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.

This must be getting boring: more black starting with YSL from the Tom Ford era x2, 50ies vinyl small handbag, Jaguar 60ies frame bag, Abro crossbody, cheap but lovely clutch, 2 vinyl 40ies small frame bags, 40ies clutch, 40ies small frame bag, 50ies evening bags x2, Seeger 60ies top handle bag and one of my favourites: 40ies framebag.
I´ll stop here.... there certainly are more vintage black bags hiding!

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.

I say sell them. If they're making you nauseous and anxious, that's your answer right there.

I'm so sorry you had to go through this. It is extremely difficult to break free from an abusive relationship. It often takes several attempts. So I congratulate you on having found the courage to find your way out. You are a strong woman. :hugs:

Love all of them @cowgirlsboots ! is that a gorgeous dollhouse in the background (I love dollhouses)
@SakuraSakura, I originally recommended that you get rid of things that made you anxious, but I reread your post and I saw that you wrote that yu love these items and would like to get over their origins. . .
so, given the latter, I would say, you are strong and resilient and you could try putting them in a box (or closet of departing bags) and just let them rest until the negative energy is drained (kind of like how we were told to let groceries and deliveries rest in a corner at the beginning of covid shelter in place).

so now I vote C) hide them and revisit later :D

I can't believe it's finally my week! I decided to take advantage of the opportunity and take a family photo as this is also my curated collection and all my bags are black. My collection is simple, but it all serves a purpose and makes me happy to use them!

What a gorgeous family photo! I love the way you have curated your collection. So… I'm counting, and I see eight bags. Eight bags????? Is this your entire collection? :eek:

This has nothing to do with our weekly theme, but I did promise photos of my new PLG Mini Crossbody Tote (cranberry).

First a "carfie" and then a bag spill.

I'm impressed at how much this holds. Even with the iPad Mini it didn't feel overloaded. And I often don't even carry that with me; only if I expect to wait (usually in a doctor's office) for long enough that my phone won't keep me occupied.
