I was thinking about investing in a high-quality handbag, the kind of handbag you will use all your life, and maybe, if you are lucky, your daughters would heir... After that, I have realised how influenced by consumerism we are. Each season there are several "bags to die for", you spend all the season desiring that bag, and six months later, nobody remembers it, and nobody dare wear it because is completely inapropiate and off. That's why, if you are not rich, the best is investing in classics, those which you'll be always able to wear, no matter which the trends are.
Rules which make a classic:
1. It must be at least three years old
2. It must be from a consecrated house (Dior, Gucci, Chanel...)
3. Don't check celebs outfits when deciding
4. Better to buy it in a neutral colour (black, beige, brown) so you can wear it with everything
Gaucho, from Dior -my favourite-
Chanel 2.55, a new version of the classic
Balenciaga
Gucci
Birkin by Herm�s
Two examples of the ones which have been forgotten:
Stam bag, by Marc Jacobs
Spy bag, by Fendi
