Here are 2 of my black bags for the month of October.
One is a LV top handle bag I used today. I fell in love with it the moment it was released. I loved the elegant school bag vibe it has.
The 2nd bag is a bag that I don't use a lot. I've always admired the trapezoidal shape without the "wings" on the sides.
The "wings" made the bag look bigger than I preferred, and I've been wanting to get "rid" of the wings for a pretty long time, but I didn't have the guts to do it.
I thought about selling the bag, but the resale price of this bag was really low, so I decided to hack the bag to a shape I really wanted. And now, I can't believe how much I love this bag!

Sorry for being AWOL everyone. I've been so busy with work and have 20 pages to catch up with. I only have had time to read on the train lately, nothing that needs concentration.

However, most of you will have had direct input into the decision to buy this briefcase. It's the Asprey red box leather Hanover briefcase I couldn't stop thinking about. It fits my new mini promotion.

All leather inside and out, all kitted out inside with pen holders, zipped pockets etc. Things that just seem to be missing from many work bags including the H Sac Depeche. I can carry my 13" laptop and/or ipad, no problem but it doesn't look too big or man-size.

Thank you so much for your help in choosing.

It looks much better that way and looks like it was always that way. I would have been too afraid.

Your new briefcase is beautiful! So understated yet a strong statement, so professional yet sexy: very power suit!
Congratulations on the new title!

Sorry folks, having a few challenges that have kept me distant over the last few days.

Just popping in with a reminder that bucket bags starts today. Thinking of @JenJBS @Jereni and @BowieFan1971 if I remember rightly. Enjoy sharing.
