Welcome to my beloved bag collection!

I've started collecting bags about 2,5 years ago, from all sorts of brands. I also LOVE makeup and shoes, so I'll be posting those collections too.

But let's start with the bags!

I've taken pictures of each bag + some detail shots of the leather, hardware etc. Then I've taken pics of the entire collection of one brand + those bags combined with some of my favorite outfits!

Okay, let's get going:

I will start with my first ever designer bag: my Dior Medium Gaucho in green denim.

I received it as a gift from my parents for my 20th birthday. I couldn't believe my eyes when I got this bag! Me? A Dior Gaucho? I had seen this bag on the runway and various pictures of celebrities and I just couldn't believe this bag was on my shoulder! I was beyond thrilled!

I still love this bag. It's so fun and edgy! And the design and colour are so unusual. Love it!

I'll continue with Dior now.

I have another Dior Gaucho. It's the large Double Saddle version in blue.

I was so in love with my first Gaucho that I had to have another one. But this time I wanted the larger version.

So at my 21st birthday I received this bag. Again as a gift from my parents.

I love this bag even more as the first Gaucho. I love the colour. It's sort of turquoise-y. And I love the double saddle design! Fantastic bag! My favorite!

Let's take a look at the second designer bag I bought: my Chloé Paddington Regular Satchel in grenat.

Bought this bag from a lovely tPFer on eBay.

The leather is truly TDF! It's so thick and smooshy! And I love the chunky hardware!

The only downside is the weight of this bag. It's very heavy! But, it still remains a gorgeous bag!

Let's keep going with Chloé!

My second Chloé bag is another Paddington. But this one is the tote version in a tobacco-ish colour (don't know the exact name).

I bought this bag to use it as a college bag. It's roomy, sturdy and in an all year round colour. It also doesn't have logo's all over it (just the name on the lock and on the harware) But then again, hardly anyone knows Chloé over here!

This bag is, in true Chloé style, a tad heavy.

Next up is:

Gucci!

I will start with the first Gucci bag I bought: the Gucci Belt Bag in regular GG canvas and a red/green belt.

The main reason I bought this bag is because of my back and shoulder problems. The days when my back aches, I wear this bag around my hips. It's also very practical for walking the dog, going to the beach, theme parks, etc. because I have my hands free then. And it looks cute I think!

More Gucci!

Presenting my Gucci Wave hobo in regular GG canvas.

Got this bag at 50% off at the Gucci boutique. I love the shape of this bag. It's very curvy and slouchy! It's also quite large so I love this bag for travelling.

Wow, great paddy! I also got my parents into buying me bags for my birthday and christmas too - always a good thing to get a bag!

More Gucci!

Here's my Britt Medium hobo in silver GG canvas.

I also love the shape of this bag. And the colour is so chic and unusual! And it is sooooo lightweight!

Great bag!

Another Gucci Belt Bag. But in the silver canvas this time.

I bought this one because I loved my other belt bag and I wanted one in this colour. Great for my back!

I also use this one for clubbing.
