Could you put most facing forward and ones of similar style behind another with just a third showing from behind.

My last three bags (2 Jimmy Choo buckets and the large Prada Galleria) are the room hogs. So I’m gong to try to figure out a way to display the buckets in a unique way and slide the Prada in sideways. Reorganizing my collection is my weekend project. :amuse:
That sounds like a very fun weekend project! Handbags and closet organization. Both right up my alley!
 
Long time lurker here. I am loving the conversations and points of view, fascinating. I have always loved bags, but only started getting more high end ones in the last few years. I have a few more on my list, but I want to move to other categories of accessories and also, house renovations… anyway, I think today is the last day for brown bags, so here goes… View attachment 6157102
Beautiful range of browns. So glad you de-lurked!
 
Obviously missed the beginning, but 2025 has been a crazy year so far.
My goals:
  • No more than 10 SLGs
  • Watch out for impulse buys
  • No aspirational shopping
  • Use the bags & shoes that did not get used last year. I have a large collection, so rotating is a challenge
  • Purge (some)...I have hoarder tendencies & need to let go of things that no longer suit my life or taste
  • But less than last year
  • Continue to focus on my fitness. I fell off the wagon when I sprained my ankle so I need to get focused again
Since I am so behind, I won't spam the thread. But I will post some pics of some of my favorites

love love love the metallics! I don’t have the confidence yet, I have a few metallic shoes so the next logical step is bags.

You have the best metallics!
 
I had a family occasion last night. Obviously, very sad DH couldn't be there, he really would have enjoyed it.

Forced myself to make the most of the beautiful day yesterday so I booked a slot with one of my favourite textile dealers. He doesn't normally get RTW but he had some Hermès and Chanel.

Took my beautiful Bolide to carry gifts and a vintage Loewe cross-body. No pic of my Loewe, but you've seen it before.

After consideration, I couldn't leave 2 Hermès pieces. A pristine jacket from Margiela's first collection (AW98) for Hermès and 1980s pink silk skirt with no side seams. I'm not sure if the print comes from a scarf detail but I will investigate further. I am on the fence about a Chanel suit. I also bought a couple of SL 70s scarves to make into a blouse. It's a good thing he doesn't sell vintage bags :D
