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.

Thanks! I'm excited to see it in person! It left Sand Diego at 3:00am this morning...

Yeah, Southern Utah is wonderful! :loveeyes: :loveeyes: :loveeyes: :loveeyes: :loveeyes:

Thank you! :flowers: I'll post pics as soon as it arrives.

That is a fabulous shade of plum! Wonder how much better it would look in smooth lambskin...

You got the large Lady Dior! Stunning bag. Congrats!

@SouthernPurseGal so glad to hear about your house! How exciting! Congratulations.

@Jereni, the color of that Coco Handle just took my breath away. It's gorgeous.

Thank you! I had thought it was the medium - the measurements from the reseller were just a tad off and I chalked it up to the difference between centimeters and inches... turns out it's the large. I think for me that's just as well - at 6' tall - I can 'stand up' to the larger size - AND the zipper doesn't bother me when I put my hand in because there's more room. :flowers:

Same... I hope to make it down to Moab this fall. Also up to Lava Hot Springs, but not sure if I'll feel ready to soak in the hot springs with other people this year... Stupid Covid! :blah: That will probably have to wait until next year.

Yes, the zipper is not a problem at all with the large Lady Dior. It's a stunning bag. I'm 5' 4" and really liked how it looked on me when I tried it on. Enjoy your beauty!

Super cute!! I had a Polene Un for a while in this very color - loved it but it was a little too big.
Click to expand...

Thanks! Yeah I think Polene has one of the best quality/looks-per-price ratio out there.

I like the size of this numero un BUT I do think the bag is too big/heavy for the thin chain they put on it. IMO this bag should have had one of those straps that is chain maybe 1/3 of the way up, and then leather.

I love the all leather strap on the nano and will probably buy a second nano before it’s all over.

Hadn’t chimed in on this convo yet but I also love this region. The last vacation my husband and I had before COVID was Sedona AZ. I freakin love that place.

My Dior Lady bag showed up unbelievably fast - I bought it on Monday and received it Friday! I cleaned and polished it, then carried it Saturday to an early Valentine’s Day dinner. I even wore a skirt! :faint:
