What are those awesome flowers? Mmmm yummy bags. Oh yes, it’s time to showcase our colors! Cant wait to see your SLGs!
I wish I knew!
I was out walking and saw the marvelous color and had to talk a picture! I have a few more days here, but will take a photo when I’m home. Should I count a dark orange in the red tally? I consider it more red than orange myself... :flowers:

2019
  • The group photo in the 2019 thread was the same as the 2018 thread
  • Shortly after the pic was posted I did a 1 in 1 out: Added Hermes Rouge H Garden Party 36 Negonda, Sold Louis Vuitton Batignolles Horizontal
2020
I feel I have good coverage for my red and burgundy bags, a tote, a hand held, a shoulder bag and a small bag/WOC. I especially like the versatility of the Coco Handle, Reissue and WOC in that I can carry them multiple ways - shoulder carry (single strap or double strap Reissue and WOC), crossbody, by the handle (Coco Handle) or as a clutch (WOC).

Oh my - that Coco Handle is just gorgeous. And that bag that makes me look at Chanel.
There’s no C store where I live, I did pop into the one in West Palm Beach a couple of weeks ago... I didn’t see anything I loved but perhaps if I *had* seen one, I would have been tempted. Thank goodness there’s not one in Maui,
 
Beautiful! Your bag collection is s unique!:love:

I love it!




I love your bag spill, I love the wallet, beautiful shade of red!


I agree I love the Papillon, I'm curious to know what fits in the baby papillon!


beautiful!:girlsigh::love:

beautiful bags!!

I love the look, and the bag too!:yes:
Not a whole lot. Next time I take it out I will try some things in it and show you. Maybe that will help me use it.

Weekend bag spill!

My boyfriend took us to Napa for a short weekend trip to celebrate Valentine's Day and our first anniversary as a couple. I was trying to decide between my Polene Numero Un Mini, Celine Nano Belt Bag, and YSL Mini Lou and decided to wear my YSL Mini Lou - for how tiny it is, it fits a surprising amount, and it also worked with my outfit a little better.

View attachment 4667486
The Mini Lou was full, but not stuffed to capacity or overstuffed. I put my credit card, driver's license, and health/hospital card in the included card slots and could comfortably store my phone in the main compartment as well.
Everything else pictured above:
- tissue packet (covered in Japanese fabric)
- 3x lip balms/glosses/sticks
- sunblock
- portable battery
- compact mirror
- USB cable
- LV key pouch (used to carry cash)
- cloth pouch
- wireless earbuds

This mini-getaway did reaffirm my desire to get a new compact wallet. I definitely could have used one for this trip and would like to have one I can use when I'm using a smaller handbag!

I am super awkward with photos and I didn't take many with just me, but this was after wine tasting at Castello di Amorosa.

Orange is next week but if it looks more red to you post it now. I enjoy looking at them anytime.

I found my reds from 2017 and 2018 on my phone. I don’t think I was able to post in 2019.

001C6261-CF4B-4FFE-87B8-9BFD6A17DA65.jpeg

And now in 2020, I still have the same bags from 2018, except for the leather Longchamp and the smaller nylon Longchamp (Neo). The Neo has been replaced by another red (plum?) nylon Longchamp Le Pliage Club though not in my next photos.
So here are my “true” reds
Marc Jacobs 54 in Flame Red

Another Marc Jacobs, 1984 in Terracotta (orange-y, but since I put it under Reds in previous years I am categorizing it here)
82FA0677-0F75-4E41-B103-2895DC91C1D0.jpeg
Massaccesi midi Minerva in Red Cherry nappa
56CE6D9D-3E90-424F-8188-40FD6F54BB28.jpeg
Somewhere along the way, my interest turned to Oxblood. Except for the Mulberry, all others were from 2019.
Mulberry Small Zipped Bayswater in Oxblood

And finally, a Longchamp pouch

I realized I have a true red Massaccesi Flora SLG that I don’t have a picture of.

Wow you have so many red bags! I specially like the oxblood Pandora.
 
Isn't it funny how difficult it is to use a zipped coin compartment? From a manufacturing perspective, it would seem easier to make a flap and a button closure. I really wonder if the designers are women..are they aware of the user experience? (Didn’t I bore you all with my Ford Motors musings..or was that another thread:P)
My wallets are all full size (but the small Prada has now captured my attention!) with zipper compartments. Maybe because of the size, I'm not bothered at all by zippers. In addition to coins I also keep two single keys in there that I use rarely but don't want to lose track of.

Since last year though I’ve only been wearing my oxblood bags and not the “real” reds. Though I have an itch now for a “forever” red double handle bag with the same silhouette as the Saint Laurent SDJ (but not this because it’s heavy) - structured, squarish bag. My Mulberry zipped Bays fit the bill but I want a different style for a “true red”.

Castello di Amorosa is not in Napa proper, but I believe it is in Napa County - the actual city is Calistoga. It was a really beautiful space - if I remember correctly, a Tuscan inspired medieval castle reminiscent of Italian wine country. We didn't get a tour of the castle but I'd love to do that my next trip back!

The Mini Lou falls into the camera bag category, and in YSL's collection it is the mini version. There are three card slots in the interior which are quite roomy - I was able to fit one card each in the bottom two and one card + hotel key card in its paper sleeve in the top one. There are no other pockets aside from an exterior slip pocket, which works fine to hold a phone in a pinch or as a quick place to stash a receipt or tickets. (I actually used it to hold a tiny microfiber cloth that I folded up.)

This is a quick photo I took while we were out - you can see the card slots on the bottom.

This Dior lip gloss is a little bit sticky, but it's not as bad as others I've used and I quite like the moisturizing and the slight tint it provides. It's perfect to use over something like the Sugar lip balm pictured next to it, or over my Supergoop lip balm which has SPF in it (a must on a sunny day like today!).
Long ago I used to go to Calistoga Hot Springs whenever I had a job in the Bay Area. What luxurious fun, and a variety of establishments, from basic to fancy.
