Show Me Your Handbag!

Leila Ideal Rock Total Posts: 608 Last Post: 12/15/2006 Member Since: 7/23/2004	All this talk about gorgeous bags got me wondering what other fab bags other PSers are carrying as their everyday bag. This will be fun! I'll start, I usually carry smaller purses in Coach, Dooney, or Ferragamo but I wanted a bigger bag to carry everyday and my husband surprised me and bought me a gorgeous Gucci! I've been eyeing it for some time and could never bring myself to buy it. I just love the size, the gorgeous hardware, the soft smooshy leather and its gorgeous shades of burgundy, black and brown color. My husband said it was much easier for him to buy me diamonds than that purse--that diamonds are more worth the extra $$$!

I just bought a spy, but I don't have a picture of it and haven't use it yet. For everyday, I carry my dooney because I can just toss it around plus I wouldn't want my nice bag around the chemicals at work. __________________________ "New Year's Eve is amateur night and resolutions are for fools." - Phil Jackson

Except for the super stiff leather-covered metal straps, it's very good for an everyday bag. Anyway, those are the four I alternate, well three now that my mom has "stolen" my fendi!!

First off ... my everyday bag/current fave. Hogan butterscotch-colored hobo-ish shoulder bag. (Purchased in France pre-Sept 11th. So, it's OLD ladies! Be gentle!)

I love the shape & look even though it was everywhere & knock-off-ville for awhile. It was my most expensive handbag purchase ever ... yet, cat hair clings to it like a motherfudger, it falls off my shoulder & just doesn't seem substantial enough for winter ... too hot for summer. All in all a big ol' fashion BUSTO. I keep it though because maybe one day it'll be chic again. Chic, but still a pain in the butt. Hmmm.

musey Ideal Rock Total Posts: 11,179 Last Post: 11/24/2009 Member Since: 9/30/2006	deco--I LOVE the color of that yellow bag!! The leather looks so buttery soft Date: 11/28/2006 4:26:17 PM Author: Mokey So what is yours or your friends source for said bag? You have great taste in bags by the way! We live in LA so the fashion district (and even MALL stores!) carry a lot of really good knock-offs. My neighbor in college owned a Louis Vuitton multi-colore speedy bag, which I never would have guessed was a fake--but it was!! Anyway, if you don't have a district like that, eBay actually does have some very good knock-offs. The ones that claim to be authentic but are selling for 20% or less than the original ones are almost always fakes, but sometimes are very, very good ones. If you can't tell the difference from comparing pictures, it's probably going to be good enough to fool almost all people. I know there are some other good sites for designer imitations, hopefully someone will chime in with them. I'll let you know if I find or think of any more sources!!!

This doesn't hold a candle to the gorgeous metallic B-bag above ... but I did find it in my x-mas shopping travels recently and to myself for a sec. A friend in NYC said she sees knock-offs on the street corners in midtown too ... don't know how good they are though. shrug

Mokey Cut Rock Total Posts: 371 Last Post: 1/21/2008 Member Since: 1/20/2006	I am not a knock off person at all, but they do make some good ones that are hard to tell the difference on. I can understand why designers get upset about it. At the same time, people are doing the same thing when they want to do a custom ring for cheaper than the designer one too, so I guess it is in every industry.

musey Ideal Rock Total Posts: 11,179 Last Post: 11/24/2009 Member Since: 9/30/2006	I feel like knock offs serve their purpose, just as CZs serve their purpose. Not everyone has the money to spend on the diamond style that they want, especially if it's just a fashion jewelry piece. If I wanted a bag I didn't have the money for, and knew it would go out of fashion sooner than later, I'd probably go for the knock-off. But if it was a real "investment" bag that I'd carry for years, and I did have the money, I'd fork over the cash. I think it's the same thing for CZ cocktail rings vs. diamond engagement rings ya know?

moremoremore Ideal Rock Total Posts: 6,825 Last Post: 2/9/2009 Member Since: 3/15/2004	Great bags guys! I'll have to snap a shot of mine tonight!) My problems with knock offs is their alleged links to terrorism and the illegal animal skin and fur trade. I've come very very close to getting expensive mirror image fakes, but I could never do it...(well, ok, once a got a fake tods that I threw out b/c I could never bring myself to wear it)..It's just not worth it. There are too many hot non-designer bags for me to help support that industry. CZs are dirrerent in that regard b/c they don't hurt anyone in my opinion (something that can't always be said for diamonds)... ______________________________ Stewart says: I'm good enough. I'm smart enough. And doggon'it, people like me.

Very true! I feel like so many consumer items have this problem, and it's almost impossible for many people to know the difference--for sure. I've never owned a knock-off myself, but they are super popular out here. Fashions change so quickly in LA--I regretted dropping money on my balenciaga bag because only three months later I was seeing 12-year-olds carrying it and getting attitude-y comments from fashionable women such as "oh, did you find that at a resale shop? I had to get rid of mine." If I'd known it would be out of style by winter 2006, I wouldn't have bought it summer 2005! I guess I just need to be more on top of the fashions

I know it is real, I do not buy knock offs, but how to prove it? And those services charge a steep fee, so I will just hang onto those things, even though they IRK me whenever I lay eyes on them...I give my sitters and nanny a lot of stuff, but still, I have definitely made my costly fashion errors! **************************** "There is no such thing as fun for the whole family-there are no massage parlors with ice cream and free jewelry" Jerry Seinfeld

But I live in Houston, we don't wear coats! Maybe a few days a year. But this was a coat you would wear for evening. I saw it, loved it, bought it. Owned it for a month and took it back. The guilt ate me up. Diamondfan - hey, do an ebay sale. We all know your stuff is real!
