Ok time for a really materialistic thread...

I'm tossing around the idea of a really nice purse for goal. I've used Fossils for the last 10 years or so and like them so I may just end up with one of those again despite making a goal.

BUT - if money was no object - what would be your bag of choice?

I see lots of Coach around here, but virtually no Louis Vuittons or other high end ones (maybe because there's no where to buy them except online here) Is Coach becoming the next Kmart brand?

I guess I'm just cheap. I can't imagine paying more than $40 for a purse.

I am a big, big fan of Kate Spade bags. They have some very nice classic bags, as well as some more unique ones, and they are extremely good quality.

Around my area, I do see a lot of designer bags. Coach has been taken over by teenagers at least for the past ten years or so. I hardly see women wearing them, but only young girls.

I am in love with this Michael Kors Gia but it's not really an everyday bag because of the color. If you're looking for leather and a nice design that won't cost you too much, Michael Kors is my choice.

I always like Burberry as a classic and the Prada bowler bags are gorgeous, but can be on the expensive side (2k or more).

ha ha oh dear I just bought two really nice coach purses (classier leather ones, not the fabric ones with C's all over them...not that I mind those either actually).
I think it all depends where you live. Here I see TONS of Louis Vuittons (most that are fake) and lots of burburry (most that are fake). That's why I went with coach because I figured if I got either LV or burb people would just assume they were fake since my city is loaded with them.

I loooooooovvvvveeeeeeeee my new coach purses. It was a real splurge. One is a pinky-beige with gold accents and purple lining, the otehr is grey and black also with a purple lining (but a diff shade of purple).

I LOVE THEM!!!!! Also, purse as goal gift is great!

Right now I really like the Marc by Marc Jacobs bags... lots of different styles, quality material, etc.

We have a Coach Outlet store, so Coach is EVERYWHERE around here.

I just bought a Marc by Marc Jacobs Percy. I was thinking about getting a bigger one, but carrying the extra weight of a big bag is annoying.

If money was no object...

I would never buy a Louis Vuitton bag even if I could afford the high price I'm afraid people would think I am carrying a knock off from the Flea Market.

I just checked out the website and the Medium Candace Carryall is beautiful, and in all different colors. If I could spend money, I'd get the madison embossed metallic (probably in python).

I love Coach! Not the loud designs, more subtle.

I have a Louie Vuitton knock off from Korea like this:



and would LOVE a real one.

I used to be really cheap about purses.

I was gifted a Coach and it's been all downhill from there. I have a couple Dooneys, some leather Coaches, and a Michael Kors bag. My everyday carry is a black leather Coach. I've beat that thing up and it still looks brand new!

If money was no object - I want to have turquoise babies with this Balenciaga bag.



OR $14,000 babies with this Proenza Schouler number. *swooon* Clearly, I'm a very colorful person .

My fiance would freak out if he saw me post this, but this is what i want. And yes, 500$ for a purse is absolutely ridiculous to me. lol

I love expensive purses. I have been eyeing a Louis Vuitton Speedy Bag and was just about to buy one last weekend but ended up with a Michael Kors instead. I am so glad I didn't buy it because I just never realized how careless I am with my bag. After 7 days, My MK bag has a scratch in the leather from I don't even know what. I am so upset but at the same time I guess that's what you get for being so careless.

I just want a Speedy Bag. I have a horrible shopping problem and once I see it, and I want it, I WILL buy it.
