Best Investment

[Jaim45]

I just got a really good Christmas bonus and I would like to buy a cute purse. What is the best investment? Something that won't go out of style quickly maybe

 

[leyla m.]

price range?
size?

 

[Jaim45]

Something small and practical (gotta get my use outta it)

Hmmm... under $300 if possible

Rather chic, no?

I think that's absolutely shagtabulous

Rather groovy...very understated...

If all else fails faded plum silk is a girl's best friend...

i would stick with classic items from the big houses...i concur on the wallets, bc no matter what purse you may get in the future, a chic wallet will always shine.

I suppose a purse is like a small bag in US English and like a wallet in UK English?

No, a wallet folds over - a purse has a clasp, zip or popper. It is similar though. The word 'clutch' kind of blurs the line...

yeah I think in North America, we use the word 'purse' for small bags.

Well I'm Canadian/American and I use the word (purse) interchangable with the word handbags. Same thing to me. Purse sounds a bit dowdy though so I usually just say "bag"

 

[Jaim45]

I guess I meant to say handbag

what is your lifestyle? favorite colors to wear? I find that the designer bag that dresses up and down to be universal.

the best investment in my opinion is something you will reach for and everytime you use it you are happy that you got it.

I'm thinking that you should find what bag you tend to eye when walking around, what silhouette... or if you loved a look from someone like audrey hepburn & her lv speedy... that would be a good start...
