* Designer Handbags *

[Tropical Image]

Hey all,

I have come across a new fetish over the last 2 years, Im very into designer handbages... NO FAKES!.. example: Louis Vuitton, Gucci, Fendi, Christian Dior, etc...

Is n e one else into bags??? If so, im in need of some suggestions for summer!

[CarolinaSizzle]

Hmmm not really into it too deeply...my personal favorite Designer for handbags: FOSSIL...but I am more into the expensive yet durable leather stuff....now ask me about shoes and I WILL talk!!

lol... how bout some manolo's or jimmy choo's????

my roommate is a Coach junkie.... she has like 10 coach bags, coach wallets, coach cell-phone case, etc...

I just don't get it. I'm not a big matching purse/wallet/belt kinda gal.

sunglasses, however.... they are my downfall. hehehe

I am a Kate Spade girl! I don't match my belt and wallet... don't have the time; but they are the cutest bags ever!!

you have to see them for the investment that they are. I have a Dooney & Bourke that I have had for 10 years ow and it still looks brand new. I have a Ralph Lauren all leather wallet that still has that great smell and it is 10 years old and new looking too. I will ONLY purchase the highest quality when it comes to these items and they really are workhorses.

My mother is in LOVE with Brighton Collectables...it's those bags with all the hearts...
I bought her a new bag for her Birthday in April...

Designer Items really are worth the investment.... My mother purchased both of us a Gucci Tote last year for 625 each and the bags still look like brand new! Im not a big fan of Kate Spade (too simple and twelve year olds in my area have them) i want a bag with class that really puts out a statement! Louis Vuitton is my all time favorite, but so many people have fakes ( and they think people don't know)!!! UGGG!

12 year olds? Heck!! I've never seen them with a REAL Kate Spade!!! Otherwise they have really really rich parents. Elegant Simplicity is what I say!

O no, they are real, then again alot of 17 year olds get brand new beemers and mercedes around here as soon as they recieve there licenses... if u like kate spade thats awesome (its just not for me, the quality isn't what i look for, and they are a lower end of designer bags)[ This Message was edited by: Tropical Image on 2003-05-07 12:18 ]

Well I'm not much older than 17 (I'm 18); I'll settle for the lower end (if thats what you call it!)

[Tropical Image]

haha... no no... everyone likes what they like...get a Louis Vuitton Pochette its only about 200 dollars! trust me, it'll be ur favorite!

I have just fallen in love with Vera Bradley bags recently. I think her stuff is bright and cheery and they just make me smile!

yea i love coach and their prices are a lot more reasonable than some of the other designers i mentioned... their new spring 2003 bags with the "mini" signature are sooo cute!

Topical image, I am considering purchasing a LV multicolore "mini" off ebay. These are REALLY difficult to get where I am from. What do you think the limit should be for one of these?

[Tropical Image]

hey flora,
sorry I haven't been able to get back to you ( i was shopping in NYC all weekend) ok i love louis vuitton, but honestly I am avoiding buying them anymore because SO MANY fakes are being made, its horrible! I would steer away from buying on EBAY and just wait until u are able to purchase one from the store (are u on the waiting list?) A lot of bags on ebay claim to be authentic and are replicas... And believe me, those who know about designer items can spot a fake.... don't waist ur money on one.... If you would like me to look at the auction for the item and tell u if it looks authentic to me, i would be more than willing to help.... The least ur going to pay for one of the Multicolor Pochettes right now is 699... and they retail for 425 (but like u said are VERY hard to get) Good Luck!
