Before I begin shopping for her, I have determined her style is rather casual and she wants a bag to tote around. With this in mind, we decided she should have a slouchy hobo which could be very casual and functional at the same time. Purple/berry bags will make a statement by the bright color alone so a simple silhouette is quite nice for an everyday bag.
1. Kate Spade Westbury $395 via Nordstrom2. Tano slouchy hobo $298 via CUSP
3. Marc by Marc Jacob Dr. Q Lil Riz hobo $428 via Bloomingdales
4. B-Low the Belt Rosa leather hobo $398 via Bloomingdales --- I like the silhouette.
5. Coach Brook hobo $358 via Coach
6. Furla $363 via Zappo
7. Beirn watersnake hobo $475 CUSP ---- This is SG's personal favorite, I am debating if I need one myself now. This bag is luxurious and functional for under $500.
8. Rebecca Minkoff $595 via Shopbop ---- This one is over the budget but we like the shape and the look of the bag.
We still have not decided on a bag yet but I am having so much fun helping her with this mission. I mean how savvy it is to spend other people's money and yet get my shopping fix. Is a berry color bag in the near future for you too?
I was very tempted by a berry colored bag the beginning of this season but I"ve put it on hold, because I'm still not certain how versatile it would be with my current wardrobe. Love this selection and my personal favorites are #7 and #8. I think #7 has the edge though... I love the watersnake detailing!
ReplyDeleteBerry is an excellent choice for fall and I really like your selections above, especially the Tano and Furla.
ReplyDeleteI'm in love with the Kate Spade one! beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI love #1 and #3 the best. Soooo beautiful!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful colour. I like the first one the most.
ReplyDeleteThose are perfect and would be a great addition to any outfit. The color is amazing and would pop with anything. #2 and #8 are my favs!!!
ReplyDeleteI love the classic Dr.Q.
ReplyDeleteI've got a Coach berry satchel, it's not all leather but I probably won't be buying another...though maybe a clutch...
i just fell off my chair. $500 is "not a lot"? are you people movie stars or doctors or something?? how about this one from Target or this one from Aldo or this lovely ombre python one from Buckle.com ? not that your picks aren't gorgeous, i just can't even imagine!
ReplyDeleteI would choose the Kate Spade one. I have it in Tangerine. I've seen the Berry colored one in person and it's very cute =) ~anh

ReplyDeleteI just caught up on your blog... I know you mentioned this about a zillion years ago, but ... your family owns a sushi restaurant?!!!! That's awesome. I know you don't usually do food on your blog, but can you give some pointers on sushi making?
