Thank you both for your kind words. I do realize that my collection is unusual as there is no theme to hold this "bag story" together, except they are all exotics.They may not reflect the changes in style (or fads) over these years as none of them where "it" bags. The purchase spans almost 40 years. Some are special orders, others bought off-shelf after some consideration. But every bag serves a specific use, and also has a specific history of use. I have put some money in these bags, most likely "sunk cost" now. In retrospect I should have bought Hermes exotics as they did not cost much more than some of my most expensive bags, but I never much liked Hermes Birkin and Kelly even if the quality of skins and workmanship is in another league than my bags.

I do understand that this site is about handbags, but I trust that showing a few other exotic items won't have me kicked out. A suitcase from 1985 by A. Roth in black caiman and a waist coat from 2010 in alligator by Dennis Basso-Handmade in New York.

Wow! Your collection is so amazing. How did your love for exotics begin?

I'm not into seasonal fashion, so I prefer to purchase high quality and long lasting things. Also, I'm intrigued by the pattern of the skins.
