HANDBAG THREAD!!

[Ninkanink]

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.

Gucci Bamboo handle.

Alexander McQueen Red Heroine bag and black Novak bag.

Black Lulu Guinness bag. I have a few LV models and a Chanel 2/55 in black calf leather. I’m using the 4 above at the moment.

Thought I'd post a new bag pic to cheer us up this fine Monday. This is my favourite small Mulbs, my 'Sunday afternoon down the pub' go-to. Oh how I miss Sunday pub time!

@ninkanink I hope you're feeling brighter today. I have several 'what's the point' days every week at the moment. 🙁

Your thoughts on Kate Spade handbags please? Xx

Not sure they will be classics. However always buy what you like.

Kate Spade are decent enough quality but I'm not keen on a lot of the styles personally. Got my daughter a cute pink clutch for her prom last year. There are some good deals in the outlet stores.

This brand is fab if you want something a bit more affordable - fantastic quality. I have the Gigi in black and I love it.

Thanks everyone, 🌷to all! It’s not as bad as all that, just wasn’t really feeling it and couldn’t be bothered to dig out any bags.

Today’s bag is this little one from Aspinal, the Portobello saddle bag, I think it’s called, or maybe the mini portobello? In Bordeaux. I like it because it’s small, and I can dress it up or dress it down. The strap is removable so I can carry it as a clutch as well. And again, it’s a really versatile colour and goes well with lots of colours that I like.

Oh that one photo is very dark...

This is one of those colours that comes up so differently depending on the light.

All of my stuff is so wrinkled!

More lovely bags!

@BubblesBuddy how comfortable are bamboo handles to carry? I've seen a couple of Italian artisan bags I like but I'm unsure about the handles.

I am happy with it. It’s quite a heavy bag and I use it mostly in the winter. So on my arm when wearing a coat is fine. Carrying it by hand is comfortable. On my arm without a coat wouldn’t be great I think and of course the handle isn’t flexible. So it’s a bit “style over function” but I do think it’s a Gucci classic.

Thanks for sharing your photos of lovely handbags. Even though I don't participate much in style and beauty I always read the posts and it is so comforting and heartwarming, everyone is always encouraging so thank you. Your posts give pleasure to lots of people I am sure in these difficult times.

☺️☺️ I’m glad you’ve liked the thread @Goldenhedgehogs!

I totally forgot with everything else that’s going on...will try to take some pics tomorrow!

Happy Easter everyone,

My Huxley, desperate to have a night out, I’ve used a prop in my photo today 😄
@Ninkanink is your ring from Jigsaw?

Happy Easter! 🐣🐣🐣

Yes the ring and the earrings are from Jigsaw. I got the ring in the sale + further reductions for £10, which made me very happy indeed, and the earrings for not much more! 👍

Loving this thread! I have a few Mulbs and just before the lockdown I travelled down to London from Newcastle to Mulberry Fashion week where we got to make our own Mulberry bracelets. Never knew at the time that would be our last outing for sometime :(

@Ninkanink, I’ve got the ring in Green. It’s in my photo, but, seems to have disappeared. Result getting it in the sale, I “needed” mine for a night out. Oh how times change!

@Kracken72 can we see your bracelet & bags obvs 😉

Oh yes I see it now! 🙂 you have great taste! 😉

Thank you for a lovely thread.

Very nice bags to see

Here’s my little beauty..looks better full and standing up..but you get the gist

Here they are, slightly more than I remembered seeing them all spread out! Some are pre-owned as I have bought and sold on

HANDBAGS - god I nearly forgot about them!! seems such a long time ago that I use it get dressed up go out with lovely shoes and a bag!!

It’s only three weeks but seems so long ago. All I wear now is my pjs and gym clothes.

I have really enjoyed looking at all your lovely bags, hopefully you will all be using the again soon

Ooh I've found my people!

I am a handbag addict, got quite a lovely collection going on. This is my everyday bag, a Chanel bucket. It's so easy to just throw over the shoulder and it has a small attached purse inside. I've had it three years now and it still looks good although a teeny bit scoffed at the lower corners

Happy Birthday to me

I treated myself to an Elvis and Kresse bag. Its made out of recycled fire hoses and they donate to the firefighters benevolent fund. I absolutely love it.
