Your Forever Handbag... What is It?

[atlantique]

I love the bollide! It's one of my favourites. Wear yours in good health!

Thank you so much! I love the Bolide very much, but also the Kelly!! Enyoy yours!

I am getting to understand that my forever bags are a balance of rugged and elegant. These are not the museum pieces but the regularly worn.

Gucci BTH: Naturally strong, irregular bamboo handle (feels so good in the hand) and bold-rounded lines.

Hermes Bolide: Clean Modern shape, rolled handles, does smart and casual.

I admire others like H Kellys, and some I wear even more like the Evie, but Kelly is more on the side of elegant and Evie the rugged. It's the absolute balance that makes a forever bag for me.

Beautifully said-- it's all about balance

I love this description - “rugged and elegant”.

I forgot about Gucci bamboo! I always loved the clean lines of the Nymphea!

I think I’ve finally realized I’m too fickle to have a “forever” bag. At least I’m not churning through them as often as I used to…I’m keeping them and bringing them out to re-use every once in a while. Right now my vintage LV Speedy 25 is great - easy to use, fuss-free, classic, goes with everything.

But that doesn’t stop me from dreaming of my HG. I used to think it was a Hermes Kelly, but let’s be honest….it has a fiddlely closure, too ladylike for my style, and even vintage is SOOO expensive. Right now, the ones that I could see myself using forever are a Valextra Series S or a Loewe Amazona or a custom Peter Nitz

Love that Peter Nitz bag!

don't think I'd ever get rid of Bal City or Marc Jacobs blake. My Prada wallet may be forever. I've been carrying it since 2009. It's faded but not torn or damaged in any other way.

I have two I never intend to part with. So much so I had my initials added to both!
My Birkin 30 in Ebene Clemence (makes me smile every time I look at her) and for more UTR days my Moynat Pauline. Absolutely adore both of them

My LV Speedy 25 Bandouliere in DE. And my Coach Court bag my grandma bought me in 1995.

My pochette metis in empreinte noir. I love the size, and shape. The top handle is great for grabbing it quickly and I love being hands free. It's my daily bag and in the four years I've had it I've loved every second of using it.
