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 only have one bag that’s considered metallic, and from everyone’s stunning metallic collections it’s apparent that I should consider more! My metallic bag is a Massaccesi Aura with a special leather in which floral patterns in silver is being melted into the leather. It’s a bag that could be worn both over the shoulder or crossbody. A nice bag for spring and I look forward to wearing her more in the next few weeks to come.

@Vintage Leather , I keep meaning to ask you… what does "bougie" actually mean these days? I thought it was the French word for candle (well, it is, but I'm sure that's not the way your young co-workers are using it). And there was a movie a long time ago called "Boogie Nights," but that's not it either. So in what OTHER way am I totally out of it??? :hrmm:

Apparently it’s short for bourgeois.

And it’s slang for someone who likes designer things and argues their superiority.

I might - reluctantly -accept the description (although I still say that the bourgeois strive to be like me) but I don’t accept being called a Bolshevik

Actually bougie is more someone who is into the designer lifestyle and thinks it makes them better, that they forget where they came from. It’s not the superiority of the product, it’s how the product makes the user/owner a superior person. I highly doubt you are bougie.

I about peed myself when I read you heard Bolshie... Not with a designer bag, you ain’t! :lol:

This! When someone calls you bougie, it’s meant as an insult.

For the Hermès fans....if Courcheval leather has a crease in it from not being stored properly and has a ripple texture in the crease, can that come out with conditioning or be fixed? The bag is 27 years old. Not familiar with that leather, but my experience with other bags is it can’t be conditioned or steamed out or the texture restored.
