If the style works for your needs. I happen to prefer short drop handle bags to shoulder totes. </p> <p>You have my huge handbag blessing, Jen! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-others-is-this-a-good-first-investment-bag#post-251411 Mon, 15 Nov 2010 23:38:40 +0000 Auburn 251411@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the aesthetics of this bag but I want to call your attention to what appears to be a very short handle drop. That means you will likely only be able to carry this purse by the handles or to drape it on your wrist. I love that look, but if you are someone who packs a lot in your bags and needs it to be ultra-functional, I suspect you will want something that you can put over your shoulder, if need be. I see this one also has a long strap but I doubt you'll use that as it tends to place the bag at an awkward hip height. I have a Miu Miu bag that I LOVE with this exact handle composition (short top handles and one long strap) but it is definitely more restrictive in terms of carrying options and can't be used for over-the-shoulder use. Given that you're just starting to build your purse collection, you may want something a bit more versatile. Even a handle drop with a few more inches will allow you to wear it both ways (over the wrist/forearm and over the shoulders). Hope this helps... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-others-is-this-a-good-first-investment-bag#post-251403 Mon, 15 Nov 2010 23:32:42 +0000 Mellllls 251403@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the look of the bag, but I have no idea about the quality of it. For that price, I would think you would want a high-quality bag. I'm sure Angie will know though </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-others-is-this-a-good-first-investment-bag#post-251401 Mon, 15 Nov 2010 23:30:58 +0000 Ornella 251401@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The bag does look fantastic, but if I can see well it does not have any compartments. That to me is a major reason not to buy bags, as the bigger they are the easier it is to cram them with things in no time, and I inevitably end up annoyed because it takes forever to dig out what I need... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-others-is-this-a-good-first-investment-bag#post-251350 Mon, 15 Nov 2010 22:09:08 +0000 MsMary 251350@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm not Angie, but I think it's gorgeous!

I like this one, in grey. Is this a good first investment bag? Thank you so much for your input. I'm pretty clueless about handbags.</p> <p>Luana 'Nadine' Croc Embossed Leather Satchel</p> <p><a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/3126393?origin=category&#038;resultback=570" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/31.....ltback=570</a> </p>
