I own so much shit and I need to share it with you guys. I am sure you have seen some of these in my What’s in my Bag(s) or Monthly Favorites, but here is the extensive tour of my handbag collection.
I love this little thing, 2008 Bottega Veneta, and I got a great deal. (Post shopping addiction the only thing that satisfies me is a good deal so I will be pointing out if I got a sexy handbag for a great price).
This is one of my favorite bags of all time, I have nightmares about losing it or being robbed while carrying it. It was my Mom’s, and it was handmade in Italy. One of my favorite family photos is of my parents walking me into my first day of kindergarten, my Mom is carrying this bag in her hand.
My boyfriend got me this bag for Christmas/Hannukah in 2019, it is vintage Prada. Mesh, nylon, and snake skin. One of my favorite bags for travel.
Vintage Gap. This bag is fabulous but I don’t wear it enough.
This is another hand me down from my Mom. It is also vintage Prada. This was my legally blonde moment, very profesh, but I broke the strap and I have not gotten it fixed (obviously).
I bought this Margiela bag when I first moved to New York. It is still one of my favorite bags. I added the ‘Short People are Loveable’ pin (true) and this ribbon from a Valentine’s Day present.
The Saint Laurent mini duffle in Black. This was my first designer handbag and it remains my favorite. It is so simple, so versatile, and holds so much sh*t. As you can see, it gets much use.
I loved the Saint Laurent mini duffle so much, I bought it in yellow. This one has been used much less, but it is equally loved. Just a great bag.
I also have the Saint Laurent large duffle, in Red. This one I stole from my Mom, because she didn’t use it all that often and I am obviously a huge fan of the duffle. This is one of my other favorite travel bags.
This is a vintage bag given to me by my grandmother. The straps were quite long so I cut and tied them (sorry Grandma!) Now it is perfect, the perfect little black bag.
Another gift from Grandma. This Moschino ‘Cheap & Chic’ bag. She actually wore this to my parent’s wedding (how cute). It is a great bag - great color and great material.
This Chloe bag. I have Chloe bag trauma, as one of my favorite bags (of my Mom’s) was given to me and then stolen from my car on New Year’s eve. But I am trying to heal, so my supportive bf found this on The Real Real. It is the perfect coral color and I love it a lot.
Cat bag. I love graphic prints like this. Just a simply great bag, but it doesn’t hold my computer which is annoying because that was my train of thought in buying this (despite not checking the measurements). Whatever, I got a great deal.
This is an American Apparel beach tote. I used a hair tie to sinch the inside and make it smaller (because I have a genius mind) and it is simply the most nostalgic and excellent little tote bag.
Little tan handbag. Marc Jacob made the greatest little bags. This one was like twenty dollars on poshmark? And I love it. It has a really bad oil stain alla Bar Pitti, but I don’t care, adds character.
This was a recent purchase. I don’t have enough little black bags, and this one was calf hair and only twenty dollars.
Shoutout to Myles Xavier for sharing the firkin love. This bag is awesome, I do love it, camo and all. Great travel bag and great school bag (I have a very large computer).
Another graphic bag. I named the dog ‘Pepe’ and I love him. This bag is so very small.
But not as small as this bag. This was a gift, and I was concerned because I carry tons of stuff, but this holds my keys, lip balm, juul, and all my cards. Shocking I know.
Another great bag from grandma, it is so interesting and cute, but again - doesn’t hold much.
I am only realizing now how many yellow bags I own. This is one of my favorites, I am obviously a wh*re for Bottega, but who isn’t these days...
And I’d like to note that they are all “vintage” (meaning not from the last five years). I also don’t pick favorites, I love all my bv bags equally. This one was the most expensive, I did not get a great deal, sigh.
This is a real vintage little black bag, it was my Mom’s. Has many pockets.
And for the finale, my Fendi mamma baguette. I wanted this bag for so long and now I have it, winners win!
