I’m back in the country and reunited with Coach Dinky in the larger size, though still a petite bag. Each summer she steps out from the herd and has her 15 minutes :lol:

After several years, at last I’ve made my pouches ‘nstuff compact enough to make the little Dinky, and all my small bags, easily useable.

The strap is a Dooney, with different hardware, but the stitching works with the bag’s stitching/edge glazing. This year, she seems more comfortable and “disappears” on the shoulder … and I love that! Also, there’s a second one in the herd, in denim blue, so all improvements are a two/fer.:tup:

Like her owner, she’s showing stretch marks … in the form of pulled leather across the top :giggle:

What a little sweetheart, westvillage! :cutesy:

Perfect color, perfect size, an altogether wonderful bag! :drool:

I’m a notorious “strap swapper” myself and agree that your Dooney strap works beautifully with your Coach. :ghi5:

As for its imperceptible “stretch marks,” I tend to think we bag lovers notice our own bag’s tiniest imperfections whereas no one else does. :thinking:

My Little Botkier camera bag has arrived. It comes with a matching leather crossbody strap as well as this striped guitar strap. I’m altogether happy with it.

I got a chuckle out of the color name … Malbec. Not the lovely Burgundy or Bordeaux, nor the generic Wine for this bag. No … it’s the clipped and a bit gruff sounding Malbec. Actually it’s my favorite Red which made the little guy irresistible.

Thank you…lovely comments on Miss Dinky.

In the not-too-distant past, I gave away a white bag, aged about eight years, because it had yellowed across the whole bag. I think from that experience I came away with the opinion that white bags age less well when tucked away.

So I view Miss Dinky with a … I’m not going to say jaundiced :lol::graucho: … hypersensitive eye. She’s good to go for this year though and I’m like …:yahoo:

Happy Friday, fellow Islanders! :wave:

Despite the dire forecast, our County avoided the worst of yesterday’s severe storms. :tup:

And though we still have high winds today, the sun is shining and it’s a perfect day for my Buttercup Coach Kristin. :cutesy:

This is one of my favourite bags on the Island, Fim.
The leather and the colour are to die for.:dothewave:
