I am also having the big birthday coming up (turning 40) and this time I will buy new just for this occassion. I also enjoy going to the boutique and walking out with the big brown bag. What a feeling!
Well if its in your budget right now,splurge on a new one(plus its your birthday),if not get a used one,what matters is that you get the bag you want !
Happy Birthday in advance
It's still a few months away, but thanks!Well, I have various bags, some I bought new, some used.
I tell you what happened to me:
In a first moment, I bought only new.
Then, I begun to buy used that particular bags (limited or discontinued edition) that were no more available in stores...
Well at the beginning I was a little unsure, but now I feel a new sensation:
The idea of having a bag with a second life... with an history... someone who loved and decided to buy it... and also the idea of buying something that is not available in stores...
I don't know but I love this sensation!
so my conseil is:
If you find it in stores, buy it new, but if you find a good second hand that you desire and it is no more in store: buy it of second hand!
Happy birthday!
Steph.
