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.

Here's 2021 black bags
balenciaga 2005 chevre black first
Balenciaga 2014 chevre black metallic edge city
L.K. bennett suede black clutch bag
L. k. bennett leather clutch bag
Coach- Saddle bag, I purchased this one as a teenager in the early 90s. I saved up enough $$ from my Wendy's job.
Vintage Hermes kelly 32cm purchased through an auction a few years ago.
Shinola crossbody bag. I use this bag on my travels.
the 30cm Birkin is gone. I loved the size and hardware, but I realized that the togo leather in black was not for me. the leather looked really faded, not a true black so off she went! i plan on replacing it with a Birkin with Veau Jonathan leather in black.

I have a bit of a predicament. My ex fiance purchased a few Louis Vuitton items for me around a year ago. Things escalated, became quite abusive, and we split up. I gave him another chance as I loved him very much but that just recently ended badly. I have since entirely cut him out. I now have these items that, while I love them, have some seriously negative ties. I don't know what to do with them guys. I do have a few options:

A.) I continue to love them as I have done for years despite their sordid past.
B.) I sell them to fund new Louis Vuitton pieces with better energy, if you will...
C.) I hide them and re-visit this discussion later.

If we're being entirely honest, seeing them atm makes me feel quite anxious and nauseous, as if his control is still there. I also love these items and I'd like to eventually get over their origin. I trust your opinions and feedback! You're all amazing.

Get them gone! What are they....maybe we know some people who would be interested. Use the money to buy new ones.

If it were me (I don't know your financial situation, so I don't know if this applies), I would actually liquidate all of the items and donate the money to a women's shelter. It would take the "ill-gotten" out of the goods and honor the spirit of something that he had tried to destroy.

I love this idea. I will be moving soon so every penny counts but I’d definitely like to give even a small amount. He left me three pieces : a mini pochette and two cles. I still use one of the cles but I think I would be able to sell one of them.

Mini pochettes are like gold right now. You can make money on it, the cles too.
