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.

I feel like an old goat, for sure. Several months ago a friend asked me what it stands for, and when I found out and told her we both just rolled our eyes. And now I'm one!

I’m one of the older people in my work environment, and the young’uns find my confusion about slang to be funny. So I heard OG before it came up here, but ... it was silly.

In my defense, “bougie” and “bolshie” sound very similar, and I couldn’t figure out why someone was calling me a Bolshevik

Me: “How was your holiday?”
Them: “Gucci!”
Me: “So did you call a hit man on your relatives or just turn them in to the IRS?”
Them: ...

Them: “So, you’re like one of the OG’s around here.”
Me: ?!?
Them: “Original Gangster?”
Me: “Yeah, me and Al Capone, we were totally a thing.”
A few hours later to another colleague: “How old is she, again?”

I love the new avatar!

.. The bags I reach out the most, right now, or rather, that I find excuses to reach for, even if there are no so many fitting occasions (and of course this is season/weather dependent, here it is freezing Spring at the moment):

- The BV Bulb crossbody (which has replaced the Gucci Disco)
- Hermes rouge H plum. This bag makes me so happy.
- Constance in prune
- The Goyard SL (but really, because it is such a practical shopping tote. To be replaced by a basket soon)
- Hermes Faco as my clutch option of choice right now.

So I am really going for no/minimal hardware bags at the moment... with the exception of the Constance, which I find such an easy bag and somehow never bores me...

I like your list of the bags you are reaching for the most right now. Can we see pics?

This feels like another fun exercise for the group. What bags are you reaching for the most right now? Certainly this may be influenced by spring (if you are in the northern hemisphere), but maybe not. Does it say anything about your handbag trends?

Right now I’m reaching for:
- Chanel blush pink mini, probably due to newness but it’s also a great color for spring
- BV large pouch, bc I am completely obsessed with its puddleness
- Polene orange nano, possibly color? It’s such an easy bag too, and the perfect size
- Coach Willis 18 in chalk
- Fendi peekaboo, because always

I’d love to find some trends in there for myself but I’m not sure I can. Two satchels, two shoulder bags, 1 clutch. 4 of them are smooth leather, but the Chanel is not. Hmmm.

Oh this is fun.

Love your five bags too.
What color is your Peekaboo? Isn’t there a color story going on?

I love that you are using your Pouch so much... makes me double guess myself each time, that I didn’t make it work. How are you using it?

lol! It's a vintage Coach I bought from Goodwill for $14 6 years ago. I didn't carry it much before because it is small and not a color that goes with much of my wardrobe. I have since downsized my wallet so I can use it as a daily bag and I also got some clothes that go with it. I love that it is in perfect condition. I wish it had a back pocket.

This is a fun exercise. It probably won't work for me right now as I'm trying to carry as many different bags as I can. I haven't carried them in so long, it is almost like they are new to me.

It is really pretty. I like the color. I have just about gotten over an outside pocket as a dealbreaker. But I still prefer one for convenience.

I really like the color. The strap width also looks perfect for comfort. All around an adorable bag.
