Zara #4

[advo]

hm, one designer bag costs at least a thousand euros, so you would have to buy at least ten zara bags per year ... I never like ten bags in a year, not even designer bags.

Not if your designer bag lasts more than a year. If it last 5 years, it's only equivalent to 2 Zara bags per year. If it last 10 years, it's equivalent to buying one Zara bag per year.

The thing about designer, is that it has longevity - beyond that it's usually better made than some high street items. Well, unless it's really trendy or you change your mind - but, then you could also try to resell it and probably get a higher percentage of the original price than with a Zara bag. Another issue, is like with me and others, the high street item does simply not satisfy our craving and eventually we'll buy the designer anyway - after maybe 5 high street ones...

That's true. I think it's the idea of paying all of that at once that scares one (me) off. Buying high street bags, it's similar to making a split payment making it not seem as much money when it ends up being a lot.

I think I buy around 8 bags a year usually between the price range of 60-160 euro.

Wow, the bag is even more beautiful 'in real'. Thank you for the pic, Grasshopper!

Got it yesterday! Very happy with the leather and everything.

Wow... I like the bag you chose, so nice!

Exactly. That's why I stopped buying high street bags - still buy clothes and shoes though. It is scary to pay so much money up front, but I like classic designs anyway so as long as I take good care of the bag - it should last a while. On the other hand, for some reason I lose interest in a lot of my high street bags after purchasing them. With that said, I do think it's totally possible to find high street bags that you just totally love for years as well. The problem is distinguishing between when it's a fleeting infatuation for a cute bag and one that you'll just love more for each use .

i think the bag looks classic enough that you'll keep using it throughout the years until it wears down.

its as in as it will ever be out.

actually it looks more expensive than it looks.

¿?¿?

 

[saann]

I think she meant to say that it looks more expensive than it is?

 

[advo]

^LOL, I think so too.

Well. I've decided to keep the bag because I accidently lost my visa and Zara has this ridiculous policy of only accepting returns with the card you purchased with...

 

[saann]

If that isn't a sign then I don't know what is

It's a really nice-looking bag and I don't think you'll get bored of it anytime soon so good buy. Was it available in more colors than nude?

 

[advo]

^I know right?

I only saw it in the nude, but I didn't really browse the store as I was in a hurry. It does exist in the orange-red colour on the website (of the Danish online store) so you could order it to the store. It's free and you can always change your mind.

I don't know if I should buy anymore bags

I did see other bags of theirs in orange and the shade looked very nice. It was very bright and fire-y if I remember it correctly.

 

[advo]

I think the colour looks nice (on pics) however, my concern is that it's a very "trendy" colour for my taste. I think, I would probably get tired of the colour after a while.

On the other hand, I saw this really bright yellow clutch - I think this was it:

And it looked really, really cool. But... I couldn't reach it so I wasn't meant to have it . It was this pic which started my craving for a bright-coloured clutch - especially, the yellow clutch.

Blue is in fashion this year

yeah. i knew that sentence looked really awkward. or should i say it looked more awkward than it looks...

 

[two months off]

Today I got a couple of things to cheer me up, and although I was looking for shoes and bags I ended up getting other things. I also got a black and white polka dot tee but I couldn't find the pic...I really like all my purchases and can't wait to wear them.
