Thanks @Claudia Herzog for the suggestion

Wear a bag that has a backstory involving a person, place, or opportunity for which you feel grateful.

Its really beautiful. I can’t seem to find it on their site. I browsed all their categories. Do you have a direct link?

I bought it before she put it to the website.

This is stunning. This is a gorgeous shade of red.

Thank you! She said it's raspberry.

Such beautiful pictures. It looks like it's already yours!

Pleading the fifth. (But yes, I keep a spreadsheet, so I know )

Talking about books and book storage, this is what I did during last lockdown (which was one year ago, oh my God, how did this whole year all happen? ).

I have always be tempted but also found it too childish and Instagrammy, and, you know, not intellectual enough... But I thought what the hell.
And then I was so surprised how well it works for me. It is easier for books to stay organized (before they were in alphabetical order and they always ended up a mess). Plus, because I have such a visual memory, it is actually often easier for me to find a book now, which I was really surprised to find out!

I am even considering to do my other bookshelf (art and other big books) in this lockdown...

Beautiful books, it looks so pretty in your pictures, interior design worthy pics!

Agreed!

I'm catching up on everyone's posts, I've been nursing my sick kitty back to health. She's doing so is doing much better, i'm relieved! She scared me a bit, I love her so much!

I hope things calm down soon. Have you tried adult coloring books or just a sketch pad and a pencil. These can be relaxing. You could design your perfect bag on a sketch or just make pretty colored squiggles, what ever makes you happy.

Love adult coloring books. They’ve helped me relax during this past year when I don’t want to watch tv & don’t have the focus to read.

I will include taupe in brown week. Coach Charlie Bucket in taupe and MCM Boston in urban taupe

 

[baghabitz34]

[baghabitz34]

A lot of brown bags for a person who claims she doesn’t like brown bags

 

[mariliz11]

@baghabitz34 love your collection! especially the MCM with the turquoise detail and the caramel Neonoe are to die for!

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 just love the way the polka dots pop. And genius to pair it with grey. Again, Happy Year-A-Versary!

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.

Terrific hobo bags. And lucky you, to have a Mom with terrific handbag style… and generous, too!

Most of my bags are within the brown/tan family (love browns specially rich browns and rusts) so I thought I would contribute this week, but haven’t got round to it.



Now, that is a nice surprise! Perhaps I should go count my bags too.

I need HELP. Since I am enjoying my new BV little Spring tulip so much I am reconsidering my whole bag wardrobe (again). I feel all I want is bags with NO hardware. No logos, no nothing. I find I need white, and green... I am still considering the Loewe’s Balloon (I don’t have any bucket bag and it is so beautiful), and now they are coming with the Paula’s collection full of vibrant baskets that scream Summer. And I am also looking at the big Bulb, and thinking, wouldn’t it make such a great fit everything shoulder bag... And considering a small BV in minimal white... Oh dear...

Please excuse me if you've done this before, but have you uploaded a bag list? Do you still find yourself reaching to your other handbags? Do they give you that irrational sense of joy?

Oh my - a bevy of brown beauties!!

 

[ElainePG]

My brown bags are the same as last years (and possibly the year before that too!)
LV Pallas and Just Campagne Confort 1
View attachment 5045664

Love the slouch on both of these. I considered the Pallas, but ultimately it seemed like more of a work bag to me. Stunning design, though!

 

[ElainePG]

My only brown bag. Aspinal of London Aerodrome briefcase.

Fabulous leather.
