Challenge: Please help me find the perfect black handbag!

[beaumonde]

Why not have one made to your exact specifications? I had a large black workbag and matching clutch made at Roberto Vascon in NYC for under $600. Roberto Vascon

I absolutely adore my black GD 24 hr Charlotte bag. In fact, despite having a beautiful collection, it really is the only bag I carry. Can be dressed up or down, and is virtually weatherproof.

I got mine for $350, and even price increases, it's definitely under $600. Classic shape - I can imagine carrying it forever.

Please excise my ignorance...:shame: What's "GD"?

Congrats, Greendrv, on having a beautiful bag! Buttery, if yours truly is allowed to vote, I'd plumb for the Gerard Darel

However, just to let you consider other choices - Monsac has just revamped their website:

I like the Carlos Falchi.. but I was also browsing eLuxury, and I came across this Marc by Marc Jacobs bag. It seems really good for 428!

Can our British friends enlighten us about the quality of Ri2K bags? Thanks.

Hey, iv got a Ri2K bag and I love it! The leather is pretty slouchy and I like the detail that mine has. I have however never owned or even touched a high end designer bag so I couldn't compare for you im afraid!

Thanks for the reply, extremelove. I am in the same boat as you - I am a browser, not a buyer of designer bags

I just now saw this thread. I like this DKNY Satchel a lot and it's on sale for $225 at eLux!

Try Furla bags! No one really carries them in the states (mostly Japan) but they are too cute!!!

I'm considering the YSL Black Muse in large or the Marc Jacobs Elise. Both are very nice.
