Help me build my accessory collections?

[allaboutnice]

kou - I love my piccolo, although I managed to get mine in the sale, they are quite dear. Sorry to lower the tone a bit, but they are also the perfect size for a spare Tampax, very discreet.

You mentioned your electronic thingy rather than a diary. Perhaps one of the zipped agendas, or card case etc might be perfect for it, you'd have a fun time finding the perfect size, you and your SA might have to be a bit inventive. I remember someone else mentioning a particular Hermes leather item that fitted their pda perfectly, can't remember which thread.

Perja, how much is the Bastia? I can justify just about any Hermes accessory, but if it's a $300+ coin purse...I don't think I can justify that one, particularly if (well even though I'm not an LV fan), they have a Porte Ronde change holder for $180 Mono and $245 Groom >_> Even though I kinda like the idea of all of my accessories matching...oh Hermes, evil Hermes, you do this intentionally!!!

What a cool - no, BRILLIANT - idea to use that for tissues! They had one on display last week at SCP, so I think they do still make it. I can hardly wait to waltz in there with pocket packs of tissues to see if they fit!

Ironically, I usually carry a deck of cards with me (originally, to amuse the small children and build math skills by stealth, but now out of habit and for the occasional time one is stuck), but I think that case holds two. Does it?

I tried it- it's awkward. I ended up buying a couple of clarisse GMs instead. They are brilliant. One houses my tissues, some wet wipes, etc and the other cosmetics.

Rose, is the clarisse GM wide enough to use as a cosmetics case (Like for a lipstick, liner, small mirror, comb, pack of gum, small Purel bottle...)

This is the Bastia coin purse I have. It closes with a pressure tab and costs around €120. Quite possibly one of the cheapest leather goods I have from Hermes.

Neeya, this is surprisingly good value for money and you'll get lots of use out of this. It softens after a while and you can get a few bills in there too, or a small key (like an office/desk key). It fits inside a Karo PM.

Here are my two Clarisse, the PM in Rouge Vif Chèvre and the GM in Raisin, also in Chèvre.

Greentea, it depends how much you want the Clarisse GM to be deformed. It's a pretty flat item.

I have a bastia in vert anis clemence and I use it for bills and coins.

I love it and think it is a good deal. They make good gifts too!

 

[Greentea]

Thanks, Perja! I think I'll stick to the Karo.

 

[Perja]

That's probably a pretty good idea. The PM is ideal for that.

Love that coin purse. I've been on the fence about buying the LV Groom coin purse (love the orange stripe!!!) or getting something from H. If the price is not too much more I think I'll go with H.

 

[Neeya]

Sweet, thanks Perja!! That coin purse is going on my list

no way a purel bottle. mine holds lipstick, mirror, gum, etc. and it's not deformed when zipped, just slightly puffed. lol

Perja hits face on computer trying to see HiHeels' pics.


I guess I'm just slightly anal about my Clarisse puffing out.

I do use mine as a cosmetics case..... in it I have a lipstick,compact, liner, purell wipe. I also have a small comb that fits into the outside pocket. I am going to go and take a pic for you.....

 

[Greentea]

^ wow, a compact, too? I'd love to see pics!

Here are the pics GT....
