Oh no I’m sorry to hear that. I wish you and your family a healthy X-mas.

HS — sorry to hear about your DD. Hope she is ok and get better soon. Please keep us posted.
 
I have a large wristlet from that line that my oldest "adopted" and she has an older wristlet/wallet from years ago. It was such a fun line.

It really was. I’d love it if they brought something like it back.

Love bag watching! see alot of MK, Roots, LV... some Coach but not often newer styles, some Longchamp LP's actually saw a cat one today lol.

Yes! The LP is very popular around my area! I saw one lady with the cat bag and I was so happy! I love seeing any of the seasonal pieces.
 
Ok. I like to share the bag I got after my 6 month pause/ban. As you know, I have spent quite some time researching many bags and bombarding you all with questions. I also mentioned that I sold a number of things in the recent months to downsize and fund my next bag. That’s why I felt a lot of pressure to get the right bag (with no regrets later). Surprisingly I chose this bag with almost no research beforehand but it does check all boxes except for one (shoulder carry. But it has a shoulder strap). This was listed as “New” which means “appears unused” — but I supposed someone could have used it once or twice (I am ok with this). It is absolutely pristine and perfect and I honestly fell hard for it upon arrival earlier in the week. This bag was made about 6 months ago (according to date code). I feel this is the absolute best bag for me at this point given the amount I want to spend and my requirements. I always seem to pick these LVs that are not classic staples but I need to stay true to myself. I love that it has two outer pockets for easy access to things. Also the inside is a beautiful beige/pink color instead of the usual red interior. Thanks for helping me with my decision and letting me share. Needless to say, I am done buying for a good while.

Another item I got and am keeping. Adding to my wallet collection is this new unused and pristine piece. This color is so pretty in person. I was going to get it in black (from the store) but decided I couldn’t do it in black (no matter how practical it is).

Oh sweet. Great color, i like it's not black, SLG"s are a great place to step out of the practical and more neutral IMO.
 
I did a thing. Hehe.

I saw these bags online a couple months ago but never in person. Then when I went to Bloomingdales I saw they had the mini versions for 30% off. But I felt they were a touch too small. Then I saw that Neiman Marcus had them for 30% plus the Friends & Family sale for 25% and 10% cash back in ******. I just had to try it out.

Love the color! Never seen this before, so it has a built in drawstring layer?

So my recent purchases will sadly be going back. Too bad too because I scored some awesome deals. I bought the quilted camera bag with rainbow rivets. Looove the bag, but it just doesn’t sit right on me. It sticks out and is too boxy. I sadly think I will be straying away fromthw Coach FP camera bags unless they change the design. The outlet Isla one works perfect for me so I’ll wait until one pops up I want and go with that. Length of chain is better and looks better on me. The other purchase was the sequin clutch wristlet. Loove the sequins, but the size isn’t working for me. Maybe in the future if I can find one of those on FOS for cheap I’ll purchase it. So no new bags and I sold one so my number is down. [emoji3]

Sorry they didn't work out, but you know so much is out there no point in settling and besides most of us have pieces that work for us anyways, we don't need sorta work ones as part of our collections.
 
If I had all the money in the world I just don’t know if I could spend that much on a bag. I’m not knocking those that do I just don’t know if I could lol Coach is my comfort level lol

I was in Saks the other day browsing bags and I was carrying my Page 27 with rivets and most of the brands there just did not compare to my Coach bag. I feel like a broken record at this point but my Page is probably the best quality and construction of any Coach bag I’ve ever purchased. That bag is a sleeper and I’ll be really sad if it’s truly discontinued.

Honestly, i think most of us have brands we just "click:" with. I know myself, I prefer Roots, i own/buy other brands but yet end up selling them and going right back to Roots, I love looking at other brands but have pretty much concluded i must stop buying the others, i only end up right back at my go to brand :lol:
 
Speaking of grey, my first reveal of my recent “splurge”. Not sure if this should be part of my bag count or not. Maybe it depends on if I use it for travel only or day to day. Anyways, my first Le Pliage (NWT).

Oh very nice! i still have my LP's though i cannot carry my SLH with my nerve issues. SUper light and carry alot, very nicely made too.
