Why not buy a Guess bag? - Designer Handbag & Purse Chat.. The Bag Forum

Why not buy a Guess bag, instead of paying alot of money for a Lewis Vuiton bag?

Guess can be worn to the Club, or to drawp yur kids off at the locull daycare!

I like Guess bags, one day I will own one...

What do you all theenk of this?

Sure they can get you from point A to point B... but they're not as lovely as a LOUIS VUITTON.

GUess bags are nice... but Vuitton's are known for being classic bags that will last you years... I love Vuitton!

I think LV's quality would be better...plus it's like an invesment, you can always re-sell it and get back some money.

With GUESS bags...I don't think they hold value.

Personally, I hate Guess. I think - for what it is - it is overpriced. $150 on a Guess tote may not seem as much as $2K on a Chanel flap or something, but cost per wear would at least even it out.

When it comes to Guess though, there are plenty of outlets [I know there's at least three around me] and the stores are constantly having sales. If you're really into Guess bags, for sure, buy. But I wouldn't pay full price for ANYTHING there.

Just no monogram Guess stuff.

I used to like guess,,, and they're okay but not as gorgeous as an LV... no offense love you just cant compare guess with a louis. :)

Whatever makes you happy...

I buy a bag because I love it, not necessarily because of the brand.

juicyholicmum · June 18th, 2008, 06:18 PM

^^^ true maeveyblue.

if guess bags makes you happy then go for it. :)

I agree...I do the same! I also try to look for quality when buying a bag.

boysRsmelly · June 18th, 2008, 06:55 PM

^^^ Definitely there with you Jess. LV would beat Guess in quality any day of the week. Guess bags are made of plastic too... not worth the $150 like Caitlin said.

Arianne12 · June 18th, 2008, 07:12 PM

I think you should buy a bag that you love and makes you happy. If a Guess bag makes you happy, then go for it. I use my bags for years so an LV would be a better investment.

Countess_Aprella · June 18th, 2008, 07:56 PM

They're just not appealing to me. Then again I don't have an LV bag, I don't want to buy a bag that's worth more than my car.

Alicia · June 18th, 2008, 08:08 PM

It really depends on what a person likes, and not necessarily the brand. From my personal taste, I could ask: WHY own a Guess bag? But that's just me. I'm not really a fan of their bags. But if I see a bag that I love and it's not designer, then I will get it. I mean, yes, it's wonderful to own designer peices, especially classics like Louis Vuitton because I will have them forever. But, for example, if I see a $20 bag at Marshalls and I really like it, then the brand doesn't matter to me.

OH you all have such wonderful opinions!

You all made great points!!!

sexyalisha · June 18th, 2008, 10:26 PM

I agree, it's difficult to compare Guess to a LV..

I guess Guess is good for everday but personally, some of their bags are really tacky
