4 Designer Classic Bags You Should Have ...

Are you considering getting a designer bag and don’t know which one to splurge on? I think I might be able to help you with this dilemma!

Being a fashionista on a budget myself, I had to come up with a shopping-for-designer- handbags tactic. And after doing a little research, I found out that there are some timeless designer classic bags a gal truly needs since the rest of the bags are just a slight variation on these 4:

1. Louis Vuitton Monogram Speedy Bag

Louis Vuitton have never been more popular than they are right now. But believe it or not, Louis Vuitton Mongram Speedy Bags have been the “it” bags for over 50 years now…

The size of the bags varies from Speedy 25 to Speedy 40 and so does the price: $675.00 – $750.00, they are available in Louis Vuitton online store, but I am sure you will prefer to buy your LV in a Louis Vuitton boutique near you.

i just started purchasing my designers bag last march 2011, and we have the same thought with these 4 classics must-have! i started with LV speedy 30 Damiere Ebene as my first splurge, 2nd was ... See more CHANEL GST black/silver ( wanted the 2.55 but my budget cant afford it, so GST is the answer! :) ) my 3rd splurge was a BALENCIAGA giant city, which i got last week…. and now i’m working on my 4th splurge…. maybe a LADY DIOR is nice… :))) i want something that will last longer than me…. :))))

Just stumbled across this old post! I think a good quality bag is definetely worth the investment. Although designer brands are great, there are also some fab classic bags out there for less (that are ... See more still of great quality). The thing with designer bags is they often up the price because of the brand name and not because of the quality! However I would love a Birkin!

  I agree. I think that for designer bags, you are paying more for the brand than for the quality. I mean, I’m sure the quality is good. But it’s the prestige associated with the bag ... See more and brand that brings up the price.

I don’t like any of them:( Maybe my style is strange. I don’t care if a bag it’s expensive or not, made by a famous designer or not. I just know that I must like it:)

  Can’t believe my luck, Olga! I found a very “me” Gucci bag on 30% discount. It’s actually part of man collection but perfectly fit my needs as working bag which I can use for ... See more outdoor activities too :) I don’t remember the code name, it made of monogram canvas and has a leather sling and a short handle too. I wish I could post the picture hahaha I don’t know how…

Those are wise words, Millie. We should buy expensive things only when we feel that they will work for us in terms of function and aesthetics. We should not buy them only for status.

Love the idea about saving coffee money for a luxury purchase. Will try it. :D

Olga! Guess what… Silly stuff has turned into 40″ LV Speedy ;)
After months of saving and was ready to purchase, I spent sometime to get it with the very best price. LV stores, online ... See more stores, every single day as the exchange rate affected the price! Until I found that an old friend was visiting Paris! Gotcha… â‚¬475 for 40″ LV Speedy which let me save almost $150 of the selling price at LV stores in my country and $100 of online stores selling price.
What I’m trying to share is if we could have waited for months on saving project, it certainly worth the wait to find a way to buy it with the very best rate.
Now, give us advise on designer classic briefcase to go to work with ;)

  to Millie:
  
  Yay!!!! Congratulations on your first LV speedy!!! :)) I am SO happy for you! That waiting did pay off, huh? I also waited for about 3 months to get ... See more my first LV in the US and save around 30% of the price! :)
  
  As for the briefcase… I never encountered a piece that was really worth going for… Do you need it for your laptop or just papers and stuff?
  
  Congrats once again! :)
