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.

Great choices! Yeah narrowing it to 5 was super hard for me too.
I’m with you on having placeholders. For me, the Proenza and Chanel WOC are probably the placeholders, in terms of - I think I will find a more perfect version of that bag/need eventually.

For pops of color, currently I’d probably add my green Polene and pink BV pouch as runner-ups. But I don’t think I yet have my perfect green or perfect pink bag.

Argh. I know I need a Polene at some point. My eye just gravitates to that shape and the dimples!

Hi everyone! I’ve been MIA for the past month or so. Life has been so busy as I continue marching towards the completion of my degree. I haven’t really said much else about my heart-break. I miss her very much. While I’m still reeling from the grief I have tried to distract myself with, arguably, healthier outlets. I’ve been counting my pennies for my cross-country move which has in turn caused mass reflection on my closet. At this moment I’m trying to sell that damier ebene speedy 30 I thrifted last year but the low-ballers are out in full force. $500? That’s basically asking for it for free. I hope everyone else has had a fulfilling couple of months. Stay healthy and safe.

Nice to see you, and hang in there, Sakura! Getting the degree with be a great accomplishment. Everyone going to school in this pandemic-time deserves extra praise.

Just in time for the blue week... both versace again. The quilted blue bag I've had for two years but haven't worn yet, which is ridiculous because it's so beautiful and I love it so much. My goal when lockdown is over is to find opportunities to take this bag off the display shelf and into the world!

The blue camo print camera bag has filled the role in my bag collection for a small, casual bag that can be used for so many occasions and is a perfect grab and go. Plus I love the hint of pink with the blue!

I wanted that quilted Versace for years! I can't believe you haven't carried it! I used to make quilts with all the quilting done by hand so I was especially drawn to this style, and the color is great. I was considering the flap version but when I went back to try my things inside, something was off and I didn't get it.

That quilted bag is a stunner! Definitely the sort of bag that you design entire outfits around!

So I saw this photo the other day (credit to a TPFer but I can’t remember who), and it reminded me of a brief convo somewhere up-thread about having a ‘perfectly curated closet’.
View attachment 5011521


To me that phrase suggests having a slim number of quintessential, fabulous pieces, which would cover all situations. And then I had a hilarious mental exercise trying to figure out what those would be from MY collection.

I came up with the below, if I keep it to 5:

Prada tote - work
Fendi peekaboo - fancier outings, conferences
Celine luggage - errands, around town
Proenza ps11 - dinners, festivals
Chanel WOC - formal events, night out

Curious to hear from others - which 5 bags from your closet would represent your ‘perfectly curated collection’? Or would this be bags you don’t have yet?

Edited to add: for me, this was not actually the same as what are my favorite 5 bags, more - which are the most classic, fabulous, AND versatile.

This was surprisingly hard for me, and I am still working on narrowing it down to the five bags that represent my perfectly curated collection. I will try to add pics once I have solidified my choices. By the way, I really enjoyed seeing everyone's beautifully curated collections.

Congrats on your cute Arco tote! Is it hand carry only or does it come with a shoulder strap? I really like the color you have chosen. I had looked at this bag a while back, and really liked the brown color, but of course I have too many brown and tan bags!

You have such fun bags. You should at least test pack the blue one even if you don’t go anywhere. Just enjoy it!
