2023 Resolution: Shopping my Own Bags and SLG Collection

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!

Not a drunk bag (yet) but Etain-side out Double Sens Maxi on my way to Chardonnay - I couldn't take a picture at the table because the table was so small and the restaurant so busy I would have knocked the calves liver and squid-ink pasta flying.

If it doesn't qualify it will have to be another evening's excursion a different week - but it will only be water
because I choose not to drink in front of my normal table partner

I returned to this pic to admire. You are a genius. Love this bag :drinks: :drinks: :drinks: :drinks: :love:

@Purses & Perfumes , your photo takes me back to my imaginary childhood, only much much better lol. it makes me feel cozy inside to look at it. I love this particular WOC too.
Thank you :heart:

It´s just a bag. And a learning experience. I´m sure I made some mistakes and might make a better one next time... only I think I won´t make any more. Personally I´m not keen on this kind of bag and it wasn´t about the bag anyway. It was about doing something that would be a special effort for me for my daughter.
Even though I´d love to know better ways to show support and love. Making presents was my parents way to express feelings, the way I grew up with. I still have to learn to do it better.

Btw watch this space... there was a bit of raffia yarn left and instead of putting it aside I started a new project. Totally different from the first. So far I´m not sure whether I love it or hate it and whether it will ever work out and this is after spending all afternoon cursing and screaming with frustration before finally reaching a stage where I am at least happy with the technical side of my work.
