Ha ha just remembered Blush the 2 vivienne Westwood's, one top handle bag in red and black tartan and the black glitter clutch bag (Christmas do only type of thing!)
I really should start a proper list and have a sort out.
The two I don't own that I am currently lusting after is a classic Chanel lambskin quilt in black and a tan Hermes birkin but costs of those are rising exponetially £2.5k for the chanel now!Envy

warmandwooly · 26/04/2012 00:16

Crazy-look at chic and seek they have a vintage Hermes Kelly and they have a chanel/chanels. Preloved so cheaper (chanel)

I love my v westwoods..

drywhiteplease · 26/04/2012 07:17

It depends on what I'm wearing......I'm a bit fussy about matching....hate brown boots with black bag(as I did yesterday, annoyed me all day, but too lazy to change)....although I don't necessarily do shoe and bag thing, just certain colours bug me.
Used to have a handbag organiser but it got sooooo heavy felt I was carrying bricks!!!
I love this thread puts a smile on my face every day.
Smile
P.s drinking and shopping such fun though!!!!

madammecholet · 26/04/2012 07:47

Morning all fellow handbag addicts...

Which are you wearing today? I've chosen a vintage russell & bromley hobo in tan to match my new tan leather jacket Grin. Teaming with navy converse, jeans & a navy abercrombie T. Love tan and navy together..

I always shop better after a drink drywhite Wink

drywhite yes, this thread is right up my street of wanton lusting!!
you see, for work and child free days, I do like a bag I can carry in the crook of my arm so the zara one fits the bill. Will report back on the leather when it arrives.
Peony and Moore look lovely. Can someone have a look at the clutch bags they do and tell me what you think. Renewing wedding vows in June and absolutely NEED new clutch!
Today I will be using my orla kiely navy stem print oil cloth sling bag. Lots of running around to do.
Also for any radley fans, 30% off most at john Lewis until 29th and you get free postage over £30 spend.

drywhiteplease · 26/04/2012 08:05

My mum bag from Fenn Wright and Manson,Studio at T K Maxx....big,black,squidgy,pockets......to go with work boring outfit

PeriPathetic · 26/04/2012 08:18

I've been wearing a very fetching distressed black leather 'no-name' cross body, circa 1980.

It's my dog-poo bag 'cos there's no way I'm putting dog shit in a Chanel... again.

I hardly go anywhere these days so don't get a chance to wear my good bags. Sad

Chopstheduck · 26/04/2012 08:24

Jeans, top, converse and cross body radley pocket bag in tan. - I could really do with a NICE cross body. But considering the state of my radley one I'm not sure it would be a good idea. I cycle a lot, so use cross body for that.

Im rotating between my coach and dkny atm. I save the really expensive for best, so don't actually use them very much. I am a bugger for trashing them - I bought a beautiful Nica from Debenhams and got glue on it on it's first outing I can't risk the £££ ones.

this thread inspired me to have a sort out and I dug out an ancient Burberry purse I had completely forgotten about. It was pink once upon a time, but now more black! I've scrubbed it and put it on the radiator to dry! The Burberry stores in Europe have some beautiful bags, it's a shame they have such a crap image over here.

bunionscomingsoon · 26/04/2012 09:55

mrsebojones whats your outfit? snake one & silver one look wedding renewal to me... If you get one pls report back as i'm lusting...

drywhiteplease · 26/04/2012 14:56

mrsebjones this is v tempting. Handbags anonymous what do we think? ( instead of Mulberry Effie cross body or the Stan cross body Marcie by Chloe? .....obviously there is a huge price diff.....what is Radley quality like? Glad there is no dog!!)

warmandwooly · 26/04/2012 15:14

Maybe we need a bag charm that signifies our shared passion...I am thinking of something quite cheap though!

drywhiteplease · 26/04/2012 17:19

That would be great....like a secret handshake?Grin then we would have to have a clandestine meeting in the Moët bar!!!!!

Chopstheduck · 26/04/2012 17:21

ooh Moet

warmandwooly · 26/04/2012 17:23

Yup! Off to look now!
Dry white- I sent you a pm the other day!

mrsebojones · 26/04/2012 18:26

bunionscoming... love the metallic one. I declare it a hit! I'm scruffy understated type and am wearing a cream French Connection Knee length dress with all over navy print. Not decided on shoes yet but that bag would definitely work with the dress. Thanks.

drywhite I'm liking some of the Radley bags atm. They seem to have toned down the dogs and other charms etc... The quality is always good.

madammecholet · 26/04/2012 18:42

drywhiteplease · 26/04/2012 19:20

warmandwooly I haven't received one, do try again, I don't get a lot of PMs....how exciting....are you going to offer me a bag?Grin

Chopstheduck · 26/04/2012 19:25

Hmm the initiation! My first would def be a Chloe paddington for everyday use. In several colours of course.

And I want a Chanel 2.55 but I'd want a classic one, like maybe this one here vintage chanel

And then something totally extravagant like a Gucci soho in Python here. I saw one in selfridges and it was totally gorgeous but not very versatile!

drywhiteplease · 26/04/2012 19:27

Would this do?
charm
Would look partic classy on some of crazyaccountant's collection.

Another initiation test :
How long can you stand in Selfridges h b dept without touching one (v tough)

warmandwooly · 26/04/2012 19:29

Dry-Tesco or Aldi bag for life? Wink

drywhiteplease · 26/04/2012 19:29

chop you are going to make mrsch cry showing her that Gucci!

warmandwooly · 26/04/2012 19:32

Dry- I was thinking maybe we should make our own pom pom charm (saves money for bags).

Chopstheduck · 26/04/2012 19:44

Charm is cute, tho I really admire the dedication of wooly's suggestion! Grin

I've got to admit, I'm not a massive fan of selfridges handbag department. I much prefer Harrods. Selfridges has all the individual shops, and it is a bit of a pita, especially at sale time!
