Truth is, 1 bag, or many, I'm not a constant switcheroo gal. I use one bag for a while, then another. Only an evening out with a special enxemble gets a bag change.
I'm an earthtones gal, so I could wear a deep brown bag every single day, with a couple of smaller vintage clutches and such that could pinch hit. I'd rather spend my $$ on a bag I'd enjoy everyday, not just for special evenings out.
I had an older relative who I gifted a big, beautiful pillar candle with flowers in the wax. It was so lovely she said she couldn't bear to use it. I told her,
use it, I'll buy you another! But when she died I visited the house with my mother and I saw the candle, never used. Not lit, not once. I vowed to myself, then and there in her house, I would burn my beautiful candles. I would wear my special scarves. I would carry my favourite handbags.
When *I* die, I plan on leaving an inheritance of well loved, well cared for, and well used things behind I enjoyed every day of my life!
And if thats ONE Hermes bag, everyone will know how much I enjoyed her, day to day.
