A Bag For Every Month

[JenJBS]

Just for fun, pick a bag for each month. It can represent that month, or be a bag that you'd carry that month (ex. velvet in winter or beach bag in the summer). Here are mine. For fun, I didn't let myself repeat a designer twice.

January	Balenciaga	City	Lagoon	Counteract the dreary / grey weather.
February	Dior	Lady Dior	Cherry	Valentine's Day
March	Rebecca Minkoff	Nikki	Green	St. Patrick's Day
April	Mansur Gavriel	Drawstring Bag	Light Blue	Spring / Easter color.
May	Behno	Ina Mini	Orchid	Lovely spring / flower color.
June	Bottega Veneta	Padded Cassette	Orange	Fun summer color.
July		Straw Tote		Sumer beach / picnic bag.
August	Prada	Nylon Reidition	Red or Tan	Lightweight and colorful for summer.
September	Coach	Nomad	Butterscotch	Perfect color to welcome fall.
October	The Row	Double Circle Bag	Black	Just feels right. Black = Halloween.
November	Yves Saint Laurent	Loulou Puffer	Wine (rouge opium)	Fall / Thanksgiving color. Puffer = cozy.
December	Jimmy Choo	BonBon	Black Velvet	Perfect for a holiday party. Looks great with green or red.

Thank you!

I tried to use my own bags ... I don’t have the wonderful collection that you do, by far.

Awww! Thank you! You're very kind. One lesson I've learned on TPF is that sheer number of bags doesn't make a wonderful collection. You've curated yours beautifully, with more discipline than I possess.

I don't have enough bags to play, but great idea!

January - Lady Dior in Black for New Years Resolutions - I will be more lady like this year
February - CoLab in Sunny Yellow to counteract the gray days of February.
March - Just Campagne Confort1 tote in Fauve because Spring is coming hopefully
April - Goyard Sac Rouette in Red for April showers
May - Hermes Vibrato Picotin for the coming Spring flowers
June - MZ Wallace Mini Sutton in Punch for Summer vacation
July - Ferragamo Studio Bag in Lipstick Red for Independence Day
August - Lederer in Toile and leather for the Dog days of summer
September - Hermes Drag 2 in Rouge H for the start of Fall
October - Louis Vuitton Pallas in Monogram for falling leaves
November - Dior Be Dior in Navy and Silver for the start of the Holidays (that silver handle and pocket are so fab!)
December - Proenza Schouler small Courier in Metallic Silver for Holiday parties (we will have them this year right?)

I don't own all the ones I mentioned. No need to own a bag to list it. I'd love to hear your ideas.

I’m going to go with my own collection. You’ll notice that I really like neutrals

1. January: Proenza Schouler PS1 in burgundy (this bag is a true workhorse and lasted me through several harsh winters, the colour is also a nice fall/winter colour)
2. February: Ferragamo Vara bow crossbody in black (it’s made of textured leather and can withstand bad weather well, the pretty bow and chain strap is also suitable for Valentines)
3. March: Balenciaga City in black (effortless chic bag that can always make you look put together in gloomy March weather)
4. April: The Row Wander in taupe (great neutral that works well in the transition of spring, also the closest colour to pastel Easter shades that I could get)
5. May: Bottega Veneta Campana in Monalisa (perfect vibrant colour for the month of flowers )
6. June: Massaccesi Clio in eden green (bright, fresh green for the start of summer and sunshine)
7. July: Bottega Veneta Nodini in tangerine (orange for hot summer days )
8. August: Balenciaga City in bleu nuit (after a month of bright orange, I’m ready to go back to neutrals)
9. September: Proenza Schouler PS1 in amethyst (getting ready to welcome the start of a colourful fall, while still not quite ready to let go of summer colours yet)
10. October: Fendi Spy hobo in honey (a colour reminiscent of falling leaves, cinnamon, and pumpkin spice latte)
11. November: Balenciaga Mute City in vert veronese (an olive green that adds a little pop to November’s grey days, and slowly sliding into the holiday season)
12. December: Aspinal of London Mayfair in eden green croc/smooth leather (a perfect bag for the holiday celebrations)
