So excited you found another Grace since this bag actually works well for you — can’t wait to see it.

To be honest i was a bit stunned myself, they just don't come often.. plus until i opened the ad i thought this will be pricey and yet was not, some folks just don't care and want stuff gone, she said she only used it one season.. which rings true by the condition maybe a style she just didn't care for or she got something she liked better.

I'd love to try other styles but i worry about them working for me, i always just come back to Grace so why even bother, maybe one day i'll get my unicorn bag the speedy but for now this is awfully close anyways.

yeah, I realized that a long time ago. It feels like I'm carrying them a lot when I carry one for two or three days but do that 4 or 5 times a year. Still it only adds up to 2 or 3 weeks, and some bags get carried less than that. I started tracking use this year. I don't know if I can remember to do it every day, but if I do, I'm hoping to have a revelation at the end of the year.

Some food for thought (at least for me). I was reading this week’s TPF Closet Confessional. This week’s author said that even owning 18 bags and switching/using them throughout the year — this amounts to each bag getting used about 2.5 to 3 weeks per year (and therefore it sits unused for about 49 weeks a year). Yikes! That doesn’t sound like a lot of use for those of us with 18 or more bags in our collection. Seeing it stated that way is pretty powerful. I am still hoping to get to 20 (I am very close) or at least don’t add anymore.

I never thought of it that way.... it's sobering. [emoji51]

I think that is true. I have all the details in list format so that it’s easy to read and then a paragraph (usually 2-3 sentences) describing the condition. I think the important stuff is the correct name, style #, color and dimensions. Those are the items I get annoyed with if they are missing from a listing lol

Yeah, i include basics.. like brand, size and style plus will comment briefly on condition and interior pocket features but most people skim, because i get asked questions that the Ad already has the info on... :facepalm: Proving they mostly look for a style and name anyways...

I know what you mean — I want more bags despite having what any non-TPFer would call a “healthy collection”. Funny I don’t feel guilty about owning more than 20 shirts/various clothing items. But I have guilt about my bags/SLGs. I only have maybe 3 - 4 pairs of non-athletic shoes that I can wear without much pain (due to foot problems) — I should just donate/throw away all my old shoes that I can’t wear anymore. Maybe that’s why I covet purses because I don’t have another accessory like shoes to play with.

That's how I feel too. I don't do jewelry and do my own nails. How come I feel that bags are my one luxury within measure. Bags, like shoes and jewelry aren't used as often as we think unless we only have 10 or less.

Okay all, FINALLY got a new addition. Best part is is didn't take 50% of my current bag funds. If you all remember @musiclover lovely Black Pebbled Grace bag w/SHW? snagged one of those today in excellent preloved condition.

So now i own, 2 Grace bags in
the "small"... the closest i have come to doing this has been with my longchamps LP's in how i have a mini SH and a small LH.

They are so uncommon used, let alone for this price so i thought why not? My grace has some bumps and such from a lot of us over the 3yrs i have had her so i felt this was a good idea plus the different leather and hardware is a nice.

Noticed since it's the standard pebbled it's lighter than mine, i have what they dubbed "super prince" which is an extra thick pebbled leather.

Pics will come tomorrow as i just cleaned and condition it and we are black as the inside of a cows stomach tonight. [emoji38]

I just used my freebie! I went to buy sports bra at TJ Maxx and walking past the bags and find this smooth soft leather satchel that looks just like a regular size Rogue with no handles and even lighter than my Rogue 25. Best part, it was on clearance for just $60! I have always just drooled over the full size Rogue in 1941 red but I can never carry any full size Rogues due to their weight. I also realized during Christmas that I have lots is medium sized red crossbody bags but no big red satchels! I ended up taking my black Rogue satchel even though I wanted to carry red for Christmas. So this actually filled a need in my closet! The color is bright Cherry red! I love it! [emoji7] It also has a zippered pocket on the back!

Here a link for the bag:

I'm thrilled for you HS! I love my Grace. She is beautiful and functional and an amazing workhorse--but you already know all this. It's fun that you have a Grace with silver hardware as that gives it such a different look.

I'm intrigued with the "super prince" leather on your navy Grace! That must be one fine piece of pebbled leather!

I'm afraid to ask for details :/ I like this color too, but have a lot of similar shades.

Plus I can't determine if I broke my ban already - I exchanged a bag for a different style. Does that count? The exchange resulted in $ coming back to me...

Found another color I don't have..

It's called the Harmony hobo. Comes in black and oxblood for the leather/suede combo. It also comes in two sizes:

$695
14.5 x 10.7 x 11.5

Harmony 33 $995
13 x 12.5 x 17.75

It seems like it will be nice but I'm not putting it on my wishlist. I don't have a need for it.
