How about straw or rattan handbags?

I relly like the Parcel bags! No rattan or straw - I'm worried about wear and tear, etc.

Hobo Colbert - more pricey but it can be used as an everyday bag as well as during the weekend - I think it looks great. Your opinion please?

I love the Botkier Sloane Bag. Unfortunately it's not available for purchase anywhere anymore.

Could anyone recommend a similiar bag, please?

Thank you so much. :]

All right gals,
Since I am totally in love with my jumbo Chanel 2.55 reissue in gray, I really don't see a need to hang onto my medium Chanel 2.55 reissue in gray (feels like overkill). So suggestions? What should I return/replace it with? I'd definitely like another Chanel.

 

[jun3machina]

greendrv, if you must get rid of it, how about the new chanel luxury line??? i really like the large logo one in black!

here's pics of the one i like from the celebrity handbag thread

i know its very similar to the reissue, but what about getting the regular 2.55 in navy..?
i saw it at the store and fell in love...
its so unique + quirky + cute + elegant all at the same time...

Love the red! The Hobo bags are really nice too!

I work 2 blocks away from Century 21 in NYC and was there yesterday and saw some really nice Biasia and Carla Mancini bags for around $150. I may go back tomorrow and pick one up. I also scored a mismarked Coach bag at Saks today - It was marked on-sale for $79, normally $198. It wasn't really on sale, but they gave it to me for $79, final sale. Boring, but I couldn't pass it up for the price!

Vicki, good luck with your bag shopping.

Drusilla, this Whiting & Davis bag isn't leather but I think it's gorgeous:

I'm not the biggest fan of the Luxury line, so I probably wouldn't go there if I were you (I'm generally not a fan of anything with huge CC logos) but a classic navy bag sounds good, or how about a black patent bag? Do you have any other Chanel bags? If not I'd recommend a classic caviar bag, they don't scratch as easy as lambskin. I have a crush on a white caviar bag, but I'm afraid it'll be hell to maintain. Or what about a little red bag to spice up any outfit?

Does anyone have any suggestions for a nice red patent bag? Preferably a small clutch?
I have a stupid family event in May that I'm being forced to go to, and I'm putting together two outfits so that I'll have something to chose from on the day, depending on my mood. The first outfit is a d&g dress with lots of colors (it's got red and pink and probably yellow and whatnot, I can't remember exactly right now) that I'm going to pair with a pair of lilac/light pink Louboutins, and I have no idea what bag to carry yet. The back up outfit is a black pencil dress with a red patent corset belt, which I'll wear with black CL pumps and that I'm looking for a little red patent bag for. When I wrote the post above I realized that I could get a red classic Chanel bag, but then I'll have to get another belt. Sorry about the rambling, I'll shut up now

In addition to the above post, I'm also looking for a nice bright red bag...although I'd like mine to be larger, somewhat like the one Kate Moss has in her most recent candids...any suggestions (I've tried Nordstrom, Zappos, Delias, LaRedoute, Urban, Forever21, Target, FredFlare, and Ebay)

The cheaper the better! Thanks!

 

[chanel-amor]

ladies, i need your help i am looking for a work bag. it has to be big enough to hold A4 size files. most importantly it has to be sturdy and can take a lot of abuse, something that can last me a long time. dark colored and not so expensive (around $1000) so i need not fret about getting it dirty.

thanks in advance

 

[jun3machina]

Keya~ what about a patent marc jacobs bag??? he has some VERY nice ones in red

chanel-amor~ i'd check out coach, as their hamptons collection has some very nice work bags, and they're simple and chic if you get them in plain leather. they last a very long time
