Handbag Recommendations

[originalzzb]

I really love the Jimmy Choo Blythe bag, but, unfortunately $1,800 is a little out of my price range... Does anyone know any good alternatives under $500? I'm particularly fond of the boxy shape and the buckle detailing!

very nice.

I am looking into this one too. I heard it has very wonderful leather, but it is very heavy too. I think I need to try it in store.

A balenciaga gsh part time in a dark color (black, anthra) is super fab and rock n roll.

Thanks so much - just saw this! Haven't been on in about a month.
Now, since I know little to nothing about Bal bags,
I typed in "balenciaga gsh part time" into google, and many different bags came up
Is this an example of a gsh part time?

(google images, ioffer image)

With some more internet scouting, I believe that IS a gsh part time. It's pretty nice, though I have noticed some Bal bags have one or two fringes hanging off them (haha excuse my poor terminology), so I was wondering if a bag like this, comes with, um, the fringe?

KatInBoots - that is called Bal Silver Giant Hardware Part Time. Balenciaga Giant Hardware bags don't have tassels but their regular hardware bags do.

I will be going to college soon and will major in fashion design, therefore I need a bag that can fit a few sketchbooks and the likes. Nothing too big. I had the Louis Vuitton Neverfull in MM or GM in mind, but I was wondering are there any other options? Remember, this is purely for school, so it doesn't have to be exactly drop dead gorgeous! I excluded the Gucci Britt tote because I don't really like the material. Anyway, whatever the suggestions may be, I just want to thank you in advance!

maybe a mulberry bayswater?
i don't know the dimensions of that bag though... might be too briefcase-like if you're just entering college though..

not sure of the dimensions on these either but proenza schouler's PS1 is a great bag... youthful and very stylish...

you could also try hayden-harnett... they have some nice totes that are a good size and fit tons of stuff...
i haven't been on their site super recently though so i don't know what the offerings are but the leather they use is great

Aterua:i love this bag too! looks amazing!

I'm looking for a bag like this one
nayebird.blogspot
unfortunately this one's perfect but it costs 2500€, my limit is 1000€.
any suggestions?

Really like it. So simple, too bad I can't afford it.

Help! Maybe someone could suggest a few bags for me? It's been over three years since I've allowed myself a really nice bag (I've since purchased a few M by MJ bags--but those don't really count, you know?) and I've decided that three years is long enough! It's time to fill the desire inside me with something a bit more expensive.

I've been drooling over the/any/all Chanel purses but they're simply too expensive; I'm actually only looking to spend around $1500, give or take a bit. Something classic, preferably leather and black or tan, for everyday use. Any suggestions?

bags suggestion

Hi,

since I started working in Bags i have becoming fetish-obssesed in Campomaggi bags. Maybe because they are really far way from mass designer bags.
My favourite a mens/womens tote. Washed leather vintage look!
