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!

Thank you, and wishing you strength in the resistance! Are you resisting any bag in particular, or holding fast broadly in principle?
Just broadly. There's nothing that's yelling at me right now, which is a good thing.
My itch for a perfect pink bag has calmed me down a lot, and I'm still in the newly married phase with this beauty, so I'm not really looking around yet. :biggrin:2023_155851.jpg2023_172128.jpg
 
Broke my ban for this:

It’s the LC Le Panier Pliage, size small. They had the XS last year, but that was too small for me for a day bag. Love the pink and the embroidery on the front. Very tempted to add the green as well.
Looking forward to warm weather so I can use it.


I looked at this for me too, a great Summer bag and really lovely for holiday. Congratulations to you.

I wanted an actual beach bag size, but I love the appliqué on the front, other baskets are either too cutesy or no fun at all.
 
Blue week

My blues tend to me navy or smoky blues. I missed out on a bright blue Gucci Marmont with enamel hw because I was worried I was buying for the sake of the hw, I think it would have ben nice with my bright blue Hermes hat though.


Gucci BTH can look grey but it's officially called (Aviazione) Aviation which is blue

That kelly is gorgeous and the perfect shade of blue. Is the hardware silver? I like that you were able to show your old bags. I am never able to retrieve mine.
