How many branded bags do you owe? Is it a waste of money to buy branded bags?


too many to count lah.

Katespader, how many kate spades you have?

by the way, why is this thread in the "matters of the heart", cause this topic weighs very heavily in your heart?
 
recently i saw a christian dior bag on reebonz.com going for $4,000. too expensive leh. want to buy cannot buy.

i dont own any kate spade yet. the image of kate spade is colorful and spunky.
 
1 Kate Spade laptop bag for work(hoping to own one more for casual use)
1 Gucci handbag which I seldom use except for formal dinners
1 Prada wallet which I use daily

No LV for me...too auntie
 
"How many branded bags do you owe?"

owe or own? totally different meanings hor.

to answer your question, I dun have a single one. and yes, I find it a waste to buy branded bags but that's my opinion. If u have the moolah, why not?
 
Money is MOST WASTED when u dun use it and die without using it.

it's possible that after your death, your money is used to change your children from good to bad.
 
new LV designs are not auntie .. just don get those brownish types with big big LV words all over the bag .. those are the designs which are damn auntie .. and looks fake too
 
LoL ya...agree that new LV designs are better but still..hmm...too costly for me...

I have never splurged a month's pay over branded bags though I know of women friends who do so. To me, money is most wasted if you buy something you regret later, not whether you use or not. Some people don't use their bags but they're just happy to keep them as part of their collections. Why not? Men also like to modify their cars and most of the time, these modifications are 'accessories' and not functional. Do we consider this a waste of $ too? I'll say to each his own and so long we spend within our means, it's always good to keep the $ circulating and contribute to the economy haaa

My monthly pay check goes out to maintain my car and guess being busy at work keeps me away from the malls so I generally save up more $ haa

Back to bags...I somehow love Kate Spade! They have the most quirky or retro designs and their bags are very durable so it's worth the purchase. Of course LV's super duper durable but it also comes with a greater price. Love Prada's leather too. To me, one or two prized possessions are enough to keep me happy.

Actually, the fakes are getting so good, it kills the motivation to go for these branded bags nowadays.
 
for me, the brand goes with the quality bah. I don't own any branded bag (Jane Shilton not counted hor?), but if I were to look for something that can last like 30 years i think i will get an LV. The stitching is also perfect....but price is horrendous :P

got any fine craftmanship items made to perfection at affordable prices not? anybody knows?
 
hweebs, quality doesn't have to come with the genuine stuffs nowadays. My fake soccer jerseys are out-lasting my originals. I keep the originals for collection nowadays and wear the fakes.
 
heya! im back, if u can still remember me.

watever brand, i think coach is the most nt worthy brand. regreted buyg their stuffs.
their price always go down & workmanship also not so good.
lv is good, workmanship, services also thumbs up. but too common liao, too many fakes.
personally, i find loewe a good choice.

I have 3 gucci, 5 LV, 2burberry but the LV n gucci were bought at discounted rates (friends working there) =D I think its a waste of money to buy at original price after seeing how the staffs handle the bags at work so if my friends nt wking there then most likely i will nt buy

Hi Seawaves,

WB, hows your trip?
 
hweebs,

can't be going be brandless if you are talking about soccer jerseys

Else, what soccer team would I be supporting then?

i have a few bags from LV, Chanel, Kate Spade, Gucci. Now i'm restraining from further 'exorbitant' purchases, at least for the next few months, since i bought two pairs of Christian Louboutins last month!
 
hi

interesting thread as i am currently also waiting to replace my coach bag (which is my 1st so-called branded bag) and cant wait to hv it changed. lousy worksmanship & quality sucks man!

dont know which bag to get cos recently everyone seems to be crazy over kate spades bags!

dont want to spend too much on a working bag as well.. else very heartpain if gets dirty.

is there any other bags within coach/K.S price? got one LV bag but that one only bring out during wkends :p

of cos my fav brand is miumiu but yet to own one :P
 
my wife has several coach bags and no issues with quality so far leh.

But frankly, its pricing locally is mark up significantly as compared as in the states.

LV pricing as went up quite significantly through the yrs. And the fakes are so similar to the real thing nowadays, it really devalue it.
 
Milo,

I have two coach bags too. I didn't state them in my list earlire because I feel they are poor in quality as compared to Kate spade, prada, gucci or LV. Yet, their prices are forever increasing...yes, marked up significantly as compared to those sold in the States. So I don't bother. Anyway, here's a reliable website to share with your wife. Can get cheaper (and original) Coach stuff from this website if she doesn't mind slightly older designs. http://www.shoeshoeslover.blogspot.com/

Actually they are not really old designs but they are certainly not the LATEST ones, if you get what I mean.

Don't think you need to buy so many.. around 4 bags can get a free bag liao..

And the Euro has depreciated > 20% over the last 12 months.. now the bags in europe really cheap..
 
Lot of LVs, 1 Burberry blue label, 1 fendi wallet, 1 ferragamo small item... eyeing on Kate spade

truly it is waste of $$ but cant resist, mostly are gifts ... ):
 
from what i read around the Ingterneck, the true blue fashionistas like Hermes Birkin and Hermes Kelly. based on what i read, those people who carry Hermes do not regard most other common designer brands as quality brands.

does anyone here own Hermes?
 
u can get the birkin left behind on the top shelf after the orchard flood... might have a 5% discount on it... hehe
 
i think i might as well get a brandless leather bag and write "Hermes" with a marker pen on it, Powder.

or better still carry the Hermes paper bag around, at least, that would be genuine, right?

i think i can buy a Cherry QQ with the 5% discount.

hehehe ...
 
the other day i went to try on a Patek, but the width of the bracelet is too wide and broad. doesn't look nice on Asian bone structure.

but men's watches are a different thing lah, for men big is ok.
 
your wrist must be really small... patek isn't big at all leh... u sure u tried the ladies? go try the Twnety-Four next time round... their men's watch too small for me... look girly.
 
haha I only have 2 black labels bought during my HM. not into branded really, more like for remembrance's sake hehe.
 
Shoes is my favourite topic! I have almost stopped buying. Now I get my shoes made. I have about a dozen pairs of dress shoes made.
 
haha I see...heard a lot of good reviews from friends who got theirs made there.

maybe one day if wife can't find anything she likes off the shelves, I may bring her there hahahaha...
 
Actually, I love a lot of things off the shelves but the fit was not as perfect. I usually look for designs not available in Singapore and ask them to make for me

If your wife works in CBD, very convenient for her to go to Leapin' Lizard.
 
well May, watch fashion has sorta gone on the Bigger sizes liao... ladies are wearing the 40mm Panerais, and men watches are moving from a base 44mm to even 50mm... i need a minimum 44 else it doesn't feel like a watch.
 
yes, they even have it in 60mm, that is frightfully big to me, it is like wearing a clock. agree that the fashion has been like this for a while now, but it doesnt look good on me.
