Hi Ladies of PurseForum,
I'm about to splurge for my first ever branded bag but torn between these lovelies:
1. Classic Chanel Flap
2. Celine Belt
3. Balenciaga City
I'm 24 and highly leaning towards the Chanel because: 1) if I'm spending a lot of money already, I might as well make it count and buy a really elegant and enduring piece; 2) at some point in my life, I do want a Chanel Flap so thought it would be better to get it now rather than wait for the price to go up, as it is probably bound to!.
Trouble is, as a PhD student I am likely to spend more time with my backpack than a Chanel Flap; the latter would only make an appearance once or twice a week in the weekend, or to weddings etc. Is it worth buying it now, or wait until I'm older? Also, is it a hardy piece or a fragile one that needs constant love and care to retain its good looks? Alternatively, is it better to buy either the Belt or the City because they've got a more everyday look to them?
Opinion highly appreciated! xxx
