What is your favorite handbag of your entire life?

Slow for the Cones: A Dooney and Bourke Orange Alto Vachetta Leather Zip Zip Satchel. (It was the brightest shade of orange just like a safety cone--our State Department of Transportation had a safety campaign.) It was my test run before I bought a Hermes Bolide in Orange. I figured it was worth spending $295 before I plunked down $3800 (at the time) for the Hermes. I bought the Bolide and gave Slow for the Cones to my sister. The Bolide has been rehomed but when I visit my sister I do so enjoy seeing SFTC.

We came back from San Diego from our annual in-law excursion. Sharing some pics of Nickel. I'm sure he misses the sun. He's not too happy about all the rain we are getting these days and no matter how hard i try to explain to him, he doesn't seem to understand that our state needs the water. The spoiled brat isn't ready to sacrifice his frisbee time for the public good [emoji26][emoji849]

My favorite handbag was my first BV bag - a Veneta in sand color and I still have it. I bought it in 2002 the first year Tomas took over BV. It was in my Saks catalog that said it was carried in 4 stores only. San Francisco was the only store that had that color. I had Saks find me one and ship it to me in KY. I spent way more money on it then I should and had to hide it from my husband. But I was obsessed with finding one.
I still have the picture from the catalog.

First day at work after vacs ... mixed feelings...
on the positive note - 2 parcels were waiting for me on my desk, both had small BV goodies :D
for some odd reason DHL delivered them to the office.... but at least something good to start the day with :)
