coach was my first designer bag (i wouldn't call them designer) when i was around 15. I got 3 within two months but after that i never purchased a coach bag again and never will
 
LV Classic monogramme Speedy was my first designer bag, bought 3 years ago. I've got Chanel, Balenciaga and Mulberry ever since and I haven't looked back.

But Mulberry is my absolute favourite at the moment and the brand I can see myself continue buying for a while.
 
On a college student budget, Coach was my first. I bought a lot of them, but I only still own two. I don't like any of the current leathers they have.

I recently bought a patent Dooney, and I'm in love. But I don't see myself buying another.

I have my heart set on a pink Balenciaga, someday.
 
My first designer "bag" purchase was the Louis Vuitton signature Monogram Canvas Keepall 45. It was a vintage piece that was made in 1983, but despite its age it was in amazing condition. I was able to purchase it for $125 and I loved it, but the problem that I found was that I only used it three times in the period of time that I owned it. Another problem with my bag was that it was way too small and it looked like a oversized purse. Being a male, this was one attribute of the bag, that I did not prefer. I have since sold the bag for twice what I paid and I have upgraded to a Louis Vuitton signature Monogram Canvas Keepall 55 with the shoulder strap, which I was also able to purchase for $125. This bag is perfect for all of my needs and is great for a day trip or a week-long trip! This bag is perfect for all of my needs and I do not plan on replacing it for at least five to ten years.

As for whether I would purchase another Louis Vuitton bag, I am still undecided. I have grown bored of the signature Monogram Canvas print and their runway bags (both men's and unisex) I am less than enthusiastic about. If I am going to purchase another travel bag it would have to be a standard black nylon Prada duffle bag, vintage black Chanel caviar leather duffle bag, Goyard Croisiere bag, Hermes black Togo leather 50cm travel Birkin bag, Tod's pebbled leather weekender, YSL travel Muse, or oversized Balenciaga weekender bag. I have grown increasing less and less fond of monogram prints that labels such as Burberry, Coach, Gucci, and Louis Vuitton have on most of their bags. The primary exception to this rule is Goyard, as I, for some reason, am obsessed with Goyard's monogram print.
 
my first ever "designer bag" was an 05 tan paady followed by an 06 brun paddy, after chloe i have bought dior and coach and now have become totally passionate about balenciaga!
i love the chloes but i am not mad on the newest designs, they don't give me the same excitement that the paddy did when i first saw it (it was "i HAVE to have it!"), dior was a one off (i love the gaucho) but i would buy another coach and would love to be able to get more balenciagas...although, at the moment, i think i have enough bags to last me a lifetime!
 
My first designer bag was gucci, it was the messenger in black GG fabric. I then moved onton the boston style bag also in GG fabric but in brown, since then I have drifted greatly from Gucci and don't think I will return although i did dive into LV but only own a Damier ebony speedy 30 and a mono zippy coin purse. Right now im more of a miu miu and balenciaga girl; although I havent purchased a bal yet hopefull next month, my taste has greatly changed over the years.
