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.

We are foodies. We love trying new restaurants. We like most kinds of ethnic food and we usually prefer that over a fancy place. Choices are very limited in the valley so when we travel we try to find interesting places. In our town, we eat a lot of Mexican food, some Thai or Muong, diner food, and non-authentic Chinese. Italian is limited to Olive Garden or Strings. We have a few very nice restaurants but their menus are limited so we don't eat there very often. There is a Mexican restaurant we eat at one or two times a week. They have a great variety of dishes, not just your typical stuff. My favorite cuisine is Indian but we have to drive to Fresno for that. I love New York pizza but it's hard to find in California. Many places claim to have it but they lie!

I tried Mexican for the first time yesterday, I think my friend fared better with the Polish dish she had. It was interesting though.

I forgot to post my only Mansur Gavriel bag last week. It’s a cloud clutch in such a great color that I have yet to carry

I was looking at these at Liberty, I think these are almost as nice as BV's Pouches for far less of the cost if people like the vibe (which I do). I have a vintage Sergio Rossi in metallic purple-blue with blackened hw that is very similar (if I ever find it I'll take a pic)

@Kimbashop , you inspired me this afternoon! When you wrote that you had acquired a PS1 Tiny, I began musing about how I had loved Proenza Schouler bags for years & years, but had never done anything about it. Well, December is my "birthday month," life has been piling up around me, and I decided that the time had come.

I didn't want to pay full price, though, so I set some limits. I had always thought the medium size would be right for my needs. And I also thought that the style would be best in a neutral color: tan, brown, or olive. Plus, if I found one at a good price pre-loved, it had to have a no-hassle return policy. So… inexpensive, medium size, very good condition, neutral color.

This is the one I found at Fashionphile (screenshot from FP site). I especially love the silver hardware. :heart: Happy birthday to meeeeeeeeeeee! :presents:

I didn't realize this was Gucci week!
This is my Queen Margaret, with the big honking bee clasp. I make it a point to carry it in December, because it's so festive. Unless it's raining, which it has been this week.

So you guys want me to post my 40+ Guccis and 15 x H (& 1.5 MJ) bags in one post? :shocked: :cray:

I don't want to break tPF so if you can remember them/any I'll take requests :biggrin:

Break it! Break the site. Heck, break the whole darn internet! Your Gucci's are epic enough, the deserve to make a statement.



On a more serious note, it's probably also a lot of bags to haul out and get a group shot. So if you're taking request, your silver (or was it gold) metal Gucci clutch. And the Sac Mallette from your grandmother?

Hey all! I’ve been crazy busy recently. Hope everyone’s been well. :wave:

We had fun in Hawaii and just came back from 2 weeks in Scottsdale. Both a wonderful time but I’m impatient to travel internationally again. Stateside is a yawn. LOL!

So many lovely bags in the showcase! :hbeat: I haven’t been able to keep up with all but enjoyed what I saw.

Mr. Sparkle just bought me a black caviar Chanel Jumbo CF to replace the black patent I sold last year. I think this is the capstone on my Chanel collection. I love ‘em but how many chain strap quilted flap bags can a gal own? :lol: And when new ones are 3x what we paid for early ones in my collection, the cost feels unjustified.

I’ve also thought about what bag I could want next and am drawing a blank. There is literally nothing calling my name. So, I’m curious. As you thoughtfully shop your closets, what new bag would be the perfect next addition? Ignore cost and share what the perfect next bag for you would be. :smile:

Really looking hard at a new Loewe Amazona in Mink. I purchased two older models from Fashionphile to try to appease my lust. So far its not really working. I've decided that Loewe is one of my favorite designers.
Also looking at the Celine Romy.

My bags for this week:

One lonely Gucci. Ugh. Need to sell this one.

My Hermes!! The Evelyn and Lindy are my most carried bags. True work horses. I have yet to carry the Bolide, and I've had her for months!

I dug deep in my closet to find my Marc Jacobs Stam and this hobo. Now, I don't want to put the Stam back. Love this bag. I don't care that she weighs a ton and is so 2000.20211216_140929.jpg20211216_141249.jpg20211216_141855.jpg
