up until about a month ago, the only name brand bags I had ever purchased have been coach and kate spade. and those were always outlet bags. and then I came across the Marc by Marc Jacobs classic Q groovee and I became slightly obsessed with this bag. First I was like no no no no way I'm spending almost $500 on a bag. but I kept clicking on it and looking at it and blah blah, I decided to search it out in a store to see it in person. I have been to the store to "try it on" like four times now and I've tried the large size and the baby groovee and while I LOVE the way both of them look hand carrying it or on my arm, neither one has a strap long enough to wear crossbody, it's just like awkward. even giving up crossbody and just wearing it on the shoulder doesn't work, the bag flops weirdly. So I just can't decide if I should buy it or not! I really do like the bag, it's just a lot of money when I'm having reservations about the strap. THEN...

does anyone else feel like Coach and Kate Spade are like gateway purses?? I mean never before would I think about spending $300-500 on a bag but then I came across the most perfect bag and this is the one I am lusting after....

it's a Miu Miu bag and it looks great crossbody as well as on the arm. I am seriously stalking this bag online. only problems are I've only found it for sale used, it's $1000 used and well, I can't believe I'm considering paying $1000 for a used bag.

this bag of course led me to the Miu Miu bow bag which now is also on my wish list. It's adorable but seems to be much more common so I can wait for it. Sorry for the long post but none of my friends understand, I could never tell them I was on the fence about a $500 bag much less a $1500 bag!! Love this forum =)

Hahahaha! They are gateway purses! I went from Coach to Kate Spade to Louis Vuitton and then to Michael Kors. I'm staying with purses that are $600 and below...for now..HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

I definitely want the LV Neverfull GM with my personal monogram, and the Emile Wallet in mono with blue. Need to save a bit more for that one. Recently purchased the LV Speedy 40 last week and the small luggage tag, had to send both to an out of state LV Store to have it hot stamped (my local store does not hotstamp on the bag, only on the luggage tags and wallets). Will post pics when I get them back next week!
