Hello everyone! I'm super new here - just started reading this purse forum and joined it a few days ago. I used to hate those girls who carried designer bags to school (usually those who study business) because I found it inappropriate to be so "dressy" as a student. As for myself, I was proud of having a huge backpack on my back with my laptop in it... being a nerd.
Well, maybe "hate" is too strong a word, but I was simply not into designer bags at all (WAS!) though I did have a lot of bags in different style and colours to match with my clothes.
I still remember how I agreed with my ex-boyfriend that there were some solid qualities in his $2000 camera that made it worth the amount of money that it costed while a designer bag didn't have anything but a NAME to make it worth that much.
Who knew years later... I've become one of those girls... and here I am...... obsessed with designer handbags and shoes... and when asked if I wanted a new laptop to replace my 5-year-old one or a handbag for Christmas present, I'd rather get a bag and be stuck with a dying computer than having a new computer but no bag. You know? I spend 90% of my time on my computer; obviously, it's an important part of my life; but a bag simply weighs more in my heart. I think I'm sick.
All I can say is... we are just innate with this bag and shoe lust - sooner or later it will get to you. The problem to me, however, is I don't make a lot of money; so I always wonder if all these bags that I like too much a luxury for me. And as a Christian, am I too materialistic? I don't have an answer to these questions yet… but really… sometimes these bags are just like a piece of art to me… like BV's woven leather goods, I'm head over heels in love with them. I don't know why… but somehow I really admire their design and craftsmanship.
Sorry! I didn't mean to give such a long speech before giving an official introduction, but I'm really happy to be here. I don't have a BV yet, but hopefully, it will be my next bag.

Things that scare me:
Snakes, so I never like any kind of snake skin bags, be it just the print or real skin.
When I was small, my aunt told me something she saw on the newspaper: someone in Australia had some big snake as a pet, at one point they decided not to keep it anymore, so they flushed it away in the toilet. That snake somehow ended up in someone else's toilet.... well... that's all I remember about the story; but after I heard this story from my aunt, there was a very long time that I always had to look into the toilet bowl when I was in the middle of doing #1 or #2 for fear that there might be a snake swimming its way there. This story is not what made me so scared of snakes... but you can see how paranoid I can get when it comes to ... s..n...a...k...e...s
Current obsessions: Sales, Online Shopping, Woven Leather (only BV's because others don't seem original)
