TBH...I never use my Birkin, I like something with a shoulder strap. I brought it down 2 weeks ago to remind myself to use it. I had to hook it on to the door handle so Dirty Harry wouldn't pee on it.I love it, finally you found the oneand looks perfect with your gold B
I have to admit...it does look good with the coat!
In the late 1970s, I was sent by a client to San Francisco. This was my first trip to the west coast, so I was very excited. I had some extra time, so I rented a car and drove down the coast to hike for a couple of days on Big Sur. And stopped for lunch in Carmel. Love at first sight!
Ten years later, after DH and I had been married a few years, I suggested we go there for a vacation.
DH: Carmel??? I'm from Boston! I hate California!
Me: Have you ever BEEN to California?
DH: No...
Me: That's nice. We're going to Carmel for our vacation.
We arrived in Carmel. Parked the rental car. Started strolled through the cute little village. And within five minutes he was looking around, a bemused expression on his face, saying "I LOVE California!" Uh huh. To give myself credit, I did NOT say "Toldya so."
I like shoulder strap (or, even better, cross body) bags best too. I did buy one arm-carry dome-shaped bag about five years ago, after I first joined tPF and started getting interested in handbags, but it turned out I never carried it. Fortunately, it wasn't expensive, and I ended up donating it to one of our local thrift shops. Lesson learned!TBH...I never use my Birkin, I like something with a shoulder strap.

I never have my bags in the same room as the cats - some cats like to chew on leather.
Would you consider selling your B? It should be used it’s so beautiful.
Btw, I turned 60 this week - got myself a new tee from Fanny Karst

I love this tee! Too bad I'm older than 60!
I'm a native Californian and my mother was too. My father was from NYC. I grew up in the SF bay area. We used to go to Carmel a few times a year. My father played golf while we shopped. Then we would meet up for dinner. It was always so magical, even if it was a little cold.In the late 1970s, I was sent by a client to San Francisco.

You defy age...Happy Birthday, dear
i have a friend who is 96 and still has a passion to live her life. She gets her hair colored and permed, will only wear fire engine red nail polish, dresses cute, loves her expresso and watching TV. Also enjoys a drink every now and then. Enjoys restaurants and will tell you the most interesting stories about her life. It is truly amazing to be in her company. Age is just a number....
