The Confort is so pretty in that color! And I like the smooth leather. Makes the Deville look meh…

I knooowwwww!
(I have FInallY learned I prefer smooth leather )

Wow, just wow! Loving your outfits, too, especially the white jacket with black/white trim in the second photo. Is it Chanel?

Yes thank you, from 2021
Thank you for your kind words, @dcooney4 and @Cordeliere. I calculate whether I have had decent cost per wear when deciding whether to let something go. If I have decent cpw, then I might rather a loved bag go to someone I know who will appreciate it.

@ElainePG , virtual hug re family health.
@lill_canele, I get the rehoming of the dresses
Yesterday, I let the barenia 35 trim II go to a friend who adores it. I kept a forest green 35 Trim II as my rainy day bag; it’s better than some of my nylon bags.
I am trying to wear bags that haven’t gotten out much recently. I got my TGM picotin back from third party spa; it looks 1000 times better. Metallic grey vache liegee 30B, brushed PHW, by @docride . And my shiny croc chaine d’ancre is now a stunningly lux Matte croc with brushed HW, courtesy of @docride, who polished every scale. Pics cannot do them Justice lol

I have two Just Campagne bags.
One I love - the Confort 1. Gorgeous smooth leather, perfect size!
View attachment 5416442
And one I don’t - the Deville 2 - it also has a shoulder strap, which is handy. It’s very much like what I think an H Plume would be like.
So - no Plume for me (though I am looking at a Vibrato Plume… so purdy!)

The confort 1 is just the color I have been searching for. So pretty! I like the other one too,

Yes! I am also looking for this color, but in a shoulder bag... so. hard. to. find!
The Deville is a lovely bag - it's every well made, but for me it's the color, the leather, and it zips up. It just doesn't work for me!

May stats:

Bags in or out - 0
Scarves in - 5 in, 1 out. The 5 in: my first Marble scarf , a changeant 140 moussie, a 140 Plume silk, a Mythiques Phoenix Coloring, and Voitures Exquises Limited Edition for the Queen's Platinum Jubliee.

Read/listened to 3 books - The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo, The Wonder, and The Winemaker's Wife.
Currently re-reading Jane Eyre for an VRG: Liberty, Equality, Jane Eyre, and Adam Smith’s Lectures on Rhetoric - an online discussion group. I've never done this before so we'll see how it goes.

Carried 9 different purses in May, and all of my summer bags are out in the cubbys so I've been switching in and out easily.
Are there any challenges for June? I'm going to carry on carrying on, but I'd love to see more photos of what we're carrying!

Took the cat to the Vet , so hands free was the way to go.

Since we’re sharing raffia bags, here’s mine.

I posted it in the Aspinal of London thread, but not here. Like some others mentioned, I’d been looking for a raffia bag for a few years. I didn’t want to pay $1000s for what would be a seasonal bag for me. In late April/early May, AoL released their resort collection. They had two raffia totes, this is the smaller size. Looking forward to using it this summer.

Lovely! Seems like a lovely and highly functional summer bag.
