"Designer" Bag for Beginners

[melmedrano]

definitely Longchamp ang lightweight.

I'm enjoying my coach babybag in saffiano leather. Sobrang functional at madaling magorganize ng gamit. So far wala pa akong nakitang katulad ko labas. Hehe! :-)

[juliaroberts]

longchamp planetes - sobrang worth it. lightweight and heavy duty.
kipling bags are also okay.

[bluish_mommy]

got a couple of LC, aside from this one any liteweight bags pa na leather type naman?

[annamarie88]

Sakto naman may nakasakay ako sa fx ngayon, naka fake na LVoe. #petpeeve Hehe

Kung hindi afford naman kasi okay naman yung mga Nine West, Charles & Keith, Roxy, Steve Madden, Coach, MK, Tory Burch, Kate Spade, Anne Klein, Lacoste, Longchamp etc

My "designer" bags when i was in college na buhay pa yung iba until now

[melmedrano]

Haha! Sharing the same sentiments sis annamarie88. Kaya yung LV ko di ko na lang masyadong ginagamit sa labas... Mabigat din kasi. hehe! :-)

[abbeydasassy]

hahahaha! I'd rather purchase a bag na walang brand than a fake one. sorry not a fan lang :p

[melmedrano]

You're so right. Kung di nga ako binibigyan ng sister ko ng mga designer bags di ako para bumili. Haha! Kuripot lang. ;-)

Totoo yan mga sis! Haha

Tory burch, michael kors, longchamp.

I get them from HK, US and Spain. It's cheaper kasi when you buy abroad. Sobra ang mark up dito sa atin.

I really want a Kate Spade. My best friend had a friend who went abroad (US) buy for her. Mga 6,500 lang. Sa outlet. Sobrang quality. Ang ganda tignan, kahit yung lining sa loob. Tsaka mukhang matibay.

I prefer this to a monogrammed LV or mga Gucci. Although of course, talagang quality naman ang mga totoong designer bags. Pero for me, too expensive naman. Siguro if you get one at mga 20+k, bargain na yon. Even pre-loved, basta alaga, ok na.

this is so true!
nway, Coach will do for beginners. Quality rin

[bagaholic_chewy]

I think, good brands as "designer" starter are those American brands like Tory Burch, Kate Spade, Michael Kors and of course Coach.

[little_princess]

The American brands are for beginners but you do get what you pay for. Can't expect it to last as long as the other designer brands like LV

[bagaholic_chewy]

^ true. But for starters/beginners, pwede na. Madalas din mag-sale ang American brands so mas madadami mabibili to start a collection. Hehe..

For mas matibay branded stuff, European brands pa din generally ang ok.

I like Coach especially as of late since it seems that they're putting more effort in coming up with their own designs. They stopped pushing those Cs as well. Meron pa din pero konti na lang. As for quality, my leather bags are on average 4 yrs old and they are still in perfect condition.

I also like Furla. Cute ng designs. Gusto ko pa din ng Candy bag.

[sarsingkit]

I have an MK and Coach. Ok naman. I use it everyday but not entire year, tipong summer yung MK, winter yung Coach. And I make sure I store it properly. I wipe it with leather conditioner tapos balik sa dust bag. So far, 3 years na ok pa naman. But I also have "cheap" bags from zara and mango that I use from time to time.

I use to look at Marc Jacobs dati pero parang hindi ko natype mga bags nila ngayon. I like looking at Kate Spade kasi lagi sale. hehe. If I buy from Coach, MK or at the same range, I always look for leather. Hindi sulit for me, kung canvas lang tapos same price.

[eischied_21]

^ me too. I prefer leather bags na pero sana naman tumagal. I had Coach leather bag too. I will look for leather conditioner, thanks for the tip. Did you buy the one in Coach or any leather conditioner is fine?

^^ 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.

[sarsingkit]

sa Aldo ko binili yung leather conditioner. Same thing I use for my shoes. Pinupunasan ko lang before I-store.

[mooncake and leaves]

^^ nope, wala naman. pero i rotate bags din kasi as much as possible and nakalabas sila lagi. tamad kasi ako magtago.

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
