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. Grin

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

Karbea - I pinned those earlier - love them so much

HolgerDanske · 29/08/2014 18:22

Don't get me started on boots and shoes...

MarshaBrady · 29/08/2014 18:23

Oh dear me too. The Celine boots I saw when in store were amazing.

Love those Karbea

Karbea · 29/08/2014 18:27

Ooo I wonder if I follow you guys on pinterest, I did notice a cos jumper that was discussed on a thread here pop up on pinterest too...

ChablisLover · 29/08/2014 18:41

To those with a lv never full do you worry about pick pockets?

Want to buy one but dh says this could be a major issue.

Also have eye on a second anya - already have a maxi zip - with zip and arm and shoulder handles

Can't make up my mind

cardamomginger · 29/08/2014 19:05

Chablis, I get twitchy about that too and try not to go for anything that doesn't have zip closure.

Karbea · 29/08/2014 19:14

I don't have one, but I always have so much rubbish in my bag it takes me a good 10 mins to find my purse or keys, so I doubt a pickpocket would do very well! (Touch wood!!!)

MrsCampbellBlack · 29/08/2014 19:22

Karbea - we are twin souls I feel. I am exactly the same re. my bags

ChablisLover · 29/08/2014 19:32

So the never full is a doubt ( but I love it so and lusted for so long ) so looked at the speedy 35 as it had a zip but I'm not too sure about it.

Think I might stick with the anya( at least it's leather!)

MrsCampbellBlack · 29/08/2014 19:34

I quite like the look of the leather le pliage for shoving all my work crap in this winter.

Poor eldest has to hold my bag in the car as he insists on sitting in the front which is rightfully my handbag's place. He did ask if I loved my bag more than him, luckily I answered no. Of course I don't have the chanel bag yet Wink

Karbea · 29/08/2014 19:48

Umm, but your son will grow up, get married, leave you... Your bag will always stay by your side ;)

MrsCampbellBlack · 29/08/2014 19:49

Yes, and I can dangle my bags in front of dil's as bribes for them to be nice to me Wink

LinusDKD · 29/08/2014 19:51

Lol! I'm nice to my DM for that exact same reason! Wink

MrsCampbellBlack · 29/08/2014 19:57

DD is already coveting my bags and shoes and she's only 5.

AmberNectarine · 29/08/2014 20:08

My DD is 3 and has her own baby Anya.

Her favourite is my silver Alexander Wang Rockie though, she's constantly got her mitts on it.

LinusDKD · 29/08/2014 20:12

DD is 22 months old and loves rifling through my handbag. I do think she prefers the contents cold hard cash as she is always opening my wallet. Grin

DS loves wearing my shoes, especially the heels. Hmm

MarshaBrady · 29/08/2014 20:15

My dc aren't that interested, not sure why. Ds will say is that new oh very nice.

MarshaBrady · 29/08/2014 20:16

They do love a good big box however.

MrsCampbellBlack · 29/08/2014 20:19

DD has the anya ballet bag Blush it was in the sale though. And that must never leave this thread Wink

santamarianovella · 29/08/2014 20:32

Those boots are beyond amazing karbea ,

I have major weakness when it comes to boots and good cashmere , I seriously considered, really considered, even went to the store and tried on and almost left with these givenchy shark boots,

But at almost 1.5k,and considering it gets very wet and snows where we are. I got back to my senses,and bought Chloe jacket,And few other stuff for Aw instead,

Hey on the leather pillage, has anyone on here had one and if I so how do they wear? Love the customised ones you can get on their website!

Karbea · 29/08/2014 20:48

Only ever had material ones, sorry.

I'm going to go through my aw wardrobe next weekend, or maybe Monday and work out what I need. I'm super skint at the mo, but hopefully not for much longer... Won't need a new pair of long black boots as I've a lovely pair of Chanels from a couple of years ago that are fine. I could really do with a short black pair and a long brown pair and maybe some flat boots :/... Oh dear...

santamarianovella · 29/08/2014 20:51

Sorry,got a bit sidetracked. back to bags,

I'm in love with this colour, I like the bag, but love the colour more, I saw it in RL! so beautiful, think its very modern with classic appeal, the antique rose colur is beautiful too,

BelindaAllWorkedOut · 29/08/2014 21:10

Oh Santa, I walked past Matches in Marylebone this evening and saw that bag, and the matching shoes, in the window. It's beautiful.

santamarianovella · 29/08/2014 22:19

belinda I kept admiring the bag for a long time, ,and dh was like :what's so special about the colour? It grey-ish? Shock, the SA gave him a speech, its obviously not just grey its valentino grey, with the most subtle hint of blue,almost powdery,very elegant," she was saying it in a heavy accent and it sounded like poetry to me, but he was not convinced and thought the red one was nicer, he has no appreciation whatsoever Grin
