A long standing tradition in this thread is to remind ourselves of how wonderful our own collections are by showcasing them. We can see how far we have come, collection wise, and we reminded that we have all (or most of) what we need making it easier to shop our own closets.



• New theme weeks start each Sunday

• Don’t jump ahead but, if you miss a week, please do show your bags “late”.

• Show bags individually or in a group

• You do NOT have to wear the bags that week

• For added fun, show old pictures from previous years to demonstrate how you have curated it over time.

• This is completely voluntary. There is no pressure to post at any time.





So what are the showcases? In the Fall, we group our bags by makers! Feel free to show bags, small leather goods, or however it is easiest to organize!

August 13 - Balenciaga, Bottega Veneta

August 20 - Burberry, Celine

August 27 - Coach, Chanel

September 3 - Chloe, Dior

September 10 - Dooney & Bourke, Fendi

September 17 - Ferragamo, Givenchy

September 24 - Goyard, Gucci

October 1 - Hermes, Kate Spade

October 8 - Loewe, Longchamp

October 15 - Louis Vuitton, Marc Jacobs

October 22 - Michael Kors, Miu Miu

October 29 - Mulberry, Prada

November 5 - Proenza Schouler, Rebecca Minkoff

November 12 - Saint Laurent, Tods

November 19 - Tory Burch, Valentino

November 26 - Bags by Jewelers: Bulgari, Cartier, Tiffany Co, Van Cleef & Arpels. Alternatively, the pillboxes, compacts and other lovelies made by jewelers that fit in your bag.

December 3 - independent artisans and custom bags.

Both the sneakers are from p448.

I love butterflies, so I was happy to add these two. The Field Tote 22 in this pattern
View attachment 5774442
is so pretty, I am tempted to add it. But I already have something coming from Coach plus plan to add something from LV this month too. So it will need to wait.

That's beautiful, it reminds me of my Gucci Nice bag

My multicolours

I think I'm cheating because a few of these can go in different categories. I know that the B&E has been in the 'embellished' and maybe 'blacks' too.

Gucci Vintage (1983) GAC Boston
Web-stripes put a multicolour twist on my Gucci half-moons
Vintage multi-skin (I think was in 'browns' too)
Gucci Flora Nice Tote
Gucci Animalier Bright
Hermes Maxi Etain/Noir Sikkim leather Double-Sens
Gucci velvet Baiadera-stripe and navy leather Horse-bit 1955
Gucci mirror Leather Hearts Valentine Boston
Sami red/white lambskin 'tie-dyed' clutch
Bracher Emden clutch black and multicolour

Now that color weeks are coming to an end, I was wondering if we will have a challenge for the upcoming month? I have a suggestion -- how about a pic of your favorite bag with your pet? For those of us that don't have pets (like me), we will just have to be creative -- maybe my neighbor's cat will be willing to pose with my bag?:biggrin: If not, I will have to think of something else.:smile:

That's a good idea.

I really love seeing other peoples bags and collections. I will have a hard job directing Houdini, he always thinks I'm going to get him to do something terrible - like I'm gonna put him in his pet carrier - which he hates - he is so suspicious.

Totally different to his brother (sadly died 2 years ago :sad: ) who'd jump into any box or bag left unattended for 3 secs. That was him a few years ago, he joined me when I was doing yoga outside

Maybe for the weeks after we can do bags made of different things:
1. Velvet, satin, materials
2. Exotics
3 Non-animal leather
4. Nylon, vinyl or plastic
5. Special leathers like patent, crinkled or washed leather
6. Natural like straw, raffia, bamboo, wood
7. Strangest materials

What a sweetie! So sorry for your loss.:sad:

It's interesting how some cats are so wary of containers, bags or boxes, and others just love them. Maybe Houdini will be okay with a mini bag or a small clutch next to him?

Love the ideas for the weeks after! I will be very curious to see the ones made of strangest materials.

I'll see if I can creep-up with a closed mini/clutch when he's fast asleep :lol:

My mother bought me that Nice bag - but in Cannes! I don't think Gucci have a store in Nice :lol:

Look, I have the matching shoes (but never wear together)

Because of that they both remind me of the South of France and not Tuscany (Flora was based on the wild flowers of Tuscany)

I love the floral! A very long time ago I had Gucci sandals with floral fabric combined with green leather.
