Permalink Closed


so i've been looking for a white bag forever, and recently came upon the Gucci medium boston bag:



of course, i love the bag, but not the price tag.  however, it's everything that i've been looking for in a white handbag (i like that it's a tote so i can carry it when wearing a coat, and also how it can be dressed up or down), and i'm pretty sure that it's a classic that will never go out of style.  however, i can't help think that i can get these three bags for the price of that one:


             


 


what do y'all think?  is it better to get one classic bag i'd use forever, or three semi-trendy bags?

My problem is that I would fear the leather being such a light color that it would get stained so easily.  If I was going to spend that kind of money on a classy bag, I would get it in black or brown.


I think this Coach one is a more money wise choice for a white color:


 $328

I like the idea of the Gucci too but I'm not sold on that particular one I guess.  If you really love it though, I say go for it!

If you love (clearly you do ) and can afford, you should get the Gucci...it will be in style long after the others have had their time in the spotlight.

normally I would say go for the one you really love, but I agree with Cortney that the bag will probably show wear and stains really easily. So I would second the idea to keep looking and find something similar that you like almost as much that won't be so much of a drain on your wallet. The white bag I got last summer started looking banged-up pretty much instantly.

Normally I would say Gucci all the way.. But I'm not drooling over this particular Gucci style, like I should be. I would prob get the other 3 bags you posted. Although somewhat trendy, you will prob be ready to replace them by the time the trend is over anyway.

i guess i'd just get ONE of the three trendier styles (instead of ALL 3) to hold you over until you find the white bag of your dreams — unless of course this gucci is the white bag of your dreams in which case i say, go for it!

I say neither...because while I think you should get a Gucci..


I don't think you should get *that* particular Gucci.

I second that. I'd get one of the trendier bags and put the rest towards a non-white classic.

ditto. I'm not a fan of it anyway, but it reminds me too much of a cole haan from last spring that was like $300.

thanks all for the input!   i've decided to keep looking, cuz $1500 is a bit steep.  so maybe just one of the three cheaper ones to tie me over for now ...

I think you made a wise desision.  If you're gonna go with one, I highly reccommend the Kooba.  I love mine and I know lots of girls on here love theirs too.
