I am an addict.  I freely admit it.  I don't know what to do and I know I need help.  Currently I am on a bag ban for life, but that does not mean I can't live vicariously through you guys. 

The last bag I bought, about two weeks ago, was an LV black neo cabby mm.  I justified this purchase because I just sold a bunch of bags (something like 8 or 9 of them) on ebay.  I sold all my Balenciagas except for my favorite lilac first, a manhattan pm, etc. 

I need therapy.

Please show me your bags.........

I don't have the $$$bags, but I love my Kathy Van Zeelands.

This is my newest. It's a pink suedish with all of the added touches that I love.

This one is a metallic "cork" color that is beautiful.

I am a bag addict as well, especially for Chanel and Balenciaga; I have 2 black balenciaga's- a smaller suede one and the city bag in leather. I never wear the suede one anymore because the tassels ripped off and Barneys couldnt find any to replace them since I purchased it so many years ago.

I really don't wear my LV bags much, except for one I use for work and I still like the Manhattan GM, I would like to get one, but if I am spending the money, I would rather go get a Chanel bag..I actually just broke out my white multi-coloure speedy for summer, you can stuff mary poppins bag in there and still have room for more!

If I were to  go get another bag, it would be another Chanel...and I would take a Birkin anyday of the week!!

I'm so glad I found this forum! Besides an obsession for diamonds, I love bags too. I love a variety of brands...actually, I love 'em all! Here are a couple I happen to have pictures of:

Hey guys, thanks so much for showing me your bags.  Currently, I am wanting a nice big hobo style bag.  I don't really know what exactly I want, but I like the way the Kooba bags look.  I did bid on one on ebay, so I will see how that goes. 

I love that pink kathy bag.  It looks so cool for the summer time. 

I will post a picture of my black denim bag when I get a chance.  I have not used it yet.

It is! Thanks! Kathy bags have great linings and pockets on the inside, too.

Hi Butterfly 17!

I love diamonds and bags too!

Here are some of mine.
They are from my favorite bag company Ede Studio.
I don't know if you have ever heard of them, but I got them at Barney's, Fred Segal, and from a private trunk show.
(I like bags that are different)

This is my diaper bag....

And this is the one I am using now.
The strap comes off and it becomes a clutch, and it has the most amazing rhinestone butterfly.
I love it!

Something, those are gorgeous!!! I like that they are not so typical. I love Chanel, Balenciaga, etc, but I like something different too!

Thanks, DF! I really love all of the bling and fun stuff on the bags. My brother calls the2nd bag my WWF bag because of the big belt on it, but I still love it!

Let's see some more bags!!

I am in love with a Tiffany & Fred bag, but know nothing about the brand, does anyone here own one, or know about their bags?

I bought this Banana Republic bag in 2 colors, the Ivory for me and the Pebble for my daughter.
I was ready for a smaller bag. My Chanel bucket has been driving me nuts, everything
gets lost in the bottom! This BR bag is much smaller and lots cheaper.

Thanks ladies, you are really helping me out.  I won the bag I bid on on ebay, so hopefully I will get it.  It is a lot bigger than I normal wear, but I am hoping to get used to the size.  It is green with lace, so I am hoping I love it, but who knows?

Ava, those are cute, I love butterflies!  I would love to get a cute butterfly bag fob for my bags.

Ginzagirl-  I just got the same black denim cabby.  do you like it?  I don't know what 's wrong iwth me, everytime I buy a bag, it takes me a few weeks to actually use it.  It's three weeks now and I still have not used it.

DF, I would probably die if I saw your collection.  You must have a fab collection to go with your fab jewelery!!!

UCLA, I have never heard of that brand, so I don't think I have ever met someone with those bags.

Bebe, that is very pretty.  It looks like you posted the pebble one, it is gorgeous!

B17,

I love the bag because of the handles plus straps. It is very versatile. I decided on this bag because of the the handles/straps/colour/shape. I love everything about it. I have a two year old boy and this bag works for the time being. I wouldn't bring the Theda or Birkin to the playground but this one can be tossed around a little.

Take your bag out of the box!!! She needs some sunshine!!! Let me know how you like it.

This is one of my DREAM bags!  (drool.....)

I love it so.  Now if I can just manage to wrangle €1,500 out of thin air.

So ladies  for my birf-day I am thinking Papillon 26 or Monty.  I prefer the pap but do not want to pay Stg£480 for the extra inch or so and mini pap (which i will NEVER use) when i can pay £340 for the 26.  I love the monty and like the brass name plate but is it too plain?  I like to cram crap into my bags so i wonder of the pap will be too small.  Arg, why do i have to live 4 hours from LV.  If I buy over the phone it only costs a few quid postage.  If I go to the store it is €100 train fare  (DH would have to come to 'mind' how much I spend).

So Pap 26 v's 30.  or Pap v's Monty.  Any advice?  Or should I just buy the dreambag and get the multi speedy with its' dreamy red lining. mmmmhhhhh

Edit:  Golden - sorry to be a perv, but do you have any more shots of that beauty, modelling pics or a sneak at the lining?  drool....

Here ya go butterfly. I was in the Galleria in Houston last weekend when an unexpected shift in atmospheric pressure created a vortex that sucked me through the doors of the Chanel boutique and next thing I knew I was cradling the bag in my arms and making soft cooing noises.

This is the same bag I listed earlier, but the lighting in mine is not great, that is an understatement haha Anyway, I can't tell from the picture, is yours caviar leather or lambskin leather? Do you like this size? Now that I have this size, I would have rather gotten one size up.
BTW, I really like your comforter set!

Matata, did you buy this bag or is that a bag picture from a catalog?  Please don't tell me that this is how your bed normally looks.  MY bed is always a mess unless I have company coming over.

What, do you live in a hotel?  Those sheets are scrumptious looking!  I said this was a bag thread, not a bedspread thread!!!

I would probably get the pap 30 as it can go over your shoulder too and it has that little makeup bag insert that is handy. 

I have a Cherry Blossom pap, I think it is the 26 ( but I am not sure) and I have to say that everything is constantly shifting inside the bag, so I carry my bag sort of lopsided at times.

I love the pap.  I am not familiar with the Monty.  The Multi speedy is divine, but what color would you get, white or black?  I would get black for the winter and white for the summer!!!
