I've owned a LP weekend travel bag for some years now, the Delon leather and palladium hardware are amazing, it's water resistant too. The size is large but the depth at the base is 10cm/4", folded top. New LP accessories also, wallet and two sizes of pouch ;)

My latest obsession, a lovely All Vachetta Speedy, also called VVN Speedy. It's all natural leather and has to be protected with conditioner and waterproofing. It's a special order bag. My other a lovely All Vachetta Alma (VVN Alma). It's all natural leather and has to be protected with conditioner and waterproofing. It's actually from 1999 but still looking great.

1. Proenza Schouler Large PS1 in smoke color. I have been carrying this bag a lot because it's comfortable on the shoulder, and lightweight too. The knot on the strap is part of the design, although it can be unknotted if preferred. Lovely bag.
2. Proenza Schouler X-Large PS1 in black color. It's a really practical bag which also is really roomy. Perfect for travel or work with a cross body strap.
3. Proenza Schouler Medium PS1 in Black Patent. This is the classic PS1 satchel in an unusual Patent finish, it was released in November 2010 and I got this in the spring 2011. Great bag for rainy days and dressy occasions too.
4. Proenza Schouler PS1 Pouch in Kelly Green color. It's a small bag and can be carried cross-body, messenger style. Great for quick errands and bicycling etc. I got this for spring 2011.
5. Proenza Schouler Medium Blanket Jacquard PS1. This is the classic PS1 satchel in the Fall 2011 colors. It's a cozy bag for chilly autumn days, sipping hot chocolate and wearing knitted sweaters.

I've used these two products for LV Vachetta leather and Balenciaga and PS1 too. Blackrock for conditioning and Obenauf's for waterproofing. Applied in a small area with the finger and immediately wipe off the excess. Less is more with these products and it's better to apply many thin layers. See links page for product links.

I really want some new home decoration items, the vase Iris in the pic, candle holders and some furniture from Svenskt Tenn.

I need to start saving ;)

New Watch?

07/22/13

I'm thinking about getting a new watch, and the one in the pic is very tempting.

It would be a 2014 purchase though but it's on my wish list!

LVMH buys LP

07/13/13

This is a bit worrying because Loro Piana has always been an independent company and Louis Vuitton's parent company LVMH has bought up so many companies lately.

Not sure if it's a flower but I found this in the city park today.

ABOUT ME

Hello, I'm a girl in Sweden with an obsession for nice bags (in my taste). I usually hang out over at The Purse Forum, see links page for the link.

I'm actually working as an engineer with some creative computer work. I have not done any web pages in ten years so this is really fun now. See wysiwygwebbuilder.com for the program I've used. A late update, I've now been using the program for some years since I wrote the above in 2010 :)

I took down the Guestbook and replaced with a Photo Gallery. I have also removed the message box for now. The photo gallery is now gone too and the website is reworked into a trendy single page layout.

Have fun looking around!
