Recall I said I bought a bag that was really an action figure? :giggle:

Well, this is it. The Dior holiday minaudiere that came with… STUFF! :yahoo:

Look at all the goodies that came with it. I’m kinda loving the black toiletries case. And, I never wear lipstick bc it feels a little harsh. I wear colored lip stains or glosses instead. So, I’m excited to break out of my norm and try all of these colors!

Also, since mirrored bags are impossible to photograph, here is a stock photo. The little lipstick container is removable. View attachment 5288230
I doubt I’ll ever wear this as a bag but I adore Dior and this is a toy for grown ups! I’ll happily display it in my closet with my handbags. :biggrin:

(Chanel - shame on you for that advent calendar full of stickers!)

I love this! It's was the nicest holiday gift-set around.

I almost bought one too but I'm just not wearing the lipsticks I've bought in recent years can't just blame C-19, I'm mot a natural lipstick wearer either) and I'd bought some beauties.

Love how this thread is making me think through my handbag purchases.

I was considering which of three bags to get. One a stunning bag, but realistically I'd never use it based on the size and style. The second one was beautiful, but not my style.

I love my patent leather Mansur Gavriel bucket bag, but don't wear it much. It's too fancy, and the patent leather needs some babying.

I've been wanting another Fount bag since I got my first one. My third option - Fount bucket bag, to replace my Mansur Gavriel bucket bag. 1 in, 1 out. And it's one I will use so much more than the other two options I was considering, or the patent leather bag.

Congrats on your bag, and on being thoughtful about the purchase.
I have difficulties with patent leather too. I love pale pink patent leather, but light patent colors can be more prone to discoloration, if I recall correctly.
Enjoy your bag!

I'm another person who doesn't really wear lipsticks much (even pre-covid). I do like a tinted lip balm, and those pretty much tend to be the mainstays in my wardrobe.

Firstly, nice to "see" you back here! I was gone also from the thread for most of 2021. The pandemic took away my "bag happiness". :sad: I am trying to be more active now to also help me feel some sense of normalcy. I hope you well too as you face this new year. :flowers:

You and I are both Mulberry lovers, if I remember right. Love love this color! :heart: I would want to have something in this color too from them. But I'm not yet ready to buy now and, maybe fortunately for my wallet, I have a Coach Cassie in this color (though 2 toned).

Lovely to “see” you too. Yes, I lost all my happiness too and was in a dark place. Not so much pandemic as a traumatic past which unexpectedly came back to bite me (but I’m sure the pandemic hasn’t helped). It’s hard to see the joy sometimes but I’m in a much better place. The wallet was my only bag/leather purchase last year other than a leather backpack for walking to and from work now I can’t drive first thing in the mornings due to medication. It was my first feeling of joy at bag shopping again in about October. I felt I had to have something in this amazing colour and went into Mulberry to look at the Lily and the mini Alexa. I couldn’t justify the expensive at the time so went for the wallet as a lovely bright pop of colour.

We clearly both love Mulberry and this colour!

I am such a Mulberry fan. It is really lovely. What is the set up on the inside?

Thanks very much. It’s very cheery isn’t it. It has several long slips for notes, a central zip for coins and 12 cards slots (6 on each side). Not sure if these quick snaps show it to best advantage. It just fits my iPhone 13 inside too if needed.
