What is your HG bag?!

I have the exact same thoughts...black with gold hardware, later on in life (I'm turning 27 this year)

A classic HG for me - black Birkin with gold hardware. It's a "gotta save up for the money" issue, but also, I personally wouldn't feel right carrying a Birkin just yet, while in my late 20s. It's more something that I envision I'll have toward my late 30s or in my 40s. In the meantime I'll happily carry other designer bags and wear H scarves, but for some reason I feel like a Birkin would really only line up with my self-image when I'm older and hopefully in a higher income braket. Don't know if that's a weird notion to have.
 
Camaro Chic...gorgeous gorgeous speedy! If I were a brown type person I would probably put that down as well. And love the color of that Birkin!

I guess I should state that a bright cobalt blue Birkin with silver hardware would be my Ultimate HG...but alas, that is probably not in the cards for me (not so much financial reasons but just "social" ones). Although with the amount of uninsured dental expenses I had in the last 3 years, I could have had 2 by now :)

Silversun..I don't think it's a weird notion to have..you know yourself better and you have to do what makes you feel good..especially at those price points!


Amanda..classic HG! I am also 27...at heart! :D....See, this is a 42 year old wanting a multicolor speedy...i'm into mid-life crisis LOL!

A Mykonos or Lagon Birkin 35 with PHW are my two other HG bags. Once I have the Rubis and Lagon to add to my black and gold, my collection will be complete! :woot: :tender:

....until I find something else. :D
 
I was just thinking about Holy Grails...and now that I know how to streamline my "functional" and glam bags, I think mine is the LV Multicolor Black Speedy.

I know some might think it tacky and too young, but I just love how fun and substantial it is (all that hardware!). Can't stop thinking about it and I know it loses its value as soon as you take it home, but so far, I'd really like to have it brand spanking new and just stare at all the 33 different colors :)

I do need to get my other bags first and then I can start thinking about an actual purchase :)

My HG has always been the white multi LV speedy. ;-)
I would not find yur choice tacky at all! :-D
 
Balenciaga GGH Pommier, Anthra or Black (but I'll take anything beside a white, beige, or red) Part-Time or City.
Purple shoulder Birkin.
 
A beige clair Chanel w/ghw, Dior diorissimo and a black lady Dior w/ shw....
I'm wanting a Chanel and Dior too, not sure whether to go black Chanel or beige Dior or other wasy around. Gorgeous HGs!

Thanks! If I lived in a warmer one season climate, I think I would prefer the white too :D

Holy grail bag that we want?

35 or 30 Birkin, Orange or Gold...

I have a couple:

Birkin, Iris with GHW
Birkin, Etoupe with PHW

Celine Black Medium Classic Box Bag

Balenciaga GGH Pommier, Anthra or Black (but I'll take anything beside a white, beige, or red) Part-Time or City.
Purple shoulder Birkin.

Stunning HGs ladies!
 
When I originally wrote this post, I thought I had found my HG, maybe even my UHG, but alas, it wasn't meant to be. I sold my D&B Portofino Grommet Sac on eBay about 10 months after I bought it. It was too large to be practical, and I always had to lock it in my car trunk at work because it wouldn't fit in my locker. It held all my stuff, but there was so much room it was hard to dig everything out. I just ordered a new Coach Perforated Leather Duffle so maybe that will be it. Such a shame, as it was a gorgeous bag. Ugh, that LEATHER! :sigh:

As far as my heart's desire, I have wanted a Mulberry Alexa for a few years now, so maybe that will be my UHG since I will NEVER be able to afford it.

Can we restart this thread?? Any new UHGs ladies??
 
Well, I don't know if I'm weird, but I'll admit I don't have any. If I like it so much, after a while I'll just get it. Or maybe the lust just die down. :)
 
I think my "Holy Grail" is a little different. While I would love a Bal First or a vintage Chanel medium flap, those are (at least conceivably) obtainable in my lifetime.

My "Holy Grail" would be to have something TRULY bespoke. I would love to travel to Italy, find a master cobbler, and have a bag handmade to my specifications, probably in chevre or kid. Then I would commision an artist to paint it - think Prada's Fairy, but something especially for me. I'd like something by master craftsmen that exists just one place in the world - with me.

That's fabulous! And not completely unattainable!
