Ok, I've been bugged by some of you for photos of my collection (you know who you are 
), and yesterday I started to group and photo what I refer to as my "turnlock flap family" collection for my other Lily thread. Originally I was going to add my Bridgit collection to that thread since it fits, but TBH, I thought it was more appropriate for a separate thread since over the weeks I've received a lot of questions regarding Bridgits and what colors this bag was offered in, etc. I've also been really sad because they discontinued the Bridgits, so I thought I would pay tribute to them here. YES, one could say I'm definitely ready to be committed
So here they are!! Again, stealing Oopsididitagain's idea by using one of my flight of stairs!
And, no, your eyes don't deceive you...there are 10 shown, but only 9 colors were available. I know because I'm on a permanent list, lol, and still hold out hope they will make the bronze and other colors! I've been told this is not going to happen, but you can't blame a girl for hoping...
Because of the potential wear to the platinum Bridgit, when these popped up at the outlets, I decided to start a second set for the colors I use a lot and am afraid will not wear well. Hence there is a second platinum! In general I do NOT like small bags, but this is the one small bag I have totally LOVED, and it fits my needs with no problems. That's one reason I don't even bother to buy other small bags...just don't need or want them since I have these! They are so convenient in large crowds and look great dressed up or down. I think this is one of my top 5 favorite bags of all time!!
Ok, what's missing in my collection are some of the wallets... I typically prefer to use the smaller wallets with these bags, but the larger ones fit NO PROBLEM! At least with what I carry! I still REALLY want to complete the large zip around wallet collection...I have a few missing, as you will notice. I would really love to find the small camel turnlock wallet ss well. Oh, and yes, I actually bought two teal wallets because believe it or not, the patina is darker on one... so it doesn't match my Bridgit and Gigi as well (I'm a very matchy-matchy person.). The reason I don't have a complete wallet collection is I was too cheap to buy these at full price, and I haven't been able to find them all at the outlets, etc. The price of the large turnlock flap wallets is $298 retail...that's almost the price of a Bridgit! 
Anyway, I would LOVE to score a large zip around in black and the metallic color at the very least! Oh, and it does bug me that the metallic wallets have the brass hardware!
I also do not yet have the bottle green matching wallet. TBH I just can't make myself like this color green no matter how hard I try, and so there's no motivation to buy the matching wallet. Notice I've never even used the Bridgit either...
I sometimes get in a contrasting or coordinating mode, so I've shown my Legacy accessory sets that I sometimes use with these and other Legacy bags. I also have the complete variegated stripe set as well as the oxford stripe set, but these really don't go as well with the Bridgits (since they have the older stripe lining), so I did not show these accessories. Also, I have not shown them here, but I have the leather matching wristlets in those cases where they were available.
By the way, WHEW...photographing bags is a total PITA...so this is all you get for a while!! :blink: I don't think I can stand much more of taking things in and out of the dust bags, but hopefully this will pacify some of you. 
By the way, I really appreciate the interest and that you asked me for pics..it's just that I'm a lazy devil when it comes to reveals and doing pics in general!
HAPPY HOLIDAYS, EVERYONE!!!

My first one was the rose...it was my fav color of the initial releases, and I took a chance on it not knowing how I would survive. I mean my bag size has escalated TREMENDOUSLY over the last couple of years, and DH said I wouldn't use something this small. I didn't think so either till I got down to business and just gave it a shot. I only purchased the first one because of the turnlock flap (I'm a bit obsessed with turnlock flaps, lol), and WOW, I loved it so I had to have more and then decided I would buy every one of them that was available. I know I will use them all eventually!
