I’ve always been a bag lady, haha. When I was a kid, I used to carry around totes filled with… I’m not sure what, actually. Stickers? Crayons? Barbies? Nothing but the essentials, I’m sure. Now that I’m an adult (#questionable), my closet is overflowing with purses–satchels and clutches; totes and shoulder bags. I clearly have a problem. ;)
While I tend to go for less expensive purses, I’m starting to think that owning a single investment bag–a classic one that goes with most of my wardrobe–might be better than owning a dozen others. Maybe it’s because I live in a small apartment and closet space is tight, but I’m really into the whole “less is more” mentality this summer. So much easier. What do you guys think?
Anyway, below are some of favorite luxury bags from Barneys! (One of my favorite things to do in New York was drool over them as I wandered through through the Fifth Avenue location. Google tells me that there’s a Barneys on Oak Street in Chicago, too. Phew.) Which one would you go for?
Oh–and be sure to check out the store’s designer sale, which is going on for a limited time! (Up to 75 percent off!)
Oh my goodness, I want like every one they are so pretty! Especially the white barney’s one.

I understand, however, it is hard to beat a Kate Spade or Tory Burch for function and fashion.
I’m with ya. ;) I’ve always been a Kate/Tory girl!
The Saint Laurent pick will surely be a classic!

I think if you’re going to spend a lot of money on a bag it needs to be a classic item you can have forever. I invested in an expensive black and brown leather bag that I can have with me for years to come.

Definitely agree. I think if I did it, it would be one of the brown ones I featured above. Something classic, that would go with everything! My sister-in-law has one in brown that she’s carried for years, and she has zero complaints. Not sure whether I’d be able to commit, though, haha ;)
I have always wanted that crossbody chloe!

I totally agree that less is more when it comes to fashion. I think investing in classic pieces is a must, especially when it comes to handbags!
love all the choices!!!

Beautiful bags! I’m actually not much of a bag lady (I own three…haha), but I’m hoping to pick up a nice black and a nice cognac bag somewhat soon-ish. :)

love the dark Saint Laurent bag! I really like the Chole bag too, I love the shoulder/satchel version too!
I think getting a luxury bag is great idea! Go for the Saint Laurent in the 4th row!
