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!

August 13 - Balenciaga, Bottega Veneta

August 20 - Burberry, Celine

August 27 - Coach, Chanel

I swear I took this picture last week, but took a weekend trip and only got the picture to my computer now. My BV bags:

Medium Veneta in mid-grey and oxblood, and a men's laptop bag in silvery grey. I also have a silvery-bronzy Veneta, but it is just too far into brown for me and my leather guy said he couldn't improve it, so I'll take it to the consignment shop soon. And I have a black one on loan to my mom.

I don't own any Balenciaga, Burberry, or Celine. :smile:
They’re all really lovely, BV colours are gorgeous :love:

I have this faithful friend from the 90s, I wore it at uni (not the bear) it was either bought for me or I just wore it until my mother gave-up thinking it was hers. Just to keep in with the leather jacket talk, here's my punk Burberry bear wearing a Perfecto jacket, the collarless (symmetric) ones are also Moto jackets, but racing ones.

Plus I have 2 other 1980s vintage Burberry 'cartridge'-style bags from my mother, and a 1960s vintage holdall from my grandmother (it has a shoe compartment like the one below). All three are the usual chestnut leather and Novo-check.

Pea coats? Count me in! I have a Burberry (black) and a Gucci (navy). I don't think anything suits me better.
Yes! If I had to have only one style of coat, it would be a pea coat, hands down. As much as I love the look of longer coats, for running around on busy days and being in and out of the car, the shorter pea coat works so much better for me.
Adore your punk Burberry bear in his jacket, and the bag!

@FizzyWater, your burgundy Veneta is stunning. Beautiful color!

So cute! And I love your "vintage" Burberry.

Thank you, @Purses & Perfumes ! I'm looking forward to fall to start wearing it again!
