Why I Walked Away from Goyard (and Love Fauré Le Page)

Still chugging along with No Shop January here, despite a small hiccup. Mel and I are talking about summer travel, so it might mean that I will have to extend No Shop January to the Spring to save money for the summer.

No Shop January is teaching me to hold off on that impulse and love what I have in the closet before I run out to get another sweater of the same style (or that fourth tissue turtleneck, when three are perfectly fine).

On the other side of the spectrum, there are times when you want to save your money for a really big item, say to celebrate a milestone, or to get an investment piece. For me, that's luxury French bags. It sounds silly, but I call them Fancy French Bags (FFBs). I love the dedication to quality, the craftsmanship and the heritage behind it.
