
Oh dear god.maybe spilling our bags wasn’t such a great idea

It’s called Karo. And you’re welcome.

Gorgeous spill and I am a Caran D'ache fan. Ironically that is the wallet I just dropped off at the consignment shop. They are my favorite pens . I also love their art supplies. I have even been in their factory in Switzerland.

I have my slgs in a drawer in two halfs of a hard sided lv box. They stand up in size order with their dust covers on. Kind of like Kon Mari does with clothes. I pull the drawer open and can grab what I need at a glance. I do save the boxes but they are stored one inside the other else where. It makes rotating very easy. I have now down sized quite a bit , so one of the lv boxes now holds extra bag straps and sunnies.

I forget about everything that isn't right in front of me.

OK - I do need to move back into that wallet and send my current (Bottega Veneta) to the spa. Pix later. glad you found your piccolos!

Yesterday, dh took me shopping for a new backpack. I sold off most of my bigger ones. We went to many different stores and found two that were light enough and still leather. Dh did not want me to get a nylon one . I told him I wanted one to replace my bags when my shoulder is hurting that looks a bit more elegant . We found one at tumi and one at mk . I like the look of the mk better but was going to buy the other because of the brand in relationship to the item. My husband was like why are you going to pick that one instead of the one that is prettier and fits your needs better. I was embarrassed to tell him. Since he was buying he said that is silly and bought me the mk one. Now I have to say I am rather excited to get it on valentines day. Do you ever buy a bag because of the brand rather then what would work better for the situation?

Ah yes the Karo! whew..you saved the day again. Thanks again Meta I would have remembered eventually..or not I really need to start recording and tracking things like you are all doing; but some things I just might not want to know (like oh that thing I have never used?)

I forget about everything that isn't right in front of me.

Me too

Ah ha dcooney4! You’re going to have to join in on “showing your bag pen!” I sense another fellow pen dweeb in our midst ..I want to go on this pen factory tour..off to research!

It was not a normal tour. My dad used to own the US rights to the company and we were there to work on what to import.

Wut? Oh no. Not me. Never I would always pick practicality over brand

Oh my..even better! You must have quite the selection! Show us (but in a bag perhaps heh heh). I, meanwhile, am going to look at their pens..but ..will.not.buy,

 

[dcooney4]

I have a favorite pen but it is a ball point called the ecridor. I have it in many colors as well a real gold and Chinese lacquer one. Took a quick picture of a few and the lacquer one. I also have it in silver but can’t find it at the moment. For me with pens it is about the smoothness of the ink and the ease of use as well as the comfort in my hand. My dad is more like you and has many elegant pens .

I totally get your hesitation! For me, it’s more of NOT getting a bag because of the brand.

Yes ! I also looked at something similar at a high end bag company but the backpack was a little to tiny . We even looked at prada nylon but he didn't want to buy another nylon bag . It's funny because normally I just pick what I want . This is the first time in a long time he took an interest and really looked at the various bags. So I went with his pick as it is a gift after all. I will see on Vday how it looks and works . It is a buttery soft quilted leather.
