[quote=\"xueyan\"]I am thinking of getting a branded bag.


I have been working all these years diligently and realized that I really did not pamper myself much. As such, i decided that from this year onwards, I will start to spend more and be more relax about savings.

My budget is $1000, what do you think I should get? I know of many brands that easily exceed that sum, but this is the maximum I would pay for a bag.....

Do you consider Burberry as branded? I think you would be able to find a good selection at that budget.

Yes Burberry is definitely branded (at least to me). But it cost much more than $1000.... Unless you are referring to Burberry blue label. I think can only get Burberry blue label in Japan.

I did some shopping and see that for my budget, only Coach, Kate Spade Longchamp or Agnes B. I saw some nice designs for Coach, wonder whether the leather is lasting?[/quote]I'm not referring to the blue label. Do they cost more than $1000? Mine didn't, but maybe this was few years back. Usually, there is a 30% discount at Taka during GSS. Maybe you can wait for the GSS to shop for your bag.

Actually, if you dress like a trendy 20-something, this bag will look very in.

Otherwise, can look like an aunty...

So your DH must have thought that you look more like trendy 20-something to buy you bag lah. [/quote]


no, he bought it cos it was very cheap, i think, less than $10.

I used to find this unacceptable.. it's just weird seeing tall muscular men carrying ladies' bags esp when the bags are tiny, dainty, flowery and pink!...
But seems that it has become q a norm nowadays.
For me, unless I am super super tired or sick, if not, i wont ask my hubby to carry my bag...:)

I like to look at handbags but hardly buy.


I prefer casual looking bags since I'm a SAHM so bags must match my sloppy attire

For daily use, I have 2 coach hobo bags to be used interchangably. I like hobo bags because size is big enough to stuff umbrella, baby wipes, all sort of barang barang inside.

If quick trip to pick kids up, I use a small coach sling bag just good for keys, handphone and tissue.

For wedding dinner or CNY, I usually carry my one & only LV shoulder bag. Been using that LV bag for almost 9 years, still look relatively new.

I also have a few coach wristlets of different sizes and designs, one Liz caliborne shoulder bag, one Kate spade evening bag & one Kate spade wristlet.

I have 2 kiplings bags too. Love their large zippers, very durable. And the straps are adjustable so can be use as shoulder bags or sling.

Okay, reported my entire bags collection.


My next target is a LV backpack. Been eyeing that for long time but the price tag is Still waiting for a specially joyous occasion to trigger that purchase

Acceptable. But for how long? The entire day?

I usually carry my handbag unless I'm trying on some clothes then I would ask hubby to hold for a while.

He hardly carries my handbag...the LV he bought is for me to to carry, not him. It is a joy carrying it

[limlim]

Well… I feel that, for those bigger bags which tends to be quite heavy, it’s only TLC to carry for the woman… esp if got kid’s stuff inside during family outings… Not very fair to pass all the weight to the lady isn’t it…?


Not those small dainty ones lah…
