I looove it. And yes, I am an acessories whore. I got this bag from Brighton a couple of years ago for my birthday (only mine is all black). It is really well made and looks as good as the day I bought it. Recently I've had my eye on a bag from Kooba for summer. I even passed it on sale at Neiman Marcus and didn't buy it. :distress:

....and this thread just opens up one of those great mysteries to me - why do women carry around so much stuff:shrug:?? I just don't understand.

I leave the house with my keys, wallet, mobile and chewing gum - why do you need anything else with you?:laugh:

BTW - the bag looks very nice Maria.

You might as well ask why the sun still rises. It's just part of their genetic makeup I think.s

I agree though...keys, wallet, phone...out the door.

It is a part of our genetic makeup! My bag has the usual - my wallet, keys, phone, iPod... but then I have lotion, 3 bottles of perfume, sunglasses, a small photo album of my girls, my hairbrush, cigarettes, "feminine needs" and lip gloss. Not a whole lot. But, I still have lots of room in my new bag for the kitchen sink! :laugh:

[BTFLCHLD]

why do women carry around so much stuff:shrug:?? I just don't understand. so we can provide for a boyz need for a toothpick, kleenex, chapstick, visine...and on occassion we carry your dumbass wallet when you want your ass to look especially HOT. :angel:

[gldstwmn]

Those are both beautiful bags Chris! WOW.. you passed one up that was on SALE??? :confused::lol:

Even on sale, it was still close to $400. So I thought about it and went back the next day and it was gone. Sniff. :(

[gldstwmn]

I love them both! Why did you pass the one on sale up? I guess I have no will power.:laugh:

I was having one of my rare conservative moments. I went back the next day and was gone. :( I hate it when that happens.

Ugh. That sucks so bad. $400 on sale?! Wow! That's an expensive one!!!

Okay, I have a small Victoria's Secret Heavenly, Incanto Shine, and (don't laugh, it was a gift from Samantha for Christmas) Britney Spears Midnight Fantasy... and it actually smells pretty good.
super, super cute~ i am a louis vuitton whore big time & then i always have to get the wallets & belts to match them:p~
OOHHHH.... I so want the wallet to match my purse, but it's close to $200, and I really just can't afford it.

This is the bag I bought Samantha (step daughter) for her birthday, and then I got her the wallet to match for Christmas. She's absolutely in love with hers too!

[sara1998]

Me either Maria.. LOLOL:laugh:

None. What-so-ever. Zip. It's awful!:shocked:

[darklinensuit]

a bag whore?


Well, this got my attention even if the bags themselves didn't.
What exactly do you do for the bags? (At least you're not doing it for crack, right?) :angel::lol:

[Steviefan49]

None. What-so-ever. Zip. It's awful!:shocked:

I can SOOO relate. I know when I always am out shopping, and happen to see a really pretty bag, especially one that I've wanted, and I see it on sale.. it's ON! LOL.. I sometimes do the "rob peter to pay paul" deal- and put it on a card I have some room, even tho I didn't want to use it.. :rolleyes:

Coach is good stuff. I used to be quite fond of their shoes.

[Sarah]

I carry the Ameribag Healthy Back Bag, medium, in cognac leather. I've had the microfiber Ameribags before, but they always get so dirty for some reason.

I love this bag and will never use anything else. Seriously. I use it for work and personal... there is a proper place for everything, and I tend to carry a lot of stuff.

I'll have you know I never carry much in my handbag!

OOHHHH.... I so want the wallet to match my purse, but it's close to $200, and I really just can't afford it.


that victoria's secret fragrance is fabulously sexy, i have some too, have you smelled their chocolate lotion?, delish:p~

& i have to give the hubby the credit for any accessories i might have to match my bags & my bags too for that matter~ he has done really well on online poker over the past 2 years, we put most in savings, but he gives me & my son some to spend & if it's not on something stevie, it's a designer bag, wallet or something like that~ the louis vuitton store in aspen is great, we don't have shop here where i live, so they fed ex me overnight whatever i have purchased~ i have to say tho, i am too chicken to put a pen in my bag, i know that sounds crazy, but when i was bored 1 night & flipping thru ebay actually looking at all the fake bags people were trying to scam people on, i saw alot of bags put up for sale because the person had an ink pen in their bag & it exploded~

i really just started getting into bags about 3 years ago, i am the girl who usually carried a hobo type bag, usually denim of some sort, w/ patches sewn all over it, very hippi-ish~ but i have to admit, i have fallen in love w/ bags & i am am seriously addicted~ that & shoes:o~

& as niki stated, my hubby too thinks my bags are for his stuff like sunglasses & wallet~

[sasja]

Either a tiny backpack or a hobo type bag I sew from leftover scraps.

