I try to valiantly pare down the types into only the ones I use the most. . . Then, fall in love with new ones or decide I need to buy back ones I rehomed. It’s an (expensive) cycle of life bc I apparently lack sufficient imagination to decide whether I like a bag unless I try it IRL once, twice, or three times.
(bags I currently own or have owned in the past)
Birkin: 25;30; 35; JPG shoulder Birkin; and the HAC 32;
Kelly: 25 sellier; 28 retourne and sellier; 32; JPG fringe Kelly;
Evelyn: TPM;PM;GM; GM sellier
Vespas, multiple sizes
Picotin: PM;MM;TGM (I might have had a GM, but Im not sure lol)
Trim: 31; 35
many jiges
Bolide: 31 Nero troika, phw
Victoria 35
tsako (31?) in leather and toile/leather
42 Paris Bombay;
Mini Della Cavalleria;
SLG: calvi; Kelly longue; bearn mini; azap; dogon; guersey trifold;
Karo; and some pencil case
Discontinued: chaine de ancre clutch, as well as a totally different bag,
also called CdA, with rigid handle and multi compartments and coin purse.
Garden party 30
double sens
The golf (a discontinued shoulder bag)
The silky city and the one that collapses into a leather zipped case
i have borrowed an onimatou from my mom
materials: box, vache natural, smooth barenia; Hunter; peau porc; vache liegee; courcheval, epsom, swift, togo; clemence; fjord; metallic; goat; treated silk; crinoline; toile with barenia, epsom, quadrille, cargo; croc; troika/calf hair; evercalf
i keep thinking about clutches that I have NOT purchased yet (medor, opli, baton du craie, Elgee, and every so often, a verrou ) and the bag that has gotten away, an ile de Shiki Porc. I deeply regret not buying a secondary market single tone crinoline Birkin; a Buffalo Dalmatian kelly (I bought an artisanal BD bag instead); and a 28 box vibrato K, phw, as the vibrato was in gray, black and white. Now I am thinking some kind of plume or smaller 1923 bolide. i do think the mini soufflé berline crossbody is cute
ETA: I am not likely to buy a 24/24 (unless it’s a toile 29); a Getta (Dislike the way the strap attaches to the body); a mini lindy or kelly; or a Constance or roulis. At this point, it’s safer, if a bit underwhelming, to buy bag models that I know I will wear. I am obviously not a minimalist, but I have successfully kept my bags at or under thirty for some time.
This is all I can remember right now lol
