Love this soft feminine color and look! I’m feeling the same about canvas right now, so seeing something so pretty in leather is a nice change!!
Yeah I completely understand. You get to a point where the bag collection is getting too one sided all canvas and brown and is missing some colour and variety in materials. I do feel I'm maybe done with canvas for a while now. It's been nice and refreshing venturing out and seeing what's out there in the world of leather.

my new billingham camera bag.
waterproof for my planned trip to the zoo at the end of the month, pimped with an LV luggage tag. since the animal park trip is probably canceled, I have to use it in the bad weather here.
my heart doesn't sings when I see them, but functionality wins. :rolleyes:
i love the waist strap that the bag doesn't tip over when i bend down.

I have a couple of Billingham bags for camera equipment and they are fantastic bags, very well made! My camera was perfectly protected even in Iceland with hail, snow, sleet and freezing temperatures. It’ll last you for years :)
 
does this count as luxury? My new LGP Longchamp 60% modal/40% wool and silk shawl? It's in peony colour and I found this in the on line sale but it was only in New Bond Street store - they kindly delivered it to my home.

I have posted to more pictures to show comparison with my LV shawl in wool/silk. They are both 140cmx 140cm. I wore the grey one this morning as it was 1 degrees outside! Looking forward to warmer days and wearing brighter shawls.

I realised when I opened the package this morning that I already had the GUCCI wintery woollen scarf and a GANNI gauze weave summer scarf already in quite similar shades of pink - ooops! I do love the size and sheen to this scarf and that is what differentiates it from the others along with the size and pattern:graucho:

I think the LV shawls are obviously more luxurious but I think I may now be a fan of Longchamp shawls and will look at the "Rosseau" 140x140cm shawls in wool silk in the future. They are £250 in UK versus £405 for the Louis Vuitton.

I really need to put the brakes on buying and shop my wardrobe more. Anyone else feel that way?

I was looking for a cardholder wallet like the Recto verso with card slots on the outside and space for cash, coins and extra cards…but I didn’t love either the canvas or empriente leather versions of the recto when I got to see/feel them in store. Also nearly $600 for a small canvas SLG feels a bit much. I found this Mansur Gavriel leather zip cardholder wallet during Farfetch’s 30% off sale for a FRACTION of the price of the recto! It technically has one less pocket than the recto, but I think will make up for it by having more space in the zip compartment. And what a pretty color!

The colour is beautiful - I'm a huge pink accessory fan. I totally understand the Mansur Gavriel or other lovely contemporary designer v LV cost inner debate too:biggrin::amuse::lol:

So I got this one a few months back but have yet to use it. As you can see from the handle. It's one of the first Coach bags I've bought in a really long, long time. But something about the glovetanned leather bags...the quality is just beyond what I have seen from Coach, or what I remember. This one is the Willis Top Handle bag (not the smaller Willis 18). It just has a classic and sophisticated look to it. Can't wait to actually use it!
