After speaking to @TeeCee77 privately haha we both really analyzed our collections and I’m having a tough time with “completing” my collection. I’d like to have 4-5 more H bags and this is what I’m thinking.

B30 noir
K25 noir sellier
B25/30 rose p
Jige Gris Perle
B30 Gris asphalte

Here is a pic of my current collection.

k28 is ghw vert cypres
Evelyne vert vertigo phw
K32 natural sable ghw
B30 Barenia Faubourg ghw
Noir halzan ghw
Roulis beton permabrass.

I don’t like red blue or purple. Pinks and greens are my pops.

Interested in any feedback you may have either way.
I feel like I am seeing double lol! You 2 do have similar collections and beds.
May I ask why you do not want blue or red bags? Since I would have suggested blue or red.
My most used bags are green, blues and raisin. I rarely use black bags, i think I just find them boring. I always told my SA I did not want blue bags but now I have 5 and they are one of my top colour choices. I find pink hard to wear, except in the summer as a casual bag with fun outfits. I recently realized that red works beautifully with tan/gold colours, so have started pairing my red Kelly with tan, whites and jeans vs. Wearing with just black.
 
I love the idea of a capsule collection and with each new addition I try to re-evaluate my collection and what comes next. I just got my Roulis 23 in Beton, so that checks off a light colored bag. I also have a SO B30 coming in Gris Agate ostrich. I originally had a B30 in vert verone on my list, but I’m reconsidering given how much green I already have. I really only want 1-2 more bags. I’m thinking B30 and a Kelly Pochette in Rose Pourpre and Lime. Would love to hear any thoughts on what I am missing!

I included a second shot of my entire collection (with non-H) so you get the full picture. Honestly I’m really happy with where I’m at so any additions will just be icing on the cake!

Same question for you as I had for noegirl - why no blue or red?

I wish I had a good answer. I do like dark blue like blue nuit, but I think I have my dark neutrals covered. If the right bag came around I don’t think I could say no to a dark blue. As for light blues and reds, they are just not colors that get me excited. I don’t own a single piece of red clothing and my blue is limited to navy. Not sure what it is. I do love purple and yellow, so I was leaning more towards something bright like lime or rose pourpre.

I love your collection...great neutrals and the green adds just the right touch of color without being too over the top. I think it’s stunning

i would do a bright colour. I think adding a dark neutral even if blue would be repetitive with what you have already. Might as well try something bright to give you some variety. Good luck deciding!

Haha @TeeCee77 and I realize we are basically the same person Hahahaha.

To answer your question I like @TeeCee77 would consider navy but honestly any bright, light or really rich blue/red is a no for me. I too own no red clothing nor any blue outside of navy.
My closet consists of an 80 piece capsule of mostly black and white. Navy and a few pops of green sprinkled.

I would still suggest a medium blue given the colours you wear. I find a bag colour should compliment my clothes not match to it - blue would go beautifully with black, white and green. I wear green and blue together a lot. Otherwise a red like Bordeaux or rouge h would act as a great neutral and give you some variety. Just my 2 cents! Beautiful collection already. Have fun deciding!

I actually would never reach for the blue, I kinda hate blue outside of navy and with my minimalist efforts I need to buy what takes my breath away. For now I’m happy with green and pink as my pops but thank you for the input!! I’m still not sure if a black k25 and b30 make sense in this small collection.

Gorgeous! (And clever art direction.)

If I could ask about your collection - I very much enjoyed your "10 bags" thread from a couple of years ago. I found it inspiring (although I have fallen short, or perhaps rather long, of 10 bags ). Just curious if you have kept things streamlined or increased to accommodate such incredible beauties as your exotic K?

Thank you so much! I was able to down to 6 bags and couldn't be happier :)

OMG! SIX!! that is amazing!

Could I ask which of the original 10 are still with you? I really loved how much thought you put into your collection. (I myself am really trying to pare down and let go of the ones that get way too little love......)
