Any other handbag and/or shoe addicts?

[momhappy]

So, obviously many of us are addicted to jewelry, but how about bags and/or shoes? I actually prefer to splurge on bags and shoes vs. jewelry - anyone else? What are your favorite designers? I have a growing collection of Christian Louboutin and I recently added my first pair of YSL Tribute Sandals. For bags, my go-to brand is Chanel. Please share your shoe/bag obsessions

You're not alone!
I have a bit of a shoe collection. But I just add a few bags to balance things out.
I think the bulk of my collection is Jimmy Choo, Fendi, Lanvin, and Tod's.
I love jewelry, but I don't wear a lot.
I'm currently stuck in a surgical boot for a few more weeks and I desperately miss wearing my shoes! I think I'll get a pair of Valentino studded gladiators to celebrate once my feet are free!

The Valentino studs are a great choice - I'd love a pair myself The bulk of my collection is CL, but I also have a pair of Chanel and quite a few pairs of Pradas too. My most recent purchase was two pairs of Prada Scrunch Driving loafers (one in beige suede with gold logo and one in cracked silver leather with silver logo). I needed to replace my other casual Prada flats because they were getting pretty beat up.

I'm not a shoe person at all, in fact I'd live in cute flip-flops if I could.
But I have a serious handbag obsession. I am obsessed with vintage Louis Vuitton and am determined to own one of their trunks before I'm dead. I have two pieces of luggage and never use them - but they have a place of honor in my closet and just seeing them makes me happy.

 

[momhappy]

^I never used to have a shoe obsession - then I got my first pair of CLs and I was hooked.
Just over a month ago, I pre-ordered an Alexander Wang bag (the "Latte" colored Rockie with rose gold hardware). It was so out-of-character for me because I typically only buy Chanel. I'm obsessed with rose gold, so I think that had something to do with it

I have a definite shoe and bag addiction. I think I've got just over 100 pairs now of Louboutin, Chanel, Prada, Valentino, Miu Miu, Charlotte Olympia, YSL ... the list goes on and on. I like really elaborate shoes in fun colours and designs, and I hate wearing designer inspired copies, so that's why I buy the originals. Ditto for handbags and clutches!

I love wallets and got new ones last year for xmas and birthday - LV wallet and coin wallet. I had about 5 non branded wallets at one point. I was and still lazy, so i didnt change them that often. With this set of LV combination....they are the forever wallets...I now have moved my previous wallet to travelling wallet status. Though i could use a new travelling wallet heheheheheheheh.


Shoes - yes..well sorta...

At one point, i loved sneakers and i have had a ton of them.. Now i only have like 3 pairs.
Work shoes- 3 black pairs, and if i could have more,i would. BUt the bling projects take priority!!!!!
Dress shoes- 2 pairs, though DH has acquired one of them so only 1 pair.
flip flops/ sandals- 4 pairs
boots- 1 pair.

So, while i have a few of the above, new purchases are hard to come by at the moment. Well, i dont go shopping for them.. Saving money for the bling projects. hehehehehe

That sounds like quite a collection In total, I probably have about 20 pairs of high-end designers (mostly CL, some Prada, Chanel, YSL...). I prefer more classic styles. Thanks for sharing, zahra!

Generally women take a hand bad for its personal requirement and they take always when they go outside home.

I'm not sure what this means? Was this comment meant for this thread?

 

[momhappy]

I added a new handbag and a new pair of CL shoes to my collection recently. I'm going to return the handbag because for the price, it didn't light my world on fire. The shoes should be here by the end of the week

 

[momhappy]

I decided to get a Valentino to replace the bag I returned. I got a black "Rock Stud" Tote and I'm in love

 

[Harpertoo]

Very nice!
I was eyeing the V sandals for spring/summer, but my spouse sent me down the road of Prada with a yellow/cream bag & wallet.
I added the studded flats last week for a little early spring brightness. We have snow.

 

[momhappy]

I hate to be too match-matchy, but I'm debating whether or not I should get the black Rock Studs jelly flip flops too.

 

[marcy]

I am definitely a handbag person. I always have to get a matching wallet too. I like Fossil, Stone Mountain, Coach and Tumi.

Till today I used to think that there might be only few of them who would madly splurge on shoes but now it really feels great after I read your post and for me its like passion for splurge on shoes whenever I'll go for a party then its a must that I'll definitely buy some clothes, dresses, jewelry etc(Sometimes) but shoes are compulsory for me to buy them.

What is the Purse Forum - is that a forum for handbags?

Getting ready for a party or event is the best! I love the research that goes into it - dress, shoes, clutch, jewelry....

I buy handbags, but mostly vintage Coach ones from Ebay. The good thing is that it takes them a long time to wear out. I just switched to a "new" old one after using another one constantly for about five years. I think I have a lifetime supply. Alas, I used to be a shoe addict but have not been able to wear anything but running shoes since 1993. I still have a museum of shoes in my attic.

I have been on a michael kors obsession this year. Boots, shoes, bags, clothes...

 

[LaraOnline]

This thread is making me feel a little .... sad!
I would definitely be a shoe and bag addict if I lived in a major city with access to all the 'good stuff'.
I am deprived!

 

[momhappy]

^I don't live in a city with all of the good stuff either. I hunt it down - that's what makes it fun!
I got a new pair of Christian Louboutins for Christmas - that brings my total up to 13 pairs of CLs. I'm thinking about getting a book case with glass doors not just for storage, but also so that I can appreciate them

 

[momhappy]

I did it! My hubby stopped at Ikea yesterday and brought me home the Billy Bookcase (I've read its the perfect size for storing shoes) with glass doors. I plan to set it up near my vanity/dressing area, so that I can admire my shoe/bag collections instead of having them stuffed away in boxes in my closet

 

[AprilBaby]

Get the "Hautelook" app or the modenique app and you can shop for the good stuff without living near the store. I am lucky to have awesome shopping 5 min away!

Ooh, momhappy, could you please post pics when you get it set up? I am very interested in this option. Thanks!

 

[momhappy]

^Yes, missy, absolutely! We've been crazy-busy, so my bookcase is still sitting in boxes. Hopefully, we can get to it this weekend!!!

Glad to hear I'm not the only one!
We had a closet organizer put in cabinets with glass doors for my shoes. The designer sort of acted like I was nuts....in my defense it was my husband's idea.
You'll love it! It's so nice to have everything organized and visible!

Thank you momhappy! Whenever you have the time. I appreciate it!

 

[ExpatBride]

Yes! Just treated myself to a Louis Vuitton Alma PM and a pair of Christian Louboutin Neofilo pumps, and I'm already plotting my next splurge!
