Thanks for the help! I saw the balenciaga work and the courier. I think maybe the work is a little too big, but the courier seemed great! has anyone got a pic of the day bag? i tried the balenciage thread, but i don't know what i'm looking for!

Hi Everyone,
I’m looking to invest in a white bag for this spring/summer season. There are so many to choose from. I would like it to be an investment piece and classic.

VeroniqueCouture, could you tell us what your budget is?

If only I could afford it, this gorgeous creation would end up with me (read about this on the Purse Forum

Mammab, janyoung99 or anyone else - could you please let me know what colour the F Biasia bag appears on your computer ? Looks like yellow to me but the wording says "apple green".

Also, has anyone here bought stuff off orangeme.com? Thanks in advance.

It looks yellow on my screen too. I've never bought from orangeme before. Love the F Biasa bags but they're all so small.

I just noticed that the Elliot Lucca bag is only available in the white multi... it's available in black on nordstroms.com... but if you have a Lord and Taylor near you, that's where I bought mine... and they had yellow last time I checked at the Lord and Taylor in manhattan

I'm 16 years old, and would absolutley LOVE to have a Balenciaga, but no way will I ever be allowed to have a bag that expensive! I'm worried about getting a fake, yet thinking about getting one from LushFashions..either in Blue, Purple, White, or Black maybe? Also probably getting a white Melie Bianco bag (littleblossom.com).

I like the slouchy look..love Nicole Richie/LL/Mk & A style...so if you have any reccomendations for bags like a Balenciaga or along those lines I would really appreciate it!!

Hi Luna, that pretty bag of yours is also available in yellow here:

http://www.bagshop.com/store/mcart.php?ID=3414

ShuggasStiletto, have you checked out the thread on "Lush, ioffer" on here - the ladies (and gents) there should be able to help answer your question.

Is this considered the 'white multi'?? It's so pretty..

 

[passerby]

Handbaglover, I do believe Luna has - and loves - this very bag

Is cream/buttercream considered as pale yellow?

Janyoung99 and mammab, how about these bags from the Rachel Nasvik collection?

What are things to keep in mind when choosing an appropriate handbag to wear to a wedding ceremony/reception?

Laboheme, I am still browsing a few sites to search for a similar-looking leather bag but would like to say that that UO bag is lovely.

Can you help me find the perfect white bag?

I'm looking for a white bag for summer. I was considering the Lizzie bag by Hogan, but am now favoring the Pocket Swing by Miu Miu. These are both the size and price range I'm looking at...any other suggestions? Looking for something relatively classic looking, no huge logos, and slouchy, roomy for every day.

 

[Chloe-Babe]

Oooh, probably more expensive than some you have been looking at, but this came on line today, and the white suits this bag soooo well

Have you also thought about the MJ stam bag in white patent, oooh lovely

its a slightly creamier colour, but very nice for summer and right through.

(pictures browns focus and my own stam bag)
