Need handbag and SLG recommendations

[Anita Rigsbee]

Hello all you experts out there: I am going to the Mall at Millenia in Orlando in May and have $2500 to spend. Stores include Neiman Marcus, YSL, Gucci, LV, Prada, Jimmy Choo and Chanel. I want to either get one handbag or a few SLGs and a less expensive handbag. I currently own a vintage LV Alma PM, a Dior Vintage Monogram Trotter and the Prada Diagramme Tote in black. I have been thinking about the medium Dionysus in monogram. Your suggestions would be appreciated! Thinking of LV Cosmetics pouch or Toiletries 19 but I'm not sure they're available. I've heard the Dionysus is heavy so I'm concerned about that aspect. I would love to own a Chanel flap bag but the prices are so high! Love the lambskin, which is what my Prada is. Just for guidelines - I am in my early 60s (but don't act like it). Ha! Thanks again.

Gucci Marmont flap would be my choice if I was looking for a classic yet crisp style flap bag. The prices are far more reasonable than Chanel!

Hey! Can you tell me what you think of this advice? Got this from a potential hire!

"If you are looking to purchase one bag, I recommend that you consider the Saint Laurent Large Sunset Bag. It has a silhouette similar to the Chanel flap bag, but with a more attractive price tag. It is very sleek and modern, while still maintaining a classic look. The clean lines and silver hardware make it a timeless staple bag that will go with anything. Considering the classic bags you already have in your collection, I think this would make a strong addition and round out your collection.

If you would rather one bag + SLG, maybe consider the Gucci GG Supreme Large Hobo + the Chanel Boy Wallet. The Gucci hobo is a nice versatile size, and represents the classic Gucci logo and look. The Chanel wallet would fit great inside the bag, and help keep your items organized. It has the classic quilted construction that Chanel is known for (and may help fulfill your desire for the Chanel flap bag!). I think both pieces are the good combination of modern and classic, which seems to describe your current collection as well.

Thank you so much for these recommendations. I just reviewed the items and they are all gorgeous. I love the comment about the Chanel wallet - right on target. The feel without the price tag! Thanks so very much!!
