I used to be totally obsessed with Handbags - big style. My love affair first started 22 years ago with my first Gucci and then I went from Louis Vuitton to Fendi, Balenciaga to Chloe, Celine to Marc Jacobs and back again. Most of these bags have been sold on ebay, as once they get grubby or tatty, I have got rid of them, some of them have been nicked by my daughters, but for the most part, the money made from selling them on, has gone towards other things, although I do regret getting rid of some of them.
About a year or so ago, I noticed the YSL Muse. I quite liked it, but felt as though I had fallen out of love with bags a bit and after once having had a Fendi B, I felt that I couldn't stick the hassle of having a bag with a flap front and clasp again. Nothing was really grabbing me. For Xmas, I opted for the LV Neverfull, as felt it was good daytime bag, due to its size, but it wasn't real love, like when I wanted the Celine Boogie or Marc J Stam, or my continued lust for a 2.55, until I saw this, bugger the fact it has a clasp and flap front, I heart this version of the YSL Muse and am in love with bags again.....
only problem is, it costs the same as a Chanel ........
I love bags too.....I don't have that many designer ones but the ones I do have I don't think I could ever part with.My favourite is a soft squidgy Chloe one but the zip broke recently. Great! As though I can afford another one. Not sure where to get it fixed. I'd rather spend my money on a bag than shoes though.
ReplyDeleteThat bag is stunning. :0)
I haven't gotten into designer bags. I'm afraid to LOL!
ReplyDeleteOne word,,,,Gorgeous, but too much money for me, But a classic
ReplyDeleteI love vintage bags especially skin, but for everyday it has to be a practical hobo type.....more than one word !
CM - If in London I would take it the Chloe shop for a repair, surely they would sort it out or I wonder if you rang them, you could post it to them, or try the place you bought it.
ReplyDeleteS - Keep away, a dreadfully expensive habit!
WC - Agree, way too much money, a lottery win would help. Not a lover of skin, weird I know but once had a Pauric Sweeney phython bag, made me feel sick - hate snakes, could probably manage Ostrich though, at a push!
Hi there-wow, no wonder you're head over heels-totally gorgeous and will be a timeless, stylish classic forever-very droolworthy indeed!!
ReplyDeleteSorry, not my kind. I love anything simple (must be my Nordic roots) and slouchy like Marni or Tods, and cannot usually walk away from the Miu Miu shop at Selfridges without a little bag fondling. And my most recent purchase is an APC satchel for day. How boring am I?
ReplyDeleteI have purposly decided not to be a designer bag person but I've loved the YSL Muse bag since it came out. It's almost enough to temp me over to the dark side and it's a slipperly slope from there.
