I did some of my Christmas shopping yesterday with FI & spent wayyy too much money. I know my sister & mom love coach bags, while I have never owned one. Ive never purchased or carried an authentic designer bag. Well, I broke down yesterday & said f%*# it! I bought myself a Michael Kors Bag & matching wallet & a coach purse. I also bought my sister & mom each a coach purse as part of their Christmas gift. I figure I can wear these bags for years to come and they are an “investment” LOL!!

Congrats! As someone who is a bag hoarder myself I am very proud of your purchases! You followed the number one rule of buying a designer bag, it’s an investment and buy something classic! Haha these are the exact lines I tell my FI when I make bag purchases.

You did a good job! I love my Coach purses. One was completely submerged in water. I dried it and it still looks great. It’s my go to black wedding purse. I really want a MK purse too.
I told my husband that he is more than welcome to get me an LV purse one day. Ha. I don’t think “one day” will ever get here though.

Thanks ladies!!! I have been eyeing that Michael Kors purse for awhile — and just never pulled the trigger until yesterday and then I thought UGHHHH gotta get a matching wallet!! LOL! I am IN love with my coach bag– it reminds me of LV i think thats why! These will def hold up and last me seasons to come! Plus I know my mom and sister will be ecstatic when they open their gifts!!

Black Friday brought me a Kate Spade bag. I am STOKED! It’s the first designer bag I’ve owned. And it was on super sale.

Oh gosh your gonna get addicted! When I started buying coach I bought the classic khaki bags and now I’m obsessed with their leather bags! I haven’t really ventured into Michael kors because I dont think their as well made as coach but they sure are pretty!

I got my first Coach purse this summer. It’s authentic vintage though and I got it for $30, which was surprising because it’s in near perfect condition. It’s just a plain leather “City” bag that they have remade recently. I personally hate bags with branding all over them, so this was a perfect choice for me. I figure if it’s held up this long, I’ll definitely get a lot of years out of it 🙂
I also got a Betsey Johnson bag recently and think I may be on the verge of addiction 😛

@littlemisst08: Me too. That’s why I couldn’t pass up a $50 bag. FIFTY DOLLARS!

@glitter-girl: Oooh Is Betsey Johnson considered designer? I forgot I do have 2 of her bags — I got them each at Marshalls though for like 40$ — I do love them both! But I have to say the quality of the coach & MK I just got feels A LOT more expensive… Ive gone to the dark side… mwuahahaha… LOL

Congrats! 🙂 I whole heartedly approve! 😀 I have been a designer bag fan for nearly ten years since I got my first in Paris! It was an LV that looks as good now as it did then! my LV bags have all held up the best and I recommend them 🙂 but having said that gucci doesn’t age as well IMHO. Do you guys have Lulu Guiness and Aspinal of London?
handbags for for no matter what size you are, never give blisters, and are timeless if you buy right 🙂 enjoy them! X
