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.

If it looks black to you, then it serves as a black bag. I have a vintage bag I keep going back and forth on whether it is navy or black, but since I can't tell, it really doesn't matter.

Now that I know it is navy, I am amazed I did not see it before. The zipper is definitely blue. But it may be able to pass with certain outfits...

Maybe they are having it rechecked because the dustbag is fake. Just a thought .

Maybe, but their site has said since Friday that the authentication is complete and it’s ready for pickup. They are getting $450 from this...they could either be better communicating or more prompt about sending it out. They are holding my money and my merchandise. Getting kind of annoyed.

I've been noticing lately that with most of my online ordering, I'm getting shipping notifications days before the item is actually shipped. I bought a bag from a company that said they shipped it on 4/7. The tracking still says "label created, shipment ready for UPS."

Maybe try messaging them and ask what is the hold up.

Good Luck!
Now to hope UPS works properly! I hate UPS. Our driver is a nuissance and when I do not lurk at the window and run out to meet him the moment he arrives he will just drive away, again... "no doorbell". Exactly. But all the other couriers know what to do. This man doesn´t and I have explained it to him many times.

I feel like I achieved a semblance of purse piece by purchasing my Louis Vuitton Papillon 30. Whenever I see it I just feel so happy. I have it with me almost all the time. I don't really want anything else right now and it feels good.

Lucky you! Congratulations!
I keep wanting a bag, some bag, can´t even tell which one exactly and it drives me mad.
The only one I´m quite sure about wanting is on a classifieds site and the seller is totall unresponsive. I guess this means the bag is not meant for me. Still when I can´t get it, I feel I need it... Silly!

Oh, I have my fingers crossed. It went out USPS “priority” mail that is supposed to arrive in 2-3 days but they are already pushing it out beyond that.....you would think for $450 in commission and a delay due to authorizing it, they could send it out overnight or DHL. Those people get bags to my house from Japan in 36-48 hours on the regular, even with Covid!
