What do YOU look for in a bag?

[kukai]

if the bag is screaming for my name it is a definite purchase.
criteria: bold, bright and wonderful big bags...

off topic: the fendi in the pic...does the canvas/fabric get dirty easily?

Longevity, mainly, both in quality and design. I can't buy an expensive bag on a whim. Anything loud repulses me, too. Past that, it's mainly just an instinctual reaction of "yes" and "no."

I like the way you put it.

I need something BIG, roomy, well thoughtout (Not one zip pocket, what the fcuk am I supposed to do w/ that?) leather, in a nice color. OH a good design doesn't hurt either.

It depends, really. If it's a bag for work, it must be black, made of canvas or some washable material), roomy and boring.

If it's for life in general ANYTHING. Though I have to admit sometimes I'm stupid enough to let the brand name take part in my decision, e.g. I love Chanel handbags etc.

affordable first, status next.

i have a lot of black and grey in my wardrobe, so i tend to like bags with color, but nothing too loud. it also has to be understated, while i have a couple LV, i prefer Balenciaga or Mulberry, or something else that will attract "nice bag" comments instead of "how much?"

also, my friend and i were shopping the other day, when at somepoint me putting my name down on the waitlist for a sea green bbag came up. "What a waste of money" to which i responded "everything you just charged is equally a waste". His response: "no, i have an event planned out for each outfit i bought!". My thoughts: everyday should be lived as an event, we cant wear the same outfit everyday but we sure can carry the same bag, thus justifying the thousands we put into them

It has to have the "have to have it" factor about it.... If I see it... and want it... it has a 50/50 shot of being bought... if the inside organization is there... the chances drop dramatically.
