I use some of the charms. When I got them, I meant to use all of them but some of them just haven't gone with anything I have. Many of those I've sold. I love the charms. Some of them I love so much that even if I never find a bag to match, I'll still keep them. There is at least one small one that I'm going to turn into a pendant. Some of the charms match certain bags so much that I keep them permanently on the bag. Obviously I have more charms than bags. I don't really need them all but I'm at the point where it is hard to decide which ones to part with. I have about another 25 that are already listed.

They are fun and don’t take up tons of space. I have a charm I won’t wear on a bag but won’t get rid of it because my son bought it for me. Sometimes I just put it on my desk so I can see it.
I did a mid-weekend switch to one of my favorite satchels..the Botkier Sasha in a burgundy satin. I’ve shown this before, discussed how it was designed by Botkier, a photographer..so she could access her camera equipment without zipping up, yet the contents wouldn’t spill. Perfect for all my SLG’s. Here she is guarded by my poochie, Ruby. And here is my piccolo, holding my writing implements, and matching tassel page marker in my calendar.
Sadly I'm the same in terms of prejudice. But then I reason to myself that life is all about choices, and that there are so many to choose from anyway.
Ooooh, that screen is gorgeous.Ah yes. That’s a classic image. LA of all places.. I think Hawaii is having another moment. I know Honolulu has become “cool” with all the Art districts etc. Gone are most of the souvenir gift shops in Waikiki, replaced by the “Rodeo Drive of the Pacific”.
We were there in November to see Shangr-La, Doris Duke’s magnificent home with world class Islamic art and architecture - truly inspiring! I’m trying how to integrate this type of panel (forget what it’s called..@Meta will know) into my closet. It doesn’t have to be carved marble, I’ll be ok with metalwork

Anyway I had to have the Special edition H Waikiki scarf. It’s a tough one to wear..a lot of silk (140) and those tropical colors..kinda wakes up the neighborhood

Aloha! Glad you’re relaxing and drinking lots of wine!
And I love sea, surf, and sand or whatever that design in called. Mine is a gavroche.
I had a very quick response when I inquired - they suggest going to my local store, but they are also OK with sending to the Leather Spa or Rego Brothers.Does BV have a leather spa? Or are you talking about a different service? I use my BV wallet nearly every day, and I've noticed the poor thing is looking a bit tired.
I am very lazy about switching purses, but I'm on call this week so will be schlepping my laptop around. My default case is an old Tom Bihn Brain Cell which is a functional and protective rectangle on a strap, but I was worried it would scratch up the small oxblood BV Veneta I've been carrying. So, the small Longchamp Le Pliage Neo Stars. I went in to get this pattern in the large tote and impulse bought this crossbody as well.
I, uh, like the form factor so much that I have it in 4(!) different colors in cuir, but I don't know how much use this nylon one will get. I guess it will be my toss-around bag for now.
L/R: Umbrella, sunglasses, LC key pouch, reading glasses, H Bearn wallet, silver LC pouch containing comb/makeup/bandaids/meds/nail-kit/kitchen-sink, acid green H agenda cover holding my monstrous work on-call phone, teal H phone case for my normal phone, and a fold-up coffee cup that I have not yet used and come to think of it should live in a pouch like the silver one with ziplocs for after use. 99% of the time there's a fold-up nylon shopping bag in some pretty color as well.
Also, while I love beautiful pens, I really can't justify carrying yet another big thing in my bag. But this makes me happy:
The teeny flashlight is the other thing on the ring, and likewise adorable and sometimes a lifesaver.

Love the bag spill!
Whoa that is a phone? You're going to HAVE to post a modeling shot of that held up to your ear
love the idea of a collapsible cup..any reusable cup is A+
Oooh now I see the stars on your tote
And the red pouch for your keys...really like that. Is it originally pen holder?
Love all the little surprises! Finally...is that a retractable pen?!
Thanks for posting!

Thank you for your kind words!
Ha, the agenda cover is a leeeetle bigger than the iPhone X work phone. I got it as it is bright and big enough to find quickly in the depths of my purse when the phone rings. Here's the phone inside the case, with my iPhone SE case as size reference:
I really love the stars, on the tote especially. I saw a version with silver stars in Charles de Gaulle as I was rushing past (I always end up having to run a marathon in CdG, sigh) that was also nice.
The red pouch is this: https://en.longchamp.com/en/products/le-foulonne/key-case/l3961021608 so too small to be a pen case, sadly. I have it in red and pink, and added lobster claw clasps to the end of the chains so I can just switch the entire ring between them.
The pen is from Amazon: https://smile.amazon.com/True-Utility-Stainless-Steel-Pen-Keychain/dp/B007IOHPKY - though the German version doesn't have the engraving. I have also owned and liked this other retractable pen: https://smile.amazon.com/True-Utility-Stainless-Steel-Pen-Keychain/dp/B007IOHPKY but the black lacquer wears off pretty fast rubbing against keys. The flashlight is also by True Utility, called the NanoLite, but I can't find it on the US Amazon site.
Ruby is adorable! I love the colors of your piccolo and calendar. The burgundy satin is such a rich beautiful color.
Awww - hello sweet Ruby!
This looks like such a light weight purse and I love the color!
I am always amazed by how much the LC carries!
Love the stars
