Hiya everyone!
As I packed last night for my trip to London, I realized that I my handbag collection is pretty weak. Back when I had a lot of disposable income (pre-cars and pre-mortgage), I used to treat myself to a new designer bag once a year. It has been a reaaaal long time since that happened! My last amazing handbag purchase was a bronze metallic Prada Vitello Daino bag. While I love it, it’s very “autumn” looking and it’s also very delicate (metallic leather does not like scratches!!).
So, I took a break from packing and scoured my favourite sites and compiled a list of bags I would acquire if I miraculously won the lottery – haha!
Enjoy!
Céline Trapèze Bag in Royal – I would probably murder for this bag.
3.1 Phillip Lim Mini Pashli
Fendi 2Jours in black
Classic Chanel Flap Bag in Medium – my God, I want this bag.
While we’re on Chanel…might as well throw in a cherry red Boy Bag! Why not?
Nice, roomy Proenza Schouler PS1 Bag in Medium
Celine Medium Classic Box Bag. I’d use this for life.
And lastly, a nice, practical Alexander Wang Prisma Backpack in Oyster leather!
If you had unlimited funds, what bags would make your wishlist?? Please share in the comments!

Cute bags! I love the Chanel ones! 🙂 xo
Author
Me too! Mark my words, Katie. I. WILL. OWN. A. CHANEL. BAG. (One day – let me sell a kidney first – sigh)
Oh I know what you mean. I always thought it would be so neat to own a nice bag like that someday. For now I will stick with bargain bags lol. 🙂
Author
One day, right? ;o)
I want a Mulberry bag!! That Celine one you posted is a timeless beauty though… love it!
Author
Ooooh. I have a Mulberry “source”. I’ll send ya the link! ;o)
No murdering anyone for a handbag!
I like the Fendi 2Jours best but I’m boring. 😛
Author
Haha! Promise – everyone is safe! Lol! I LOVE that Fendi bag. So feminine. I looked at it and it comes in 2 sizes (that I saw). The large is humongous.
I really loved that Fendi bag, it’s so my style?
Author
Omg. Love it too. So lady like!!! I wish we could have them all!
Celine’s bags . Love ! My next bag to get would probably be one of the recent shoulder bags by YSL. I’m not sure which yet. Still on the hunt ! Fun post 🙂
Author
Thanks babe! I know those YSL’s – very nice!!!
Ah, that Fendi piece … Love. You compile a beautiful wishlist, lady. 🙂
Author
Thank you, my dear!!
Probably some Louis Vuittons. I like the Fendi 2jours and Celine on your list.
Author
Thanks! I agree. I’d love a whole set of LV luggage!!!
I really like the Celine bag, it’s so simple and chic! On another note you’re coming to London woo! Hope you enjoy you’re trip 🙂 Jay x

Beautiful choices! I’m a fan of Chloé and Givenchy, myself.
Author
Thanks! I love Givenchy, personally. Busch great accessories! I would also love a Givenchy Pandora bag.
Pandora’s my fave! I was able to splurge on a Pandora in France a couple of yrs ago (hey, it’s less expensive there!) and it’s wonderful. Now to save for a Nightingale, haha.
Author
Thank you! We had a look at it (in a different colour) here in London at Selfridge’s! Gorgeous!! $$$$
Author
Hi fivezero! Love the Pandora too! They are such a cool, unique shape! Love the Nightingale too. A friend of mine has a beautiful one in purple!
That sounds like it’d be amazing!
That Celine Trapeze is absolutely everything…the color is amazing. Of course you can’t ever go wrong with Chanel…love the cherry red.
A Mackage bag is on my wish list? http://www.erinnwith2ns.wordpress.com
Author
Love Mackage! I have a couple of their leather moto jackets!
Jealous!?
Great selection! I do understand the pre mortgage and pre cars part. You deserve a treat once in a while though. Take care of you.
Cheers, Mojisola

Haha! Thanks! Maybe you and I can convince my husband of this! Lol! He’s very “You have a thousand bags already! Why buy more?” – lol!
The boy bag is on my wish list too – such a beautiful bag. Great for casual or formal and just steps out of the classic quilted Chanel look. A couple others on my list are Balenciaga Giant City and Chloe Paraty. Oh the list is growing!
Author
Hahaha! I looooove the Balenciaga Giant City! I need to check out this Chloé bag!! Thanks for checking out my post! ;o)
If I had unlimited funds… I’d buy the extra large Dior gaucho bags – in all colours. 😀
