What Handbag/Purse Are You Carrying Today?!

[tatertot]

On Tuesday's, my husband and I go out to dinner; usually to a little rustic Italian restaurant in our neighborhood. Now, we call it "Takeout Tuesday" as we are trying to maintain some of our routine, the best that we can. I am taking my much neglected Red Gucci Disco with me to pick up our dinner.

Love your Disco I have been on the fence about one for a while now. With all this time on my hands during the isolation I think I will finally take the plunge. I hope you enjoyed your dinner. Our town has a "takeout Tuesday" movement going. It's a great way to support the small and locally owned restaurants and their employees during this time.

Today I am digging into my Mulberry collection and am cleaning and conditioning my fiery red "new" style small Bayswater. I love this bag and the leather has broken in beautifully over time. I give high marks to Mulberry for this beauty. I loved it so much that it started me collecting their bags again

Thank you, tatertot. The Disco is a great bag and if you get one I would love to hear how you like it. I have had mine since the beginning, back when it was $890. I also have it in rose beige. It is a sturdy little bag and holds a lot more than you would think.
Your photo is stunning, btw.

Thank you for the advice I can only use hands-free bags for the next few years due to a recent leg injury and I think a Disco would be perfect. I have downsized considerably so something small is just what I need. Most of my bags are large and too cumbersome now so my collection will have to change considerably. I need all the cross-body bag suggestions I can get

My first ever leatherwork handbag. I copied my PVC mini Le Pliage. It was so hard to sew this leather bag with a regular sewing machine, but it was fun and worth it.
It is missing a front flap button, but I may just leave it as is for ease of use.
I included my glasses for size reference.

Great job! It’s very pretty!

Another view. I can crossbody the bag as well.
I just couldn't get a perfect stitching since leather is so hard to sew.

Absolutely amazing!

Today’s bag that is coming out for a cleaning is my Balenciaga Mangue work. Such a sunny color and just what I need to brighten this rainy afternoon

I hope everyone is hanging in there during this difficult time

Such a beautiful ray of sunshine during these sad, somber days!

My isolation Bag not going anywhere today in my Coach Parker shoulderbag. She was a bit wounded so I had to give her some first aid...now she is all better.

Hi SBD!
I love your new colorful bucket bag! The whole picture is beautiful!

Thank you, sweets! Hope you and yours are staying safe and well. I haven't been taking handbags on my grocery runs (about every 1.5 weeks), because I don't want to touch something else with dirty, germy hands. But I've been conditioning and cleaning my bags, so I'm enjoying them that way!

She looks beautiful, and I love the blush tone. Since you are such a rehab expert, what is your favorite leather conditioner? I've been rotating through cleaning/conditioning my bags, and am always interested to pick the brains of TPFers!

Thanks for your reply! I like Leather CPR, too, so I'm feeling totally validated by experts. I use it for pretty much every brand, except LV vachetta--I use Cadillac for LV.
