Happy New Year!

I am thinking of adding 1 to 2 bags to my small collection this year, but with the price increase for the designer bags (almost every half yearly) and limited budget I would like to spend my money wisely. Appreciate if any of you could advise me on the classic/signature (and colour) bag for each brand listed here for my consideration. Thank you so much

Balenciaga: ???
Bottega Veneta: ???
Chanel: Classic Flap, black (got it in 2011)
Chloe: ???
Dior: Lady Dior, grey (got it in 2011); Panarea, rosato (got it in 2011)
Fendi: ???
Loewe: ???
LV: Alma, monogram (got it in 2007); Neverfull, monogram (got it in 2008); Galliera, monogram (got it in 2010); Trevi, damier (got it in 2011)
Miu Miu: ???
TODS: ???
 
There are people by far more knowledgeable that me but here goes on a few.

Balenciaga: City in black
BV: Veneta in ebano (dark brown)

I don't know about the others. I'm inclined to pass on Miu Miu. I've had several and they are nice and I think the Bow is a signature piece but there have been quality issues.

What a lovely husband - go for a Chanel Classic flap M/L or Jumbo. If no Classic flap is available or you know she has an aversion to logos try for a Reissue (in any size you can get hold of). Unless you know different, or the store doesn't have the choice, pick a neutral classic colour. For hardware just think of the colour of metal she favours for her jewellery most often

Good luck :tup:
