I have been browsing the net again Totally loving the look of the Violet Intrecciato Nappa Large Veneta by Bottega Veneta. Such a fab Hobo bag

I'll have to tell my sister about this thread... She is addicted

Andie

And what about you?

Astra

Me? Not so much... I like having a few nice ones... but she's more of... hmmm... a 'collector'

I honestly don't carry one a lot.... If I do, I end up having to carry a bunch of crap I don't want to (i.e. hubby's keys/wallet ) and add to that I have a tendency to be a bit of a Boy Scout (always prepared) and that freakin' bag gets heavy really fast

I will be getting more purses soon. Yay! A messenger cross over kind.

Beware of `so called' designer labels.

ln my careful observations of `so called' highend handbags over the years, the quality has definitely gone down hill, and l will go as far to say that the highend brands are no longer worthy of being called luxury. lt is because the once highend brands are now marketing to the masses and there are only a limited number of craftsmen who can make luxury items these days.

Of course Hermes' reigns supreme, but the other `so called' highend labels are only shadows of there former selves. Buy designer bags for the looks, but l wouldn't be buying them for the quality anymore because the quality is no longer there. Luxury has long lost it's luster.

Here is a lady who talks about the rotten tricks of the highend labels. Much of it is now made in China with a made in ltaly tag attached (they use legal loopholes to be able to do this) and priced high to make the average buyer think it is still luxury and highend. This lady knows her stuff and the scam going on.

The top designers provided luxury up until the 80's, but it's very rare now...virtually non existant. As some top designers have said "it is not the quality of luxury that is important, it is the perception of luxury that is important".

Look forward to posting here. Handbags are my weakness. As long as it fits my Kindle, it'll work.

I donated a lot of purses to good will a few months ago. Now I only have like 5.

It's so sad to part with them sometimes though lol.

Love my handbags. To make the most of all of my ridiculous collection, I've tried using a different one each day but I've epicly failed cos I've been wearing my fave one for the last week or so

I know some just seem so more appropriate depending on what's going on that week. The bag is always first even if it doesn't perfectly go with my outfit. It goes with me.
