I'm a real believer in quality over quantity. So it's no surprise that I'm very picky when it comes to handbags. Over the years, I have collected an embarrassingly huge pile of cheap purses from Urban Outfitters. But I think it's time to start investing on better quality handbags that will last me a lifetime. Here are some picks (in order of increasing price) I would love to get my hands on in the next few decades:
Tory Burch Robinson Shrunken Satchel ($250)
I usually only go for black/nude/grey handbags but I also love a cute pastel-coloured mini bag. At a cheaper price of $250, this one is just too cute to pass up.
Tory Burch Lizard Small Resin Frame Bag ($595)
I've always loved the look of a vintage handbag and the resin frame and chain-link strap gives this one a vintage feel. This forest green colour is very different from what I would usually go for but it would be perfect for a fall night out.
Alexander Wang Diego Bucket Bag ($825)
In my opinion, $825 is a little pricey for a bucket bag, but I am in love with the lamb leather and the studs at the bottom. I love the cool, grey colour and the silver hardware that matches it perfectly.
How can I not have this IT bag? I have heard that it is heavy and lacks shape but I love how it looks droopey on the arm and, with all that hardware, how could it NOT be heavy? This will probably be my next purchase!
Proenza Schouler PS11 Mini Classic ($1,675)
The perfect little black purse. So understated yet so classy. Very expensive for its size but it's worth investing if you're one of those people who like carrying the minimum in a black, simple, cross-body mini purse.
Louis Vuitton Alma PM ($1,830)
Now this, to me, is a handbag worth my money. Its size is reasonable and its style is classic. I especially love this dark, vampy colour called "Prune Electric". Definitely a must-have for me, but since I find the style to be a bit mature, I will have to purchase it when I am a bit older.
Céline Mini Luggage Tote ($2,400)
I know the hype for the Céline luggage tote is dying, but every time I look at a picture of it, I fall in love all over again. This would be perfect for those girls who carry their whole life with them wherever they go. Once again, another purse worth its price (in my opinion).
Chanel Medium Classic Flap ($4,400)
Last but not least, the IT bag of - well - FOREVER! Every fashionista's dream. This is definitely a bag worth investing in - and fast, since the prices go up considerably every year. Made with buttery lambskin, it is the epitome of luxury. I plan on saving for one in the next few years because, let's face it, who doesn't enjoy a touch of Coco Chanel in their closet?
*Note: These prices are taken off of their own website, except for the Céline and the Chanel, in which I did some research.
