Are metallic bags worth getting now? - Designer Handbag & Purse Chat.. The Bag Forum

JessLR · November 5th, 2007, 03:52 PM

I know metallic bags are in right now, but is it worth to get one for $200.00 or less? I'm eying this one bag, but I don't want to buy it, then regret it. Will it be a classic or just a trend? Your thoughts?

metallic bags are always going to be in.. well i guess it depends on what bag we are talking about

which purse are you looking at?

JessLR · November 5th, 2007, 03:59 PM

The Michael Kors astor bag in bronze. I reeeally like it.

Jennifer · November 5th, 2007, 04:03 PM

oh yeah, totally go for it. its cute. where did you find that one in bronze?

On eBay. I've been searching for days! And a couple finally showed up. Last night, I was looking at the same bag but it was used and had a few marks on it. It went for $80.00! I couldn't believe it...

I like metallics, especially the darker metallics.

I know some golds and silvers can look really gawdy though... so if you get one, choose a darker shade instead of the "fake gold jewelry" shade. LOL!

I love that bag....I have see it on Elux, but in the peweter metallic.
That shape is pretty classic, so it won't be just a "trend" bag like that blingy Miroir Lockit!

Metallics are awesome but yeah make sure like boyrsmelly says to be careful of the gawdy ones... other than that I dont think they will "go out"...
