What's your FIRST designer bag you ever bought?!

[papertiger]

If you mean the first bag I invested my own money in rather than a gift, it was my large black Horse-bit Chain Clutch followed by a Gucci Jade Horse-bit Chain shoulder bag (I bought 4 bags from the same line). I got slightly obsessed but I still love and use them all. The best thing is I have been reunited with my Jade baby after many years after thinking I lost 'her'.

My first designer bag was a Longchamp Planetes tote. I still love that bag. I then moved on to Coach and my first premier designer bag was a LV Damier Ebene Neverfull. There is no turning back now, I need more bags!

My first bag was the Mulberry OS Alexa. I absolutely fell in love with it and it's still one of my favorite bags.

My boyfriend bought me a Black Chanel classic flap (large size) earlier this year. Since then I've added four other Chanel bags, haha.

My first designer bag was a Chloe Paddington that I no longer use. I can't bear to sell it though x

I still remember the day I got my first designer bag 6 years ago. It was the Chanel black GST in caviar with GHW and it began my obsession with Chanel since then.

A MCM purse back in the late 80's. Well my dad bought it for me back then it it was my first designer bag. My first actual purchase was a Fendi bag I bought back in high school.

Coach Ashley.

When I was younger and working as a waitress, one of the patrons placed an Ashley on the table and the leather just sloshed on the table so beautifully.

Back then I couldn't afford one but when I had money to buy bags I naturally went to buy an Ashely.

Can't remember, but I kbow it was a Rebecca Minkoff 6? 7? years ago. Probably a MAC.

It was a gold Michael Kors bag before his bags saturated the market. I bought it from the US EBay. When I picked it up at the custom office I remember the lady there said, 'Wow, that bag is so.... gold' and I replied 'It's Michael Kors!'. She gave me a blank face. Lol.

I think my bag story is sort of like Sleeping Beauty...woke up from a nightmarish world of crappy bags!

I couldn't stand to even carry a bag...all the way into my early 20s. I got married young and remember my first husband would carry all my stuff in his pockets. One day at the Jersey shore, there was this cheap leather bag at one of the playing stands and I tried to win it and kept losing! Finally my husband put a quarter on every position and won it for me by default...we joked it was my $30 bag. It was expensive and I cried because it cost so much!

It wasn't until my first child was born in the 80s that I thought a bag could be a good thing. I had crappy bags from Sears, Penny's and used them for years. Later I discovered "Fossil" and would save up money to get one or two. They never seemed to go on sale. Gradually I moved up to Guess back in the early 2000s and sweated at the cost of that!

When I moved to NYC with my current DH, I was exposed to well-dressed women with gorgeous bags. I bought a Dooney & Bourke florentine satchel at Lord & Taylors back in 2011 and considered that my first contemporary designer bag. My first premier designer bag was a LV NF MM in DE. I remember my heart racing with adrenaline when I bought it in the Louis Vuitton store at Macy's Herald Square.

The rest is history!

I got a small Coach bag when I was very young and my first Chanel when I was 13 or 14. I saved up all of my allowance, birthday, and holiday money for at least a year to buy that bag! It was money well spent as I still carry that first Chanel over a dozen years later.
