Ok. Heres the deal.
I am starting school again next month and am planning on buying a Mulberry Bayswater at some point, but I will use my December birthday and Christmas checks (from like 14 family members!) to buy it.
For now I am done buying whatever happens to be cute and on sale at the moment - this is how I ended up with my Maxx NY, Foley & Corinna, and Morgan Oakley's. I LOVE those bags, but now I want to save for a real serious purchase. I would love advice and suggestions, because I am pretty open. I will be putting my $300 "Stimulus Refund" in an ING account specifically for this purchase!
Here are my requirements!
- Be able to be carried over the shoulder (a MUST).
- Versatile color or a rich brown that will go with black clothes.
- Large! Armpit must NOT look like it is eating my bag as a snack.
- No patent (interestingly enough, LV Vernis would be an ok suggestion).
- Did I say large? I have a LOT of stuff!!!
- Classic, not trendy. Not interested in the "bag of the moment"!
- No white or suede! I am awful at taking care of bags in regards to scratching and/or cleanliness!
I know I have posted several threads before looking for help on a bag, but my limit was always $200. Now I am looking for a major purchase that I can be over the moon about, I just need help deciding. I am open to ANYTHING that I can save for - LV, Hermes, ANYTHING. My style is classic, not trendy, and I am really looking to add something to my collection that will be my prize and stand the test of time. I have been led in the right direction by TPF in every purchase so far, I know I will find the right bag for me!
Thanks in advance for suggestions and help! Please don't take offense if I comment negatively about a suggestion, being honest will help other posters form an idea of what I like and help them make helpful suggestions!
