my obsession

Greendrv · Feb 3rd, 2006, 05:59 PM

Well, I'm finally going to get around to posting pics of a few pieces from my collection (thank you to everyone who has already done so: your collections are all amazing). I basically purchased all of them within the past year, and I blaim the Chloe Paddington for this gluttony. Although I never did get the paddy (after hearing about the quality issues with the padlocks, I decided against it), when I googled for the paddy, thefashionspot.com forums and the PurseBlog (no forum back then) came up. And since both forums have introduced me to even more lovelies than I could ever imagine! Before this obsession, I only purchased handbags that were $200 and under, mostly from indie designers. I still only purchase handbags based on their design, and quality, but unfortunately for my wallet, I've discovered some gorgeous designer handbags. Sigh... DF thinks I have a serious problem... he's discovered that I receive a steady stream of packages when I was away on business and the doorman mentioned to him that he has me on speed-dial!

Oh picture, where art thou?

Here are pics of my Fendi spys: sequinned, petrol, and green. It's the first bag that I have the same bag, but in different colors.

Next up is my Balenciaga collection: anis city classique, black twiggy, and magenta foldover clutch. Oops, maybe this machine doesn't have any pics of my clutch, but I'll post it later.

My three most recent acquisitions are my Chanel 2.55 reissue in gray, Gerard Darel drape/Charlotte 24 bag in black, and my Jimmy Choo Ramona in navy.

I also got my hands on a B FENDI bag that was used on the Fendi runway show:

I'm really loving both the Twiggy and Darel in black.

How cool!!!!!!! Beautiful bag with a great story!

Here's a bag that I carried proudly through most of F/W 04: the Oiliy rose handbag. It isn't high end designer, but I think it really represented the embellishment trends of F/W 04 in a very stylish way. And I got a TON of compliments on it.
