Handbag Wishlist

I am currently obsessing over handbags at the moment and I think the reason it is such an intense obsession is because I am compensating for never having had any interest in them before! I actually have a wishlist of handbags (and a couple of wallets/purses) written in the back of my planner so I thought I'd share them with you!  I have crossed off two on my list and I will have reviews of those coming very soon.  Okay let's get started...

1.  Michael Kors Saffiano Jet Set Travel Tote

Michael Kors Jet Set Travel Tote $349.95 AUD from Apple Store

This is the "laptop bag" version of the Michael Kors Jet Set Travel Tote, which is only available at the Apple Store.  It is the first of the two bags I have gotten already from my list and I will have a detailed review of this bag coming soon where I will talk about its function as a laptop bag.  I had been wanting this purple colour since they first came out.  Even though it is quite expensive, it functions as both a laptop case and a handbag for everyday use so it is really good value for money, especially considering the quality of the saffiano leather. 

2.  Rebecca Minkoff MAB Tote in Almond

This bag is the second of the two bags I have crossed off my list and more details to follow.  Most pictures show the bag as being quite orange but it is very much a brown/tan colour.  I love the Rebecca Minkoff MAB totes, they are so minimalistic and the leather is really nice.  

3.  Rebecca Minkoff Mini MAC

I am in love with this bag!  While the colour probably isn't the most practical for pairing with the clothes I own, it looks incredible and is definitely one I want to get in the future.  I have so many large bags as I tend to carry a lot of things with me but I think it would be good to purchase a nice quality smaller bag for going out at night or when I don't need many things with me.  There are so many other nice colours to choose from but nothing beats mint.  Rebecca Minkoff always does an amazing job with the hardware on her handbags.  The price isn't too bad either so I think this is a great bag to get if you want something nice quality and real leather, as well as a designer label.

4.  Michael Kors Mini Hamilton

This is such a cute crossbody bag but it is so tiny for the price.  While it is really good quality, you can basically only fit your phone, keys and a lipgloss in there so this is something you'd have to think a lot about before purchasing.  There is something so cute about mini bags though.

5. Louis Vuitton Speedy 35 in Damier Ebene

Okay so this is the most expensive of the lot by far.  I really am not one that would ever justify spending this much money on a bag but there is just something about this bag that makes me think it is worth it.  I had always told myself the only Louis Vuitton bag I think is worth purchasing is the Speedy because it is definitely one to go with everything and be a great everyday bag.  The price isn't too steep compared to most other Louis Vuitton bags.  I had never really been a fan of the monogram pattern of their handbags because they do look quite cheap so I had always been looking at the Damier Ebene and Damier Azur.  I was at University a month or so ago and saw a girl in my class had this bag in the Damier Ebene and it looked so great in person and such good quality, especially the hardware.  I think this is definitely the only Louis Vuitton I will ever have interest in and I think it would be a perfect everyday bag and last a very long time.

and some wallets...

There are also a couple of wallets I have been loving lately so I thought I'd include them in this post...

1. Kate Spade Heart Coin Purse

The colour of this coin purse is so fun and would be really great for Spring and Summer.  While I love my Louis Vuitton coin purse, I have been using it since 2008 and I think this would be a great purchase just to change things up a bit.  The quote just gives it such a nice minimalistic touch.  Just super cute!

2. Kate Spade Cherry Lane Stacy Wallet

Another amazing bright colour!  I have never had a wallet that isn't basically all black before and I really want to just get out of my comfort-zone with some bright accessories.  Again, I love the minimalistic style with the "Kate Spade New York" and the little spade above it.  Kate Spade does accessories very well.

Thats it!

These are all I plan to keep on my handbag/purse wishlist and I don't think I'll be adding anything else in the foreseeable future unless I replace something due to it being discontinued and sold out, etc.

Let's see what I end up getting and crossing off the list!  I hope you got some ideas from this of items you'd like to get :)