I "waste" my money on bone china.... nooo willpower there :(

I have never been too crazy over handbags. I would never pay over $50 for one (and that's really pushing it). Now, shoes I can relate to. ;) Handbags, not so much.

[Chrislit18]

I LOVE handbags.
I bought my first Coach in NYC [in Macys THANKS] in the 8th grade. it was one of the more higher end ones [a leather one, it was like....350. something like that], and i saved up for the thing myself.
I bought another Coach at macys that was a lot less, and i got a coach for my birthday for 2 consecutive years.
I like Coach the most.
I also have a Dooney and Bourke, and i paid for it myself.

of most of my expensive purses ive paid for myself. i am capable of saving money. lately though, i havent had any, ive been buying CDs and music cards left and right. which is fine, as i dont need 50 handbags.

I also have a shoe fetish of my own.
I have Ugg boots. theyre not the tacky ones though, they are the classier ones.
a pair of coach leather boots. and not to mention the two pairs of dress heels, the sneakers, and the ballet flats.
And i like to buy leather boots whenever. I have a pair of Michael Korrs. <33 very Stevie. [Its horrible though, im 5'10, already taller than most of the guys in my school, and then add the 5 inch heels. Not pretty. lmao]

And I buy a new silk dress every 6 months or so [for Homecoming and Spring Fling at school]. So i do have to admit, that I am fortunate, and well off. And i have my high end fashion fetishes.
We were talking about Dior in french class today. I was getting excited just thinking about his amazing stuff!!

my guy friends all laugh at me though. they think im crazy that my bags are so big. then i have a friend who [thankfully doesnt do this anymore], made fun of my boot-wear. he still gets on my nerves about other stuff [he just likes to get me upset. i think its his way of flirting, but you never know :shrug: :lol: ], but no more clothes criticizing.

But back to handbags.
I would kill to get a Prada someday. or a Burberry. Coach will always be my favourite though. And as for shoes: Leboutions are on my agenda for the future. Right now though, I'm happy with what I have.

Oh and by the way?
Best.Thread.Ever.
:D
I've loved bags since i was like...7. lol.

....so let me get this straight.....you need to carry around THREE bottles of perfume.......and in the middle of Winter you need to carry Sunglasses....:laugh:.....it's crazy.....


so we can provide for a boyz need for a toothpick, kleenex, chapstick, visine...and on occassion we carry your dumbass wallet when you want your ass to look especially HOT.

:D......are we so shallow:laugh: - a rhetorical question!

Christian Louboutin is the man for the platforms. Love the red sole too.
You can get Prada on Bluefly.com for a lot less and at least with Bluefly, you know it's real.

Cute bag Michelle! I love it! And I've had my eye on the Coach bag for 3 weeks now... ever since they put it out on the floor. It'll be my spring and summer bag. I'm screwed in the fall.... looks like I'll have to splurge again!! haha!

Uh, I could arrange them and then snap a shot, but it would be a bag and tote volcano pile...like the Devil's Tower in Close Encounters :laugh:

[gretchen]

holy excess.

C'mon, a nice classic bag just sets everything off right, your whole presence sings when you breeze into the office or to lunch or wherever, y'know. I'm not saying having the best bag is everything...but I love them. I also have $20.00 bags from funky stores in the city. I love going to the North side of Chi and going to little hole in the wall places.

[SuzeQuze]

I love Coach and I have a small black purse and a small camel wallet. I like that they don't "match" exactly. I also have a pretty pink plaid Coach but the damn thing got stained. I also have a lavendar pill box and a metallic teal wristlet. I do not have a lot of purses though. I like having a couple of good ones instead of a whole slew of cheapos. Right now I am not allowed near a Coach store or any stores that carry Coach, lol.

Coach is definitely my favorite. I just got a 25% off card, and I just might go and get that wallet.... I shouldn't allow myself to be near a Coach store either!

Well I'm in the process of buying a condo so I'm watching every penny. I got one of those coupons before Christmas and did not use it. I still can't believe that!

I forgot I also have a black key fob. They had them on clearance for $7 at the outlet.
