I've only had contemporary designer bags from Michael Kors and Coach, but very recently I've had this HUGE hankering to get this one bag of a TPFer that really caught my eye. It was gvamty's garnet Chloé Marcie hobo that did it.
But I've never spent so much on any fashion item before and I'm worried that this'll totally open the floodgates! I've got the a-ok from the hubs and Christmas bonus, but I'm thinking maybe I should gradually work my way up there...
TL;DR version: I'm scared of spending so much money on a bag when I've never spent nearly that much before!![]()
I'm nervous about buying (actually about CARRYING) a premiere designer bag too! I have a collection of Coach too and I recently pre-ordered the RM TPF bag.
The Chloe Marcy was one of the first premiere designer bags I fell in love with, then Balenciaga, Celine Box & Luggage, Burberry bowling bags, LV Alma epi black, and now I'm obsessed with Mulberry Alexa - just waiting for a color that compliments my collection and is not woven (though I loved the Berry - didn't want the woven for the price of a premiere designer bag).
My point (or suggestion) is, wait until you feel good about the purchase before you buy. You may change your mind 20 times like me! I have decided that the RM bag will (hopefully) satisfy my cravings for Burberry, Balenciaga, LV Alma and Coach Legacy Haley. Still looking at the Mulberry Alexa for fun, though.
Have you seen the Chloe in person? They have it at Nordstrom, and I go visit it every so often.
