Bag lovers

Soybean, 17 July, 2012 at 13:44 Posted on Off Topic Posts 0 17

I have a bit of an addiction for bags, OH thinks I am obsessed and really does not get it at all, well that's men for you! he even mentioned it in his speech 'she is known for her extraordinary level of attention to detail and can spot a fake Louis Vuitton at 200yards!' anyway I love the birkin and have been looking in vain for a well made, leather birkin bag for ages and can only seem to find cheap looking replicas. As replicas go, I would rather not have a replica if I can't afford the real thing but with the Birkin, I would never spend that kind of money on a bag (£5k starting price at Hermes) plus I really just love the style of it and don't love it 'just because it is Hermes' IFYSWIM.

So I wondered if any of you lovely ladies had one and if so can you please share where you got it? I have seen some people around with what look like lovely versions that aren't Hermes so I presume they do exist somewhere! The decent versions are very stiff leather like this, there are lots of floppy ones around which look naff. ?

    Something like either of these? I understand what you are looking for, not a fake replica that is trying to pretent it is a birkin, more a quality leather bag in a style 'inspired' (ok copy) of it??

    I'm also obsessed with bags. I found out a colleague who works at a different office was describing me to another member of staff who didn't know who I was until she said "you do know her, the girl with the bags!" Aparently none of the women who work in the office knew my name, but as soon as she said that, they knew who I was! Well. Chuffed. ?

    I love bags, used to collect Mulberry. But when I realised my credit card debts were ridiculous I sold them and never went back there.

    Currently I love this one:

    That MK bag is a beaut! Would you consider something like that instead of the Birkin style, it's very different from wha you had in mind!?

    Well yes, I guess if I don't find a genuine leather Birkin style, then it is better to get something like that, definitely. The leather is gorgeous. It's my Birthday in August, I might have to start dropping some hints ? I think we need some weekly bag porn as well as shoe porn!

    It's amazing isn't it Flow!

    Is it available over here T, or will you have to order from US?

    I've got a MK purse and I love it!!! I used to do some bag porn each day to rival Flow's shoe porn but then I got a Mulberry and haven't used another day bag since!

    It looks like on that site, it is available for preorder at the end of August so it isn't offically out yet, so UK will probably get it a few months later. We are in the process of opening an office in NY so could always ask my colleague to get one for me if i can't wait that long! and probably cheaper too.

    I don't usually fall for bags (in the same way as I do for coats!) but I also saw a stiff leather bag a while ago and just had to get it!

    This red one is just gorgeous...

    I actually think the Longchamp leather bags are pretty good value for money. The leather is lovely and soft and they do loads of different styles.

    I like this one but there are loads

    It's a brand called Romygold, think it is only available in the US and even there it is totally sold out.

    I also love the MK bags, just got myself a bargain iphone purse from an ebay seller. Mmmmm... baggy goodness.
