I like the launched of Coach the past few years but maybe I don't live in the US, prices are a bit steep!

[burberi]

If you can get your hands on Lancel during their sale, sulit siya I got my Premier Flirt for 13k, original price was 75k hehe

Where did you buy it sis?

[Heatherette]

^Got it here in Shangri-la. Nawala na ata store nila but they went on sale. Nagustuhan ko yung bag when I saw it in HK pero sobrang mahal pala niya. Buti ang mura ng sale dito haha

[Ireneeeeee]

I got a Rabeanco Lambskin Satchel bag yesterday. First expensive bag for me kasi 8k rin sya and hindi naman ako bag collector. Lelz. Gusto ko lang may pang alternate na more ladylike from my Kipling satchel. I was eyeing Fino too pero mas gusto ko designs ng Rabeanco kaysa Fino kasi mas versatile pwede na rin pang casual and travel.

I hope tumagal sya. Kapag tumagal, I'm definitely going to buy another one. Mas gusto ko kasi hindi masyado kilalang brand kaysa more popular brands kasi sobrang dami nang knock- offs. :< Eyeing on leather Fossil bags next pero ang bigat kasi nila kahit walang laman. Yun leather na long champs ang ganda rin pero too expensive pa para sa akin. Ipon ipon muna.

^ Guaranteed that your Rabeanco will be for the long haul. Proven and tested!

^^ mooncake and leaves, medyo bago pa lang Coach leather bag ko. Good to know na in perfect condition pa yun Coach mo. Hindi ba sya yun tipong nagkaka-molds or parang may whitish pag nakastore sa cabinet. Eto kasi napapansin ko lalo na sa leather shoes nagkakaron ng parang whte pag hindi nagagamit ng matagal.

Sis eischied_21, if your bags and shoes are prone to "molds" then it's not the bag per se, but the storage space. Seems like there's too much moisture than what is ideal, so you gotta work on storing them in spaces with little to zero humidity.

Furla and Longchamp for me.

^^^ did you buy Rabeanco in HK sis?

^^ I dont know this brand pero sale kasi that time tapos type ko yun shoulder bag kaya binili ko around 5K din and ok naman yun handmade quality. Nice to hear this sis! Hindi ako nagkamali Yes sis Im living in country with 4 seasons kasi. Actually yun mga polyurethane (sorry for wrong spelling) handbags ko like Zara, Mango grabe nasisira na hangang 2 or 3 yrs lang yun life period nila kasi sobrang natutuklap na yun skin sa labas. Kaya nakakalungkot din kahit mura ko lang sila nabili. Kaya as much as possible investing on leather and nylon bags na ako ngayon. Any tips sis for proper care sa bags?

[Ireneeeeee]

^I got it sa SM Aura lang sis. No time and budget to go to HK pa. But if given the chance bibili ako dun baka mas mura e..

[bluish_mommy]

^got a Rabeanco bag as well last year from SM Aura. ang sabi nung saleslady sa akin, P1k lang naman daw ang kinamura nung price sa HK versus dito sa Pinas, not sure how true.

I started with lacoste, then LV delightful, coach, dooney. Hopefully makabili din ng rabeanco, iba pa din ang leather.

Kate Spade! chambahan niyo sa website when they have patong patong na markdown, sometimes I get them more than 50% off original price and yung boutique products na yun ha, hindi yung galing outlet. Tapos ship through Johnny Air, still a lot cheaper than magpa preorder sa online sellers.

[burberi]

^Yup, I got leather sling bag and earrings for less than $100

[ohcmon]

Longchamp, Kate Spade, Coach, Nine West, Dooney and Bourke

I'm thinking of getting an LV Neverfull soon (my first "real" designer bag if ever) pero pinag-iisipan ko pa. Three domestic trips na rin kasi 'yun haha plus my bags are always so bugbog kaya parang nanghihinayang ako. #kuripot

[Aeary]

As for me, I started with Nine West and Longchamp. Longchamp I think sulit na talaga sya because it's spacious (you might need a bag organizer nga lang) and durable and Longchamp nylon bags are waterproof! Then I went for Michael Kors, Kate Spade, Tory Burch, etc.. I'm actually eyeing for a Rebecca Minkoff bag right now I just don''t know how to buy it since nga US-based (hehe). Now, I'm really really trying to save up for my first designer bag I have on my dream bag list (pero nga if di pa kaya, wag muna ipilit I can always go for a not so expensive bag because designer bags can wait).

[kikayako]

I would recommend Kate Spade or Michael Kors for beginners. They look sturdy and durable, well they are.

[Claireclaire757]

Lv neverful is my rookie designer bag. Hehehhee ive been changing bags eversince

[angelholics]

michael kors, coach 

[prinzesin]

Coach and Fino

[[-c-h-a-]]

Coach for me... although it wasn't my first designer bag. Naisip ko lang if we were to have a daughter, Coach ang unang ibibili ko sa kanya

I saw my post 5 years ago no, I won't get Coach for our daughter. Hubby and I are thinking about getting her the LV Favorite PM na nga e
