I always find some detail that brings back pleasant memories, even in simple bags.
When I heard about the initiative I said to myself... I don't have bags, I used to have them, but not anymore, I don't use them or I don't think I have them.
But looking for one in particular that I did know I had and that I esteem very much for its meaning, its illustration and the intention with which it was given to me, I found many others that I had kept because they were out of the ordinary, because of their colour, their drawings or their practicality.
The most curious thing is that I not only found a variety of colours and decorations, but also of textures and materials in which they are made. I myself was surprised by what I had, when at first I said to myself... I can't participate.
I should clarify that when I was in Argentina I had bags, but few and they were mainly for gifts or to put inside little presents, but here I have another kind of variety.
Let's start with some bags that I honestly don't know how they got to me, I suppose it was probably because of some purchase I made. And I kept them precisely because of their drawings. They are made of plastic, but they have weird decorations. One looks like a newspaper, another has various drawings of flowers and leaves and of course one has Egyptian motifs. Guess which one of these three is my favourite... I think you know it.
These two bags, and in fact it is very common here, are made in a fabric that in Argentina we call friseline, and they come in many colours.
The pink one, I like .... Because it is pink and the other one for its beautiful drawings of animals. This bag is an advertisement for an insurance company, but that's not important, what matters are the drawings, at least for me.
Then we have a set of mini bags, they are very useful for storing small things and two of them contained toiletries, beauty and such things. The big pink one is my favourite, because of its glitter.
These two bags are very practical and sturdy for carrying things when you are out and about. One is made of cardboard, but very strong, and the other is made of hessian, which is even stronger. I like the latter because it is rustic and useful.
But next I will tell you about three special bags, two of them souvenirs and the other one... I'll tell you about it.
The horse bag was the bag I was tirelessly looking for until I found it. It was a gift from a former student. It has a special history and that's why I kept it very well, so much so that I couldn't find it.
This bag and many others were made by an organisation called Nelquihue, a centre for the reception and recovery of mistreated horses. And it has a very nice phrase that goes like this:
Beauty without vanity.
Strength without insolence.
Courage without ferocity.
And all the virtues of man, without his vices.
You will understand why I like this bag so much.
The other one, of many colours, is a shopping bag, one of those that go inside another little bag. A former student painted it for me for the moving trip. All those colours you see are painted by her as an abstract painting. That's why it has a special meaning.
The last bag has a zip. And it is another special bag but not because of a story but because of the use I give it. It's the bag where I carry the mate on my walks, it's very resistant and there I carry the mate, the thermos with hot water, the yerba mate, the sugar and the coffee. Yes, I add coffee to the mate.
This bag has accompanied me on many walks and has travelled the city with me, that's why it's so special.
And which is your favourite of all the bags? I'd love to know in the comments.
Thank you all so much for watching and reading this far, I send you a big hello and see you soon.

Hello @avdesing good morning
You have a collection of beautiful bags, I love the patterns of the prints
What an incredible collection
Those patterns are beautiful and very original, I'm glad you like them, hug!🤗
I don't think I'm wrong if I tell you that the bag you like the most is the one with flowers and secondly the one with horses. You don't have one with kittens because that would be the favorite for you.Nice collection. Have a nice morning. 😃🥰
The one with the horses is my favourite... the second one... egyptian motifs hahaha I misled people today! hahaha thanks!!!😃
It's not worth the bluff, but at least I hit one. It wasn't the first one, though. 😃
Cats and horses... always in front!🤣
They are all super beautiful. I love them.
Thank you very much @marilui91 💞

I like how you decide to like a bag.. just simply, it's pink.😁 Have a nice day.😊
My favourite colour is pink! hahaha Thank you so much!🤗
I find color pink a cute color.. that's why I like the color pink too.😁😁

Cool bags! I really like this black pouch. It looks like a fantasy item in which you can put gold coins or magic ingredients :)
That bag contained just such an item, it is fine and beautiful. Good choice!
The bag of many colors and of course the doggy I love great collection of bags, plus you can reuse them whenever you want and in the end means a saving
That's another advantage! It can be reused, and that's super! Thanks Monica! The doggy bag is my friend's favourite one hahaha
Good afternoon @avdesing, I liked the whole story surrounding the Nelquihue bag and the phrase stamped on it. I actually also kept some bags with a spatial significance to me, which are no longer.... someone thought they were just bags and used them as such.
Happy afternoon @avdesing.
That's the one I like the most but then the one painted by my student... also hahaha thank you very much!😃
Thanks to you for sharing 😃, another bag I like is the one with the puppy....
Have a nice evening 👋
That's famous.... carries the mate hahaha Good night!!!!👋
👋
How cute is this, especially because of the elephant 😃 but wow, the special one with the inscription about horses is the winner here. But the painted one by your student is also so great... so I can't choose in the end hahaha. I am very glad to see your collection, Amonet. Thank you 🤗
Even in the bags I have nature... coincidence? That inscription of the horses is what makes it my favourite... my student's is special. she is 76 years old now... I still have contact. Thank you!!!😘
And you have the soul of a collector. Of course I fell in love with the one with the horse... and the one with the little dog. 😇
You always have so many beautiful stories to tell that I receive them as if they were a conversation with mate or coffee. Thank you!
There are always stories to tell... too many lives hahaha thank you very much!!!!🤗
How are you dear friend @avdesing good day
What beautiful bags, a really beautiful collection
I like the phrase about the horses
I appreciate that you have shown us this beautiful selection
Have a great day
It's a beautiful phrase and so are they. Thank you very much!🤗
