Designer Purses: Do You Favor Restricted Editions or Classics?
Right here’s a bit query for the designer purse lovers (and the designer purse curious, ha): do you like restricted version purses or classics? What do you assume the professionals and cons are of every?
(Sure, sure, partially that is impressed by this afternoon’s Espresso Break, which is ah-ma-zing.)
I bear in mind being in my 20s and being blown away when a good friend — who I assumed was a fairly sane individual — dropped severe cash on a Murakami x Vuitton bag. I simply bear in mind being so confused on the time as a result of it felt like that was the type of bag you solely purchased after proudly owning an entire slew of traditional, been-around-for-years Vuitton baggage.

Lower to me a couple of years later after I purchased a black leather-based epi Alma bag — tremendous traditional… however boring. (It’s nonetheless obtainable in any respect the Vuitton shops and on-line.)
I nonetheless love my Alma bag — and he or she nonetheless loves her Murakami bag — however they match us in several methods. The Alma bag was type of who I assumed I needs to be; who I used to be making an attempt to develop into. Whereas the Murakami bag encapsulated lots of the joie de vivre I usually affiliate with my good friend — it’s quirky and insouciant and a bit witty. As we’ve gotten older, I’ll “match” the Alma bag higher than I did in my 20s, however it doesn’t actually say something to me apart from remind me of who I assumed I needs to be or can be. Let’s put it this fashion: I wore it to a funeral final yr and felt Very Correct.
On the flip aspect, when my good friend appears to be like at her bag, I hope it encapsulates that joyful, figure-it-out perspective that sure, you want in your 20s, however frankly serves you nicely your total life.
So I’m curious: should you’ve purchased restricted version designer baggage, which of them have you ever purchased — and why? Have been you an enormous fan of the collaborator? Did one thing concerning the LE bag communicate to you in a approach that the opposite baggage didn’t? Do you’re feeling just like the resale market is healthier for a restricted version bag? (Additionally, the place are your most well-liked locations to purchase such baggage?)
Pictured at prime: I don’t recall the precise bag my good friend acquired, however What Goes Round Comes Round has a ton of luggage from the Murakami/Vuitton collab — this one is offered for $8,650.
