My Celine phantom. Its on a slight heavy side and too spacious. Sometimes i really dont have a lot to load, just my necessities like wallet, mobile and keys. So whenever i bring the Celine, i load in a cardigan as well so it doesnt look too empty.

I love the Celine Luggage and Phantom bags but I probably couldn't justify owning one. They just doesn't fit my lifestyle. They're heavy, can't really be worn over the shoulder, and are a bit too fancy for my office.

Same here. I like the way it looks but I need a bag to be functional so no Celines for me in the future..

At the moment, I use every bag I own. I only buy a bag if I know I'll get a lot of use out of it. I absolutely love the Prada Saffiano tote but right now, I can't justify owning one. It just doesn't fit my lifestyle and it's way too dressy for me.

I do try to use everything I purchase but sadly my Westminster Chanel bag I've only used a handful of times because I'm terrified of anything happening to it. I do want it to last me a lifetime though so I guess its nice to keep it for special occasions!

I would have to say a Celine luggage. I ended up with a Nano instead because it works better on me size-wise. I'm 5'. However, I would like to see a Micro in real life since they're a bit smaller than the Luggage/Mini.

I have a red BV that I've never carried--I'm not comfortable with bright colors but I love the bag.

As for brands, I love the Balenciagas and their colors but feel the styles are too young for me and I would look ridiculous carrying one, so I admire from afar.

It's funny you say this as there is a thread on the Balenciaga forum right now where someone said that it was for young people mainly and then a LOT of older women spoke up and called that nonsense. There are some older woman that carry Bal exclusively and they look absolutely fabulous! I think the thread was named Balenciaga Investment? Anyway, I think any woman could wear a Bal at any age. And I think you should try out your red BV, too! When I feel a color bag is very bright I just wear all neutrals with it and it looks very chic, I think. And really, no need to take it too seriously. It's just a bag after all...

You hit the nail on the head--I have always taken everything too seriously! I'll find that other thread:)

I own a MJ stam, 2005 first edition with maroon suede lining and icy petrol colored leather. The bag is soooo stunning but I am so worried I will damage it somehow that I never carry her. I use my prada saffiano more because she just feels more durable.

I feel like that about my 2010 stam embossed studded python. Love it but afraid something will happen to if. She need to come out more. She is studded on one side exotic on the other and got her almost $70% off at Nordies

i have BV and YSL muse that i love and sitting in my closet. Because YSL is heavy and BV is too lovely until i'm scare that i will make him change shape...the leather still as new as i bought on Dec 2010. and lately i like to carry bags with longstrap that's why that two is sitting beautifully in my closet... Now i just move from big city to a small boring place that looks like a jungle :crybaby:, all my bags now is just sitting in my closet because there's no way to carry them all unless when i do vacation to other place :wacko:

That Samurai bag is just SOOOO stunning. I think you should try to wear it. Being solid black in color it could really go with a lot...it would step-up any sleek and simple outfit. Enjoy it either way though :love:

I agree, your Samurai is too nice to shut away, either use it or display it like a piece of art

For me it's 2 1920s unused bags.

1, a light-tan suede clutch with coloured imprint of all thing Ancient Egyptian and 2 a 1920 Hornback crocodile and sterling silver clutch

I don't think either are worth much in money but after almost 100 years, I don't really want to be the one to ruin them :-s
