For purses, I am very much Chanel obsessed. My "problem" is that my "illness" started just when the Cambon craze was ending. Therefore I missed alot of wonderful purses at much lower prices than today.
For instance I never used to look at Chanel in the department stores or the boutiques so therefore had no knowledge of the incredible designs. I really ony bought Louis Vuitton and was addicted to that for a long time, even buying vintage cosmetic cases and wardrobe trunks with drawers. Then one day I discovered Goyard and took a major plunge and ordered a personalized tote at Barney's. This is before it became popular.
Anyhow after that it has been Chanel all the way, so much so that I check the boutiques and department stores weekly and when we are on trips abroad we hit all the Chanel boutiques. I have been lusting for the large bubble flap but somehow can not bare to part with $2600. I think the prices have gone too high.....
It is doubtful I will ever get into Hermes. I have a few scarves and a great Kelly bracelet from them but the purses seem a tad dowdy and almost pretentious.
Well just my 2¢
