I’ve always been a bag kinda gal at heart, bags over shoes anyday! My dreams of owning a designer bag have existed for too many years now and I think it’s time I did something about that, right!? Being a Leo, I do have expensive taste and I do like a little bit of luxury so whilst a designer bag may require a good few wage slips, it is still something I am happy to invest in. You either get it or you don’t but for me it’s the kinda thing I like. Having got hooked onto luxury style YouTube channels which I mentioned here, I am ready to take the leap into saving for my first designer bag. So what is it going to be, well I thought I would show you some (yes just some) of the bags that have topped my wishlist!
Starting with the bag of dreams, a Chanel Classic Flap. Every bag lover needs a Chanel, right!? Now the price for Chanel is eye-watering and sadly it tends to increase year on year making it near impossible to buy one. However hopefully one day, whilst it is not on my immediate list (for obvious reasons) I will be able to visit a Chanel store in Paris (yup, going all out!) and pick up my very own. Then I will be one step closer to being LC, life goals right there!
Another bag of dreams that I just need in my life is the Saint Laurent Sac De Jour. This bag is simply beautiful, black grained leather possibly in size small please. Again it is one of the more pricier options on my list but having this bag would make me complete. Hopefully I can save up for this one once I graduate as a special treat cause you gotta treat yo self.
Now I mentioned that I prefer my bags over shoes but if there was one pair of shoes I would like to get my hands on then it would be the classic Valentino Rockstuds. Of course with those I need a bag to match, it’s only right! I adore the Valentino Rockstud Lock Shoulder Bags, particularly the light nude pink-y shade which would match my shoes obviously! The bag just looks so beautifully elegant with the gold hardware, I need!
I usually tend to avoid seasonal pieces and trend-led items and I would particularly advice to when opting for a spendy purchase however I have my eye on one. The Gucci Dionysus Shoulder bag is a classic but I have never really been a fan of the whole Gucci monogram style however I adore some of their Floral design options. It is a bit different and totally a statement piece but it is so beautiful! I have been actually really impressed by some the newer Gucci styles recently too!
Lastly, a much cheaper option than the rest, the Celine Trio. I adore the whole minimalistic Celine aesthetics and I just love how simple but chic this bag is. Everyone needs a good crossbody small style bag and this is such a great option. The three compartments is also incredibly handy but I can imagine pretty annoying when you have to get your bag searched! A good all rounder though!
What is on your bag wishlist?

Ooh a post after my own heart! 🙂 Beautiful picks. I hope you’re able to treat yourself after graduation – that’s a wonderful time to do it! My first HE bag was a Chloé, and I don’t regret it one bit.
That red Gucci is divine! Personally, I’m lusting after a Gucci Soho Disco, which is really unlike me as I generally avoid big logos:

I’m such a bag person – and tbh I think it’s a worthy investment so loon as you keep the bags in good shape! Getting a bag in Paris is definitely the way to go, also a lot more affordable ;). I have the Céline trio and it actually isn’t that difficult to maneuver around – you kinda get the hang of where items go. For example I keep all my lip products and hand cream in the very back pocket so the tubes don’t distort the front leather of the bag. I throw my valuables (wallet/keys) in the middle compartment and always check that it is zipped. And in the front pocket I’ll drop my phone in just cause it’s convenient to reach in and I can pat it quickly to check that it’s still in there 🙂 I also recently picked up a Chanel WOC and oh is it lovely – if you don’t carry much the smaller size is much more affordable and can fit quite a good amount while keeping everything organized. Wishing you the best to save up for it, I think it’s worth it 🙂

Bags really are such a great investment and if I get my hands on one then I am sure I will be caring for it every minute of the day haha! Definitely yes Paris is a good bit cheaper so it would be great to buy there but also for the Parisian experience of course lol! Ah that’s true, the Celine Trio seems really convenient and just such a nice staple! It is definitely one I want to get my hands on soon although annoyingly I don’t have a store near me so I will need to travel to get it! Yes I’ve seen the WOC, it is so cute! I also really like the look of the Chanel Mini! Thanks very much, I hope I can make a purchase soon!
