My happy week- brown and tan bags. The dark honey/camel color, like Coach British tan or Saddle, Hermès Gold or Natural Barenia, and aged vachetta, is my favorite color leather. Warm, glowing, organic but rich and sophisticated. I have decided that my Bolide will be in this color, not black, because that is what makes my heart sing and since it will be my most expensive bag, I want my heart to sing every time I wear it. May get rid of D&B satchel and LV Bucket, Coach tote when I get Bolide.

-Straw bag with wooden handles from my son
-Coach Bay tote
-LV Saleya PM DE
-LV Speedy 25 Mono
-LV Bucket GM Mono
-LV Alma PM Mono from my DH
-Fendi Pequin canvas crossbody (my restoration bag)
-Dooney and Bourke small satchel
-LV Papillon 30 DE
-Gucci Abby mono tote

Lovely collection! I agree with your decision on the Bolide. Buy what makes your heart sing, especially at that price.

The last one is a sneak peek of the new Ralph Lauren. Not a great shot but best I could get before he stored it. View attachment 5044858View attachment 5044859View attachment 5044860View attachment 5044861View attachment 5044862View attachment 5044863

Sorry, but the title of the best DH in the world is taken today. My first anniversary present, straight from France! I wanted her since the moment I saw her. She reminds me of my flemenco instructor and the color and the energy is....

I am a lucky woman.View attachment 5044818View attachment 5044819

I love this beautiful scarf! Lucky woman it looks gorgeous on you!

Loved seeing everyone’s stunning brown & tan collection. It’s one of those colours that is neutral but also have so much variety at the same time. I only have three so far and love them.

This Gucci bag was passed down from my mom. She bought it about 10 years ago during a family trip to New York at the outlet mall. It looked so good on her! She finally let me have it a year ago. It still looks as good as the day she got it, the leather is smooshy with just a little bit of structure, and the hardware is still pristine.

Adding a photo of the back because it also looks very nice


This bag is from Massaccesi. The leather is very thick and chewy, I love touching it and petting it!


I got this Fendi Spy hobo earlier this year for a steal! The craftsmanship is exquisite, you can tell lots of work has been put into the little details. It was my first Fendi.

Here it is on...unintended but I saw it when I wore it that it reminded me of a tiger lily, which is my favorite flower and was supposed to be my wedding flower. How perfect is that!!!!!!!!

I bought the Perry triple compartment tote. It’s mock crock & the color is claret. It’s so pretty!

That color is stunning!

These look so huggable. You just want to reach out and touch the leather.

I love all of these! I don't think I've ever seen that version of the Fendi spy before. I prefer it over the others with the mini flap hanging over the top. That Massaccesi hobo is my favorite of all his styles that I've seen.

My brown and tan bags.

From back left:

• Longchamps Le Pliage Cuir
• Celine ‘big bag’
• Fendi peekaboo
• Proenza Schouler PS11 tiny
• Coach mini Dreamer

I love brown/tan as a bag color almost as much as taupe and have like 2 or 3 I want at any given time.

Love the Celine! Your Coach mini Dreamer is so cute. I have a regular sized one in black and it was my preferred work bag back when offices were still open.

Beautiful leathers!!!!

Thank you so much! I don't know why it took me so long to warm up to brown. I bought bags in all colours of the rainbow but didn't try brown until this year (the Fendi is my first brown bag, not including the brown Gucci that I talked my mom out of).

These look so huggable. You just want to reach out and touch the leather.

Thank you! The leathers are divine.

Ohmigosh - that Fendi is FABULOUS!

Thank you! Fendi has since become a rabbit hole for me after that first bag

Thanks so much! This Massaccesi style is also one my my favourites (my other favourite is a messenger style reminiscent of the Mulberry Alexa and Proenza Schouler PS1). This one here is also made in my favourite leather from him.

I love the color of your Celine bag. In my eyes that is the prefect shade. Is it very heavy?
