2023 Resolution: Shopping my Own Bags and SLG Collection

[Vintage Leather]

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!

Lucky you-I used to live there, in Le Palais Royal…I miss it..I’m planning a 2 week holiday there next year…lots of shopping and great food, have to arrange cat feeding for all of my Siamese cats!
Have a great time, looking forward to seeing your Guccis!

Love the variety of colors and really like the padlock (almost bought this one myself a couple years ago). What are the dimensions? I ended up getting a pre-loved black and white one but when it arrived, it was much bigger than I had expected and as a result, I still haven't used it.

Hi stacy_natalie - it is pretty small.
Im not at home right now, but I'll measure it for you when I am.
It just fits my phone, wallet, epipen, and small cosmetic bag. The back exterior pocket is just about worthless - you can't fit anything in it other than a ticket.
But I do love it, it's very elegant, so I carry it for dressier functions.

Thank you!

Hope you're having a wonderful time!

Thank you it has been fabulous so far and still have a couple of days to go. Visiting the Dior and YSL museums today! Hoping to get some shopping in but planned such a full itinerary I don't know when I'll be able to. Staying right hear the Polene store and see the longest lines outside down the block. Would love to peek in but not waiting in that line!

i am literally 2 minutes from Le Palais Royal! Loving it here so far, it has been a dream come true for my daughters!

Enjoy Paris!
Go thrifting for me...

Thank you! I wish I had more time to do that. My daughter and I saw several shops one day but didn't have time to stop. I know she would love that, maybe just have to come back one day!

Thank you. No big deal but if you remember when you have time. Sounds like this is the size I was picturing when I ordered mine but ended up with a much larger size. Still pretty, just not that practical for me.

If you like Paris and are having a very tight itinerary this time you should definetely plan to come back with more time to simply be in the moment and experience the vibes of the city.

I am not worthy to own that jacket!

My uncle bought it for me in Cannes (a real uncle, not a weird uncle )
