Handbag Politics
"If you go into a high-street shop and pay £5 for a handbag, you've got to wonder where it came from."
- Emma Hill, creative director of Mulberry tells The Times Magazine.

Luckily (or unluckily - however you see it) I was born with expensive taste. I've never wanted a cheap handbag in my life. At the moment I'm dreaming about Mulberry's hot pink Bayswater, at the luxury price of £995.
The fact it's sold out makes me feel better about not being able to afford it anyway. I'd rather admire labels from afar then walk into Primark.
What's your dream luxury handbag?

I've found that 'it-bags' have become less and less desirable recently, until this fellow came along...I've been besotted for months! The colour, the ponyskin, the compatability factor with a leopard coat...
oh I've got a few! the bayswater in tan and black, plus of course the 2.55...
love the hot pink on this one!

I want a red 2,55 bag oh.. and a black preferably aligator skin hermés birkin bag.
Well I wouldn't say no to a chanel reissue.... ;)
any chloe bag would do it for my dreams
My current dream bag is a Chanel reissue (matte black with gold hardware), or a Chloe Paraty in black python...

balenciaga motorcyclebag in mintcolor
my dream forever.
beautiful bag!!! i saw a large patent purple bag for £450 a while ago and have always wanted it :)
At the moment I want the Chocolate Bayswater and I might just be buying it at a seriously discounted price...
2.55, for sure, i'm not very original!!
but i could kill for a birkin too.
and i disagree with you: i love primark, topshop and co., for me it's like affordable heaven!!
After about a year of lusting I broke down and bought a black Bayswate. I have to say it was well worth it, no regrets.
I like that quote. I've never been a fan of really cheap bags but am happy enough with Topshop and Zara! I do own one Mulberry bag and I guess my ultimate bag would be a Chanel 2.55
My dream handbag? a good vintage big big Chanel Matelassé in black. Classic, but it goes with absolutely everyhting. And it lasts a lifetime.

there are a few Valentino's that are toooo die for! and i spotted a McQueen that is adorable...(:
I hate primark! Everything looks so cheap.
I'd love a Mulberry Bayswater too but in brown.

Great bag! My dream is a Birkin -- always in style.
i know everyone either has one, or wants one, but i really want a chanel 2.55, they're so classic! i have to own one before i die.
I've got a few - a 2.55 (durr), a Bogata Veneta and a Hermes Kelly or Constance! Oh that'll be a least £5k..yikes
I love (expensive) bags as well. I have for ever and ever wanted the basic version of that bag. To this point small blue Louis Vuitton Speedy is all I have (ebay <3). But there will be more.

That is such a piece of an eye candy!!! Fabulous!
I myself would like to splurge for a Chanel or Gucci at this moment but I'm being a good girl and still buying Furla, I got my fifth last week, I adore it anyway!
A Gucci would be lovely. *SIGH*

Prada bag.
the 2.55 :)
i would have to say 2.55 from chanel :D the other one could be Prada but i already got one :D
balenciaga motorcycle bag in the inky blue color...i am slowly falling in love with the balenciaga giant part time in anthracite, it's beautiful.

i looove mulberry bags.. good choice. i wouldn't mind the simple YSL studded Y bag too. xoxo
That's a good quote. I keep having to tell people things like that. It's frustrating that people want to pay NOTHING for goods yet at the same time it better be made under the most perfect working conditions ever, in a land of rainbows and unicorns, with health insurance for all. Oh, the CONSUMER is never responsible for sweatshops!
i'm more of a shoe girl so i literally don't know a thing about handbags :( i'd like to afford the studded alexander wang from last season though.

my dream it bas is te givenchy nightingale in black matte leather.
hmm, my fingers are so cold i cant even type properly! :/
Lately I've been wanting the Chloe Gemma bag. Olivia Palermo has it and it makes me grrrrrrrr. That's my angry sound.
I am not really into bags, I am more of a shoe person :) but I really want a balenciaga giant city bag, I guess I am influenced by all the celebrities who have them :)
Birkin bag!!!
Very Very Funny Post. Thanks sharing with this entertainment Blog.

Bags are biblical. I haven't been able to stop obsessing about Ralph Laurens Ricky Bag ever since i walked into RL in Paris.

Another Bayswater lover here! I'd prefer it in brown though. I also still like Givenchy Nightingale.
Very cool post man. Thanks sharing.

I think currently I am in love with the Wang Coco bag. But really, any of the Bottega Venneta bags would suit my style :)
One of my friends has a Mulberry Bayswater, and somehow I felt it looks a lot better in photos than in reality.
