I promised a reveal. After looking at hermes and everything else, I ran into a private sale at coccinelle today and fell in love.
The wallet was too nice to stay in the store.

I love this bag! What model is it?

You are not alone. I had a red handmade set of Italian dishes that weighed a ton. Even DH would comment on the weight when I used them. My daughter-in- law admired them and they went home with her!!! The housecleaner went home with about 7 large plastic bags of collected Christmas decorations, the church got a ton of clothes for the homeless clothes closet. We are on a roll and it feels wonderful. Plus, I sold two bags this week and will give my daughter two when she comes home for Christmas.

That is a lot of stuff to have moved out to a new home! Good job. I have my mom's Christmas tree decorations and they have lasted well through the years. Seasonal stuff can last a long time, I have found.

Finally completed the shelf....at least for now. I’ve decluttered so much that I had to hunt around my house for accessories to add to the shelf......

Wow, another exceptional display. Will you come and decorate my house? I think you have “stripped” rather than decluttered!

Just beautiful!

Today, I picked up two frames I had made for two clutches that I’m not really using but that I see as pieces of art. I asked the framer to make frames without the front piece of glass. I can set the clutches into the frame and either hang it or set it on an easel. They’re now in my closet. Sorry the photos are so big....the smaller photos kept flipping and looked weird.
The top one is by Elsa Peretti. I collect her jewelry. I love the sterling bean on the closure.

This is my baby Verrou from 2004. I love this style with the ‘silver’ latch but it’s so small that I’d rather use it as a piece of art than as a clutch.....

I really do love these as art......and now they’re closet decor.

Very cool. I've been wanting to do this as well and I think the open front is a great idea!

I gave one bag away to a friend yesterday and she was so happy ❤️

I thought of @diane278 as soon as I saw this!

It's the final day of the John Ruskin exhibit at Yale and his mailbag was prominently displayed. (On par with nearby J.M.W. Turner paintings/watercolors.) It's part of the university’s collection of his manuscripts, and I think it’s beyond wonderful that it was included it in the exhibit.

(And I bet that was the only bag he owned.)

I don't think you can get rid of much more. When I see pix of your house it looks quite minimalistic.

My house is small. And it’s not endowed with great storage. Stuff accumulates. Once again, I’m going through a process of divesting things....in addition to reducing my bag wardrobe.
On the bag front, instead of having my high of 4 styles in Barolo, I now have one. If I need a Barolo colored bag, I grab the only one I still have. This, I see as success.
