My HG for as long as I can remember has been a LV Mono Speedy 25, never thought I would have one (LV is not a typical luxury for the average stay at home mom) until I discovered the magic of pre-loved on eBay. Recently purchased a Speedy 25 in excellent condition for a little over $300. The funny thing? I'm not sure I like it! Maybe I'm still getting used to it but whenever I wear it I feel a bit silly.. I'm much more comfortable carrying my Coach's. However I also bought a mono Neverfull MM and love it, so maybe the Speedy just isn't a good style for me. Time will tell!
My UHG is the Dior Samourai. I wouldn't be picky on the color as long as it was in excellent condition. (Any of Kellyng's would be perfect lol!) HG's that might actually be obtainable someday are the LV Mono Speedy 35, Chanel Jumbo flap, Bal PT or Work or City bag and another Valentino. There are several different styles I like so I could be happy with any one of a few. Also HG's, LV Groom wallet and McQueen skull knuckle clutch. Ahhh, we can always dream, can't we
My HG bag is the Michael Kors Hamilton - it's gorgeous, yet not too dressy to use as an everyday bag. I haven't used anything else since I first got it!
HGs at the moment:
1. Givenchy Obesdia messenger bag in black pepe leather
2. Proenza Schouler PS1 bag xl in black leather or tabacco suede
3. Goyard St. Louis tote gm in black with tan trim
4. Hermes Jige clutch a4 size in black
There are 3 bags that I consider my HG...and fortunately, I was able to purchase the last of my HGs this month
The first on my HG list is a Gucci Bouvier Large....a bag that I was able to buy in 2008 (at 20%off!!!! Gucci Classics are almost never on sale):
The 2nd bag is a Balenciaga City in RGGH, bought in 2011:
and earlier this month, my DH bought this for me as an early birthday gift (my birthday is on November!). It's a Chloe Paraty and luckily, saw one with military in straps in blue! Here it is:
So for now, no HGS for me to buy....but there are possible contenders like the Phillip Lim Pashli Satchel or the Balenciaga Lune from past seasons (probably hard to find!!).
Mine would be the Gucci Craft Tote in the super soft brown leather. I found the blue and orange colors at the Gucci outlet, but never the brown. Plus, parting with that much $$$ just seems a little crazy. Oh well, I will continue to dream
I have a lot of wish bags that are not out-of-reach (I think some of it is about the hunt because most of them are from older collections)
but right now my HG would be a PS 1 (or several)
I finally got my HG in July - LV Theda GM. She's as gorgeous as I dreamed and I love her to bits. However, I am more than a little paranoid about damaging her. I only bring her out occasionally and I wish I could enjoy her without feeling nervous. I still use my Coach Willis on an everyday basis because I wouldn't be as heartbroken if it was damaged.
I know this thread is a little old, but I think it deserves a bump.
My personal holy grail bag is Stella McCartney's Falabella Fold-Over Tote. Ever since I saw Brandi Glanville carrying it on Real Housewives of Beverly Hills (my guilty pleasure show), I've been in love with it. Any color will do
LV Artsy in empreinte leather - ideally in infini
Chanel WOC in black Prada saffiano tote in a caramel or tan colour
I used to want a larger Chanel bag for everyday use but after owning one briefly last year I realised that it doesn't suit my lifestyle at all. I would like a WOC for special occasions though.
For "premier" (or lack of a better word): My HG is most definitely my Chanel Petite Shopping Tote in black caviar with gold hardware. Just got her right before the New Year. Without a doubt, my favorite bag. I never thought I'd own such a gorgeous bag. It holds all my daily essentials, and I adore it and look at it all the time. I've used it day and night since I bought it, and I usually switch bags quite often during the week. It's also the most expensive bag I've ever purchased. I hope it lasts a long time, especially since I baby my bags, because I can't see myself spending more on a bag anytime in the future.
"Contemporary": My Coach Carrie in rust red, embossed croc with kisslock closure. This bag rocks. It's gorgeous. It was one of the last in the country in this color, and I adore everything about it. So ladylike and elegant.
