Your Handbag Collection

[intrigue]

Houston, looks like we have similar taste and I love your B bags. I use my two LV's for travel though since they are so big. Here's my collection:

LV Cabas Alto (discontinued, it's the biggest one of all the Cabas), LV Keepall, Red Balenciag Hobo, Red Balenciaga Weekender, Pewter Balenciaga Work, Bubblegum Pink Balenciaga Work, White Marc Jacobs Stella (original one), Oak Mulberry Roxanne, Black Balenciaga Work (can you tell I love this style) and Bubblegum Pink Balenciaga Hobo.

I LOOOVE that red color balenciaga! what season is it from? I've been looking for the perfect red bag, hoping for a balenciaga. i was in love w/ MJ's pomegrenate color which is no longer made

 

[LilyGirl]

it's current, get it now

 

[janissa]

LOL... i don't carry fake bags. Nothing wrong for all those that do. For me, it's ALL or none. Once ppl see you with 1 fake bag, they will think all your bags are fake. lol

 

[iluvfashion]

I don't work in the fashion field though I could make a great career out of it. I am a single mother and I work full time. These are my stats

And according to my colleagues and friends I spend way too much money on shoes and handbags and clothes....*sigh*B)

I don't think I could list all my handbags now. Let's say I have about 20-25 premium designer handbags. Oh, actually I just ordered the Paddington yesterday.
My favorite one is definitely Gucci Jackie O.
LV, I only buy from the vernis collection. Others don't appeal to me. I have a few Chanel, Fendi, a couple Etro/YSL/Dior Street chic/saddle, one Prada, Balenciaga Le Dix. One Botkier and the list goes on...

 

[iluvfashion]

Oh..I hate fakes too. There was a time where I could not afford anything authentic and I still would not touch a fake one.


An authentic Nine West bag is better than a fake Gucci

 

[Velvetini]

WOW I am just awed by the bags you all have ladies and I'd say, having read this thread from the beginning, that Louis Vuitton is by far the most popular.

My bags..

1970s Gucci black with red strap, hard like a leather box..imagine a small circle and then flatten off the bottom edge.. double GG on the top side of the press stud fastening.. gold Gucci crest inside..

1970s Etienne Aigner very slimline burgundy leather but totally impractical cos the shoulder strap is way too short and it's a bit big for a clutch My father bought it for my mother in Paris but she didn't get along with it, so she gave it to me lol..

2004 French Connection mens' sand corduroy messenger bag with a zillion pockets inside and out which I have covered in pins..my most useful bag

1980s Barbour sand canvas and leather fishing bag (yup really, it came with a detachable waterproof lining for the fish) which I bought cos it is huge and I used it for college. has big falpover and two front pockets. Very grubby now but still useful for when I trundle round boot fairs looking for books

1990s ? Charles Jourdan milk chocolate suede/leather clutch (but with strap) ..suede on front, leather on back with pouch pocket. Unusual shape..kinda Art Deco..

1990s ? Coach tan leather sack bag.. everyday workhorse..gorgeous colour..

1990s ? Longchamps black leather bag.. I'd describe it as a zip top sack bag.. in the most beautifully soft leather.. have been known to sit hugging it on the train (ahem).. has zipped pocket and organiser pockets inside..my favourite..

1990s The Bridge.. dark brown with reddish tint..like mahogany wood.. very bumpy surface, quite hard and boxy.. but another workhorse, given to me by my mother

2005 Globe Theatre, London nylon black duffel with red Shakesperian swearing on it my gym bag

1980s All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club Wimbledon logo off-white tote I bought there and use for carrying books

1980s Liberty (the London dept store) hessian tote with purple print on of an elephant, with India printed underneath...another book bag

2000 Nike big black nylon cordura sports bag.. my weekend away bag.. huge workhorse, sooo useful

2005 Lulu Guinness Killer Shoes change purse ..verrry cute.. I love it.. so does my mother but she is not having it..

plus 5 no-name brown leather shoulder bags of various sizes and shapes


I rather like the look of the Bottega Veneta bags I have seen and I like my Longchamps so I would consider another of those

Black suede J. Crew clutch
