I'm not currently going through this but I have in the past.
I used to be a faithful & loyal Marc Jacobs fan. I NEVER bought any other bag. Sure, I looked - but when it came time to buy, it was ONLY MJ!!
Well, about 2 yrs ago I broke down and bought a gently used Balenciaga bag - I was instantly hooked! Soon after, I bought another gently used on (a Seafoam Twiggy) and then I got daring & bought a brand new Black medium!! Soon after that, I discovered the Paddington & made that my "must-have" bag.
2 yrs later, and my closet is now full of all kinds of designers - MJ, IF, Gustto, Gryson, Balenciaga, Chloe, Mulberry. A majority of my bags are still MJ, but I've learned to "share" my luv of handbags with other designers and the benefits have been great! (less back aches, more choices, softer leathers, etc).
I will always have a special place in my heart for MJ (
) and I will always have at least a couple of his bags in my collection at all times!!!
