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! I meant the Watson bag! it's beautiful, I love the dark shade of green!

Beautiful greens! I love your Ergo bag!

Thanks! I was pretty sure that was the bag you meant. I bought that to rehab; didn't realize I would fall in love with it.

Beautiful greens! I love your Ergo bag!

Thank you, that's my newest purchase.

 

[CoachMaven]

Gotta say...WOW! Does Coach make some stunning greens!

They really do!

@Jereni great greens! I like the mint bag against Polene model outfit. I like the look of the Trotteur and never sprung for one as I found the depth to be smaller than what I needed for what I carry.
@880 spectacular bags and scarves photo. Your Trim is amazing, do you the name of the colour? Do you wear it often? I love the camo bags, too. I was just looking at backpacks this morning.

This is eye-poppingly gorgeous! And I just love the way it looks so different, depending how it's tied.

Thank you dear Elaine. I am trying different knots, I usually just chuck a scarf on and don’t worry about it.

The second twilly is done. I am happy that I used the orange border for one side of the twilly. I really get two different looks! One has more contrast to the bag, one blends more. Now I can keep the handles from wearing more until I send it out to the spa. View attachment 4997890View attachment 4997891

You are so talented BowieFan - it looks fantastic!

MAC ruby woo
Its my now and forever HG red lip

That’s a classic red!

I have two greens. Portland Leather Goods Mini Crossbody and Mz Wallace Downtown Tribeca in Grove. The tribeca also come with a Crossbody strap besides the chain one. View attachment 4997897View attachment 4997898

Both are pretty. I really like the shade of green on your Downtown Tribeca.

This arrived this week...

Been wanting this bag for a very long time and they were almost all gone in the U.S. so I figured it was time to get it done.

Chanel North-South boy bag. I haven’t been a huge fan of the ‘boy’ line overall, until I this one.

I was only supposed to come off Chanel ban island for this one bag this year. I’ve unfortunately already broken that resolution, but I’ve kept to the rest of my resolutions so that’s good.

Congratulations on your new North-South Boy bag, what a fun shape.

Here´s the Goldpfeil 60ies handbag I just bought and freshened up with Fiebing´s Oil Dye.

Congratulations on your Goldpfeil, it looks beautiful!

I didn't think I had a lot of greens but they have sneaked up on me.
I've had all of these for several years. Michael Kors Uptown Astor, Coach Legacy duffle in emerald, Coach vintage Sonoma small flap in aqua, Coach Chelsea crossbody in turquoise, and vintage Bottega Veneta. My camera doesn't capture blue greens well. These last two are more green than blue.

New additions since last year: View attachment 4998009
The nylon bag I got last year as a reaction to covid but I've never used it. The aquamarine Balenciaga day is a gorgeous color that I can't seem to capture. The small bag is a vintage Coach Watson bag. It isn't really as dark as it looks in the picture. You can tell it is green IRL.

ETA: Lately I can't seem to get enough of blue-greens! I love this color.

The variety of greens and blue greens is stunning. My favourites are your Day and Legacy Duffle.

I'm glad this post is here, this color(s) of the week is really forcing me to take an inventory of what I have. I did not realize how many green bags I own! I always thought it was a color I lacked and now I realize I have a lot in this color. Clearly a sign for an intervention....
My newest bag, the Coach reissue Ergo 33:

Very pretty green bags. Your reissue Ergo 33 is stunning, the colour and the leather!

Fabulous greens! I am really loving green lately.

Love these! specially that Ergo bag. I wish I had not sold my ergo bags.

I guess I showed this the other day, but here is my Polene which is my one green bag right now.
View attachment 4997596

Up until last month I also had this green Celine Trotteur, but it was not making my heart sing so I sold it.
View attachment 4997597

A mint green bag is definitely a must for my wardrobe however, so in a few months I may get this Polene to replace it. And for far less so that is nice.

What was it about the Trotteur? Too stiff?

Great! Now you must get @Cookiefiend to show you how to turn a twilly into a shoulder strap!

 

[momasaurus]

I'm still thinking about what color PLG mini-tote I "need." I think the sunflower, while pretty, is too close in color to my Valentino Rockstud. I could really use a grey bag (and I do love the color of their grey… it's sort of a "smoke."). But then there's the green, which is also tempting. However, I don't see that green as an all-around color, whereas I can definitely see carry the grey all year out here on the coast, where it never gets very hot.

Just get one. You will love it and then you will get more. They are wonderful bags, and so well-priced!

 

[momasaurus]

The grey I have never seen in person so I can’t really comment on it. Though I think grey is a great neutral. I thought when I ordered the green I probably would not wear it much but then tried wearing it as a subtle pop of color. Now I find I wear it quite often. What ever color you choose enjoy it.

There's a color you don't have???

Great! Now you must get @Cookiefiend to show you how to turn a twilly into a shoulder strap!

I watched a video of a cute way to do it that kept the shape, but I am open to seeing other ways to do it.
