Please help me find a new Spring-Summer 07 bag - Designer Handbag & Purse Chat.. The Bag Forum

Hi all! I'm in a huge crisis! I am a big fan of handbags and have always been saving up for a new bag every 3 months (min). Unfortunately, I am scared that my addiction for handbags has stopped! I do hope its temporary (or permanent, whichever is good). The last time I got bag was in January, Prada and the new LV mini-lin. Hang on, that's two bags. I'm going away soon and I have been looking around ebelle and most websites, and yet, I do not 'feel' the need to get a new bag. Have I been cure?

*HELP*

PS- Since I live on the tiny island of Borneo, I have to go to the big cities like Singapore to go shopping! Luckily its less than two hours by plane.

I don't think you've necessarily been cured!

We all go through dry spells... sometimes there just isn't anything out there that particularly catches our eyes. Let's see... for you, I think it would help us make suggestions if you told us what price range you are thinking of for a new bag AND what general style you like. I'm sure we can make some friendly suggestions!

Thanks BoysRSmelly. I'm not really sure what kind of bags I like. The bags come to me...*haha* I'm much more of a clutch, shoulder, hand-held kind of person. I always opted for bags that will be timeless and classic, and will not go out of season so soon. I've never own a Chanel though...apart from a Chanel scarf which I haven't wear it yet

Maybe you are right, maybe I've just reach a dry spell. Btw, I adore the new LV Damier Azure Speedy 30 and Mini-Lin Speedy 30 in Ivory. But, I don't want it as much as I know I should! W-H-Y????? Am I the only one who suffers like this????

Oh I love the new Mini-Lin Speedy! It is sooooo pretty!

I wish it was a 25 though and not a 30... I like smaller bags.

What about Dior? This is a pretty bag:

Or Marc Jacobs? This one is pretty too:

Or Isabella? I love this one!:

These are all a satchel (handheld) style... but I don't know what your tastes are.

VivaLaJuicy · March 15th, 2007, 05:56 PM

I like the Marc Jacobs above and the Dior one as well.... Their sooo pretty!!! What's wrong with the Azur again??? You should get one..... their extra adorable.... I want one as well!!!

Now aren't clutches supposed to be hot this season? I'm surprised I haven't seen more floating around out there.

Here's a cool Roberto Cavalli clutch:

And one from Dior:

And Marc Jacobs:

Now LV seems to be a little behind in the times when it comes to clutches.
Wouldn't the Florentine be gorgeous if it was in the AZUR print!?!?

Lalique · March 17th, 2007, 05:03 AM

I just want to hug you guys!! I love Cavali's clutch. I wonder where in Australia and Singapore can I get them? *hehe* (Remember, I'm still on Borneo island...no designers, unless its from Thailand!) Yeah, I do want the speedy in Azur...but 30 is too big. I'm so over big bags. The new Chanel Paris-Biarritz are HUGE! And I'm only 5'3"! You can probably fit me in there!

Yeah, clutches are apparently the 'it' bags. See, even though I live on an island, I still have ebelle and such to keep me posted of the new bags! The power of the internet!!

I've always admired Celine Boogie bags but never actually bought one because it's so heavy!! I literally mean heavy when I take it off the shelf to have a look. Then there's my old time favourite Vuitton in Midnight Josephine ( I have the Cherry Josephine). But also admire the cross between a handheld-clutch of a Sonatine and a Popincourt LV...but not strong enough to really 'want' it? *haha* However, I'm afraid my 'admire' list are a bit outdated =D
