What handbags will be big in AW/05?

I don't know what's the buzz about Chole bags. While the bags look good it in picture, they feel/look pathetic in person. The leather is not that soft and supple and the shape looks awkward.

^i disagree... i have 4 chloe bags, 3 which are leather, and 1 which is fabric/metal bracelet bag, and i think the leather ones feel amazing!

the softest leather i have ever felt in my life is my small cream lambskin bag from them (a few seasons ago), with flower and balls appliques. it is seriously like butter.

the other 2 are from last season, and they feel wonderful too... very soft, but you can tell they are tough and durable at the same time. more substantial than the balenciaga le dix for example, which i think is made of thinner (distressed) leather. in comparison to my other bags, i think it is softer than YSL, Marc Jacobs and Mulberry... but not as (or maybe equally) soft as my Givenchy pumpkin.
 
I have a large Chloe bracelet bag and the leather on that is lovely and thick. Its made from calfskin and its very supple. Not sure about the quality of other Chloe bags though.

I was just with my friend who works as a stylist with Elle. The paddington is definitely not the 4th bag from the left. The paddington is shorter, wider and has a huge lock in front.

OK Taitai...so do you know or your friend from Elle know the name of that bag 4th along in the top row of that link??? I particularly like this bag over the Paddington then. I think it's just divine and much nicer than the Paddington. I could not imagine carrying something like that around with a big padlock ! I may as well go and get one at the hardware store instead !! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Umm...I don't know about the bracelet bags but I was at Neiman today and played around with the silverados and the one with funny padlock on the side and the leather just felt ok. Compared to the BV woven hobo, Fendi sellaria, and Mulberry Roxy, the Chloe bag felt kinda hard...I don't konw...maybe that's the way it supposed to feel.

Foxie-Pooh, which Silverado did you see at Neiman? I find the python Silverado to be much nicer than the regular leather Silverado which can easily get scratched (and the scratches are very obvious!) I have my name down for the dark brown OR pink medium python silverado, although I heard they are coming out with blue so I might change my mind later on. I was planning to get the aqua but saw a few more pictures and realized, the other colors are nicer.

I bought a light blue Mulberry Roxy right before Xmas and the grainy leather is really good! I would compare the quality to the Luella larged-grained leathers.
 
:shock: omg how much is the chloe paddington and what colors does it come in?!

I agree, the leather on other Chloe bags (apart from the bracelet bags) are not that great.
 
I think the Gucci Flora will be a big trend, at least here in Italy; the new Prada bags with flowers will be a trend, too :P
 
^ so I take it you predict flowers are going to be all over canvas and leather :smile:

what is the most classy Louis Vuitton bag... i was thinking about getting this one...:blush:
I:heart: :heart: :heart: :heart:
Is this bag available now..I have to have this one.That is class all the way:woot:
 
I think Bottega Veneta is going to blow up huge. With Gucci becoming boring and granny-ish and logos slowly getting more and more tired, BV is in the perfect position to take over Gucci's spot for lux bags.

I've seen the s/s 05 runaway collections, and yes, I can say flowers will be a big trend, but not the only one :P

here's another shot of the paddington... i would call chloe NYC boutique for info
 
regarding the gucci bags, actually the spring/summer bags are pretty crazy... not at all grannyish or logo-ed out, but they look like they're hella bank... so might be out of reach for most people (looks like stuff they would charge 4k USD for... but then have stuff that does have logos that are toned down, cheaper version)
as for the chloe paddington, do you guys think it's worth getting? will it really get that big? i like that huge padlock, but then again i suppose you could put a huge padlock on anyhthing
 
:cry: im sooo lost can someone just dictate what will be cool so i can go and buy :cry: im having a breakdown
