Re: Handbag Lovers: Do you have a pack, network of handbag lovers?

@1Professor 

 

I don't remember when I began collecting, now that I think of it.  Early on in my professional career I carried one bag for fall, winter,  and another for spring/summer ... that was it.  I also carried a tote for work related folders, etc. Remember when we wore sneakers on the bus and train,  and carried our shoes in the tote?

 

Then a dear friend brought me two handbags from her travels in Europe ... one a Chanel; the other a gorgeous navy slouchy Italian shoulder bag ... and I was hooked forevermore.

 

 My favorite silhouettes are the D&B satchels ...  where I have multiple colors and sizes; and the Hattie, also in multiple colors.

@DTRJPR   Fabulous collection!

 

You have treasures.

 

When I said handbags are something I CAN afford, I was not including the Birken—Hermes I only have scarves, but the Birken is definitely gorgeous, zen simple structure, but not even something I could save up for.

That lobster bisque Augusta will show off the leather weaving (which gets a bit lost in the darker leathers). It will blow people away.

It already has.

 

A Subway worker

 

Dillards worker said "didn't know that existed it's

exquisite". She was the store manager for the handbags too.

 

Girl at the bank and one gal at the library.  Think I'm gonna make history LOL

 

Poor Subway girl, bless her heart, thought she could buy it at Walmart ! LOL   I said "I'm pretty sure you will only find it at Nash website and QVC and it was 300 on sale'. She picked teeth up off the floor.

@SharkE + all Nash Augusta lovers:

 

Just checked my ORIGINAL Augusta, bought when it was introduced. Limited Edition. Mine is #76 of 200.

 

Of course she didn't plan to KEEP introducing that bag, which sorta erases the value of "limited edition" and I have no idea how she is numbering the Augusta now.

It has probably been 20 years since I bought my first Longchamp Gatsby black patent leather bag at the Saks outlet.  Absolutely loved it particularly the large pocket that fit my Samsung tablet, no longer carry a tablet.  I found many more on Ebay and have different colors, camel patent, brown leather, additional black patent ones.  They're on the top shelf way up in my closet will have to get them down!

@sunshine45 .  They are all fantastic and the fish bag is absolutely wonderful!  I collect fish pins, they'd go well together lol.
