A brand or style I was never that crazy about until I bought one:
dior LD or saddle
i always thought the original LD with gold hw was super matronly and 1980s flashy , and I ended up buying a fabric around the world embroidery with matte black hw.
I hated the original saddle bag (hated the CD logo, the hardware, the shape, the dinky strap, and I ended up with a mens saddle with integrated ergonomic adjustable crossbody saddle)
the chanel boy bag
i always hated the boy bag until I saw a micro in stingray
the
loewe puzzle
i thought my moms loewe puzzle, size small, was stumpy and ugly until I bought a mini loewe
a brand or style I loved but have cooled on:
i used to wear most styles short shoulder carry; now, I am mainly handheld or crossbody
I used to love the CF, double flap, but for the last 20 years have been a reissue person. I still loathe every beige Claire CF I’ve ever bought, and I am still not really a fan of caviar leather
ive owned many H Evelynes, and now only use my TPM; the other sizes make me feel like a soccer mom
I used to love the H Victoria and the bolide, and now not so much
i was obsessed with the JPG shoulder Birkin, and realized when I finally got one that it was a bulky, heavy, uncomfortable
since I’ve cut down on what I carry, I don’t use my 30Bs or 28Ks as much as I should
ive come full circle on hardware
the calvi is too bulky for a card case and somewhat impractical if you only carry one or two cards.
the large zip wallet from
Prada saffiano to the azap is simply too heavy not to mention bulky
I used to adore the BV hobo, cabat, and knot, especially in ebene or dark metallic, and now, they leave me a bit cold.
i used to wear a lot of Prada, including Prada Buffalo leather carryons, YSL, Gucci, and some LV (epi, metallic, limited edition, neverfulls) leather bags, now not so much.
I’ve given away judith leiber clutches
i adore old style balenciaga and
Fendi baguettes, but they’re simply not my style and they don’t work on me.
i keep one Goyard St. Louis as a travel bag, but they are so ubiquitous where I am that I don’t really use it
@DME, I like wolford underpinnings (they run large). Or hanro (more true to size). Or for travel or workouts, lululemon makes synthetic underwear i packs of three (easy to hand wash, takes up little room, dries quickly, runs very large). i am a size 38-40Fr; size 6-8 US, and thick waisted, and I’m constantly looking for extra small lulu underpinnings, IDK what actually slim people do). I think vuori may still make a long line sports bra that can sort of double as a tank under a cardigan in a pinch. Zimmerli makes fabulous, light, skim the body tanks (i steal from DH’s drawer), but they are expensive. I have lots of expensive fancy underwear, bought when I was younger, but I hardly ever wear it. For one, I don’t wear much underwire any more.
