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:

Don't even ask me to select a capsule collection if my handbags, I just cannot do it!

I have only one purple bag, Coach Legacy Garcia satchel in amethyst:

And pinks I have three. First is my Kate Spade Ava. I had this crazy desire for a croc embossed pink bag- don't ask me why, I have no idea! So when I saw this one I had to have it. It's a great date night bag:

Question for everyone! Tell us about the last time you immediately fell in must have, can’t stop thinking about it love with a bag? What was it? Did you buy it? Why or why not? If you did, was everything you expected? If not are you still on the hunt or have you let it go?

I like this question! Unfortunately I feel like I do that with way more bags than is reasonable.

One that comes to mind is the rainbow iridescent stingray Chanel wallet on chain from a few years back. Saw it in the boutique and just had heart palpitations.

I bought it, and it WAS gorgeous, but I was too scared to wear it really and the minute I saw the slightest bit of creasing on the top of the flap I panicked and sold it, lol. Don’t really regret selling it though. In the end I think it was a touch too blingy for me.

The other one I felt that way about was my Fendi peekaboo. And bless the handbag gods, I still feel that way about it. If I could afford to have a second one boxed up in reserve for when this one falls apart, I would do it lol.

@Jereni Great curated 5 question and bag choices. I love your Peekaboo.
@BowieFan1971 beautiful curated 5 bags. The Pico is a lovely pop of colour.
@baghabitz34 wonderful curated 5. I like your Charlie and your Gucci Soho Disco, is it blush pink?
@880 I love your curated 5. You can’t beat a bag your DH calls the sexiest in the world!
@whateve fantastic colours in your curated 5. My favourite is your Gramercy satchel and dragonfly charm.

I ended buying a blue bag this week as it turns out.

My Bottega Veneta love continues, in this case with the Arco tote. They make some huuuge versions of this bag, but this is the mini size and it’s adorable.

Got some greenish tones to it too. Can’t wait to wear it with all my spring outfits!

@whateve most amazing pink and purple bags! I love your Sabrina, Emery, Bal and BV bags.
@msd_bags wonderful pinks. I love your Ferragamo tote and your Nodini.
@CoachMaven great purple and pinks from brights to pale pink. The pink croc is a show stopper.

My pink bags

2016:
• Prada Mini Double Zip Tote in Tamaris (salmon pink) saffiano leather w/ghwView attachment 5013873
2021:
I still have the Prada which I love!

I’ve added:
• Miss Dior Sliding Chain in Hot Pink Lambskin w/shw
• Fendi Mini Mon Tresor in pale pink leather w/ mixed silver and rose gold hardwareView attachment 5013874View attachment 5013875

I adore pink but struggle to find pink clothes that match my style - they always seem to be black or white. So, pink bags are a great way for me to get my pink fix and keep my outfits fun and feminine.

I would buy another pink bag in a heartbeat if I found one in a style that added something to my collection.

I remember feeling exactly the same way when I say this stingray Chanel in the boutique. I didn't buy it though. I couldn't figure out how I would use it enough to justify the expense. It was stunning!

I am not even into purple and looking at everybody’s collection I feel like I should be.

Yes and it is usually a mistake :P.
I tend to think over my purchases a lot. With new launches I feel very enthusiastic at first, and then the thrill dies down, so I know not to make impulsive buys.

Those are more frequent with vintage bags, because they are more unique and they are a weakness. I once went to the market for fish and came back with a Chanel bag instead. I bought my vintage Constance on impulse too and it is one of my more treasured bags. I love that feeling of finding something sort of by chance.

That said, my first Constance was a box and toile from the late 60s that I had always thought was one of my dream bags. I couldn’t believe it when I found it in beautiful condition and went for it without a second thought. And then I never wore it.
