HANDBAG THREAD!!

A thread where we can post photos of our bags (and accessories), lovingly arranged in artful poses.

I’ll post some later; first I need to have breakfast.

This is my everyday bag. I have to be quite careful which bag I take to work as I have to put it in a locker. I was using my Kate Spade (can't remember the name) but the handles were getting damaged. I went back to my Osprey which is also lovely, but DH got me this Coach Elle hobo from America and I just thought as I've got it, I should use it. The leather has just got softer and softer with use. I love it more than I ever thought I would. I also love the'clink' sound of the gold coloured links. They're pretty solid. The sound is satisfying somehow 😁. I never used to be a fan of a hobo or a shoulder bag. I used to prefer a grab bag.

Thank you to all the PP who've put photos up. The handbags are beautiful. Some I've never considered but somehow knowing that a real-life person loves them and uses them makes them more appealing than the stock photos.

Hobos are great. And I love a good, soft, buttery leather. ❤️

I had a little Kate Spade which I sold in the end because I was never really going to use her and I wanted the money to put toward the Darley; but I still mourn her. She was very pretty and if I was 20 years younger and lived in the city she’d have been perfect!

Ladies,
What lovely handbags you all have & such good taste. I am very fond of a hobo style bag & have a particular soft spot for oversized totes. Today I’m loving this bag (I forget its name).

Beautiful collection @Sexnotgender. You've made me want to photograph mine tomorrow.

Sexnotgender · 02/04/2020 19:15

Thanks @chocolatesaltyballs22, I’ve got a couple more Mulberry’s I’m the cupboard but couldn’t reach them.

Love the ginger Rosemary Smile I never use my rosemary, such a waste to have it. I really should use it.

SpeckledyHen · 02/04/2020 19:17

Great collection sexnotgender 👍

SpeckledyHen · 02/04/2020 19:18

Which Rosie do you have SNG ?

Sexnotgender · 02/04/2020 19:27

I’ve got a lavender darwin Rosemary

Sexnotgender · 02/04/2020 19:28

She’s lurking at the back right of my picture.

chocolatesaltyballs22 · 02/04/2020 20:06

You're welcome! 😊

Come on, come on, people! Individual photos, please 😀. So many bags on one means that 1. I find it hard to identify each bag and more importantly 2. I need to appreciate the individual beauty of them.

Thank you ☺️

(Plus, I may be a little envious of some PPs' fantastic collections.)

Sazquatch · 02/04/2020 20:16

I did not know that! Thanks!

Sexnotgender · 02/04/2020 20:19

Sorry @IloveJudgeJudyGrin

It’s the only photo I had and I was putting baby to sleep.

Thickmuthafuckers · 02/04/2020 20:24

Here’s my newest beautiful bag that hasn’t had chance to be taken out yet Sad

Aaaah so beautiful, I dream of having a Chanel.

Sexnotgender · 02/04/2020 20:27

Ahh, wish I was ladylike enough for a Chanel.

TattiePants · 02/04/2020 21:29

This has inspired me to get some of my bags out for the first time in ages. Some of my older Mulberrys are in need of some serious TLC as the leather is looking really dry. I used to have lots more bags but as I work from home now I sold lots as they were never getting used. I’ve really gotten into some of the more reasonably priced brands like Coach and Osprey recently and really rate them for everyday bags.

There are some gorgeous bags on this thread and especially loving the vintage Mulberrys. @Sexnotgender I’m loving your red Mabel and @SpeckledyHen your Brookes (don’t think that’s the right name as yours have leather straps) are beautiful.

Sexnotgender · 03/04/2020 06:36

Thanks @TattiePants my Mabel was an eBay bargain! Though I had to get the straps replaced by Mulberry as the owner had glued them together 😱
Loving your old school Mulberry too 😊

SpeckledyHen · 03/04/2020 06:57

Thank you TattIe I love all my old ladies . The vanilla one is Brooke but I ring the changes and use different straps to convert to cross body .
In the main picture is a Teal Anthony , Tobacco Effie , Oak Ledbury with added strap . Individual pics are Ginger Rosemary with added strap and Chocolate Ledbury with added strap .

I do have a few more , but these are old pics taken a long time ago .

SpeckledyHen · 03/04/2020 07:00

Tattie you have a lovely collection too - are you on tPF ?

chocolatesaltyballs22 · 03/04/2020 07:08

This popped up on my FB memories this morning - first outing for this bag 5 years ago. Still have it, and still ♥️ it.
