Hello all! Sorry for my long story, & please bare with me!!
I was recently at SCP & from a distance saw the f/w15 Blue textile phantom on the shelves in Celine. Blue's my fave color so it stood out, and I died a little inside haha I didn't go into store, but did research after...the bag is $2,100 or $2,200; the handles, wing pulls, & I think base are all leather.
First, what are all of your thoughts on the bag & the textile phantoms in general? Anybody know how they hold up or what they're like? Also do you think that they're worth the money and can be a good piece in collection, or do you think it will just end up being an impulse trendy non staple bag buy?
Second, the dilemma...I'm trying to save up to get a Van Cleef bracelet around Christmas time in NYC (my lovely SA transferred there), and am in process of getting a job now, so will have income soon, but it would still be cutting it close time wise...
Also, after I get these 2 VCA bracelets & Goyard St Louis (which would end up being same price as the phantom) for school bag next year, I wanted to start saving & switching to Hermes for bags (which I'll have to save up for about a year in order to have enough to buy things, plus money to drop for B/K at any time)
Question is, do I just pass on this bag, stay focused on getting my priority items and saving for Hermes; or get the phantom now (even though its a textile & not leather) and hustle to get money for the VCA in time for Christmas?
*The only bags I really use/have for daily casual use are: Chanel black WOC & Black Boy (which is off for repair now), & LV Pochette Metis*
Sorry for my LONG story! I just wanted to give all the facts so you could give true opinions! Thank you in advance lovelies!
