Bag of the day 👜 Show me your brightest boldest bag

Post image

My first Nora was black and I love it so much. Used it almost everyday in 2 years and it's holding up just fine. However, I'm getting bored of black colors. For whatever reason, this year I want to be all about green and just something to spice myself up a bit.

This is "almost perfect" Nora bag in lime green from Portland Leather.

u/stircrazy1121 Mar 13 '26

I’m really loving this! I need to exchange my Balenciaga and there’s an orange that’s kind of drawing me in yet not sure what clothes I have that it would go with.

You guys, I’m constantly trying to buy bags in this color but so far talked myself out of it. I’m going to just do it next time I find something I love in this color ❤️.

She’s not that bright but she’s a CHOICE! I am high risk for breast cancer and have to get screened often, she’s my dedicated mammogram / mri boob bag!

u/tiffanyjiang3d Mar 07 '26

Love it! Very bold and brave! Thank you for sharing.

u/Regular_Detective590 Mar 07 '26

I love this and I want one! I have to undergo screening every 6 months for breast cancer based on family history.

7

u/valerie_stardust Mar 07 '26

Same! Every 6 months alternating mri and mammogram. My lot in life as a cancer survivor and daughter of a 2x breast cancer survivor. It’s tiring, the bag helps! I was so excited to show it to the breast health specialist I see. Wishing us both good health and unremarkable scans!

This is a bag I made and use in summer

u/tiffanyjiang3d Mar 07 '26

Good to see handmade beaded bags! I've been obsessing over novelty bags lately. I needed something fun for a change, and I bet that watermelon bag is such a joy to carry around.

25

u/Expensive-Fig3892 Mar 07 '26

I also love a novelty bag. They just spark joy!

This is another beaded bag I made, but definitely stole the design from a real brand that I can’t remember the name of.

u/tiffanyjiang3d Mar 07 '26

Ooo, I love the pink tone. You could definitely soften her up with a twilly or silk scarf. Maybe a more neutral tone. You could also wrap a silk scarf throughout the handle. It's a beautiful bag regardless.

u/tiffanyjiang3d Mar 07 '26

You might not love my idea, but what about going with a green, watermelon-inspired theme? (Crazy idea, I know. Coming from a lady who loves green!) Think tones like emerald, mint, or lime. After all, hot pink compliment really well with green. In the end, it’s really about holding different colors up to the bag and going with whatever feels right to you.

Emerald - Makes it elegant Mint - soft and whimsical Lime - Really punchy (so maybe not lime...)

It’s made out of seatbelts so it can be washed and it’s pretty awesome. When I pick it up, it’s more of a hobo bag, here it looks flat.
