2020 resolution - shopping my own bag and wallet collection. Any one else?

[cowgirlsboots]

I´m still discussing it with myself...

Had a sharp reminder of my own resulution:

this morning. I was about to take the photos of my bag spill when I saw my beloved wallet had some stains. I started rubbing them without thinking and guess I made a mess and halfway ruined it... now I´m waiting for it to dry and find out what I can do. Things like that happen when I forget who I am and start being ashamed of my things not being premier designer, but household brand.

Ok, I bit the bullet... here´s my bag spill


- my boy´s kindle fire
- large power bank as the tablet better never runs out of power
-my ugly nylon pouch that holds more than I´d be comfortable with to show
-nylon shopping bag
- cigarette case
-charging cable (that has escaped the pouch)
-my phone
-my wallet
-my glasses and sunglasses

What´s missing are the camera I took the photo with, a huge pile of tissues, some plastic spoons and some sachets of Mc Donald´s ketchup... oops re the latter.

From the depths of the pouch here´s my Pelikan ball pen:

Ah yes ..always loved the Heritage. Now really interested in the tote do.not.need. Do. Not. Need.
(How much is it on sale?)

On no! Now I’m enabling you too. It’s got 30% or more off in UK sale. Three colours at slightly different prices from about £450 to £489. It is lovely but not practical for this weekend - it’s blowing a gale and pouring with rain.!

Red bag week...

...no, I haven´t worn any of them and won´t have a chance to do so in the near future as the only place I´ll be going before the end of the red bag week will be the supermarket, but here´s some time travel:

Your vintage bags (especially from the 50s & 60s) are incredible!

Sentimental bag number 2 is LV papillon 30 with its baby. I went to a tpf meet up long ago and the wonderful ladies I met helped me pick it out. It was inspected from top to bottom by everyone . We had a lovely luncheon together. I still chat with a few now. Love this bag and she is still a beauty. Just took this new shot.

The Papillon style is a classic. Am I correct that it isn't made any more?
"Baby Papillon" is adorable! What do you carry in it?

 

[ElainePG]

I have very few SLGs, but I just noticed the other day that all but one of them are either pink or red.

From the top, going clockwise:
- Celine triple pouch
- BV french flap mini wallet
- Balenciaga pouch
- Ferragamo card case
- Mulberry mini wallet

I don’t know if is is made anymore. You are probably correct. The poor baby usually gets stuck home. I did use it once to go to dinner but that is it. The papillon is such and easy bag to carry and the red leather interior is beautiful.

These are so pretty and fun. I think perhaps this maybe be a way for me to have something red .

Doesn´t a wallet have to be red? Mine at least just has to!

Luscious! Isn’t it a joy to see those colors?! Ive never had a BV...looks so tactile and a bet it has a super soft hand.

Thank-you! Esquire is a traditional German maker of leathergoods. The company was founded in 1951 and is still in the market- I am sure the goods aren´t produced in Germany anymore, though, but they are still nice quality.
http://esquire-lederwaren.de/de/ueber-uns/ This is their website.
My bag- as usual- came to me via ebay. It´s a nice to use bag in a good size and great quality. I adore the fastener as that the hardware is silver. Most burgundy bags (you´ll find lots of them in vintage Aigner for example) have gold hardware.
