[madammecholet]

OK, following on from 'Bag Recommendations for £900 thread', I took the 'bag by the handles' and started a bag lovers thread. This is not a 'OMG why would you spend that amount on a bag' thread, its purely a lust thread.

We look, we lust, we love, we discuss.

My first offering the new Gucci Lady Tassel in mandarin. Love this...

[BlueberriesAndWine]

Just treated myself to this. I've been hankering after something blue for a while. Great deals on the Outnet and Brandalley today.

It does make more sense in the flesh. The flat bit sits flat against the body when wearing the shoulder strap so it's comfy, plus it's soft slouchy leather. It holds symmetrically, it's just the position of the zips and seams that make it look like that iyswim.

[Karbea]

I don't like that at all, not symmetrical enough for me.

[cardamomginger]

How does it hold its shape when it has stuff in it? And wouldn't it get a bit unbalanced when you're carrying it?

[ThisBitchIsResting]

This is beautiful - Givenchy Pandora in Oxblood w/silver hardware - here

[HolgerDanske]

I only have one properly expensive bag. It's still in the box it came in. I take it out from time to time and stroke it lovingly

[santamarianovella]

I like the smythson totes too,

karbea I stock them in dust bags and put them in a drawer , I don't have loads of bags though, so I can get away with it Without getting them squashed

[Karbea]

Evening ladies,
I've been tidying my wardrobes today. Everything looks neat and organised, but all my bags are lined up at the top. It's not a great place for them to be kept and they are a bit squashed.
Where do you keep yours?

[MarshaBrady]

I love the Smythson for work. Gorgeous colours.

[bettybigballs]

I love the dove grey one, great idea. Adoring this thread!

[cardamomginger]

I saw this today:

www.armani.com/gb/giorgioarmani/top-handle_cod45237075uj.html

Except in a beautiful pale dove grey/mauve. It was divine. Don't know why I can't find a photo of it online. Unless I hallucinated it. Which is possible .

[HolgerDanske]

Ohhhhh both of those are beautiful colours.

Sigh. Wish I could buy a bag right now.

[LinusDKD]

Such a gorgeous colour!

[LinusDKD]

The dove grey

[LinusDKD]

Maybe not one of the colours you specified but I love this.

They also do it in a dove grey which might work depending on your wardrobe.

[bettybigballs]

Oh bag gurus, I need inspiration. I need a work bag, big enough to get a mac air in and an a4 file. I've had a couple of lovely Anya's seeing me through summer. Have a lanvin shoulder for day I don't need lug crap around with. Budget is £800. Could push up a touch for a bag if adore. Don't want black, maybe grey or teal or blue. Any ideas? Not a huge fan of goldware. Thanks!

[BelindaAllWorkedOut]

The Analeena bags sound to be v well made (the descriptions sound great eg exotic skin exterior for durability, calf skin interior for luxury, bag comes w torch), and my Google searches suggest £4K price tags. Ouch. However, I would like one in yellow if anyone is feeling particularly generous, please.

[santamarianovella]

blueberries I used to carry itat the crook of my arm,

belinda those bags are so beautiful, and look well made

I offer you the prettiest bag I've seen lately the lait de coco, if I see someone wearing if on the streets ,I will stop them and demand I take a photo of the bag!

[LinusDKD]

I like those Analeena bags, especially the bright colours. No prices on the website though. We all know what that means.

I wear/wore my Bayswater over the shoulder as I get annoyed quickly with 'in the crook of your arm'.

Was tricky with a thick wintercoat but not impossible.

[BlueberriesAndWine]

Those who have bayswaters, do you carry them over your shoulder or in the crook of your arm? Can't decide which I am more comfortable with, or which looks best I'm used to just firing bags over my shoulder but not sure it looks right

[BelindaAllWorkedOut]

Hopefully these are large enough to see

[BelindaAllWorkedOut]

Oops, sorry

[BelindaAllWorkedOut]

I've just discovered this brand: www.analeena.com/home/the-chancellor/regular-chancellor which looks quite Hermes

[LinusDKD]

I really like the Eric bag boodles, especially in that gorgeous bordeaux.

santa snap! Looks like we both bought the same bag as our first designer bag (bought with our own money)
