I had great fun organizing all my bags and the relief I felt at the thought that I need not run up and down searching for that particular one I need in that last minute.....
These 2 to the left below are my first party bags I bought in Fatehpur Sikri some 25 odd years ago.
love pouches of all sizes and shapes

This birdie is a class of its own. Followed a saree that I bought from Sabyasachi
This bag below to the right bought in Vietnam can be passed off as made in either kutch or in the north east
Isn't this looking cute. Hmmm.. now I have to find a place to tuck it away :-). Would love to hear how you organize your stuff. Have a nice weekend!!
Wow such a lovely collection u have a prevailing taste every bag has it own specality :)
ReplyDeleteWow, Shanthi, I am drooling....love so many of your bags. Indeed a special one for any special occasion and I love how you have it all organized. I love handbags, but am so bad about switching them out for different outfits:)
ReplyDeleteHi shanti- regular lurker, first time commenting here. Where did you get sabyasachi sarees from? Is there a showroom in hyd? I so want to buy some but I only get a chance to visit Hyd and chennai when I go to India.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful bags and great organizing skills :-)
You can find Sabyasachi sarees in Elahe in Hyderabad but nothing like looking at them at Carma in Delhi or Sabyasachi's own store at Kalaghoda and also at Aza in Mumbai. I am sure there must be some gorgeous ones in Calcutta too. If you are in the US - you can look at www.piakaghar.com online.
DeleteThanks for the reply, Shanthi :) I'll check them out.
Deletewhoa!!such an exquisite collection

wonderful collection!! beautifully organized
ReplyDeleteOMG! What an enviable collection!! That too the embroidered ones!! I wish I could steal some away- particularly those Vietnam ones.. sigh..
ReplyDeleteOMG Shanthi....what an amazing collection! That too...huge:)
ReplyDeleteWow! what a collection.
ReplyDeleteEven I used to have the the bags made in UP, but, I have lost them. They are really very beautiful. I wanted to get one during my trip to UP some 6years ago, but at that time they had no stock and I had to be satisfied with a belt made in the same way. It is very pretty, but I am too fat to wear that belt, although it fits me.
I think I should visit the UP showroom here in Bangalore and buy the handbag.
Wonderful display of bags, though I just can't change bags so easily, for I am quite lazy at that.
Very colorful. :-) I like the stand idea, can be used for so many other things that one would need to find in a jiffy. I am a backpack person myself (easier to carry and of course I have to also admit I'm too lazy to change). Nice collection. Way to go!
ReplyDeleteOMG!!!! What a fabulous collection! I can see you all dressed up in your gorgeous Saree and jewelry, walk up to this corner, stand in front of your bag stand and do an INA MINA MYNA MO...and Ahh you found THE bag you want to carry!!! Ok...so you need a beautiful mirror
ReplyDelete...you need a mirror, as I am positive you will be confused...:-) gorgeous Shanti...just love it...and I also love your enthusiasm to keep all these bags safe and in such good condition...Proud of you!!! hope you will find many more bags to add to your collection...love ya..
ReplyDeleteSorry was unable to complete...you need the mirror to pose-shose with your bag and finally decide what goes best with that Saree...:-)
ReplyDeleteAt first, I thought this was a showroom for bags until I remembered your project!
ReplyDeleteShanthi....you do have quite a number and what a fantastic collection! Totally Jealous of all those potli bags that you have.
I just stow the 10 that I have on a shelf. If they come with their cloth covers, I do put them in it with newspapers stuffed so that they don't lose their shape.
Oooohhhh !!! I am drooling :) can you find a spot to hang me along with those lovely , lovely bags.I can spend the whole day admiring and talking to each of them :))
ReplyDeleteLuv ur collection,even I luv pouches
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh... is that for real... wow!! Your collection is fabulous.. drool worthy... I dont know what to say... Its like a mini inheritance.. wow!! wow!! Im super impressed Shanthi... I sooooooooooooo am!! :-)
ReplyDeleteLove how you've put this together... I only have a chest full of tote bags and other non work bags... and work ones.. I keep in my cupboard so I can see.. and use regularly.. but I only have one bag for each colour for work.. and a mini collection of totes and fancier stuff.. A much small collection than yours. :-)
Goodness, Shanthi, what a amazing collection of bags you have!! I can totally see now why you needed a proper store-and-display solution for them, and what a great job you've done!
ReplyDeleteOMG Shanthi....what a gorgeous collection of bags you have...that must be display like this...they deserves:)
ReplyDeleteWow!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you for helping people get the information they need. Great stuff as usual. Keep up the great work!!!
