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 imagine that it is lightweight for the size and it is for people who want others to know what brand they are carrying. My daughter got one last year. It was her dream bag.

I'm not a fan of LV mono. I have never owned any LV. Every time I go near a LV store, they are crowded. Once I went inside and a woman was buying the exact same mono purse she owned. I guess the old one was starting to look tattered.

A client of mine had one she got as a gift from her MIL…she hated it because it was heavy (I held it…it felt like there was a weight in the bottom and it was empty) and the skinny straps dig if you are carrying anything more than basic purse stuff.

I’m not one to care a bit if a lot of other people carry my bag. Heck, I just got a black Chanel flap which is the opposite of unique. But my issue with the Neverful is that it’s unremarkable at best. So having seen it endlessly, it goes from blah to why to please make it stop.

I’m sure I carry bags that make people’s eyes bleed so I’m not one who can throw stones. I’m just genuinely puzzled about what the broad appeal is. But, it’s there. People who have the bag, love the bag.

I have the mono Medium version and I don’t love it but I can say it is lightweight, it hold A LOT so I use it for laptop or mini excursions and also it’s a mono piece with not too much vachetta so you don’t have to worry about rain etc. nowadays I don’t carry it that much, I purchased too when I was younger and I believe at 1/3 of what it costs today. Given the current price, I don’t think I would purchase either for what it is. But I wouldn’t let go of it either!

I also had it with the darker pink lining but never loved it like I did the BH that I gave my daughter. The strap drop for me was just to short. I was always terrified I would get deodorant on the vachetta straps in the heat of the summer. I sold almost all my larger totes. I have one leather tote but recently realized when I fill it with my art supplies it is to heavy. I need to find an inexpensive tote to carry my art supplies to class that doesn't look to bad, we often run a few errands before class.

I would reccommend Michael Kors jet set. Same concept but more sturdy, although that would make it a bit heavier

Perhaps a backpack to distribute the weight?

I thought of this and on days I don't have to carry a drawing board that could work. The drawing board is a rectangular piece of wood, with the watercolor taped down on it. I tried carrying it separate in an atheleta bag and it worked but that is a shopping bag and now falling apart.

One last idea - small roller bag? There are some shaped like back packs and some half the size of a carryon.

It´s immaculate, was packaged beautifully and came with its dustbag, card, care booklet and their little envelop.

In 2022, I would like to only buy things that reflect my aesthetic and sense of self as much as this reflects yours!

i love this and can happily imagine you using it everyday! Congrats :biggrin:
