Handbag Recommendations

Wow, that's a generous budget dandylions.

How about the Chanel 2.55 Classic Size? The Clasp is secure and she likes Chanel. Mommies love that!

Or The Chanel Luxury?

It comes with a zip and is medium sized and spacious

Or the Fendi Selleria? It should come with a zip?
Even the YSL Muse, in a Medium or Large? Basic Leather bag with Zip.

I'm looking for a travel tote. I'd love the oversize muse in patent but I already have a med black leather. I also like the chloe paddington tote but have a med paddington. I like the Balenciaga weekender but have a Bal. So I'm looking for something in a tote from a brand I don't already have. But those are some of the styles I like.

Any good travel tote suggestions?

How about the Goyard Croisere? With Zip, good sizes and can personalize.

If you prefer plain leather bag but without a zip, the Fendi Spy is a light and roomy bag.

Or the new LV Suhali Lockit, which has a zip, is roomy, not too heavy since it has less studs than the previous designs and is made of goatskin leather.
;-)

What do you think.... Can a man use Chanel bags.. If so which Chanel bags would suit a man best..? I mean I dress kind of different so I think I could pull of a Chanel bag... But which one would be the best??

I'm about to buy my first "deisgner" bag and I need some suggestions. My price range is $200-$700 and I'd like something classic that I could carry for years to come.

I am also looking for a new purse, much like the above. This isn't my first designer but I am not LOVING anything right now. I have been checking out the Cole Haan G Series as well as the Isobella Fiora and I like those. I want for everyday and out use. I want it to fit my wallet, keys, purse, lipstick and phone. Suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated

 

[Lacroix]

^ I'd suggest a Mulberry Bayswater. I have two, the chocolate in congo leather, and the Darwin & oak with python embellishments which was a little too pricey but I fell in love with it. I find that with these bags, I know I can see myself carrying them in years to come, they're not so much a 'trend' bag, if that makes sense. I just find it to be a clean and classic bag and it goes with most things.

Just want to bump this thread

Which bag do you prefer:

edit: uncredited images.

I'm 5' 2", size 4-5, average build. This will be my first designer bag.

I'm also considering MJ's Blake.

 

[mcross]

I am dying to get a black patent leather bag. Should I get the XL YSL Muse, Mulberry Bayswater in glace or a JC Ramona? I already have a chocolate muse but I do sooo love the style.

To Mjfan:

Hello! I just want to say I considered to buy one of those three bags also! What a coinceidence! I own some marc jacobs bags and they are all quite heavy, so I suggest you go to the store and try Blake on. I haven't checked out those miu miu bags in person (got sidetracked and bought an LV instead), but I really like the suede interior of the Blakes, it is just so luxurious. However, I am not sure if the new blakes still have suede interior... Anyhow, I think the Blake is a pretty good size for your height and build. It is quite roomy and has lots of compartments. Good luck!

To mcross:
I love the YSL muse! It is very, very elegant. I saw some gorgeous Valentino black patent handbags recently.

Hey all!!! This is my first post and I was hoping someone could help me out with a decision I am trying to make. I am about to buy either a Luella or LV. I have a few LVs already and want to try something a little "funkier". However, I keep going back and forth between the Damier Papillon 26 and this Luella (pic from ebay). What do you all think?? (I am a little leary of buying from Ebay but the seller is a my poupette member so I feel a bit better about it.) Any advice??
