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!

August 13 - Balenciaga, Bottega Veneta

August 20 - Burberry, Celine

August 27 - Coach, Chanel

September 3 - Chloe, Dior

Is anybody else feeling kind of done with primary fashion houses such as Louis Vuitton, Gucci and Dior? Perhaps it's a stylistic shift but I'm not really interested anymore ( unless it's a cooler vintage piece - I'm more so referencing purchasing new) I've gravitated towards understated yet fashion conscious brands such as Mansur Gavriel and Issey Miyake.

Yes, I feel similarly. I think it’s in part because of the influencer culture - I think brands are currently obsessed with what will go viral on social media, and those pieces just don’t appeal to me. Browsing boutiques doesn’t even temp me much anymore. In the last couple years I’ve opted for vintage over new, and it’s renewed my enthusiasm for craftsmanship and quality. Vintage Ferragamo and vintage non-BKC Hermes, Philo-era Céline and Mullberry - that my jam. It honestly makes it much easier for me to shop my own closet.

Happy Valentine’s Day!
Reposting some pics of my red bags from last year, the Weekend Maxmara bucket bag is no longer with me, I gave it to my relatives and waiting for my Celine to be pampered by Celine, she’s somewhere in Tuscany now, so a pic from my trip to Florence seemed fitting
