I'd be happy if I could go 2 months without buying a bag! So far it's been only 6 weeks and I'm already seriously eyeing other bags.

But it's really expensive there.

http://www.mimco.com.au/

So far I have some bracelets, some necklaces and some clutches on my wishlist.

I add to it every time I walk past the store!

I'd especially love one of these: http://www.mimco.com.au/Product/Bags...263/index.aspx or http://www.mimco.com.au/Product/Wall...381/index.aspx

But I should really save for my next Chloe....

Right, you are about to bid on a paddy...
I am like you... i think the longest i've managed has been eight weeks or so (of intense pain and frustration!)

The cocoon bag is cute! A little small though for everyday use I find - so you might not be missing out on much

I only have one left now, sold the other to put towards a Chloe!

I wish I could make it 8 weeks! Argh, I want another bag

It's painful trying to stop myself from buying a bag I want, you know how it feels.

mariabdc · Dec 31st, 2008, 08:11 AM

I know too well how it feels... The minute i pay off one of my CCs, i start thinking how to increase my debt again... I still have time to buy my last 2008 bag.... crazy!

pukasonqo · Dec 31st, 2008, 05:54 PM

(sigh)...i know the feeling...
maria,you can buy your last bag of 2008 or your new one of 2009!
qwerty, i wouldn't mind it though, the cocoon bag is a sweetie. maybe for my bday (that gives me 2 months to save for a bal bag)
happy new year to all!

Hope you had a happy new year pukasonqo! (you should get a cocoon bag, they are great and I love mine so much, just that I only take it out every now and then when I only have a little to carry)

I think it's now 2009 everywhere else in the world, so happy new year everyone!

I've already placed a bid on a bay on ebay and when the auction ends I might have just bought my first bag of 2009!

I had an elephant grey cocoon bag for a while, and ended up selling it. The leather marked easily, and the style of the bag, made it impossible to reach in and find anything, just a big jumble of stuff at the very bottom... It is a beautiful style and I love mimco, mostly for their jewelery and wallets now... I think their leather has gotten worse slowly over time... If you do end up getting one - go for a dark color

daisyrockyrosie · Dec 31st, 2008, 11:18 PM

I fell off the chloe wagon for a while, but am very excited to have a metallic betty tote on it's way to me soon.... I still have bags on the brain, and am really wanting a heloise or saskia as well.... I don't think the bag lust will ever end, a collection is never complete is it

pukasonqo · Jan 1st, 2009, 12:04 AM

i'll keep my eyes open for the cocoon bag. currently bidding on a bal make up clutch so i didn't get slapped too hard as you can see!!!

One of the early metallic silver grey ones? I'm not good with the colour names.

I bought one off of ebay a while back - earlier this year - wondering if it was you I bought it from! I love it, I just baby it even more than my Chloes as it does seem to get damaged easily

I can't help but love it though.

I'd love a bal makeup clutch pukasonqo! I drool over them frequently but haven't bought one yet - I hope you get yours!

You should know we're a bunch of enablers here, we are always going to encourage people to buy bags so they post more pics we can drool over!

I bought a Bal wallet! Should be here tomorrow!

no - it wouldn't have been me - mine wasn't metallic... just a flat grey. that would have been a nice coincidence though!
