Thank you! :smile: It's particularly good for travel as it's quite under the radar, with minimal branding.

Looks like next week's topic is bags that don't count. I assume this includes bags that are earmarked for departure from our collections? Interested to see what others include in this category.

That week was at my suggestion! I expect we’ll all have a different definition of what this is and I’m OK with that, not to mention very interested in seeing the takes others here will have on this topic and the reasons behind their thinking. For me personally, I won’t include anything in my “closet for departing bags” (with credit to @diane278 for coining this phrase) on my list since I’ve already decided to let them go, but that’s just me. If you want to include them in your list, then please do!

I agree that we will all probably have slightly different definitions of this. I am going to think about it a bit, but will probably include my bags in the "closet for departing bags" in this category. The thing is, until they've actually left my closet, they're still there, and yet, they're not a part of active usage or rotation, so they don't count. Well, at least that is my reasoning, lol.

Found a pic of my Promenade bag. The chain is detachable, which is nice, and it holds more than the wallet on chain, which is very useful.

She is so elegant in black!
I think my leopard version is a Promenade model, too, but totally different vibes.

Thank you for reminding me that the strap is detachable and I could use the bag as a clutch.

Your leopard Promenade bag is adorable! I agree about the different vibes, and I think the leopard version is quite rare -- I have never seen one before. It's the perfect size for a clutch!

I usually define “don’t count” bags as ones that, for some reason, cannot work in the daily rotation.

For example, luggage and duffle bags. Too big.
Gym bags. Too big and often packed and in-use.
Laptop bag. Too slim and too divided.
Knitting bags. In use and full of loose tiny things that make it a pain to empty them.

This is a good definition, and probably the definition most of us would use. I have a laptop bag, and small to mid-sized duffle bags that I don't count either.

Thank you so much!
Actually I´ve never seen the leopard in real life, either- except for mine which has been lingering in the classifieds for months while I kept waiting for the price to go down... it did in the end, significantly and I bought it. :biggrin:

For me - bags that don't count are bags I only carry because I 'need' a particular function.

Travel bags - my Longchamp Le Pliage Neo is a bag I only carry when I travel. It's a very handy and needed bag, but that's the only time I carry it.
Formal bags - I have 2 - one navy velvet and one burgundy suede with silver beading - definitely not everyday bags but needed.
A Lilly Pulitzer clear plastic crossbody - for stadium events. I learned my lesson the day I forgot that clear bags go right through security, while the very cute and comfy MZ Wallace had to be inspected... :hrmm:
Bags that are on the way out - I have been trying to sell my Just Campagne Deville 2 for over a year; I bought another T Burch McGraw but I hate the leather - so anything that I'm selling or considering donating - doesn't count. Those bags are invisible to me... :blah:
