Handbags! Money no object

[fuckthemail]

What would you choose? Even if you had the money, would you splash it on a designer handbag? Is it worth it?

Chanel flap in
a bright colour 100% for me .

I have a few designer bags that cost about 3k each and I always pick neutral colours so the Chanel bag would be my dream
bag.

I'd also go Chanel. I have a couple and they're so worth it!

No I wouldn't. I know which brand i would if I did. But I dont want to be flashy. I want to sleep by in life well dressed but anonymous.

Mind you, nobody would recognise The Row. So maybe one of theirs. They are beautiful but anonymous.

I contemplated a 4 figure bag earlier this year but was too worried about being mugged for it or someone lifting it in a bar or restaurant.

Instead I spent £500 on a small APC Grace and I love it and feel like I can actually use it.

I have this is in a khaki green type of colour. It’s good as I can wear it as a shoulder bag or across the body. It goes with lots of my summer, Autumn and winter clothes.

I like that is dull silver hardwear, it feels nice and modern.

Chanel or YSL 😊 always tempted until I look up the price again haha

YSL sac de jour baby, and a Chloe Marcie saddle bag just for good measure!

Depends on what you want to use it for really! I have a bag wardrobe:

Mulberry Alexa in mulberry green for every day
Mulberry Bayswater for work when I don't need my laptop
Longchamp large le pliage for work when i need my laptop - also doubles as a cabin bag and beach bag on holiday
Very Small longchamp leather bag that fits purse, keys, phone, which I tuck inside my work bag when I take my laptop so I have a small bag to take out at lunch time if needs be
Orla kiely waterproof fabric cross body for rainy days where I don't want to take the Alexa bag with me in case the leather gets ruined.
Small le pliage for days out with kids.

No, I wouldn't. My trusty TK Maxx numbers do exactly the same job and still leave me money to eat.
FWIW- I have been to the Mulberry factory at their HQ. They are made on a production line just like most products people buy these days. Not hand stitched by vestal virgins.

If I was to buy a more expensive bag I would choose one by an artisan leather company, eg the one in Greenwich market. Spoke to the actual person who makes them, they told me the source of their leather and the prices are a fraction of designer bags too

Yes I would. But I don't think I go crazy (like 30 Birkins in different colour). Would probably get YSL and Loewe. I don't know where I would wear Chanel bag, but maybe if I was that rich, I would have places to wear it 😆

I'd get a Dior Lady bag. I don't know if they're in or an investment or whatever, but I just love them.

I have one in black, I love swinging it when I walk.

Ooooooooo so jealous 😂

If money were no object, I would pay to have a bag made to my exact specifications. That wouldn't be remotely cheap but at least it would be functional, and I wouldn't be paying for plug ugly trims and logos.

I’d like a bottega pouch or a loewe flamenco. I’ve never been massively into bags and if I had spare cash I’d be more likely to buy jewellery.

Bags are my thing! I've got Chanel, Dior and ysl.

I think in terms of craftsmanship Dior ( lady Dior ) or a Ysl. I don't rate Chanel mic these days as I think the craftsmanship has gone downhill.

Also worth a look are Bvlgari Serpenti bags, the craftsmanship is exquisite.

I've got a couple of Chloe bags, the Marcie and the Pixie and they are lovely quality as well.

I've got one Hermes, it's a garden party ( tote ) and I use it a lot, it's fantastic quality also.

Have fun choosing, I adore getting to choose a new bag!

I'd have a bag made to order, I've seen someone who makes bags from parts of old saddles and bridles, and I'd have my old horse's tack converted into a satchel. Not remotely fashionable but would be lovely for me.

A Hermes Kelly!!!

Mulberry Bayswater in oak. It’s just timeless & ages beautifully.

If money was no object you would get a Mulberry?

Loewe (want the puzzle)
YSL (have the quilted camera bag)
Dior lady
Gucci Marmont

I would get an Hermès Kelly, not a Birkin. I would get it in a bright colour, not playing it safe.

I have a classic Chanel flap but just don’t use it.
My dream is probably vintage Kelly.
