		<description>I got my first designer handbag when I was 5!! my parents couldn&#039;t believe it when my dads business partner bought me a limited edition gucci bag from Milan. It took them a while to accept the fact that their 5 yr old had a bag worth more than some cars!!!!! 

My next few bags were when I was 13 (no they weren&#039;t gifts), a long champ foldable (paid for myself), a pink juicy one and a LV coin purse. And since then I have gathered quite a collection of bags, some I paid for myself and some of my Moms old ones :)</description>

		<description>Wear the Prada one when I&#039;m older. I&#039;m currently using the Miu Miu hobo. The Prada design is a little mature for me. However, for some odd reason, my Chloe Marcie mini bag knockoff from H&amp;M is giving the Miu Miu a run for it&#039;s money! I need to use it again soon!</description>

		<description>My first designer was a simple, vintage brown leather hobo shoulder bag from Miu Miu. I know it&#039;s weird to speak of Miu Miu as vintage, but the person who gave the bag to me bought it when the label was barely born, so it was much cheaper than the prices now. My second one was also a vintage bag. It&#039;s a small tan leather and beige and purple tweed Prada bag. I think they&#039;re both amazing. I&#039;m 14 as of now, so I can&#039;t wait to wear it when I&#039;m older!</description>

		<description>I got m first coach bag from an outlet when I was 17 because I hate carrying bags. But this one was a purse as well as a crossbody! Then on my high school graduation party, my awesome cousins gifted me a LV globe shopper which I still have because its not made anymore. Now that I am still studying, I would rather save money for tuition fees than spend on bags. So until I am done studying and get a nice job, its NO to designer bags!</description>

		<description>I was 13 when I got my first designer handbag, it was a LV neverfull GM. I went with my mom to the city and we went to the LV store and I tried the neverfull on. She had like a good day and got me the bag, Now almost a year later I bought me from my own money a Speedy35 and a Louisvuitton scarf. To get them I sold some of my other stuff and went working. If you really want a specific handbag you can get it with alot of patience..</description>

		<description>In 7th grade I got my first Liz Claibourne bag and that was all I carried with maybe a Nine West or another cute bag I caught on sale until this year. I&#039;ve bought well over 50 to 60 Liz Claibourne bags in the last 20 years. My mom gave me a Coach briefcase when I graduated college. I loved it but I wouldn&#039;t have spent that much on myself. At 22 I looked all over town for Kate Spade (the bag was fairly new brand) and bought the classic black nylon bag. I felt guilty for spending nearly $200 on a hand bag, so I returned it. In &#039;03 I went to Vegas and came this close () to buying a LV but yet again, I just couldn&#039;t justify parting with $800 for a hand bag. This year I bought my first Coach. I&#039;ve always admired Coach bags but couldn&#039;t justify the price. I started out with a small signature wristlet and a large zoe signature wristlet to see how well I liked the brand. Later that month (in January) I bought a beautiful signature Zoe in burgandy for 1/2 off at Dillards. I fell in love with Coach after that purchase. I wouldn&#039;t use it for 2 months after I bought it for fear of messing it up. I ended up buying a Heritage swingpack because I thought it would be great for concerts. Then in July I came across a tan leather Parker hobo for 1/2 off at the same Dillards I got my Zoe. I also got a op art leah small tote for $47 (reg $150)! I was obessed by this point. So in August I found a sabrina satchel op art IKAT in gold for 20% and a bonnie lurex wallet half off. So I justified having it. Then yesterday I justified getting yet another Coach bag in black and walked out of the Coach store with a beautiful Garnet black signature lurex bag and a tribeca hot pink wristlet. I also bought a Dooney sweetheart tote and a Dooney wristlet too this past summer. As cute as those bags are, I&#039;m in LOVE with my Coach.

This year opened my eyes to why people buy designer bags. The quality is amazing compared to anything else I own. I&#039;m already eyeing LV, Burberry, Prada and Chanel handbags to add to my collection sometime in the future. I think my next purchase will be a LV (preferrably a tote because I carry a lot of stuff). I&#039;ve know people who have LV bags and LOVE the brand and have carried them for decades. My BFF lives near a great outlet and I told her we are so going to the Coach and Burberry outlet stores next year for my visit. The great thing about these bags that if you get tired of them you can always sell them on ebay and get some of your money back for that next great handbag find.</description>

		<description>I was I think 14 when I got a Guess purse that i was just crazy about, and now I wouldnt carry it if you paid me lol. I still get jeans and clothes from Guess but the handbags seem so cheap...the couple I have were maybe $100-$200 and have been banashed to the back of the closet since I got my pink dooney when i was 17. I used to laugh at brand addicts but When i got my first pair of Uggs (mocha upsides) at age 16, it created a monster. I&#039;m now the proud owner of a coach, a dooney, coach shoes, and 2 pairs of uggs, all promenently displayed in my room lol but what I REALLY want is a multicolor LV speedy and some burberry accessories...Oh and I have juicy perfume, a maxx new york bag, franklin covey bag, and suede wilson&#039;s leather bag...but they dont really count, and i guess neither do the Aigners... oh and i have a huge Vera Bradley bag I use as a backpack (im 18 and a senior in high school) I&#039;m SO jealous of some of you!!! lol I need to get some more modeling jobs so i can score my LV</description>
