NOVEMBER ACTIVITIES

1. Bags by Brand Showcase!

Each week, share photos of your bags from the specified brands. Choose a posed “beauty” shot or get your bags out and about in action shots!

We highlight 3 brands per week: 2 premier and 1 contemporary in alphabetical order as listed on tPF. Any brands not listed are showcased in our last week. Brands change to the next set each Sunday.

Our first brand week starts now - Sunday, Oct 31. Please share photos of bags from these brands:
  • Bottega Venetta
  • Burberry
  • Alexander Wang

Tip: Grab your photos from last year in the 2020 resolution thread. Search your user name and the brand to find your photos.

2. Special Stories
Thanks @Claudia Herzog for the suggestion

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

Thank you :flowers: I feel the same way about your collection! I understand when you like a brand but realize it doesn't fit your style. I think you might like DeMellier. I will post pics of my cute de Lanthe Bermuda bag, with all of her different covers!

Right? I'm lucky that I have friends within walking distance. We are 4 families with kids who get together on an almost weekly basis. One of my friends is an EXCELLENT cook and loves to cook for us. We bring side dishes, dessert and drinks, and any portable fire pits we have. We usually have 3-4 fires going. I typically wear my ski pants, long winter coat, and accessories and stay pretty warm for hours! Seeing real live people has really helped me get through this isolation. I get tired of zoom drinking too.

I look forward to the pics! It's great how TPF members know each other's bags/tastes well enough to know what brands and bags each other might like! :drinks: Now I definitely have to check out DeMellier! :yes:

That sounds like a really wonderful arrangement! Enjoy!
 
My only yellow or orange bag. Cheap, but fun, tote I got in Moab on my birthday trip a couple years ago. Yep, it really is dyed with the orange/red rock dirt in Southern Utah.

I love southern Utah/Northern Arizona. I have taken two trips out there and was mesmerized by the colors. It is truly a beautiful part of the country.
 
Orange and yellow bags...

I was about to say: there aren´t any- I don´t do yellow or orange for bags...
...then I looked around and this strange new love and reliable companion of mine came into sight:
Dior New Lock in mustard patent, GHW.

The colour is a chamelion depending on the light. It can be beige, it can be shiny mustard. It´s always very neutral.
That yellow is so lovely. Your beautiful Dior bags have inspired me to search for one.
 
I'm putting it out on record, this year is the year of less is more. I didn't go crazy last year due to the pandemic but I did purchase 3 MZ Wallace bags, one spring season Coach, and one vintage Coach. This is significantly better than years past. I also sold four bags last year. For 2021 I already purchased a bag in early February but it was a planned purchase and I don't plan to get any others for the remainder of the year until I sell the ones I have in my 'To Sell' pile.

I actually am interested in the Rothy's bucket bag. Does anyone have one? Because if I sell all my pile, I wanted to use some of the proceeds for that and be done. I like the idea of a fully washable bag of that size with some structure.
 
Is anyone else totally bored by this winteR? View attachment 4992793
Wanna do a book club? I just started Malcolm Gladwell's new book and I'm loving it. I'm planning to read Becoming, by the 2008-2016 FLOTUS....BUT if anyone wanted to jump in with me I am open to most any book!
Reading President *****’s The Promised Land now.
