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.

You already know I love this bag! In fact, I think I prefer it to the Tiffany one I got but I was hung up on that limited Tiffany & Co nonsense. I wonder how similar the colors would be side by side. Anyway, looks beautiful!

Jumping on the bandwagon to agree with everyone else that both your Dior and Fendi exotics are amazing. I do not have an alligator or crocodile bag yet but it is one of few things left on my wishlist. I did recently order a green alligator bag that looked great in photos but was lackluster and smaller than I envisioned in person so sadly it was sent back.



I never owned any D&B bags either but love both of your neutral toned bags. I also remember the Fendi stripes!!! I had a few smaller Fendi bags and SLG when I was a teen in the late 1980s that were the zucca print and the stripes. Forgot about that until now. Sure wish I hung onto them.

This is so pretty, I really hope you end up getting some use out of it this winter! I personally think I could be used anytime for a dressy event.

These mini bags in exotics have me in chokehold. You will really enjoy adding one to your bag collection. I find I prefer them in mini as more versatile. What size are you looking to add?

Does anyone know if the locks Lv gives with their bags go to certain bags. I found three still in the boxes but don’t know if speedy 30 gets a certain lock number ? The papillon I don’t think had one. I never used them so I have no recollection about them.

Haven't really given it much thought as it's not an immediate plan but more longterm. I guess I was probably picturing something along the lines of a Fendi peekaboo small or LV Capucines PM or Prada monochrome saffiano small.

The bag I ordered did say "mini" but I guess the photo was deceiving bc I didn't picture it as small as it was. Overall it was pretty but lackluster.

Off topic , but here are the bags I brought home from Paris.
The Leopard pochette is from the Galeries Lafayette House Brand, the Coach wristlet was a lovely gift from a friend.

Fun! I am going to Paris in 12 days and have a very full itinerary planned, including Galeries Lafayette! I've heard that store is fab and I even got tickets to a fashion show (photo attached with description of the fashion show). Also going to the Dior museum and YSL museum. I am very excited!

I love their all-weather-leather too, and after the discussion about rainy day bags, I have been wondering if I should get the all- weather-leather satchel from their website, to use worry free on all the rainy days here. Your bags are lovely.

Just getting caught up and am loving all the eye candy everyone has posted. All beautiful bags. Unfortunately, a water heater leak seeped from garage into house and has damaged my bamboo floors and caused mold, so I have been displaced from my house for a few weeks now and don't have access to my handbags unless I run home to grab something specific/make a switch. I am traveling to Denver today and need to run home to grab a sweater and jeans since it will be cold there. I am crunched for time as I need to depart for airport in a couple of hours but I will try to snap a couple quick photos I can share later. I found photo I had of my one Dior bag which I shared, but think I missed a couple of other weeks (one Chanel, one Burberry) and have a few Fendis I can share.

I am so sorry to hear this. It must be so hard to be displaced from your house, in addition to all the expense, worry and inconvenience. My house is my little retreat, and I was quite crabby the last time I was displaced due to some repairs being done, and was so glad to be back home when they finished.

I don't have Dooney , although as a teen and young adult I used to admire their bags in Macys and loved the duck.
I have my one fendi to show for this week; the turquoise peekaboo.

Just landed in Denver and got in early waiting for gate to become available (my least favorite part of flying). Good time to upload the photos I took earlier. Not the greatest quality bc I was in a rush (in fact, I almost missed my flight lol)

For this week, my newer Fendis: light pink WOC, mint Fendigraphy hobo, and my newest treasure, the Tiffany Baguette. Also a much older tote from the Fendi Flags collection (can't even remember what year this is from) with the matching pouch and a zucca wallet. Tote got a lot of wear at some point bc strap broke and someone tried to repair it but did a horrible job. Plan to have fixed, just hasn't been a priority.

Thought the cherry blossom design was cool back in the day but if I were to use now, I would likely carry with the plain side facing outwards.

Very pretty pink Fendi WOC, and your Tiffany baguette is gorgeous.

Have a great trip in Paris, and do share pics with us if possible.
