Ugh, yes, DC weather was hunker down-style today! Cold and rainy.

While I can’t say as though I have a cuddly bag, I did succumb to this one yesterday at the Coach outlet. I am not a big Coach person, but I love Peanuts and Woodstock is a family fave.

Omg! I love snoopy. I would go to the outlets if we weren't in a blizzard at the moment and get it.

It was a cold and wintry day all day today and I was in a super ‘burrow in’ sort of mood. That got me thinking about appropriate bags - what is the most cuddly, wintery bag in your collection?

Mine is probably my cashmere plaid Burberry pocket bag. Pictured with cuddly nutcracker bc why not??!

The bag looks so soft to the touch and chic. Love the nutcracker!

Not to enable (because we are supposed to be shopping our own closet after all), but I’m pretty sure you can order from the Coach outlet online. I think this collaboration came out several weeks ago - one of my employees mentioned it to me, but I only just had time to check it out - so I’m not sure what all is left in stores/online, but you could always check their website to avoid the snow.

Thanks!!! I have a … ahem… serious nutcracker/smoker collection. I could probably do a photo series of pairing purses with nutcrackers.

DME said:
Haha, love your definition of cuddly! It’s definitely not soft like I would image your bag is (and the bags of @whateve and @JenJBS are), but the cuddly sentiment is there.

Hahaha cuddly sentiment - love it.

Love this idea!

Maybe in 2023 we can do a challenge to pair our purses with a Collection - anything we collect (besides purses)? Nutcrackers, pottery, art, sunglasses, whatever. It would be fun to see what people collect.

I probably ‘led the witness’ in terms of bringing it up lol. Regardless, I’ll share some tomorrow.

@JenJBS GREAT idea in terms of a general theme to pair purses with other collections.

My Bottega Veneta Bulb (mini size) arrived. I love the style even more in person. And the BV leather is divine! I couldn't resist getting a medium.

TPF has turned me into a total leather snob.

Top 3 favorites:
Bottega Veneta
Balenciaga chevre
The Row

Least Favorite:
Saffiano - especially cheap saffiano

What are your favorite / least favorite leathers?

#1 unlined vintage Coach leather, especially that from the mid to late 90s
#2 vintage Coach pebbled Sonoma leather
#3 Bottega Veneta cervo
#4 buttery soft lambskin
#5 suede
#6 Balenciaga chevre
#7 Balenciaga agneau
#8 some nonvintage Coach leather, like my 2013 Legacy pebbled drawstring, 2014 pebbled whiplash Dakotah, and 2007 Bleecker


I have a lot of bags and most of them I bought because of the feel of the leather. Even my cheap Fossil bag has pretty nice leather.

Coach uses a leather for a lot of bags that I dislike even more than saffiano -- it is called cross-grain.

My teal Coach bag is that leather. I just thought of it as saffiano. Thanks for the info! I'm with you on it being  not good.
