If you could only save one bag from your collection, which would it be and why?

Man bag: my Duluth Pack Executive Portfolio Briefcase, because it's functional, roomy, versatile, and held up well so far. I also like that it's USA sourced, built, and designed, but it's really the utility and style that matter the most.

This is not an easy question! It would have to be a bag I could carry to visit a business client, take to dinner, the beach and even go on an impromptu hike with DH & the kids...

I love these questions of the week.

I wouldn't even have to think about this one. It would be purely instinctual - I would grab my Chanel Bottle purse and run. For me it is the epitome of all things I have that are Chanel - RTW, jewelry, purses and my signature scent - Chanel's Coromandel - the only perfume I wear.

My monogrammed speedy 30. Not the trendiest or edgiest. Well loved and has been a travel companion with me. Many memories. Almost feels like my child. I remember the day I bought it when I was only 23 years old. Love that girl

I don't blame you, this is truly an iconic piece and even if you didn't save it for yourself you'd be saving it for posterity, it's your duty as 'caretaker' ;)

Probably my Louis Vuitton Kimono in Cerise because I really waited, worked hard and made sure I would love this bag before purchasing her. She's also a head turner. I feel that this bag is versatile (can be handheld, shoulder bag or at the crook of your arm). My current HG from LV

Thank you Papertiger and Lemer! :flowers:

This was such a great question to ask. It's funny, I have been very fortunate to be able to collect some real iconic Chanel bags and this is the only one that I really would grab if I could only take one. I also have the Chanel world globe bag. I just had to have it - really just did and now its like - yes it is nice, it is iconic but it isn't anything compared to the bottle bag - in my mind. That's why I love reading this thread - so many different thoughts, perspectives, and reasons for picking just one very special bag.
