[emoji23][emoji23][emoji23] very good idea. Fur lined bikinis. I die.

I really love my Marcie. The colour is awesome and versatile and I think her previous owner never used her. I wish she was a tiny bit smaller, though. Because she is huge and heavy. But, bags are never perfect, are they?

No, the perfect bag doesn't exist, Ludmilla, and if it did.... would it mean we'd have only one bag in our closet?
Unthinkable!:nuts::nuts:

Love the bojo vibe & thick leather.
Also, layered sweater cuff effect you have going on is pretty.:heart:

I have always trouble using a new bag right away. No idea why.

Omg, am exact opposite! Must rush out immediately, taking new bag on Christening voyage.
It is the 1 time I will be careful with bag.
Oh, but set zippy b on floor & then dropped her later, 1st voyage.:shocked:
Naughty me.:biggrin:

Sadly designers don't live the same life as the women they sell to and something gets lost in translation.

We humans are sooooooo individual.
Who, realistically, could design around wonky shoulders & not liking certain tones of green?:p
We are lunatics, trying to run the asylum. Well, I am...:angel:

Thank you, ladies. I've been worn by this bag since yesterday. And although I reaaaally want to carry her the whole week or forever I fear I need to change. She is so heavy. [emoji30] She is more comfortable for warmer days, because I can carry her more easily on the shoulder as I do not wear a thick coat then. A bit sad right now. [emoji17]
But lesson of today: on winter days with coats and scarves I need to take a bag with crossbody option. Because everything else will not sit on my shoulders. [emoji3]

One bag?
That's just wrong.
If we found the perfect bag we would need it in at least 3 colors.
Plus a nylon option for sports and theme parks.

Ha! Murphy you are very modest. [emoji3] If I found the perfect bag, I would need it in the following colours:
- at least two different shades of brown (caramel, beige, chocolate) and one brown suede bag
- black, because everyone needs a black bag [emoji6]
- dark blue
- strawberry/poppy red
- burgundy/oxblood
- a nice shade of green
- grey
- probably something in lilac/purple


And yes! Definitely some nylon options, too. [emoji23]

The question is - would we get tired of the perfect bag? Would we still look at other temptations? [emoji38]

Wanted to add to the weight issue - I always hope that carrying heavy bags makes my arms/back/shoulders stronger. Like going to the gym. So, it would become easier to carry heavy bags. But, nope. Nothing like this ever happens. Unfair. [emoji58]

Welllllllll... I'm married to the perfect man. Have been for over 38 years. And I'm not tired of him. Not in the least. But I won't deny that when I saw the post of the "three buff Santa dudes" I for sure looked! In fact, I switched to my computer glasses so that I could see them in better focus! :coolio:
