Hello , no I haven't just woken up!!!!

Well seems I have some catching up to do.......perry I have come over all funny at the mention of your extraordinary handbag collection. !!!!a lot of my fav there. Ever fancy donationg to my "need treatment for post traumatic stress disorder caused by hideous hamdbag gift" fund, then one of those would do nicely.Grin

Right mmecholet my VW is none of those. Defo kosher as I took it back to the flagship store off Regent st but baffled as to why I can't get you a photo.will keep looking.

warmandwooly · 23/04/2012 16:57

Ladies-Mulberry and V Westwood on the TK Maxx site. 'Nuff said!

warmandwooly · 23/04/2012 17:01

Chopstheduck- I am sure there is now a Coach flagship store in London now....

drywhiteplease · 23/04/2012 17:35

My fingers have never moved so quickly!!!!!

warmandwooly · 23/04/2012 17:38

Ooh which one do you like dry white?

drywhiteplease · 23/04/2012 18:12

Hmmmm
If I worked in an office I'd go for the Mulberry.
The tartan VW is a lot like mine.

I'd actually get this
dolce and gabanna
Think it is a classic and really quite gorgeous

Chopstheduck · 23/04/2012 18:21

There is a Coach store in Westfield irrc, only two in the UK (both London) and im pretty sure they don't sell online here neither. There is an outlet in Bicester village too, but it is very expensive compared to the US - prices in the outlet are similar to retail in America.

Didn't know TK Maxx did high end bags!

warmandwooly · 23/04/2012 18:34

I've had a coach purse from TK Maxx for a fiver(leather as well) as well as a keyring/purse thing and leather pouch..

PeriPathetic · 23/04/2012 18:38

Ahhh, fellow bagaholics!

My current count is 15 (I think) and I have a penchant for brands beginning with the letter C.

But I'm currently lusting after exotics, preferable ostrich in pale blue like this Prada

permaquandry · 23/04/2012 20:02

Well, I don't know what's happened to me but I have 'gone off' bags!!! I have;

3 Guccis
3 Louis Vuittons (with matching purse + toiletry bag)
2 Pradas
Mulberry satchel (wmp)
Pied a Terre satchel/type thing (wmp)
Whistles snakeskin 'floppy bag'
Christian Dior small saddle bag
Bruno Magli eve bag
Herve Chapelier nylon bag

Plus a Moschino and a Mulberry weekend bag.

They were all bought over the last 15 years and I have got to the point where I leave bag at home as much as I can and stuff pockets with the essentials. I don't particularly like any of them and most of them look tired and 'dated' really.

Would like a small, black, Mulberry Antony (wmp), however, with the above collection having become 'old hat' I wonder if it's a waste of money? (winces as she gets booted off this thread)

anniewoo · 23/04/2012 20:11

My 'Lottery' bags would be 2 Chanel 2.5 's - one in lambskin and one in calfskin. For everyday and 'good'. And maybe adifferent style Chanel. Well I have won the Lottery- Wink in my dreams

anniewoo · 23/04/2012 20:13

Oh petitdonkey you lucky thing Envy my husband wouldn't know a 2.5 if it hit him iin the eye. Though his mum has one.Envy

madammecholet · 23/04/2012 21:07

nice list perma... Maybe you just need to sell a few off and invest in some other brands to reignite your bag 'fire' so to speak...?

anniewoo I love the Chanel jumbo classic flap (awful name), <a class="break-all" href="http://www.google.co.uk/imgres?hl=en&sa=X&rlz=1C1DSGP_enGB465GB465&biw=1600&bih=732&tbm=isch&prmd=imvns&tbnid=OufDuWaK1mBItM:&imgrefurl=www.starstyleinc.com/chanel-jumbo-classic-flap-bag-sp11495-full.html&docid=_IVRwgUfniw3dM&imgurl=www.starstyleinc.com/chanel-jumbo-classic-flap-bag-pic11495.jpg&w=300&h=300&ei=UbaVT6O2CcTF8gOys6WOCg&zoom=1&iact=rc&dur=568&sig=101657761933166904623&page=1&tbnh=121&tbnw=121&start=0&ndsp=38&ved=1t:429,r:0,s:0,i:67&tx=44&ty=49" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">here
would also be my lottery win.

Not to everyones taste, but I love this bag Smile

drywhiteplease · 23/04/2012 21:25

permaquandry this is my prob.....if I were to hint unsubtly about an expensive bag it would have to be a bag that does not date but which one? " it" bags are only "it" until the next one comes along!!!!

peri good god, now you know I "need" a blue bag, that is gorgeous!!!!!!!!!

And had to leave thread by poster who "just doesn't get" bags....in fact it drove me to booze!!!!!

permaquandry · 23/04/2012 21:25

U are probably right madame. I should add that designer bags have doubled or even tripled in price since I started my collection. On my maiden voyage purchase the 'it' bag was a Gucci Jackie in canvas print (£400) or the LV Speedy '200' (think it was £290).

Mulberry bags are actually quite reasonably priced when compared to others and are very well made (I wouldn't buy a G or a P again, which is just as well as I can't afford them.....!)

See, the desire must still be there......I think I'm in denial due to lack of disposable cash! Enjoy your browsing and do let us know if you buy anything Grin

permaquandry · 23/04/2012 21:33

drywhite it's v difficult to buy a classic but stylish bag, unless it's a (an?) Hermes? Still think a Mulberry would be your best hint bet, couldn't really go wrong in there, just tell him mention casually to stay away from spring colours (stick with tan or black).

A soon as I start thinking about my perfect bag, I need want matching purse and one in every colour.........it's probably best I go finish off the housework......

BarryBumlove · 23/04/2012 21:42

I recently bought a gorgeous Miu Miu from this site

drywhiteplease · 23/04/2012 21:55

perma too late for housework......need to relax and look at bags with us.
