This is beautiful. I love crocodile and hope to find one for my collection one day.
I can’t understand why any B owner would be offended. What a bizarre reaction that would be.
That’s a great looking bag. It’s like a clean version of the Loewe puzzle.
To me, this bag does slouch perfectly! It has a distinct shape combined with purposeful softness in areas to give it interest. You’ll have to tell us what you think about it’s quality.
I envy you your range of oxblood bags. I want (actually need) this color in my collection and don’t have it. It’s an extremely frustrating gap.
I can’t promise I’ll be consistent with the color weeks but here we go.
Sparkletastic’s Red Bags
Chanel 13c red lamb jumbo single classic flap w/shw
Trussardi red monochrome mini Lovy
NEW IN 2024: Jimmy Choo red velvet Cheri shoulder bag w/ Swarovski crystal decorative clasp
I really want to add two burgundy/ oxblood / merlot bags to my collection.

I’m curious - do you count gifts as an “in”?
I don’t because when I speak of ins and outs, I’m thinking of how I’m managing my collection and whether or not I’m making good decisions. I can’t (and don’t want to try to) control what someone gives me. But those gifts may put me over my acquisition goal. Or worse, they could be something I don’t like / won’t really wear and affect my 100% satisfaction goal.
For example, Mr. Sparkle gifted me that gorgeous Jimmy Choo pink crystal mini BonBon last year. I love it but it’s not anything I was looking for and will get very little use. So it wouldn’t meet my 100% satisfaction goal had I purchased it.
In contrast, I know I’ll use the Lanvin cat hobo he just gifted me. So it will likely be a 100% satisfaction bag but end up putting me over my 3 bag max this year because I wasn’t planning on it.
So this is insight into my “logic.” LOL! What is your approach and your thinking with “ins.”

Thank you-it won’t last a lifetime as I literally use it in all weathers, but after all, it IS a bag, I just hope that I can find another one-if I’d paid a croc Birkin price I might be more careful..
I do enjoying carrying her!
Took a quick new picture of my small bayswater satchel.I count them because they take up space, but I don’t consider it a failure because I didn’t choose it.
Fabulous reds! I am so happy you still have your Trussardi - I still think it’s darling!
I would count them as an in, just like I've counted bags I've gotten free or very close to free. I haven't gotten a bag as a gift in a very long time so I don't have the issue of feeling I have to keep something to not hurt someone's feelings. A free or nearly free bag is a win right out of the gate even if I don't use it that much.
You've talked about it many times and I've been curious all that time so thank you for posting this picture! It's beautiful and I don't think it would offend anyone. I love the way it glows!
I don't have one either but I've looked at it online a few times. I love the shape. I'd love to hear how you like using it and what you think of the leather quality.
These are my red bags. Last year I also had at least 3 burgundy bags. I realized that although I like burgundy or oxblood or wine colors, I
never reached for them. So they have been sold or are up for sale.
1. vintage Coach Sonoma pocket drawstring
2. Dooney & Bourke Florentine small messenger
3. Coach Jes camera bag
I'm very happy with these. I love a red bag but since these are so perfect for me I hope I can resist getting any more.
