G: check out the Alto bags. There's a small satchel that's well priced.
Too small for me. But the Oyster color is pretty. I also considered the
tote in the Oyster. I already have it in black. But the price on the tote
wasn't good enough to make me buy another bag I don't need, but just
want. That small satchel is tempting, but I know it just won't work for me.

I know the size that works for me with a handbag. The bottom of the bag needs to be at least 10 - 13 inches. I have a 15" bag ot two and they seem huge. I did return a couple of bags because they seemed too small or too large for my needs. One shoulder bag was 5" deep and was an awkward carry. I try to check measurements on bags I own with a bag I am considering, but it doesn't always work. I feel badly about returns, except I am getting better at it, especially since I quit selling my stuff that I never wore/carried.

My ivy florentine satchel just arrived. Nice color! Thanks to all my PF friends that showed pics of their ivy bags and tempted my purchase.

Glad you like your Ivy Florentine. Mine is out for delivery. It's my last bag for a while.
I need to enjoy my purchases and collection and let the handbag fund restock
.
I'm sure I'll be tempted... but maybe I can resist everything.... unless they make the
price on the Altos irresistible. Might have to check the couch cushions for coins
if that happens. 🙄

Today's Florentine choice. Since I can't find/ have @mushroomNgrass's Ivy Hattie ;) oh that is one gorgeous bag! I am starting to use the colors I do have, even if it's not the same exact bag I'm drooling over at the moment lol Have to say, that is slowing down my collection hunting/buying. The Hattie is harder for me to carry length wise anyway and I'm considering function now more than ever as I'm getting older.

I did get the Ivy wallet on sale and added a small holiday plaid canvas tote to take to a Christmas cookie sale for our animal shelter. 🎉

Nice choices. And yes, when we use what we already have, the
desire to add more isn't as strong. Sometimes we find buried treasures
in our closets. Sometimes it just reminds us how much we love some of
the bags we already have. And sometimes decisions about style and function change.

G: I fell off 'ban island' already. 😮
And it wasn't even an Alto.

Familiar story.... watched a YT video, saw a bag
I'd been looking at for a while, realized how much
I loved the color. Just checked on the price, saw it
was really good (better than I remembered).
Found an old coupon in my email. Coupon worked,
but then the price went below free shipping.
Added another item and saw the coupon applied to both....
you know the rest.... 2 new handbags for my collection.
(it could have been worse, there were a few other bags I
liked! 🤣🤣🤣)

Yes, I considered using the coupon on the Alto, but the price
would still be more than I wanted to pay. As much as I love
that oyster Alto tote, I know the color is impractical for a tote.
The price has to be much lower, and then I'll buy it.
I bought the same tote in black earlier in the year. I won't pay more
for the oyster, which I will use even less. No matter how beautiful it is.
It's a matter of principle.

That kiss lock in red is really pretty. I use my kiss lock for a small make up organizer in my bag. Enjoy your surprise treasures.

Yes, I saw the Ivy Florentine satchel and purchased this morning. I have an Alto olive and thought a different green would be great to add to my collection. It was just under 75% off. I didn't want to pass it up.

The other colors end up being around $220.00 with the MERRY promo code. That's still a really good deal on a bag that runs almost $540.00.

Also, about 8 different cosmetic cases around $29. Sadly, I passed since I bought so much this sale.

The deals have seemed good this year.
