Minibags: Which One Should I Get?

[brassai]

I'm looking for a small handbag, something that's smaller than 8"x11", (20 cmx28 cm methinks), my budget is < $700. Something that's classy, simple, & chic and will last through a few seasons and trends. So far I do not like: Fendi mini Chefs, Chanel Ligne Cambon Pochette, no LVs, no Prada nylon hobos, nothing too logo-y. I'm sooo picky

here's a Gucci I sort of like, but not sure about the bamboo chain.

I really like that Gucci bag of your choice. It's very classy and timeless, nothing you could carry no longer than a season.
I'd give it a go if you can afford it

Chanel Ligne Cambon! If I had the money I would definately invest it in a pouchette. Chanel is always classic and I've seen the bags in person and they are definately cute

whoa read that wrong. I thought you said you liked the Fendi mini chefs, Ligne Cambon, and didn't like LV and Gucci. Sorry! I still like the cambon pouchette though...

No problem

 

[ignitioned32]

$700, ay? I think you'll go a long way with that....

Try Rafe, a quite unknown label, but big on NY-ers.
$360 each

Probably a Bottega Veneta? Where you're money will go a long way since it's known for TOP quality.
$480

A J&M Davidson?
$314

 

[ignitioned32]

Chloe?
$570

I like the Gucci you posted....

 

[vintage_princess]

I like the Gucci one you posted, but i dont like the bamboo chain.

 

[matisse]

I this one but it's 800

Art Déco Dior

 

[chocsta]

Love the Bottega Veneta that ignitioned32 posted. I'd get that if I were you

 

[mayim]

-BV, Dior Deco & Chloe. I really don't like the Gucci. I thought that you didn't want a logo? It looks like the kind of bag that is knocked off frequently. I have a bag w/the "g" fabric, but it's a monsterous hobo. I like the tackiness of it, but it doesn't sound like yo are going for a ghetto-fab look.

ohmigod it!!!

 

[brassai]

Thanks so much for everyone's suggestions! I the Bottega Veneta ( now why didn't I think of it first) Now the question is what color White looks so much better than black, but I'll prolly be cleaning it obsessively ( do they give you free leather cleaner at BV?)

I like the Chloe & Deco Dior too but not sure I could carry them off as day bags. Think I'll still keep the Gucci as one of my choices tho' the bamboo strap still looks a bit too kitsch.

I'd like a Chanel pochette, but just not the ligne cambon, the huge CCs are not really my style, to each her/his own I spose.

[Meg]

Saw this, thought of you. I love Jimmy Choo bags. I think they're gorg.

This one is about 970 or 690 I think.

 

[sbbbjm]

u should get one of those dooney and bourke it bags. but, no no, not just the white it bags, opt for the baby pink or blue ones. now thats money well spent!
