Seriously guys, we should have a Zoom party where we show off our pretty bags!
It’s been forever since we’ve had one.

DH got me this PLG triangle bag in honey. I had asked for the tote so I'm not sure why he got me this instead, but I love it! Maybe he knows me better than I know myself because this strap length is perfect for me.

Every time I see one of the Portland Leather Goods bags and I drill over them. The leather is just so perfect.

The stock photos of the wonton bag had me ehhhh but Taitai’s creeper photos of it make me love it. They should hire you to sell that bag! This exactly! I saw stock photos and was like it is cute, but Taitai sold me. I think that will be my next treat!

I revisited my Demellier without the color expectations and I’m not sad about it anymore. My biggest concern was that I had a pricey, monogrammed bag that I wouldn’t carry. But now I can see myself using it as my winter bag (the Coach saddle in warmer weather). Now I need a new winter coat because it’s almost exactly the color of the bag 😁

snowyowl I’d feel the same way, and I’m so sorry you didn’t get the color you wanted. The Venice is a beautiful, beautiful bag, and I think the burgundy looks really nice. It will go with so much, and I hope it grows on you! Color aside, how do you like it? Is the interior nice? Does it fit enough? I’ve wanted a Venice Midi in the dark green color for a while. It seems like the perfect cross body. The interior is nice! It’s a solid bag, I wouldn’t say the weight is a problem, but you can definitely feel it. The inside of the flap is another layer of leather, rather than lined, so I think that’s part of the reason. It fits lots. I put a continental wallet and my phone in there, and it looked like plenty of room to add a sunglasses case, keys, and other odds and ends. My only tiny quibble is that when I took the protective plastic off, the clasp immediately scratched where it rubs against the metal. I’ll snap a pic. It isn’t a part of the bag you see unless you are in the process of opening it, so I don’t care about that... but it makes me worry a little bit about the durability of the visible metal pieces on the strap and the bar at the bottom of the flap.

snowyowl I love that Demellier in that color sooooooo much. Gorgeous!! I hope the clasp holds up - I would think it will. I have some bags that get little scratches on the hardware quickly (especially clips for removable straps), but I’ve found that it doesn’t really effect the functionality.

I adore them all Taitai!! That little round pistachio bag 😍 we can be green bag twins! The disc is super cute - very small, so I’d use it more like a wallet or coin purse on a chain, but yes - it’s sooo fun. I got it for my sister. They had a promo at the store for 30% off of small leather goods, plus another 7% off of that, so I couldn’t help myself. Will let you know how she likes it once she receives it in the USA! Also, I love that the USA doesn’t charge import duties for shipments under $800. I really wish the country I lived in was that way. We have to pay duties for anything over $45 sent from overseas....even used items. Ugh!

Taitai what size wonton did you get? The 25! I thought the 20 was too small for the amount of stuff I carry. Although the 20 is also very cute.

Every time I see one of the Portland Leather Goods bags and I drill over them. The leather is just so perfect. It is. And it ages really well. I've had a small crossbody and a tote for about a year and the leather is wearing absolutely beautifully. Its softer and deeper/darker than new but in a really great way.

MH bought me a bag last month that was technically my Christmas gift. In hindsight, it was a bad idea because they shut our restaurants down again the next day, but he wouldn’t let me return it. I’m grateful either way, it’s so pretty.

H got me the bag I asked for :-)
Leatherology Meadow Double Zip...with the thin strap. He got the premium pebbled black leather which is surprisingly difficult to access for some reason.
I absolutely love it. It’s the perfect size for me and satisfies my Disco desire but stays within the bag budget I set!
