Great post hunniebunnie! you are truly right about the emotional value of a purse or lack of same. And yes, sadly most clothers and accessories are made in China by kids who earn 50c a day - what do you expect? I usually buy designer clothes, but always on sale :) For the very reason you mention, I still have my personal fit Lewis bought in London in the 90's. I have my calfskin boots from Bruno & Joel that I bought in 1995 and I could go and on! Every year I spend a certain amount on what is in fashion and otherwise I buy classic style outfits. I don't use bag or purse very often, so the ones I have are also really old and designermade. But I would be just as happy with non-designer stuff if it lasted as long :) Btw I think one of the reasons my designer stuff lasts so long is that I am a jeans and t-shirt girl now, my days as a yippie are over... :p |
Shana, I think you would make a fortune if you got a industrial sewing machine and designed purses and carriers. I could even give you some of my designes, I wish I had someone to give my many designes to, so they could make them. I don't have a sewing machine, but I know how to use one, if only I had some money to get one :(. Would you be interested in using some of my designes? |

BTW-My mom is a 'Dooney Girl' and one of my girlfriends called one night and told me to turn on QVC. They were having a Dooney and Burke show and had special pricing. Got a really good deal on Mom's Christmas gift. I don't follow QVC, but evidently they have Dooney specials pretty regularly. |
Woo Hoo thanks so much! Quote:
Thanks! |
kewtee... your mention of designer clothing totally reminds me of my husband and his designer suit. 8 years ago he spent (what i thought was an insane amount of money...) $800 on a suit from Versace. It was marked down from $1600, but $800 for a 2 piece suit was still a lot! but sure enuf, 8 years later, he's worn that suit to dozens of weddings, anniversaries, and other social occassions and it still looks as good as new. in fact many compliment him on how well it's tailored to his build. so it was expensive, but it was money well spent! |
I just got my first Coach and I love it! Everyone calls it my "luggage" because they think it's big, but I couldn't be happier with it! I think my bf got so sick of going into Coach store after Coach store that he got me one! He said that now we can't look at purses for at least a year when we're shopping together. :rolleyes: (Yeah right!) I had an fairly expensive purse that I bought at a department store and couldn't believe how soon it looked old and worn. Designer bags are just better-made and a good investment. I have been obsessed with LV for years, but the excitement is really wearing down for me. I personally hate to see girls barely into puberty carrying a bag that cost thousands- for me, a lot of the attraction is gone because of that. (I will admit that I do still check the LV website all the time, though!) I had a friend in college that lived in Manhattan and interned with Coach one summer doing PR. She got a sick discount and (if I remember correctly) could buy more than one bag a month. I am normally a pretty smart spender, but I don't know that I would have had any willpower working there! I can understand how some people can't understand spending hundreds on a purse. However, personally, I can't understand spending sometimes upwards of $7 on a pack of cigarettes, or spending thousands to pimp out a car... A lot of people also wouldn't understand spending $500 or more on a dog (especially yorkies- many of which cost $100 or more per pound!) I say- to each his own- do what makes you happy. |

Coach purses are the greatest. I have one that is 1-1/2 old. I used it everyday until Christmas when my BF bought me a knew one. The old one still looks brand new. I would to have a LV, bought I think they are little over priced. Plus, I have a friend that has LV and it looks worn after 6 months. I don't think they hold up like Coach purses. My little Rocky has a Juicy Couture pet carrier. |

Designer bags and rims for my car are my addiction :D I have a LV Vanity Star Souple that was designed by Sharon Stone, A Burberry pink nova check diaper bag, a Burberry classic nova check "flower pot" bag, 2 Coach hamptons bags (one blue and one a light pink check), a My Flat in London doggie bag, and a black/silver Coach signature hobo bag. All of mine were bought from their respective stores, excluding the Coach hobo which my husband bought at Macys I think, so they are 100% Authentic ;) I LOVE my bags, and to ME, they are worth every penny (just don't ask my husband if he thinks so, lol). |
I just found that out! Quote:

I bought my daughter her first real designer bag for Christmas. We had a pretty bad year and I wanted Christmas to be special. I bought her a coach purse. She was so surprised and grateful! She loves it. |

2 Attachment(s) I am pretty much done w/ Coach, Juicy, D&B and every other line that has self-promoting signature fabrics. No one's free-advertising on my shoulder! I used to like Kate Spade, too, but I am starting to realize she has no style - she just takes a freaking cardboard box and putting her little black label on it. I'm more of a Marc Jacobs kind of girl. |

I love Burberry for the same reason you do! Not a big fan of the new baby-blue check print they are showing now. Here are some of my faves from this season (all on sale!!!!!!!!) :D : |

I like the first one- I love buckles and hardware. I always thought the same thing about Kate Spade- too many of her bags look the same. |

No Coach Pet Carrier I decided to write Coach, and got this response: Thank you for your inquiry. At this time there are no plans to introduce a pet carrier. Please continue to monitor coach.com for new product offerings. If we may be of further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us. Sincerely, Cecilia Coach Consumer Services :( |

I've written Coach a few times and half the time they've been clueless. The one time I emailed them about an Ipod case for a birthday present. They told me they wouldn't be out for over a month and a few days later they were online. The last two years the pet carriers have come out in the fall so if they make them again they probably won't be able to tell you anything until close to that time. |

I do not currently own any LV but I am a hige fan. I do have coach bags and gucci bags. Look on ashford.com. They usually have affordable bags. I love bags but unfortunately I can't splurge the way I want but I am a addict when it comes to bags. |
