I used the Aphrodite until this past week. Shifted to a new croc pochette for the weekend, and have settled in to my Metier Perriand this week.

Not one bag but a big shift from a different bag every day or two.
How is the Aphrodite holding its shape? Does it slouch or bulge out around the base of the strap? Or does it keep that flat sleek shape?

It’s really great. Yes it’s holding its shape because the chèvre leather is fairly thick and stiff. I’m guessing it will soften over time but it seems like it’s not going to puddle anytime soon.
 
I guess that I have inadvertently participated. I carried my Coach Willow tote 24 for six weeks. I only switched out to go to formal events. The bag is not really appropriate for floor length gowns. LOL!
Oh that would totally be "Alexa Chung carrying M Bayswater on the red carpet" vibes! :biggrin:
But 6 weeks is impressive, taking that you have some really lovely bags in your collection. Coach :heart:
 
Another month gone, another bag been furiously used and loved!

Field tote 30 was my jam in February - I think I left my house once without it. I've been enjoying the bag so much.

I'm thinking about trying this with my Littlephant (big) hobo in March.
I know I will grab a couple of other bags during the month as well as I'm traveling and need to carry my work gear - computer and roller mouse+A4 folder etc - along for one of my trips. They would fit in the hobo but I want two shoulder straps. I'm thinking LC LP XXL LH and for my other trip it will be LC Penelope as I want something classic and stylish that won't stick out.
And hey, look at me, taking one of my better bags out for a trip! I'm not sure if this has ever happened on one of my solo trips ever before. I think I'm either getting old or this is not a permanent state and I'm just confused. :whut:

During the height of the pandemic, for most of 2020 and a lot of 2021 I carried just one bag, a Tumi voyager crossbody. It was small, handsfree, light, water resistant, and packed a ton. It helped there was nowhere to go.

Fast forward 2023 and I still hardly go anywhere except for grocery shopping and work, and usually with both kids. I have been carrying my Balenciaga courier in mogano for a few months now without switching. I find it super versatile for looking coolish while still carrying all kinds of weird items the kids have given me to carry that I'm not allowed to discard. It's also light and handsfree and packs a ton.

Since having small kids, I'm one of those people who buy all kinds of bags but only use a couple of them regularly
