My only hope is that my niece never discovers that there’s a oversized tote version of this bag!

“Happy Saturday, fellow Islanders!
Another day, another obligatory bag to avoid any hurt feelings.
Known on our Island as “the crazy bag” the uninitiated among you may want to avert your eyes.”
Speaking for the uninitiated…we’d like another pic of this very unusual bag. We don’t know quite what to think.
I googled this designer or company, Piero Guidi, and saw many bags that were highly whimsical and looked cute and carryable as a novelty. There’s a current design sensibility that gives vibes like …a little Calder ... a little Hermès whimsical scarves...a little more Magical Mystery Tour. The below bag is either adorable, fun or ridiculous. I’m going with fun!
But yours is a totally different look, feel and shape from what’s shown now. Would love to see more of it ... my corneas can take it

Most definitely!We could both be in real trouble if our respective ninjas decide to join forces, Ludmilla!
Like your style with crazy bag.
Be careful what you wish for, westvillage!
I have no idea what Piero Guidi’s inspiration was for this nylon bag.
But I suspect the olives signify one martini too many during his creative process!

Let’s just hope your ninjas don’t decide to return home with it, Ludmilla!
While Piero Guidi’s “Magic Circus” line has been highly successful, I have to admit that I‘d had issues with the one I‘d had.
Quite bluntly, over time the ”coated canvas” and handles started to feel more like PVC which was a deal killer for me.

Uh Oh .... that IS a deal killer.
Your nylon bag just might be affecting my corneas after all
What an odd and loopy group of symbols and stuff on it.And then I’ve always side-eyed Dooney for breaking up a lovely design like hydrangeas or daffodils with their leather or metal logo plate stuck right in the middle of it. Piero has done that too.
Brava to you for doing the right thing by your niece and wearing it. Against the perfectly matching green of the background it kind of doesn’t look half bad. Every bag can have its moment

You’re right on all scores, westvillage.
Though the crazy bag will continue to spend most of its time safely tucked away, what my niece doesn’t know won’t hurt her.
As for myself, after spending the past couple of days on my best behavior, I’ve decided to treat myself to another Botkier as a reward.

Keep those cards and letters coming
I have my eye on a Botkier too now that I’ve refamiliarized myself with their offerings and sale prices!
Willpower ... No Willpower ... Not sure which way I’ll fall off the fence.
As I’ve been feeling a tad weak willed, but expansive, of late, I have tried to take a remedy for that by laying out all my bags on the TV room trundle bed to see how I feel. Do I feel it’s enough, or maybe I’ve fallen out of love so that I can let go of some?
So it is 14 with 5 specialty bags=19
I like each one enormously
Many are old friends
They‘ve all been vetted and they do their job admirably
I wear them all ... and
I’m not jettisoning a single one
So no remedy
It gets worse. There’s the family house in the country where I have at least as many though in less urban styles, not that anyone but me would notice the difference.
I don’t know why bags are so enticing. I always have an eye out for bags ... online, watching them go by in the street, in TV and movies, visiting old loves on resale sites.
I can’t see a whit of purse peace coming my way
Botkier anyone

There is “purse peace” and then there’s passion, westvillage.
Passion fuels our desire with what might be over the next horizon.
Conversely, purse peace stops us dead in our tracks.
Of the two, I‘ll choose passion every time.
Happy Sunday, fellow Islanders! 
Between the pool float and the crazy bag it’s been a rough couple of days for my Evil Twin.
And it’s not getting any easier for her with the gift my older sister in Arizona bought for my birthday arriving yesterday while I was out.
Now it sits unopened and undisturbed in my closet infuriating my Evil Twin to no end.
And while I admit to being tempted, I’m just going to have to wait until Thursday to satisfy my curiosity.

Awww… looking at an unopened box for five whole days is …. UGHH! Blessings on your patience while anticipating that surprise color. Your birthday itself will be all the more special
… and your purse partners, who know nothin of the style either, await the b’day reveal

It’s easy to be patient, westvillage, when my latest Botkier should arrive as early as Tuesday!
