I think I'll do Michael Kors next.
I have 3 Michael Kors which I'm not precious about, so they get used without any babying!
The three are:
- Michael Kors Small Satchel Saffiano Leather in Vintage Yellow
- Michael Kors Selma Medium in Pale Pink
- Michael Kors Medium Jetset Multifunction Saffiano Tote in Cream
I bought the yellow satchel in Venice, so a bunch of great memories around that time.
I bought the pink Selma on a spa trip in Hampshire which is always a happy place for me (love Jane Austen).
And I bought the cream Jetset in Selfridges London after seeing a SA carrying it across the accessories hall (it looked chic and I felt impulsive
)

On my way to work this morning, and I thought next up on my thread should be the blue beauty I'm carrying today. I have important meetings today, and this always feels like a 'power' bag to me. The shape is unusual, and it's eye catching. I often get compliments on it, even from people who don't usually notice bags.
I'm wearing it with a navy silky blouse, sapphire earrings and necklace, and a tanzanite right hand ring: just to coordinate the blues. I think it works.
Anyways, here's the bag - my Salvatore Ferragamo Medium Fiamma in New Iris.

Feel free to pm me pics of your gorgeous earrings. TPF is so bad for my wallet, but so good for my style. As much as I shop, somehow I manage to find things I NEED from the thoughtfully curated collections of other TPFers. Thanks for sharing!!!! P.s. Love your Ferragamo--it is a power bag!!!!!
Hello everyone.
Next up are my two Dior handbags. One of them is casual, and the other is a Lady Dior East West. I generally like East West styles; I find them more attractive than square shapes.
I love my Lady. She's about 10 years old and I bought her using my first salary, from a very demanding internship when I was at university.
She looks completely new as she came back this March, after spending 7 weeks at the Dior bag spa in Italy. Dior did such a good job cleaning her up, and they made it so special, wrapping her in a new dust bag and box when they gave her back to me. It was like having a new bag!
Anyways, here they are.
- Dior Logo Hobo in ivory
- Dior Cannage Quilted Soft Lady Dior East West Bag in cream

I'll do a couple of clutch bags next. I don't tend to carry clutch bags because I prefer straps. I only have a couple of these, one YSL, and one from Jimmy Choo from its collaboration with H&M in 2009/10. There was such a crazy furore when these were released and my husband called so many branches to find this clutch (and a pair of fabulous red shoes!) for me.

Oh dear.
So I'm definitely not in the market for a bag. I'm being good.
And then this afternoon I went to YSL just to look at a coin purse. Definitely not a bag. You know?
And then a white monogram small Cabas happened to me. She was so stunning that when I picked her up, my husband said it was actually mesmerising watching me move with her.
I walked out of the store.
And then I walked back in because when else will a classic YSL monogram tote come along at nearly 40% off?
So she is coming home with me.
I'll post pictures soon. Thank you for letting me share x

Here she is. Brand new Saint Laurent Medium Cabas Monogram Tote.
I shall call her Cabbie for short. Here are some pictures of her modelling, and one is beside her chic cousin, Antigona.
She's feminine and soft, and I love her.

I think I will tell the story of my "butterfly" Louis Vuitton next.
Introducing my Papillon in Damier Ebene. This one is special. She was an anniversary present from my husband, and she is my only Vuitton bag (although I have some LV SLGs as well).
It was so sweet of my husband to buy the Papillon. I had seen it many years ago and told him how much I liked the shape. And then I forgot about it. About 2 years later, I asked for a Chanel wallet for our anniversary. He said "I have a better idea". He took me to a LV boutique and said "you said you loved the look of this bag, do you want it?" And I did!
So that's how I got my first LV. Every time I see it, I remember that my husband knew what I wanted better than I did...
(He doesn't always get the right present though!)
So here she is: Louis Vuitton Papillon in Damier Ebene.
Ps. The mask in the picture is from a masquerade in Oxford. It's just a prop. I'm trying to make the photos interesting but I'm quite inexperienced at photography so my props may not always work well x

Pps. The following year I did get the Chanel wallet 
I don't have a picture but it was the Classic Flap Wallet in Black Caviar with GHW. A similar picture is attached from the Chanel website. We bought her in Cannes and I felt fabulous trotting around, carrying my Chanel carrier bag (picture of the trotting around is attached)

So I've nearly finished showing you my collection.
Next up I will do a collage of some of my mid-range brand handbags: Furla, Russell & Bromley, Kate Spade, Ralph Lauren and a couple of others. These are relatively small, pop of colour bags that I wear to colour coordinate with certain outfits. I feel sentimental about some of them, especially the shocking pink Hobbs bag in the bottom middle. I'd been gawking at it in the shop window for about a month and when I won some prize money I practically ran to the store to buy it!
Let me know if you're interested in knowing about any particular bag (which brand etc.) and I can give details.
I like seeing them all en masse, in a colourful collage
Only a couple of bags left after this!
