2024 Resolution: Shopping my own Bag and SLG Collection

[Sparkletastic]

December Activities and Challenges - pick and choose as you please.

I. 2024 Year In Review Reflection
(Thanks @Vintage Leather)

Utilize these thought starters to evaluate your collection, your usage patterns and your lessons learned in 2024.
• What is your most useful purse?
• What is your best purchase of the year?
• We’ve all had a lot of lifestyle changes this year - how has it affected your style?
• What is the one thing we’ve learned this year that you want to take into the next?

II. Setting 2025 Goals
Take this month to consider what you want to do with your handbag collection, wardrobe or even your beautiful life in 2025. Share these thoughts in January when we start the 2026 Shopping Your Closet thread.

III. End of year optional challenges

• Holiday colors: December has many holidays celebrated across the world - red & green, brown & gold, blue & white and more! Pick the holiday that you want to honor and wear / show off your bags in those traditional colors.

• End with a bang: As we come to the last part of the year, wear the last bag you’ve purchased at least 3 times this month.

@Vlad please pin this to the top of our thread.

The one I like is black and grey and also one called dusk. They look fun but not sure how they hold up ?

I'd worry about them snagging but I just checked my wetsuit and it hasn't snagged.

Can someone pin a post about color weeks?

I hadn’t thought of that. I saw a couple in person in a shop, but decided to take a picture of the bag and think on it , rather then just buying.

@whateve great red and burgundy. I love your red star camera bag and the burgundy Coach in the last pic, is it a Rambler’s Legacy - great colour and leather!

Thank you! Yes, that's a Rambler's Legacy. It doesn't photograph well but it is gorgeous IRL. Some of the nicest leather I've ever felt, even after 25 years.

Thank you! I think it has similar dimensions as the LV Speedy 20, probably a bit smaller. It does fit a lot for a small bag .

The Oliveve bag is a wonderful leather that is suede on the inside. The bag converts to a crossbody. I have three bags from them. It is a very small company that stands by their product. I did not buy them direct from them. I bought them from a small Galley /shop called The River Gallery in Narrowsburg New York. I enjoy making the trip up to this adorable little town. They will show you the samples and the styles, and he will have it made or you can buy what he has in the shop.
