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?

I’m super partial to smooth leathers … from a brand perspective, I think Celine does some of the best smooth leathers but they so often do a matte pebbled leather which makes me sad.

My overall favorite leather on bags I own is probably my Fendi peekaboo.

Also really love Coach smooth ‘glovetanned’ leather.

Kicking off a nutcracker pairing series for the sake of the Christmas eye candy.

First up: Celine Big Bag paired with Heidi, which is a nutcracker I inherited from my parents. This is the only female nutcracker I have. She is a Steinbach.

Next: Mulberry Lily top handle with ‘Father Frost / Jack Frost’ Santa nutcracker. This is my newest, I got him last year. He is from Christian Ulbricht.

This is another I inherited from my parents, a sitting king nutcracker. I like him because his face is done differently from any other nutcrackers I have. He’s also an Ulbricht (most of mine are from that design house, I’m a bit of a groupie).

Paired with my Cesta Collective bucket bag.

Coach glovedtanned leather is fantastic!

My favourite leather is the old Dior lambskin- it´s soooo soft! (Almost too soft to actually touch...)

I love all your nutcrackers and the bags too. The nutcrackers are true works of art.

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

Ooh yes! Let’s see them! Now is the perfect time to show the nutcrackers with or without their bag friends! Oh please...?

Love this set! The stripes on the bag, that he’s seared with the adorable buckle shoes and top hat!

Are those sheep? Or poodles? Is that the small size of the big bag? Yummy! Do you tend to leave it un-fastened when in use? I love Celine smooth

Yeah they are supposed to be sheep, they have little horns.

Regarding the bag, yes it’s the smaller size of the ‘Big’ bag. I don’t always leave it buckled when not in use, but I do stuff it with tissue paper and other bags’ dustbags in order to attempt to keep its shape.

Polene beige Neuf, with Night Watchman smoker (again from Ulbricht). We bought this one *in* Germany in late 2017. The night watchman was a job in medieval times in walled towns like Rothenburg ob der Tauber.

@Jereni beautiful pics of your nutcracke/smoker and bag combinations- I am loving this series!

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.

Such a cute bag!
