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 would say it would scratch the itch depending how you plan to use it. If you like the more formal shape/feel of a rigid Bolide but want to use it for more of an everyday bag, the Alma is a good choice. It you want a relaxed Bolide with slouch, the Alma will never have that luxurious feel even though the hardware makes it feel more relaxed.

Hope that helps...when my baby arrives, I can take side by side pics of you’d like. :smile:

I don't think I've shared this new bag I bought. I had ordered it at the end of March. They sent me the wrong thing, but after I called, they sent out the correct one. It is a Coach Cashin 22 in cerise. The color is the perfect fuchsia, which is a color I had been looking for all last year. I had already gotten a fuchsia bag, very cheaply, last year but I couldn't resist this as it is a copy of a vintage Coach design from the 1960s, as shown in the second picture. Although I felt guilty about buying a new bag, I've found the style to be very easy to use. It has a central zip compartment and two open sections, both with pockets. It keeps me organized and I can easily pull out a mask, my phone or my sunglasses without having to unzip anything.View attachment 5061035

It’s actually just a pebbled taupe / beige but I think the bag just photographs really well for some reason. It’s not shimmery but it does look that way in photos and sometimes when I see it from across the room.

I found this pic online somewhere and saved it because this captures the bag really well. Somehow the leather catches the light and it looks like it has a sheen, even tho it doesn’t really? Hard to explain.

My embellished & jeweled bags: YSL vintage straw Kahala tote, Michael Kors Rhea backpack and this month’s latest addition the Gucci Dionysus super mini (another off my wishlist - I now think I am in hanbag peace!).

Oh I love the Dyonisus in white, it looks so chic. And that vintage YSL is fenomenal.

I would write a written complaint.

I wrote to the store I bought from. They did give me a discount code, but I think they have more clout to complain to UPS or change to another service provider, which is what I suggested they do.

and a screen shot from a few days ago, as the stock is shifting pretty fast - then the other options were all bicolored, looks like today it's RougeH/RougeH and gold/gold...

Waaaaant... but can not justify. And I suspect this will sell well and it will be around for a while. Uh, I hope.

Leather lined, totally bespoke and she was trained by Belgian techniques used by Delvaux. She's also a fantastic Belgian baby boomer

who is fun to message with about bags and will never make much money on this but she does it because she is super passionate about hand sewn luxury bags made with the most insane eye to quality.

I don’t think I have multi-color bags that I haven’t shared as part of a color week. But wanted to share another recent acquisition, which is the Valextra Iside in Oyster.

LOVING this bag. It’s funny, because I am also going thru a phase of wanting smoosh soft leather bags, and yet I love this. It is so classy and cures me of needing a Kelly.

You should report him to UPS.

As long as I can get my deliveries with some extra effort from my site I try to discuss it with him directly without reporting him (though we already had quite a few fruitless conversations.)
I think being a courier driver is not the best job and badly paid. He might have to feed a family.
When I order something and have the choice I stay away from UPS.
