Thanks @Claudia Herzog for the suggestion

Wear a bag that has a backstory involving a person, place, or opportunity for which you feel grateful.

This is one version of mine. I think it's nice as a circular logo.

 

[SouthernPurseGal]

My thinking is that I would only put them on items with very low resale value, only consumables. Not on purses but on pouches, Keychains.... Luggage. Plus my daughters and someday granddaughters can inherit.

And if any of you would like some reviews for the following online stores that specialize in personalized bespoke gifts, they can be forthcoming in case any of you guys want to know which are best :

Barrington Gifts
Marleylilly
Suitfaces
Bags of Love USA
Kids Travel Zone USA
Desmond & Dempsey

a couple of eBay stores
And Marco Massaccesi is embossing my logo on all my SLGs and they are priced on par with the above and you get lambskin lining and can choose edge dye color etc

THIS IS THE HOUSE!??!??! OMG I’m crushing on it too, and I like where I live already! Best of luck to you and DH!!!

Your Delvaux is beautiful!!!

Thank you!

So tell me everybody : do you like monogramming on your items? If so, what? SLGs? Shirt pockets? Linens? Engraved jewelry? Stationary?

No monograms for me either.

Good luck with the house hunting! All the best!

Thanks. The bag's colours worried me initially. I don't usually carry that shade of lipstick red. I gravitate to brick red and oxblood, so this was bold for me. I actually bought the red top right after getting the bag, and did so specifically to pull together this outfit because the bag leans so well into that mod style.
I'm usually head to toe in black, white, grey or blue, but every now and again I like to play.

I know what you mean about the right shade of red. I'm still looking for my perfect red bag in the right shade of red! Your bag is a very nice shade of red and I like the red and white combo.

Bag 3: Chanel Red Quilted Lambskin Wallet on Chain of Challenge 2 - Take the tag off and wear it. Both my DS went back to in-person school yesterday. I carried my red WOC for the school run. The WOC is too small to carry my sunglasses and since I was in a car that was fine. The finicky thing about a WOC is emptying wallet contents into the credit card slots or zipper pocket. I have two, one in black caviar leather and this red lambskin one. I carry the black more often and I love the buttery feel of the lambskin. It works well for evenings out to dinner, sporting events or theatre events (lies flat against your body) or going to a movie (remember that? )
The scarf that is pictured with the red WOC is also the scarf I wore yesterday, Hermes H Force Centrifuge (cross posting).

Decided to carry my Delvaux Tempete today. I'm having a hard time capturing the honey-gold color and this picture is the one that comes the closest to the bag's actual color.

I love this bag. So chic

I'm enjoying my new shirt, and flopping for a break with TPF and a refreshment.

OMG I absolutely love this. I can’t wait till I can order one

yes!! And it was just as nice in person!!

It’s a dream house! Get it! Fingers and toes crossed for you as @Vintage Leather said!

I can imagine you at the house, using your D&D shirt as a pool wrap! Do people still wear pool wraps? I don’t know bc I have not worn a bathing suit in 20 years.

So tell me everybody : do you like monogramming on your items? If so, what? SLGs? Shirt pockets? Linens? Engraved jewelry? Stationary?

I don't. I once had a shirt with my name on it, over one breast, and more than one person said, "What's the other one called?" It was so embarrassing!

 

[whateve]

I like personalized stationary- feels so posh and reminds me of my childhood when an old uncle would give me a set for Christmas- and I like personal engravings on jewellery, not necessarily monogramming, but messages.

Yes, personalized stationery was great back when I wrote letters and thank you notes. I also like personal engraving on the inside of a ring. I have a huge mug from my college with my name on it. I like that. It isn't something I'll ever get rid of.

using the Lora Bucket bag from Coach. After a week of black bags, decided I needed to brighten things up a bit. Happy Friday!

I love this style!
