A preloved Louis Vuitton Alma in the Epi line, or a Speedy in the Epi line came up in my mind as I read this thread. Definitely a classic piece within your price range![]()
Check out GiGi New york, they have a good range of classic styles like totes and structured satchels. The leather is really nice quality (often full-grain) and the prices are good.
Hello,
I'm currently saving up for my first excellent quality bag. I'm not into bags screaming what they are but I do want to invest in a well made bag. I'm after something that is smart possibly structured and it has to be a classic style as I don't it to date. I've never purchased a bag more than $300 before, so I hope I don't get buyers remorse. I'm reluctant to pay more than $850. I do like the Chanel WOC and classic flap bags but feel these are out of my budget.
Thank you in advance, provence_rose.
I've added the Alma BB to my wishlist as well as the damier ebene speedy. Which size speedy would you recommend? I don't normally go for anything more than 32cm
I would say save for a pre-loved Chanel flap. It will last you forever
I have a damier azur speedy in size 30 that I love for years. I've found it to be the perfect size, big enough to carry daily essentials but could still pass for a more dressed up event. I've had a monogram speedy b in size 25 before which I found the opening to be too small for my liking.
Epi speedies, on the contrary, are a tad bigger than a regular canvas speedy though. For instance, a epi speedy 25 is actually around 27cm whereas a epi speedy 30 is around 32cm. Hope this helps!![]()
On Ferragamo, I have had my eye on some loafers and a long wallet a couple years back, both are now with increased price. So ridiculous! But all premium brands are doing this now...I hadn't realised that Ferragamo had increased their prices. I live in the UK so will keep an eye out for their sale.
I like the look of the Longchamp cuir and also the customised option, but its more of a casual style for me.
Take a look at Milli Millu![]()

When somebody here suggested Longchamp, I was gonna say Honore 404. Glad you liked it. I've seen it in real life, in beige, I find it pretty!I looked at the Honore 404 line by Longchamp which is lovely too.

Unsure when price increases occur. I think it just happens on a whim!I wil have a look. Thank you.
Okay. Do you know when during the year the price increases happen?
