But which mulberry wouldn't date?
Bayswater nice but bit meh, would the Evelina hobo in tan date?

BarryBumlove · 23/04/2012 22:27

I've seen a few Marc Jacobs bags that I think wouldn't date (see my link above)

permaquandry · 23/04/2012 22:31

Well I cleaned one loo and washed the floor, then deferred rest til tomorrow and had a 'lil' browse! Hmmm, kwym about the Bayswater and the medium-size is rather heavy.

I really like the Evelina, which size/style and colour?

Not sure if your thing, but LV is still a strong print. In fact, my elipse rucksack looks mint after about 10 yrs and the print is still going strong?

BrandyAlexander · 23/04/2012 22:56

Oooh, love this thread. Dh bought me a Bayswater for Christmas. I am not a massive fan of them so have only used it once. Blush He may have guessed because since then I have bought myself Aspinal Biker as well as Aspinal barbarella and Smythson's Nancy.

I am really lusting after the Aspinal Hepburn or the Balenciaga City Bag (in green).

drywhiteplease · 24/04/2012 07:53

Ooooh novice I love them all!

madammecholet · 24/04/2012 08:01

The bayswater is JUST so heavy to start with, once it's got my gubbins inside it would be like carrying a small child about.. Grin

How do you get on with Smythson noviceoftheday, not bought from there before.

Dammit I can't read this thread properly on my phone whilst supposedly working. Marking my place for this evening.

madammecholet · 24/04/2012 09:14

I know, just wish it wasn't £850. I think I should be a lottery winner as i'd have SUCH great taste when it came to my arm candy!

Oh I m so late coming to this tread but please can I join in -I have a handbag problem .... I adore them ;-)

I really really want
this beauty
But I love Chloe Marcie too

sadly current budget is not going to allow such indulgences (though birthday in december might )

Until then I shall gaze lustly

I have a mulberry tote in oak ,a really beautiful stella mccartney- cant remember the name of it in aubergiene
My current fave is a most excellent Paul smith shoulder bag from 2 years ago!
also loving whistles for on trend bags at the moment I picked up a super satchel in their sale recently.

madammecholet · 24/04/2012 09:35

I love the chloe marcie too, think it's more classic than the Anya tbh whitelillies.. what colour would you be looking drooling at?

I love the green Marcie / Paraty but I'd have to buy an awful lot of new clothes to work it Wink

drywhiteplease · 24/04/2012 14:45

whitelillies it's my birthday in December too, after the disaster surprise handbag pressie (p 1) I am compiling a list for dh.Wink
madamecholet agree about need for lottery win. I am obsessed and knowledgeable about all luxe/designer things......I think I am actually v classy, tasteful bird under the ordinary exterior ....the prob is my budget is not up to my taste!!!!!Grin
I spend hours doing the " if money were no object" game........

Which car? (with chauffeur as I am hopeless driver and would drink champ all day)
Which evening dress?
Which watch?
Which shoes?
Which handbag?( of course!)
Bracelet,earrings or necklace?
Overnight bag?
And my latest is v retro....a vanity case!!!

I have to add;

  1. I am v happy with the life I have
  2. I'm only admitting this to you, my MN friends, and would never say this to anyone in RL(although friends who know me well wouldn't be surprised!)
  3. I am not a snob
  4. If I give you my answers one of you will have them all and I'll feel Sad and Envy and will ask to come round to kiss them (ESP chauffeur!!!)

I have the Raoul in the the Cognac colour. Can't fit my mum purse in it now. So require 'summer purse'. Has a lovely strap length and sits beautifully across the body.

drywhiteplease · 24/04/2012 16:27

how did the DM miss this one?

BlackSwan · 24/04/2012 16:30

Smythson Emily - wow, perfection.

BlackSwan · 24/04/2012 16:31

Marcie doesn't do it for me. I like them when other people wear them, but it's not my ideal.
