I'm alone in this hobby too! I've never admitted to my family how many bags I have....or the price I paid for some of them. :angel: My excuse is that I make my own money, pay my own bills, so I will buy what I want. Yes I will.

And yes if friends or family knew how much I paid for some of my bags, there heads would explode. But hey, TREAT YOSELF!

I got the Sheridan Monticello authenticated, so I purchased that one! That's my vintage black bag. I've been wanting a black top handle and was initially looking at Court bags, but they are much more common than the Sheridans. The one I got was a black on black, and it literally stopped me in my scrolling tracks when I was browsing vintage bags. I am hoping it is true love when I see it in person and fix her up a bit! :heart:

Congratulations! I hope you love it.

I am completely smitten with this adorable all-black Sheridan drawstring.

Can someone please help with the different dimensions of the small vs. large PLAZA bag? So many sellers seem to have wishy-washy measurements, I'm not sure! I found some vintage catalog pics on pinterest and they say that officially the small is 9- 3/4 x 7- 3/4 x 3-1/2. The large is 11- 1/8 x 8- 1/4 x 3- 1/4. But this is so close how would one using "approximate" measurements know?

Yay! Please share after you get. I was thinking about a crossbody from either the Sheridan or Dakota line. From the Sheridan, it looks like the Monticello 4226 and the Glenwood 4225 are probably the largest size (at least from what I could tell). I also like the Dakota Lariat bag 4206 and the Ranger bag 4201, but I couldn't find the dimensions. Here was an old post on it: https://forum.purseblog.com/threads...-questions-here.355205/page-462#post-25324166 Of course, a satchel would probably be the largest in both lines but those seem really rare (at least from my month daily search). And I am slightly worried because I've read in multiple older posts that the Dakota line maybe seem more fragile/less durable than the Sheridan. I also think I like the solid and two-tone options.

I saw your post in the AT thread and really loved the way that style looks in black too--so striking!

I will definitely post when I get it. I anticipate some TLC in the form of reshaping and moisturizing at the very least. I hope it becomes a regular rotation staple in my collection.

Going back to the size comparison posts from a few days ago I feel compelled to post a pic of my roomy new-to-me Manor bag. I love this bag. LOVE IT. I've had it for a few days now and I've gotten the chance to carry it around a little bit and I am so happy with it that I just bought a second one in BT. My previous go-to style was the Court but I always had to switch to a smaller wallet so that I could fit my other stuff in it too. And my Nook had to stay home or had to be carried separately, which is annoying. Not so with the roomy Manor! As you can see, I can carry my Nook, my full sized wallet, a wristlet AND a small sunglass case (hard to see under the wristlet and represented here by a plastic tampon box but don't let that ruin the mood...this bag is fabulous no matter what it's used for!) and there is still a little room to spare. It is a slightly heavier bag, I admit, but so far that hasn't bothered me. If I change my mind after this honeymoon phase is over I will report back but for now I am so pleased with this bag!

ETA: I also love the top handle because it provides a quick grab-and-go option and it is tall enough to carry on my forearm if I wanted to.

I'm so glad you love it! I'm eagerly awaiting my Crosby arriving soon, but I really think that I want to get a Manor as well. The more I look at them, the more I like them, and I love how you've been able to so neatly organize everything in yours. I bet the BT is gorgeous, I wonder what other colors it was made in. I know there are several black and dark brown ones on eBay right now, but I'd love to find one in a different color than those. I love the color of the one @theblissfullyobsessed owns and has shared pictures of, but I'm not sure what it's called.

I hope you love the Crosby and I hope you post pics when it arrives! I was curious about the colors too. There is a nice bone colored one and also a red one on eBay right now but it's too spendy and the leather is damaged. I made an offer on the BT that I wasn't really expecting to be accepted but it was, lucky me. It's a rehab special and it didn't come with a strap but I have other BT straps I can use. As long as it doesn't smell funky I think it'll be a great bag for the price.

I think the color of the Manor that TBO posted is mahogany. It's a beautiful, reddish brown. The same color as mine! There are 2 on eBay right now but the sellers didn't list them correctly:

I just checked out the bone one and it's gorgeous. I love the idea of light colored bags, but the reality is that I'd either be afraid to use it or I'd use it and manage to ruin it lol. I'll have to take another look at the mahogany ones you linked!
