new holiday bags anyone...?

stevieb — Sat, 20 Dec 2014 18:10:39 GMT

Anyone breaking in a beautiful new bag for holiday week... or hoping for a new and special one under the tree?

I've been sitting on a pretty Isabella Fiore leather and tapestry satchel with brick red as the predominate color and will be using it this week... I don't have a picture handy, but am trying to find one... Otherwise, I've laid in a supply of new bags in the 'from me - to me' gift giving category the hosts keep crowing about...

I nabbed an (as-is) Issac satchel in dark green (would love to have the red one too)...

Along with a Valentina (no, not Valentino) satchel in sumptuous glossy black leather with cognac trim...

There were a few other holiday treats along the way, but this will do for starters...

Anybody else?

Happiest of Holidays to all the bag ladies!

As usual, stevieb, very nice selections!

I purchased a navy Coach Scout hobo with matching accordion wallet. Sorry, I'm not good at transferring pics :-(

I just received a Hobo Frost bag I ordered from Haute Look. Glazed black leather with no hardware.

Thanks HL, and no worries about the pictures. I wish I was better at it... Would love to post the Fiore bag! Enjoy your new gems!

My Aimee Kestenberg is almost here from Zulily in time for the holidays. I have this one in wine; ordered the caramel. I love the strap on this one plus the lighter weight. Enjoy your new bags everyone.

Is this your new Scout Coach?

Love this thread! There are some great bags here, you all have really great taste. I really wish I was a handbag designer or vendor.

I got a new D&B ear early for Christmas from my husband, as I mentioned on another thread. I started using it early! (Charleston Shopper/tote, in grey).

The Dooney Sutton Hampshire just arrived from the Q, so I'm breaking it in (or simply adoring it) during the holidays.

I'm not a coated cotton gal (exception LV), but this is lush, better than LV. Has enough slouch to hug the body and enough room to hold a small village. The piping of green suede is elegant. Perfect signature bag for Dooney's 40th anniversary in 2015 (although Dooney didn't do handbags until 1981).

It's heaven to have a BIG bag that isn't leather-heavy, though I'll continue to relish my leather hobos.

Oh wow, I'm going to have to try to find a shot of the AK bag in wine... For some reason, the whole wine, Bordeaux (and so on) color has sort of taken me by storm this year...

In addition to the bags mentioned, I have to admit to having scored a beautiful Kors satchel in that color a week or so ago at TJ Maxx...

I was torn between breaking in that one or the Fiore, but I've been sitting on that Fiore for a while, so went with it!

Love looking at handbags! Here's my new baby:

Oh, visually loving everyone's new handbags! Sigh.

My LAST week's new Dooney, scored at the Dooney outlet for $135 (listed price on Dooney is $388) is the Toledo Leather Satchel:

The blue is SO intense. Toledo leather is buttery soft. My favorite medium-size bag.

New Brahmin ember Melbourne medium tote. They sold out soon after I ordered mine on the 8th of December....positively gorgeous!

The material is a metallic burgundy with gold hardware. Looks just like the pantone color for 2015. Love it!

You caved!! I have to say I do love the look of this one! Glad you opted for it and hope you really enjoy it!

Oh my... Now how did I miss THAT? This bag is beautiful! I bought my first PG at SHQ last summer and love it. This one must be new because I don't recall seeing it and I'm pretty sure I would've noticed it... In fact, excuse me for a moment while I race over to their website!

Caught. Yes, I caved. With the Q I feel confident in sending a bag back (unlike with Dooney, a horror story these days). But it seduced me.

I bought the joy and Iman bag from hsn in the cognac. It is the domed satchel with the pocket watch accent. I fell in love with the style and how clean it is, so when i was browsing as is items, I found the D&B zip zip satchel and had to have it. I tried to get the black, but it sold out before I could click on it, so I ended up buying the smoke. My future plans include a Brahmin. I have been wanting a Brahmin for a long time. Maybe next year will be the year!

What lovely bags! Stevieb, thanks for starting this thread.

I've been pretty good lately. I've only made one "to me, from me" bag purchase this month, the D&B Maxi Quilt Medium Satchel (probably my last D&B purchase).

For the last of couple of days, I've been using my orYANY Candice Satchel in Crimson:

I haven't used this one in a while and forgot how much I like her. Thought the color was great for the holidays.

Hi Cindy, YES that's the one! Thanks for posting the pic! I wanted a year-round bag and hobos are my favorite. This bag is absolutely beautiful in person and very well constructed. I don't often use cross-body because of neck/back issues, but will use it that way for travel and shopping, and the soft leather forms very well without being too wide and cumbersome. LOVE your Aimee Kestenberg, it is gorgeous!!! Paula
