Crazy for bags!

[margies]

[quote]Haha... when I am stressed, I will EAT more.

I am not into bags or shoes or any accessories at this moment.[/quote]Eating also is one of my stress reliever. Whenever I am stressed I eat more specifically sweets such as ice cream, chocolates..

Well, I am into shoes, but I don't buy on impulse. I am into quality though. If it's worth it then go for it!

I am into eating too! Bags come a close second! But now as a SAHM, no extra moolah to splurge so have to make do with whatever I already have. I am quite extreme when it comes to bags, I have canvas totes that came free with magazines to a couple of good French and Italian brands that cost an arm and a leg these days. Hermes shall remain a dream.


That said, I am still looking for the perfect-sized, light weight and stylist black leather everyday bag. Oh, and maybe a nice clutch for dinners as well. And also... ...

:spank:

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.....

Have you found your bag? Maybe you can decide what the bag is for before you spend the money. Like, is it a everyday bag or for weekends or for special occasions. If you don't mind waiting a while, wait for GSS. One of my most versatile bags is a buttery soft lambskin tote that I bought at Gucci at 50% off. I think I paid around $800. That was 4 years ago and I still carry it very frequently.

I am crazy about bags. Since I am a SAHM, I don’t get to wear nice clothes. So I get myself a branded bag to make myself happy. That is my accessory.

Last expensive purchase was in Jan…$400 Gucci bag, marked down from $800. Very contended.

Hi Canvas

No i haven't get my bag. Yes i am thinking of GSS. Hopefully there are some good deals in GSS. Have never shop for a branded bag in GSS so am not sure how good will the sales be.
I think there is sales for Gucci, Prada, Coach, Longchamp but never heard of a sale in LV.

Type of opening - I don't like flaps and I love large openings.
Strap - Long, short or both. Eg if you have a young child, long strap is better.
Material - Nylon, leather or canvas ? There is nothing like Nappa leather but delicate. Nylon is practical and light. Coated canvas is easy maintenance.
Iconic or seasonal style ? For me, if I am spending over $1K, my pick would be an iconic bag.
