I've always loved purses, but my obsession with designer bags started I think in December when I was at the mall with my mom and I saw the Coach Pachwork Demi Pouch, and I stopped walking to look at it and my mom was like "Elli...come on." And I said "No...I NEED this purse!" She held up the tag and said to me "For $198? Save up!" And since then I have obsessivly looking at Coach bags and lots of other designers too :D Coach is pretty much all I can afford, though. I FINALLY got a Coach purse a few days ago :love:

I think there is a pic of Elli's bag in an earlier thread -- it's super cute and a great deal. Glad you found the name!

Purselova -- where did you find that Avatar and who is it? It's very cool, but for some reason it always kind of gives me the creeps...like the guy is tempting or seducing us with his milk, lol...

^^^LOL It's Alex de Large played by Malcolm McDowell from A Clockwork Orange. He plays a very crazy character and the milk is laced with drugs. ;) :laugh: I :love: that movie, though. I'm always afraid my avatar will freak out people. :laugh:

Well, I've been into handbags since my mid teens. It wasn't until December 05 that I got into Premier Designer Handbags though. I don't even know how I got into it. I think I might have seen Balenciaga in a magazine (That was my first purchase). At that time, I thought it was crazy that I spend over 1000 bucks on that city, but now that's the average on my purse binging.

My cousins always had LV bags. My roommate loves Dior. This started around August 2005. I bought my first Fendi since it was on sale at Saks. And kept buying and buying... at least one or two a month. I'm actually holding off on bags, and am using my time here to learn more about bags and share the appreciation of it since most of my friends think I have gone to Cuckoo-land for blowing money that should go to my tuition into handbags (which are INVESTMENTS!) =D

oh oki, nice to know I am in good company coz my bf doesn't get the whole thing about bags either, and so does some of my friends.. they think it's not good that I am spending a great amount of money on bags when I am supposed to be helping ppl with addiction as part of my profession.. hehehe, take about irony here.. heheh

My dad bought me the Betsey Johnson Good Girl bag last month for my birthday. It cost $400 and I thought that was an outrageous price last month. Since he bought me that bag, all bags seem accessible to me now and I bought the Marc Jacobs Ursula Elise bag afterwards. Right now, I'm saving up for a Stam.
