3 Beautiful Bags
Valentino is always nice. You really could NOT go wrong with any of them…if it were for me it would be three. Sorry I live in nyc. They are all beautiful bags. My favorite is the Chloe bag. It is a perfect size and shape. I love to wear the cross body bag and this is perfect for that. This bag can go from day wear to evening wear in a snap. Enjoy whichever one you choose!! I like larger handbags. I own at least a dozen of the Elisa Hobos in different croco finish colors; I always get compliments on them from friends, family, coworkers and total strangers.
Brahmin bags are made in America and are very affordable. I like larger handbags, so I would go with the Prada satchel. The other handbags would be too small for me.
When older you may not want a shoulder bag and the studded bag may appear dated at some point. I wear similar on a daily basis, and finding a good quality purse without a lot of bling is difficult. Includes all the sewing techniques and insructions you need to know to make the projects, from making adjustable straps to adding zips and magnetic snaps. The only down side is you have to hold it. What a nice little grandma gift. Number one is youthful, a daring shape and it would go with everything. Brahmin bags are great.
I haul a lot if stuff around in my handbags! Brahmin bags are great. I have two large Brahmin totes, but find I rarely carry them since they are so large. I carried those more when I worked in an office. I had a smaller Brahmin bag that I carried until I just about wore it out. I finally donated it. So I never carry that bag anymore…should probably sell it.
I have a Brahmin Delft Blue tote seen in this post: Elena, check out this vintage Brahmin bag in this post if you like Brahmin bags: So many pretty handbags!!!! Between collecting handbags and tablescaping things, my closets, cupboards and offsite storage are bursting at the seams LOL. Susan, I have the Chloe and love the shape. It is sufficiently large for everything I carry. Whichever one you chose will be perfect to fuel your pink obsession. Glad you are home safe and sound without any terrible road stories!
Before I forget, I meant to ask if you carry a nice warm blanket, water and some snacks when you come north? Just a suggestion to have on hand in case you had some road trouble and had to wait for the recker. While those purses are out of my price range, I still think that 2 is the prettiest, I do love the gold, but 1 comes in as a close second. I do agree with the others that the flap may be a bit bothersome.
3 Times Bag
My love of pink last year and this year and forever……. It is pleasing and nurturing. And it is flattering to all skin tones……. Personally I like the Prada the best. I think the other two are too dressy — they are made for young women who are going out to a restaurant or bar. I also disagree about the bags being timeless. Blush pink was very in for If you want an investment piece, I think the Prada bag in a light tan would look so much nicer with your wardrobe and will be in style forever.
If you really want a blush bag, buy an inexpensive one from T. I too was craving spring and color at that time. Prada—a classic, like some others I am not a fan of the metal. All are a beautiful pink. You must definitely consider buying 2—a gal always needs a back-up purse. In my opinion it depends upon your desired use.
Bags 1 and 2 are a bit more dressy with 1 being a more classic look and 2 being a bit more trendy , while bag 3 would be of more use on the daily. As far as an investment piece I would go with 1 or 3…. I have several bags of a similar shape and they never fail to catch a few compliments. The Chloe is cute, but not as useful because of the size. The bling on the Valentino looks too trendy. I agree with Raef. And while I am an old lady I try not to portray myself as one. The Valentino bag is really nice. And while it does have a chain handle it is not a chain link and it looks quite elegant.
I generally an not a fan of a lot of metal on purses but the Valentino is very elegant looking so it is my choice. I like the looks of bag 1 the best BUT I have a Kate spade bag with a chain strap although the chain is shorter and I have trouble keeping it on my shoulder. Susan, All the pinks are pretty! Also, thanks to your Talbots post, I bought a pair of jeggings for the first time.
I tried 4 sizes and returned 3 sizes. Thank you for the suggestion. I am totally hooked now. You were smart to try several sizes. So glad those worked for you. I have to make myself wear something else now because the jeggings are so comfortable. I really love wearing them with longer sweaters. For me I would love the Prada bag, if only I could afford one!! Seems more practical and classic. Also, I like my handbags to be a bit on the roomy side.
BUT…in the end, you have to get the bag you like the most, good luck! Hi Susan…the Prada is my choice. It is bigger, but that means you will use is more often. It is similar to one I bought last year took me forever to track down the one for me and I love it.
Sorry Susan but as I am so fussy about purchasing handbags for myself, I will be absolutely of no help to you as to what one you should choose … LOL! Love the first one! I particularly like the Prada. I suppose purchasing a designer purse is like buying a good piece of jewelry and probably cheaper. I feel the Prada bag would be your best option. It has classic lines, is a lovely shade of soft pink, and has the most room for items when you travel in the spring and summer we all know we pack more than we intend to, and we NEED that space…LOL!
It is an investment, definitely, but one you will not regret. Prada lasts, and leather lasts. Glad you had an enjoyable trip back home. Of the three, I like The Prada. It is referred to as Nude, but appears a little pinkish. Thanks for the referral on the Orvis sweater and Talbot jeggings. Size 8 with the jeggings. They arrived this week week and both are a perfect fit. Now I am ready to emerge from hibernation from my log home here in North Carolina mountains where we have endured 4 degree temperatures!
That sounds like the temps we were having when I was in Ohio last week. Glad those worked for you, Jane! I LOVE that sweater…wearing it right now. It let me order them, but then I got an email the next day saying they were sold out. I love that color! Oh no…I love that bag, too! Tempting to get it instead of the Prada and the Chloe. What a great price! I love the color, but I still prefer to match my bags to my shoes at least complementary colors , and I would rarely wear shoes that go with any of those in style or color.
For me, the Prada is the only one with a classic shape, but it does appear a little matronly. I also think that the bag should complement your wardrobe, and would only use those for dresses or very nice pant outfits. I love the LLBean clothing and sweaters you have chosen recently! I wear similar on a daily basis, and finding a good quality purse without a lot of bling is difficult.
The Chloe is kinda casual, so it may work. The Arc Shoulder bag by Lotuff is really pretty. It reminds me a lot of the Constance by Hermes. I have the Prada in black and I love it! I only buy coated leather handbags because they last longer. The only down side is you have to hold it.
See a Problem?
I have the rockstud shoes in the same color as the Valentino. I love that one because of the strap and size. Since I ordered it in small, I think it will work as a shoulder or cross body bag, at least I hope so. It should be here in a couple of days. Once I put my things inside and play with it a little, I should have a better idea if it will work. When I visited the Prada store on Saturday night to look at the sizes of the Galleria bag, the sales associate there told me that.
Hope you have a good one!
