What’s in My Bag?
Good Monday Morning,
I hope everyone had a good weekend. It was finally cool in Indy! Oh my goodness the weather was so much better. I was not sweating at all. It was so nice. On Saturday we went to HomeGoods to get the last few items for my step-son. He will be returning to campus this week. I hope he does well this year. He has a new roommate. Oh, fingers crossed they get along!
I am actually teleworking today for the first time since April. Boy, I have forgotten how much I miss it! But it will be back to the office tomorrow. I have been able to get a lot of projects done since we have not fully returned to the office yet.
In today’s post I wanted to do a What’s in My Bag post. The last time I wrote about this was in 2017. During that post, I was carrying my LV Neverfull. I still have it and love it. What’s incredible is the price increases! They are beginning to skyrocket and I don’t understand why.
I have been wanting the Louis Vuitton On the Go tote for the last 2 years. I went last year in April to look at it in person and it was $400 cheaper then!

I don’t know what’s going on. I was wanting to buy it used because all of my other LV’s are used but buying it used was horrible! It’s $1,000 more if you buy it used because everyone knows that they are sought after! It’s cheaper if you buy it from Louis Vuitton yourself! Anyway, enough complaining. I got my dream bag. It was an early birthday gift and the last one in the store.
It is beautiful and I do love it.
This is the inside. There is a zipper pocket, inserts for your phone, and tons of space. It does have two shoulder straps as well.
Not much has changed as far as items inside my bag. I have been carrying the same cosmetic bag, eyeglass case, and I did just get this new wallet from Coach. It has so much room and space for my cards. I love it! I do still carry my face masks in my Coach drawstring bag. I shared this last year in my Covid Essentials post. I just ordered two new face masks from Etsy. I ordered this blue Shabby Chic face mask and this pink antique garden Shabby Chic mask. I can’t wait to see them!

I have had my tote for about a week and love it. It truly was my dream bag and I intend on having it forever. Have a great Monday! Also, check out the boutique. A couple of dresses are on sale and we should have some new arrivals coming soon!

Glad you were able to purchase your dream bag, that’s always exciting. The price increases…I have a few very strong theories on this. Chanel is in that boat too. I can’t see myself making new purchases off bags and leathers goods. I still like Chanel nail and skin care products. I think its utterly ridiculous. I’m leaning toward the idea that this is a misguided attempt to make their brands more elusive when they are too widely accessible and recognizable. I honestly think that is why Chanel tried to sue The Real Real…it made their bags too accessible. They want to reign it back in and have an Hermes type exclusivity. Price hikes will lessen perhaps the demand, but it also has become very off-putting. I don’t think they care about it really, just want it to not be on everyone shoulder. Hope your step son has a great year??
Oh Ms. Tracey you hit the nail on the head! I think that is exactly what they are doing. Trying to make their brands exclusive! We’ll see how it goes. This just might be my last LV purchase if they keep going up. It’s just nuts!
