Thank you, jbags07! I don’t mind a little “patina” on a bag. I kind of like the blend of gold and silver on the hardware. Therefore, I am not sure when or if I will send my bag to LS. I called them and they are very nice and they seem like a good company, and I’d certainly rather my bag go to them in Pennsylvania than overseas (from where I live) to Chanel in France. But of course there is always the potential for a bag to get lost in transit.

As for wanting more bags....there will always be “just one more bag.” There may or may not be another one on the way <wink wink>. However, I am trying to pare down my collection, as I also have Louis Vuitton, Chloe, YSL, Gucci, Prada, Hermès, Céline....
Yes, on these chains with the reissue, the silver mixed in with the gold does look blended and would be ok to leave as is. That’s why I have not investigated it yet. :). I have a friend who has used LS and Gerry has done fabulous work. So if I decide to do anything it will be by him for sure. Without naming it, this friend used another ‘well known’ leather service and they ruined her bag.

Just one more bag...:). Yup! For me that will also always be the case lol. I also am paring down, too many bags I don’t use, working now on replacing with better bags! so hard to do so I wish you luck with that....but gosh you have such an amazing group I don’t know how you will part with any!

Wink wink...please do a reveal :)

Hi Mssmelanie! I typically use a bag for 3-4 days or until an occasion comes where I need to change to a smaller bag/larger bag/more casual/lighter/less fragile/more formal/more modest etc. If I haven’t used a bag in a long time, I evaluate whether or not I still love it and will find a use for it in the future. Then I try to work it into use if it’s going to stay. If I know I’m going to sell, I put it in my office. That way it can sit forever and clutter my office because I’ll never get around to selling it, but I tell myself I’m going to so I can buy another bag :lol::lol::lol:
Thank you for your post, beautiful!

Beautiful collection!!! Do you try to rotate every week?

Haha I do that with shoes and boots too. I get the same style in 2 different colors or I have even bought 2 identical pairs in case one wears out. I just bought a pair of over the knee suede boots in two different sizes - one is 1/2 size larger for days I need to use a cushioned insole to walk and stand longer periods of time.

Simply stunning collection! I love that you love the pairs of bags so much that you got two sizes[emoji16]

Deerskin bucket sisters. I got the small one & loved it so much that I got the medium when I saw her just a few weeks later! This leather is by far the softest I’ve ever felt in my life.
