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.

Finally I took photos of the bag organzier I made for the DKNY. It really makes a difference to the structure and practicability of the bag. What the photo doesn´t show: There´s a compartment for my wallet, another for the phone and a middle compartment to easily hold the pouch and other items like my keys. I made it from draining mats. The inside is a microfibre terry cloth. Nice and soft.

ahahaaa! I completely understand!

So pretty and I love the wood floors!

Thank you!

What a marvelous color!

Thank you! I also think they're timeless - and that's a good thing!

Wow - what an awesome collection!
The classic Pliage has its place - and I have a basic Neo for travel - but the floppiness in general is a big no-no for me - I hate a floppy bag. I've looked at the Cuirs - they often have fun linings (that no one sees but me but I love a fun lining), and they hold a ton - but you can't find anything! Apparently even with an organizer! :panic:


( I have to confess you've made me feel so much better - I'm NOT the only person who can lose something small in a small bag... how do things get *under* the organizer? )

Didn't you have the Black Stars for a bit? I actually have the one the same size as my Cuirs as well, but nylon after leather is sooooo floppy I just can't. I will eventually sell it, or give it to a friend...

My organizers are very square, and I usually tuck my umbrella/fan underneath. (The leather's not so precious that I feel I need to protect it and I'm from Seattle so rain, whateves, but sometimes it pours here.). So if I stuff something in quickly without looking sometimes it falls down the sides and is lost...

Love your LC collection especially the Sakura. I saw that in the store and I was afraid I might make it dirty — the white leather is scary! But beautiful. :heart:

what a space you have there! And I like how you placed your bags.

I also have not worn pointed heels since the pandemic. Not sure if I still can. :idea: Hopefully, yes.




I also use a LC pouch around the office to carry my phones and pen.

I actually have several Longchamp bags/SLGs but I don’t have a group photo of them. I have rehomed my Cuirs so I have mostly nylon LPs now. I’ll try to post my remaining leather bag later.

Thank you! I wore it constantly that 2-week period and it carried many books + laptop + ordinary purse well with no wear. I wore it the next summer to work as a laptop purse (with a shawl/umbrella over when it rained) and it's still pretty pristine.

Not to me, but your comment about pointed shoes... I had already lost a lot of high heel shoe ability because my workplace has cobblestones out front. After not going anywhere except in ballet flats for 2 years, I fail at everything :)

I'm interested in your nylon LC bags - why did you rehome your Cuirs? I never carried a nylon or canvas LP before the Cuirs so both felt so very shapeless to me... Is that a plus for you or something you accept because?

Love your Ferragamos! Does the blue floral one hold a decent amount?
Click to expand...
It's a fairly small bag, but can hold all my essentials for a day. Large-ish sunglass case, small wallet or Calvi, phone, keys, lip gloss, mask, etc
It would be too small for me to use as a daily/work bag. I bought it during the Ferragamo Spring sale because I just loved the pattern and colors so much.

I thought a lot about your question on why I rehomed my Cuirs. I guess it's because I have so many leather bags that it sort of lost its niche. I felt it is a bit casual as an office bag (my preference), and a bit too delicate for more rugged use. They were shapeless but I used an organizer so that was not a big issue for me. After some time, I almost always reached for other bags. The nylons, on the other hand, have a more distinct function for me. But I had to let go of some nylon Le Pliage/Neo as well since I just had too many. If I only need them for functional purpose, then I don't need a lot.

Thanks. I’m asking because they have the black floral version in the winter sale & I was wondering if it would be large enough to hold essentials.

I love the little doggie one. They are all very nice though.

Thanks, I like to use that one as a coin purse

Siblings on the round Bolide styles (and the little one up top). They hold a ton, and can nestle at the bottom of a bag or be stuffed in last minute upside down (skinny side down) at the last minute! Nice colors I haven't seen before!

They do hold a ton! I like to use them as catchalls in my medium to large size bags.
