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.

There is a reason I never let my animals near my bags. I tried with my basket that has very little leather(also known as a chewy) only one was somewhat cooperative.

hahaha - I love that last picture!
I get it though - Coco sticks her nose on/on everything... nose prints on my bags = not so good!
(but I'll see what I can come up with!)

I really miss my other cat in the Summer, even more than other times of the year. I keep expecting him to wake me up 5am or pop-out from under a bush. He was such a little worker, basically all Houdini had to do was sleep in the garden and let his brother get on with policing. For two years I would hear Dini looking for his brother, crying for him to come home. The whines and howls were almost unbearable. This last month or so is the first sign that Dini has acknowledged little Poirot has gone and he has to defend his territory.

Good as I can get, the camera shy, elusive Dini with red suede Lady Web Horse-bit Shoulder bag. The closest bag I could grab. He's only here because he's hungry and he wants his dinner.

Please don´t scrutinize it too much... DH already did (without telling me what exactly does not match his standards) taking all the joy out of the project for me.
There´s a box inside the bag for better visibility. The rectangular blue shape is the separate pouch. It´s just a simple plain pouch with a nice zip and a matching cotton lining.

The lettering is actually straight, but when the bag moves it moves too...

Thank you, that's lovely to hear.:heart:
Nowadays, we have audio books and the kindle, but I am still a fan of the paperback and hardcover books, especially the ones that have lovely illustrations like this one. One of my favorite things to do on a lazy afternoon or evening is to curl up in a comfy chair with a good book and a favorite beverage (or snack); it does feel cozy and comforting.

The Camellia WOC is my favorite. I have often wished I had the red version too, lol.
