It's an organizer and liner so my purse stays clean, I can easily pull it out and put it and everything in the bag into another purse, making a switch simple, and no torn pockets. Everything goes into the pockets of the liner except my keys and cell phone. I am rough on hardware also. I buy the best quality I can afford. I have had some zippers repaired at a local shoe repair. They did a good job. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-handbag-fetish#post-1417518 Thu, 01 Jan 2015 22:00:48 +0000 gradfashionista 1417518@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those are beauties, and the white patterned handbag particularly appeals to me. I also love handbags, but for whatever reason, they used to have a relatively short lifespan with me. Zippers would often break and pockets would get holes. In the past few years, I've only used two bags, one medium navy blue crossbody with gold accents and a carrying strap, and one small blushing pink clutch/crossbody convertible. Both were pricey for budget and satisfy my needs, although I wouldn't mind a lighter medium purse. At the time of the purchase, I didn't adequately consider the purse's weight, which is an important factor if you do a lot of walking or traveling. Good luck with your decision! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-handbag-fetish#post-1417495 Thu, 01 Jan 2015 20:12:47 +0000 Kristin L 1417495@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very nice selections! And great job realizing that you may not really need 3 white bags. As another lady who loves purses, you've got some good willpower. I can't help much, except to say that you really can't go wrong with a red purse. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-handbag-fetish#post-1417355 Thu, 01 Jan 2015 06:38:05 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1417355@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice selections, Staysfit! I really like the drawstring bag. Good thing it doesn't come in a color I want.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-handbag-fetish#post-1417278 Thu, 01 Jan 2015 00:47:29 +0000 Anonymous 1417278@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Now I know where I can send all the bags I have that I NEVER use &nbsp;Speaking of a coral Coach bag *cough* ..... &nbsp;</p> <p>ftr - I love a drawstring bag. &nbsp;Classic. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-handbag-fetish#post-1417210 Wed, 31 Dec 2014 21:51:04 +0000 Staysfit 1417210@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Welcome back Marley! I've missed you! What a great idea to use my style descriptors! I mostly ignore them because they haven't been as useful as I would like. I think they need some tweaking. In any case, I believe these bags are in line with my current style adjectives. (Easy, creative, calm, graceful, classic)</p> <p>I definitely found glasses frames. I ordered three pairs, two for every day, and one pair of reading glasses. My DD helped with the final decisions. I also followed Angie's guidelines. I am waiting for them to come in from the lab before I post photos. They had to order them in the correct sizes in the colors that I wanted. </p> <p>UmmLila, I think drawstring bags are fairly classic. I have a coral colored coach drawstring bag that I purchased 4 years ago. I suspect that this is a mini trend right now, but they are always around. I have seen the Nylon Longchamps bags. They have new colors available for those also. </p> <p>Sterling, I think you are right. The Marc Jacobs bag doesn't fit with the others. I think it's definitely the color. I think it's a warm tone, not cool like the others. That makes me happy, one bag eliminated from my bag lust! Phew! I'm so relieved! If I add up the total cost of the remaining bags it's still ridiculous! $$$$$$$$ Cha Ching! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-handbag-fetish#post-1417082 Wed, 31 Dec 2014 16:19:39 +0000 Marley 1417082@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A woman after my own heart. &nbsp;;-)<br />Let me just give you a warning - Once you open up the floodgates to handbags into your wardrobe, there's no going back! &nbsp;They just come rushing in and demand to be paid attention to - no matter what outfit you might be wearing! &nbsp;(Fun!)<br />As far as the pictured handbags above: &nbsp;beautiful. &nbsp;To me, its a matter of what fits with your style descriptors and mission statement? &nbsp;Are you a sporty luxe (backpack?) kind of woman? &nbsp;<br />But don't let me hold you back if you're sure they are for you and they fit in your budget - you go GIRL!<br />P.S. &nbsp;I've been pretty much absent from the forum the past couple of weeks. &nbsp;Did you find a pair of glasses????</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-handbag-fetish#post-1417056 Wed, 31 Dec 2014 15:29:15 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1417056@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like red and bright blue for bags, too. And I don't have any yet. Hmmm....I'm not sure how long that drawstring bag trend is going to hang on for, though. I have one of those Longchamp Pliage bags in nylon thst I gott for a beach vacation, and have been very pleased with it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-handbag-fetish#post-1417047 Wed, 31 Dec 2014 14:41:16 +0000 Anonymous 1417047@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Bags are my favorite thing in the world to look at and to buy. &nbsp;I love all of your selections, but especially those in red. &nbsp;For some reason, the marc jacobs doesn't fit in with the rest of your selection. &nbsp;Too casual? &nbsp;Color? &nbsp;Something. &nbsp;The others are amazing though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-handbag-fetish#post-1417021 Wed, 31 Dec 2014 13:29:09 +0000 Staysfit 1417021@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I know I just told myself I would only purchase a few handbags for 2015 fall/winter. &nbsp;"One white, one red, one pink and a clutch..." &nbsp;However, I had also been looking at leather backpacks for a while and nothing struck me until I found this Julian Backpack&nbsp;by Rebecca Minkoff. &nbsp;I had completely forgotten to put a backpack&nbsp;on my 2015 list. &nbsp;I also love the leather Longchamp La Pliage Cuir bags. &nbsp;They are probably my favorite bag in terms of weight and durability. &nbsp;I have one in a champagne color from last spring/summer. &nbsp;&nbsp;I saw that there are a few new colors and among them was red, so I hit the purchase button, but there was also a beautiful blue in my color palette, and I love it also. &nbsp;I am debating whether I should eliminate the pink bag and get the blue one instead. &nbsp;I ended up purchasing the LK Bennet Rosie bag in white that Angie has. &nbsp;I like it, and think it will be perfect. Now I am not sure about the Feragamo bag anymore. Not because I don't love it, but because I don't really need two white bags plus a backpack in white. &nbsp;That would be overkill. &nbsp;I still love it though, and I keep looking at it. &nbsp;I am so drawn to that bag for whatever reason. &nbsp;If i do get it, it will be a birthday gift to myself, and I will not count it as something for my 2015 purchases.</p> <p>I also love a drawstring bag, but I didn't purchase one, yet. &nbsp;They are showing a lot of them, and they are hard to resist. &nbsp;I really love the Marc by Marc Jacobs bag because of the size. &nbsp;It's perfect for work. &nbsp;Isn't the Elizabeth and James bag cute? &nbsp;I love that it's red! &nbsp;It' would be a great accessory for my wardrobe and perfect for the weekend. &nbsp;Oh my! &nbsp;I have become a bag girl instead of a shoe girl! &nbsp;What to do, what to do? &nbsp;I am going to go broke with all this dreaming! &nbsp;(Good thing I am only dreaming!) </p>
