Hunt for a Designer Bag

Actually what do you define as a designer bag?

If it is in the 4 digit price range? or if the name of the bag is by a fashion designer?

I really don't know. But I have been having this urge to treat myself to a really nice leather bag. Well, actually it is not a new thought. Have been fiddling with this idea for I think a few years! Yeap... a few years! See how much initiative I have about getting something I want. The thing is that I have been looking around a few brands for a long time... and nothing really attracts me. Well, if I am gonna pay like something which is the amount I earn... I better think twice or more like hundred times before I make the purchase right?

Normally, when I am free or feel the urge, I just look at Ebay and see whether there any nice designs. Then, the next thing that comes to my mind is..."Is it a fake? How can I trust the seller? What if I am conned?"... that is a big joke walking around with a fake thinking it is genuine. Some more my hard earned money! So after all those questions circling in my mind, I just give up looking and I am back at square one. And end up with my usual bags from Jusco or Parkson...

My current bag is already falling apart (Jusco brand)...so I have to search again. I was thinking of Radley bags the other day... was pretty keen on them...saw that Robinson's was having a sale that day... but after seeing their collection, I decided to give that brand a miss. There is something I don't like about the leather they use. Or maybe the designs they had there wasn't very nice.

Then, I went to Kate Spade's boutique at the Gardens. Wow...the price also very nice. I wouldn't mind have splurged on her bags... but the current designs weren't very impressive. So, now I am looking at Kate Spade's bags on ebay...but there are alot of fakes for that brand. Sigh! Everything also got risk right?

Saw a Michael Kors bag too...nice and less than RM1K.

Possible candidate?
