Certainly not me. Not even on Facebook. You can all disagree with me, just my own personal observations. I believe it’s in poor taste to rant on a board about how a $1800 handmade piece is stitched when people are losing their jobs and livelihood by the millions. Sorry to offend, but not sorry about my post as I have a right to an opinion like anyone else in this board. Just return the piece and move on.
I understand where you're coming from and I agree for most people this is not a great time to buy a luxury bag or luxury items.
But there will be continue to be a great disparity out there - for some, this may just be a minor inconvenience requiring them to stay home for extended periods of time. Not everyone is concerned about struggling to get groceries, unemployment after this situation is over (though I hope those who are fortunate enough to not have to worry will pitch in to help those in need). Even without any sort of pandemic, there will continue to be people who keep living the high life while others out there are struggling. For others this could really go a long way to cheering them up and wouldn't have a huge financial impact on them.
My point is, every person/family/household is different, and we just need to focus on what's right for ourselves at the moment and try not to impose our ideals on others
The extra straps that were released when the bag was released are no longer available. You cannot but the Kaki or Rose Clair straps separate from the Multi.
Dave is so handsome!Yes, tpf is meant to be a safe space for connecting, enjoying, kvetching about little imperfections and our love of handbags and slg’s and and and. We all need breaks and distractions from the very real horror that is this worldwide pandemic. It affects everyone without distinction. And it is totally uncertain for how long and in what way. Uncertainty makes us anxious.
Many here work on the frontlines, dedicating themselves to treatment and care. Many here work in other industries or areas that are essential to functioning in the crisis. Many here work in groceries, or veterinarians, or other places from which there is little break from worry and fear about so much and lots of contact with others.
I don’t know about everyone here, but I read so much online news and I continue to work from home, that I simply must get away for awhile every day, or I’m useless to self and other. I’m lucky to shelter in place with a husband and a much loved dog, but I also need some lightness and some connection to my “life before”. Handbags, wallets, and other such things grabbed me at 5 years old and didn’t let go. And I’m glad. Handbags represent so many things to most of us on tpf. And that’s just fine! Enjoying them for me is a fun part of life, and continents be so even if they are mostly in the house now.
Most of us are only too aware of the world and likely know people who are sick or might be sick ourselves. We are likely volunteering or donating and doing other practical things to help. If obsessing on stitching or the new collection or anything else helps for a bit, why not?!!! Mental health is also important right now, as isolation constantly isn’t good for humans as we are social beings. I choose this forum for one of my virtual forms of connection. I’m so glad so many of you are here and continue to share. Thank you!!! Now back to this regularly scheduled MP thread - thanks EmmJay for starting it all those months ago. This is another photo of Dave modeling the rose version.
