For @ElainePG - this is the Coach Saddle bag. It’s a little on the small side, I have to play a bit of Tetris to get everything in there.
Carrying it to dinner tonight!

the back pocket is just big enough for my phone.

Thank you for the photos, @Cookiefiend :flowers:

Very cute bag! Perfect for a dinner-date.

I'm finding that I don't like playing Tetris with my small(e)r bags. I think I used to be more patient when I was first enamored of bags… if I had to fiddle a bit to get everything in, it was just part of the fun. That's why I've either sold or donated a BUNCH of mini bags in the past few years. Now I'm down to just four, not counting my clutch bags, and when I use any of those four, I make sure to switch into a teensy wallet or just a card case. And of course it helps if Mr. PG is driving, and also carries the house keys!

Lots of people love the Neverfull. It was light and I liked the shape, especially the ability to pull in the sides. I think I’m just not a big pattern person so I couldn’t quite get my head around it.

The Mulberry shop didn’t have the colour I like in stock so I’ve only seen it online. I did look at other colours which were full price so I know I like the style.

I’m very tempted as I don’t have any open totes like this that could be work and casual. Just wondering how many bags I really can have in my collection before it becomes excessive. Still pausing for now...

Oh this is a different look than the bayswater flap model from way back when. I like this..very much. It’s on sale, you say?

Happy Valentines Day!

I’ve been stalking various websites just looking! I then popped into LV yesterday just looking too. I was just thinking what I might get later in the year.

Was very tempted by the Neverfull with a red or pink lining. It’s really not my usual style as an open tote or in canvas but I was thinking it’s so different that it’s good. It the end it was no problem to walk away despite a lovely SA and shopping experience in store. Perhaps that confirms it isn’t me after all.

Then I noticed the Mulberry Bayswater Tote which is similar to the Neverfull but in gorgeous leather. There is a lovely blue one in the sale. Very tempted especially as Mr K says to go for it for Valentines. I think it would get a lot of wears for work or casual.

It’s not shopping my own collection and it’s only February so I’m pausing to think about it.

Wow, I envy your resolve!! I’ve been tempted by that Mulberry tote as well, but I know that I won’t use it a lot so I’m able to hold back. But if there’s a sale on it, I might not be able to. I know this is contrary to some discussions here on the thread (that if you won’t buy it full price then maybe you don’t really like it enough). But you know me, I’m a sucker for sales just because I have limited access to “good”-priced bags.:smile:

Speaking of bag tetris and Mulberry, I’m glad that my new Mulberry Brockwell does not need a lot of bag tetris for my weekend stuff to fit. I did a bag spill on my reveal thread and I will share 2 pics here. The second pic is with everything inside. My iPhone 8 Plus fits in yhe back pocket! (I’m able to show 2 phones in the photo because I have my new phone from my plan renewal.)

Yes it is. I have a heritage Bayswater already. That’s the one I think you are remembering. It a gorgeous bag and the one that started my love with the brand. It’s the newer style tote that’s caught my eye as it is a totally different style and much lighter. The original Bayswater holds loads and I still use it a lot but only for work. I think the tote would be really versatile.

I’ve included some images. Both the blue Bayswater styles are in the sale. The tote is a lower price and actually bigger than the original. The grey is my own bag.9F5B929B-0475-424D-88CC-ACDFA28DFEB9.jpeg 090E13BC-2BB3-4904-92B4-72B0863938FA.jpeg 5800D55F-21D9-41BA-BE61-CA72DF4575F7.jpeg

I’m a sucker for a sale too. It’s just more accessible and lowers the price per wear which I now always consider. Most of my bags are either sale items or airport gifts for DH. it’s probably a good thing I don’t live anywhere near an outlet! :-)

My resolve is fast running out. I’ve obviously been looking at it online a lot as DH just leaned over and said he’d get it if I really want it.

I don’t know what to say - in the spirit of this thread I should not enable! But I know I feel differently! Haha, I’m no help, sorry. :flowers:
