Yay a new thread! I lurked the old one until Covid and then could never catch back up. I don’t have funds for a bag or anything now but I like to ogle.

Thank you for reminding me of that brand! I went into their store in Rome back in 2018 and really liked a few items. I didn’t buy anything but regretted that once we were back home. They’re really nice pieces.

Yes, SweetPotato, I love playing around with the Iris bag and handle combinations! I always wonder if it's very heavy.

I will admit that I still really like the BV pouch. Although I will now always think of brux comparing it to human organs. But I still like it. Also the BV Cassette bag. At first glance I thought it looked like one of those seatbelt bags hipsters carried in the late 90s. But now I’m into it. My sister has it, it’s gorgeous

I went to the mulberry flagship when I was in London the better part of 15 years ago. I haven’t followed the brand as closely as I used to, but I almost liked some of their clothing more than the bags- which to be sure are beautiful, but heavy. I bought a zodiac key chain and used it for over 10 years straight, until it was so battered it was unrecognizable. I adored it though.

I do hope we’ll be spending big money on travel this year, once we feel comfortable. So maybe I’ll save up for some nicer luggage. Yes to luggage! This is an item where I can justify purchases because we came home from a family trip last February with not one, but two damaged Delsey suitcases. They were wedding gifts so I can’t complain 😂 What are you looking at? I haven’t really looked yet! But I know I’d like to upgrade to something that’s super easy for me to handle. My cheap rolling suitcase from target constantly falls over, lol. ETA: maybe like a rolling suitcase and backpack combo? I get really overwhelmed in airports so ease of use and moving around is key.

It makes me so happy that we’ve made it to a new thread! I need a new wallet. Right now, I carry three separate wallets every day for some unknown reason - a long rectangle kate spade, a cheap smaller leather one, and a Gucci card case. I need more than the Gucci card case, but I love it so. I need to find a new daily wallet to replace the two bigger ones. Are they all packed up George Constanza style? Or can you combine Kate Spade and cheap small one into a normal-sized wallet? the Kate spade is overflowing with receipts and store loyalty cards. But the zipper pull keeps breaking into shorter and shorter pieces, so it seems like it could go the the wallet grave yard.

I've also been debating a Marie wallet from Go Forth Goods in one of their limited edition leather colors, maybe Turquoise, because I love a fun color wallet.
I have a 5 year old Kate Spade wallet that is starting to show a little wear on the corners, but it's a bright pink and I love it

I need more than the Gucci card case, but I love it so. I need to find a new daily wallet to replace the two bigger ones. Depending on how much more you need than the card case, I have this LV coin card case and LOVE it. I don’t actually keep change in it but I have my insurance cards and and few random cards in the pocket space. It holds everything I need but is small enough it can’t get cluttered with random receipts us.louisvuitton.com/eng-us/products/coin-holder-taigarama-nvprod1420101v#M30271i do need a bigger wallet bc I have a million cards and also need a place for cash and receipts. I saw a few Tory Burch styles at Rack that might work ok but I need to shop around a bit more.

I haven’t been to the office since March so I just carry my festival bag but once we go back I plan to have a kick ass first day back outfit with a nice bag. I am a big fan of Strathberry right now but we aren’t expected back in until June so it may be a fun bright bag.

The Love and Lore is a really nice brand, I was eyeing them while I was Christmas shopping, the colours and structure of the bags are really lovely and look far more than they’re priced.

I’ve heard of this brand very recently - a friend of mine has the mini sac, and it’s fantastic. Hers is in this orange color - the lines are so clean and minimalist. It’s really nice in person, especially the color. Not too bright, but also very rich. I will ask her what she thinks about it if you like!

I have an Away suitcase. I like the hard body but that’s prolly it. It’s small and due to this weird partitioning in the middle, it holds even less stuff.

brux I ditched all of my loyalty cards because they were all linked to my phone number. So nice not to have them taking up space in my bag and it saves time with me not having to fumble for the right card.

I have my eye on a couple of Mulberry bags. They are beautiful, classic bags! Especially with that closure. I’ll admit, I’m a few years out from the luxury bag world, especially seeing I have a laundry list of travel I’m planning once the world opens back up. But I’m excited for my quilted green MK’s! Pizzaslut and I should be receiving them very soon, she may already have hers?! I don’t know! It’s taking FOREVER

2020 was such a mess & 2021 is starting as one as well, so the only bag purchase on my horizon is the Sole Society saddle that shipped a couple days ago. But, I'm hoping by our anniversary (September) or Christmas, I won't feel guilty about asking for a bag. I have a fairly large "someday" list going, so I'd gladly just send that his way & let him pick.

Have a wallet for your main stuff that you use everyday. Then get some kind of zip around thing to stuff your receipts and cards you don’t use on a day to day basis. There’s no need to clutter up your wallet with that stuff.

I’ve mentioned before that I think the Away quality is garbage. I bought luggage for MH from them and I’m really disappointed. I have Delsey luggage that I prob got for a similar price point and it’s amazing.

I'm a bit surprised by the Away luggage comments. I keep seeing so many rave reviews online. I'll definitely keep looking. Something hard body, for sure. I'll take a look at the Delsey luggage.

I have been super impressed over the years with Love and Lore. They are great value bags. I bought a super sweet ivory saddle bag from the brand about 5 years ago. It’s held up well and I always get compliments when I’m out an about. Looks waaaaay more luxe than it is!

My madewell transport tote is slated to arrive tomorrow. I’m hoping it’s going to turn into my every day bag. So I am super excited to do some prude cleaning and organizing tomorrow. ETA: purse not prude; prude is certainly funnier, however.

I have been trying to simplify, but I have used one of those small accordion files for receipts, sometimes Target has them in the Dollar Spot I keep my loyalty cards on a keyring. Most of them came with a small one for that purpose, but you could also hole punch full size ones.
