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.

@papertiger, hope your boiler situation is fixed asap and thanks for responding. Your vintage RTW sounds amazing

@cowgirlsboots, @Jereni, all, fingers crossed that you are okay and only have the mildest of symptoms

@whateve, hope your son settles safely in his new home. I personally like a low key holiday

@Sparkletastic, your thought process sounds perfect! Also the sweet spot of 30-35. @diane278 used an overflow closet to figure out if she could live without x bag. I come to grips with the idea that I need to let go of something that is perfect for someone else, but not me (thus the 31 trim and JPG to a friend) I feel lighter and better.

i was thinking about other luxury brands, namely delvaux and Moynat, the latter of which I ruled out almost immediately. O went to delvaux for the first time today to look at a clouds and sky Magritte charm (The boutique is roughly my neighborhood and on my way to shops I frequent, and I’ve admired the charm for months). DH finally persuaded me to go in to see it close up. I’m not a lighthearted charm person so passed. But the it’s not delvaux bag was very cute as were a few others. Theyre priced like hermes and Duret, so I’m in no rush. Its nice to learn and admire but feel no desire to purchase.

I feel the same way considering Delvaux even though I have one (not to mention Valextra, Moynat and whoever else). If I didn't have any bags it would be one thing but if you have plenty of H, any other bag of considerable expense needs to be extra something or completely different to compete. Having said that, if they allowed me into France atm, I'd make a beeline to Paris and Maison Schiaparelli.

Maison Schiaparelli.
Click to expand...

I’ve been thinking about Schiaparelli, but the jewelry
. Not sure I have the length of body, the attitude, or the lifestyle to pull it off, plus venturing into bergdorf Goodman during the month of December is like really awful rush hour traffic in the subway pre Covid.

i may wait for the excitement to die down before taking a glimpse

the bag that I wish I knew about in time to purchase is the Mary katrantzou Bulgari top handle. I saw a lanvin bag that looked like the same manufacture, but it didn’t speak to me the same way. It will be the one that got away

I know the one you're talking about, and some of the Lanvin are very interesting.

Yes to some of the Schiaparelli jewellery (particularly one pair of earrings and a couple of brooches). Schiaparelli's nose bag reminds me of Hermes Napoleon (and I always wanted one of those) and looks to be such good quality.

Just checking in... sorry I´ve been missing.
Our boy brought Covid home from school on the 6th and DH and me got it too. We´ve been isolating ever since. I think our symptoms were/ are on the mild side, still that darned virus really affects us. I´ve been feeling between burnout and totally drunk for most of the time and mainly sit/stand and stare... naturally all Christmas plans are cancelled.

I hope you all are fine and safe!

I used be a better knitter and crocheter than I am now. I just found a box in the back of the closet full of sweaters I made years ago, many with cables and intricate patterns. Now I use bulky yarn with large needles in stockinette or garter stitch.

Same here. In fact, the only thing I knit these days is scarves for charity. I can't bear to use acrylic yarn, so I've found washable wool. The organization I donate to has told me it's fine, as long as I attach washing instructions.

I figure the time spent knitting is time I'm not on line ogling handbags! :lol: (It didn't keep me from that PS1, though…)
