LoLa's Closet - The Perfect Handbag

Recently I had an awakening, and started to appreciate the shopping philosophy: Less is more. I have for quite some time been considering selling all my bags, and spend the money made from my old Balenciaga, Prada and Botkier babies, on one new fabulous stylish bag! However, I find buying a bag really difficult. For a lady a bag is such an essential part of your wardrobe, and you would want one that can be styled in various ways.

The models I have been considering are from: Chanel, Balenciaga, Bottega Veneta, Celine and Givenchy, but which one is the bag that can fulfill all the criterions I have set up? I wonder if the optimal bag is even possible to find...

Chanel is the classic, but also the bit boring choice, as too many fashionistas have lived 6 months on oat meal to invest in a Chanel.

I have always had a love for Balenciaga, however I recently purchased a mega hardware clutch, thus it might be unnecessary to purchase one similar...BUT it is just soooo cool!!

Bottega Veneta is such beautiful craft and quality. It is the essence of sophisticated luxury! Timeless, sophisticated and quite anonymous which I like - no bling bling details to disturb the look of your outfit.

Celine is also really a stylish brand, and a bit more sophisticated than many other luxury brands. Celine has really got a revival amongst fashionistas after the entrance of fab Phoebe Philo, and therefore I have a bit of fear that the brand will be seen everywhere within too long.

The last finalist is from Givenchy. I love Givenchy's bags - so elegant and easy to fit with a classic- or rock'n'roll outfit!

Oh well, I wonder if I will ever be able to decide which one should be my companion for the next season... Any good ideas on how to make a choice? If so, please share!

LOVE LoLa
