Off-season bags - how comfortable are you carrying one??

[mlbags]

I love my bags and I do keep them for a long time.... my Chanel is 10 years old but of course, Chanel's always a classic. I tend to buy bags that are not too 'seasonal', more of a classic range so that one can't really tell which how old my bags are!!!

Would you be comfortable carrying a bag that is obviously of a season 3 years ago and no longer in production?

I love the Dior Gaucho but the SA told me it might just stay to end 2007 on the production line.

Thanks for your thots on this ...

As long as I love it, I don't care.


That said, I tend not to like 'trendy' designs so I'm probably safe anyhow.
BIG Chanel fan!

For me personally...I buy bags that are not seasonal and stick to classic looks and color b/c I want to carry them for a lifetime if I can...Thats why I invest in an LV..So I try to avoid the in/out or seasonal purse deal all together

It wouldn't matter to me at all. As long as I like what I'm carrying, that's ok. I still carry bags I bought a few years ago.

I don't like super trendy bags, so I try buying the bags I really like and know I will wear in the years to come without worrying that they are not in anymore.

For the most part, I buy what I like, which is usually not trendy, but I do have a pink Coach bag that seems dated now that pink in not "in".

I do not tend to buy trendy bags so it's not an issue for me. However, I think if you like a bag you should be able to use it anytime, trendy or not, just think of it as 'vintage'....

i carry what i like. which usually hints at trendy or boho- ish.

I do this all the time. Most of my bags aren't "obvious" though....

the more it's off-season, the more i enjoy carrying the bag because not many people will be wearing them.

If it was a quality bag I'd rather have that than some £/$10 bag that is "on trend," but rubbish.

Ditto, Swanky!

I carry what I like and I don't care what season it came out in.

I carry what I like and I don't care what season it came out in.

yup!
Specially if the bag compliments my outfit and mood,
doesn't matter what season or year it came from.

I invest in pieces I will enjoy carrying/wearing for years, year 'round. If it's something trendy, I won't spend a lot. I have a BCBG purse which is strictly a spring/summer type which I got on clearance for $80. I never would have paid the full $300 for it.

As far as something which is a 2006 model or 2003, 2004, whatever...if I like it I'll continue wearing it. I think it's ludicrous to toss something because it's "last year's" trend. I don't know about you, but I just can't afford to drop serious cash on a whole bunch of trendy pieces year after year. If it still works on me, I keep it!
