[Sparkletastic]

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.

Another bag for pink week lol.

well - how pretty is this?!? Congratulations!

What’s everyone’s opinion of quality of Ferragamo bags? Found a black smooth leather, leather lined Boston bag that looks really good, rich leather.

I really like Ferragamo. They are not on everyone’s radar; and so are... uhm.... sneaky quality. I have two now (had 4), and both are excellent bags.

Got this one for a song...hope it feels as good as it looks!View attachment 5020812View attachment 5020814

Oh! I looked at this! Congratulations - it’s gorgeous! ❤️❤️❤️

Well, I gave it a good run this week (and am so looking forward to switching it out). Yeah, I had to put my files into side pocket upright and it looked kinda bad. Oh well. It’s just not ideal for my work..but again, it would be perfect for an office. I’ll carry it through the weekend as I doubt I’ll reach for it anytime soon..(poor bag) What color for next week?View attachment 5020832

Well, you gave it your Best - good for you!
Next week is - ohbestillmyheart - Black Bags. My mostest favorite. ❤️


Why do I have this outstanding, unreasonable, uncontrollable LOVE of black bags?
(smack me if I start making drooling noises next week )

 

[More bags]

A general question about color weeks -- I noticed we don't have a week for beige bags. I wonder if we could have a separate week for beige? Or maybe include it with gray?

@Jereni, the five bags I would probably pick as part of my curated closet:
Chanel Coco Handle in black: Perfect day to evening bag.
Pochette Metis in turtledove: Casual beige bag that goes with everything and is good for daytime errands and running around.
Dior Promenade Pouch in black lambskin: Bigger than a wallet on chain and a great evening bag.
Delvaux Tempete in honey brown: When I need a slightly larger bag (but not too large). Also, I love a brown bag!
Lady Dior in black lambskin: Just love this bag. (Although I should probably pick a tote to round off the five).

I love your curated 5!

My pink/purple/violet collection:
View attachment 5020266Pretty much the same as last year. Floral Ted Baker, Coach Rogue in dusty pink, Coach Charlie Bucket in vintage mauve, Gucci Soho Disco in peonia, LV Hyde Park in fuchsia, Coach Tea Rose Rogue in primrose, LV raisin Retiro and miscellaneous SLGs.

Gorgeous pink goodies - it makes my heart beat fast to enjoy your lovelies!

Congratulations on your Ferragamo BowieFan. I had a Ferragamo in a stamped leather, no issues with it.

It is just such a delight to see all the tones of pink/rose. what is the bucket tote just above the Gucci?


Ferragamo leather is just so nice. I had (still have) a wallet that I used for years and it’s still in great shape. Nice bag!

This one? It’s the Charlie Bucket from Coach in vintage mauve.

Funny thing is, I didn’t even like pink until a few years ago. Now it’s one of my favorite go to’s for a neutral or pop color.

That a really versatile color! Goes with just about any cool or cooler neutral. Nice!

Love my Ferragamo bags! I think I have four, plus my favorite wallet is Ferragamo. Great quality, and under the radar.

This is fabulous. Your mom is going to be so happy!! (Speaking as a mom who has a major birthday coming up whose DD lives on about what a new B costs LOL).
And your DH - can't fool him!

Thank you @momasaurus! Yes, major birthdays and once in a blue moon gifts (to be clear i dont see the need - for my personal bag carrying enjoyment — to ever even remotely approach or exceed the retail price for these bags when is a world of other fabulous stuff, but I dont have a grail bag, and (cough) clearly my mom did
ITA with @doni re being careful re styling white bags; am thinking of 1980s embarrassing photo moments involving bad perms and polka dots and knickers.
@ElainePG, it sounds like there are a ton of choices available to you at your size; I’m totally envious! If you have a good tailor they can even adjust the shoulders.
@BowieFan1971, love your new ferragamo black bag
@Cookiefiend, i love black bags too! Cannot wait!

In my country, Ferragamo is popular as a high end quality bag. I was a bit surprised when I joined tpf that it is not as popular elsewhere, or at least in the US. I only have my pink Ferragamo tote so I can’t speak to its quality overall. But I love my tote!

I only knew their shoes, which are great. My favorite pair of shoes I ever owned were Ferragamo...until my then dog chewed on one. I about wanted to cry. But I did not know if their bags lived up to their reputation for shoes. Nice to know they do!

That is a wonderful shade of pink.

I love your pink Ferragamo tote also! But the pink bag of yours that I REALLY love is your pink quilted Marc Jacobs. I'm so glad to see that you still have it. Such an elegant style, and the color is swoon-worthy.
