Polene Neuf in Fresh Almond. Brand-spanking-new. I'll take pics when it arrives, never fear.
Polene bags are great! The fresh almond is such a lovely color.
I need a designer bag in every color of the rainbow to accessorize any outfit in any season.
I'm currently contemplating a bag because it's named after one of my favorite foods. What's currently stopping me is that I don't want to be hungry every time I carry it.
Because the surest path to self improvement is buying another bag. 
The two bags I chose for my one month trip are bags I'd be happy to carry forever........then my trip was extended and I realized "forever" was defined as the length of the original trip. 
I had to buy another bag (or two) (so far) since I'm not home to switch to bags in my closet.

Ah ha, maybe you've discovered something - bags give us a sense of home? When we're not there we are out of our comfort zone and need to surround ourselves with n..... Never mind.

I was so ready to use your profound words to justify every future vacation handbag purchase, but we have to finish the thought.I'll go to the mall this afternoon. Usually finding a bag inspires me to come up with a good excuse.
Funny how that works. I appreciate how this thread ensures I always have an excuse ready when I find a bag I like.
I appreciate this thread too. It should be subtitled: Excuse Reference Guide
I can relate to this. I have more resources now, and more understanding of sources to get a bag, so I can feed the flame that may have existed in 2012 when there was a bag I wanted that was out of my reach.
You might have meant something else entirely, in which case I would like to know more, so that I have yet another reason to buy a bag!
I've definitely had some of that, but in this case, I just discovered Givenchy has released their Antigona in a micro version that has handles. I loved it when it was released, but always wished the mini was "smaller." Now that they've finally released one...I can relate to this.
