I love the KP, doblis from H is just divine. I don’t own anything but I had a chance to handle it in on of their exhibitions . The KP is my favourite clutch, I have a brown one and if I could afford it and find one, I’d get a pink and another brown one in doblis

I love your brown KP, please post a photo here :love: Yes, doblis is amazing, I bought it in black too :blush:
 
Loving everyone’s browns. I am bad at posting pics, but I though about this post yesterday when I took out this little Trio to start its Fall duties. The actual brown (and it is a true brown) is the back pouch (don’t know why this thing is not designed to be worn both ways...), but the front is quite more rusty than it looks in the pics.

But what really brought home that a change is in the air is the top. This is my mum’s Courreges from the 60s whcih I wore non stop in the 90s. It had not seen the light of sun for years!

OMG that original Courrèges, what a treasure, please post a pic of the whole bag if you get a chance.

It is surprising the Trio can't be worn reversed. Is that because of where the strap attaches?

Actually, you Courrèges reminds me I have a little brown suede Gucci X-body/shoulder bag from 1970 (as in the actual year). I need to hunt for it (or at least a pic) it's little but it's one of my favourites and so beautifully made.

The Trio can be worn by the other side but indeed (apart from the logo being only in front) it is the way the strap attaches, that on the back side it looks wrong way round, which I find mildly irritating. Not sure how that could have been solved though... Of course for most Trios it doesn't matter because they are one single colors, but they could have found a different solution for the tri-color ones...

I need to see that 1970 Gucci bag. I was lucky enough to savage a few Courreges items from my unsentimental mother including a few tops, a dainty little clutch and, my treasure, a futuristic late-70s pink puffer.
Would you believe it that when my daughter was born, my mother came home with this pretty little dresses she had asked a seamstress to do in the crispiest whitiest pique cotton. I asked where the beautiful fabric came from and she goes: oh, took it from an old Courreges dress ... :shocked::sad:

I don't know whether to laugh or cry!

I'll do some digging for the brown Gucci after work

Omg! My mom threw away her old Pucci, I know the feeling. As a result, my DD has a lot to chose from as I’m a bit of a fashion hoarder.
More browns from the closet, two old favorites:
Ebene and toile bolide and chocolate box kelly

I love that you have to “dig” :lol: I’m imagining a glorious room full of treasures!

Put it this way, I went to a newly refurbished Gucci store on Friday. Looked kinda crazy but creative. Too many colours, too many patterns, mad mix of vintage decades ... Too much. I swear Alessandro has modeled the interiors on my home

That Kelly seems made of actual chocolate. But OMG the Bolide... I love love toile and had never seen this combination. I would have a hard time choosing between this and @papertiger gorgeous brown 1923! (not that I ever going to find myself in such a wonderful situation... :P)

Plenty of time, one day you very well may have a slice of chocolate heaven (and it doesn't even have any calories :angel: )
