The Hunt

The objective:
to help my friend find the perfect day-to-night bag


The parameters:
must be black/brown/neutral, must be classy, conservative & chic, not shiny


The price range:
somewhat ignored....{sorry!}

Your assignment: choose your favorites

*for the sake of unbiased judging, I have placed the prices to the right of the description, in white. First choose the bag you like most, then if you'd like to know, highlight the area next to the info for the price...thanks for playing!

*Update: My friend chose the Prada : ) She's treating herself to it soon...Looks like handbags will appear on many a holiday wish list this season!

The results:

jimmy choo, saba nappa hobo, $1,675

fendi selleria, $1,450

prada, napa small hobo, $950

be & d, garbo portfolio bag, $995

ferragamo, $1,490

Ooh I can't decide between three...I love the Prada, the Ferragamo and the Botkier. They're all fabulous though ;)

p.s. You are so sweet to say that, thank you, Ms. my skin glows like no other! ;) Seriously, I think even after I follow your tips, I don't think my skin could look like yours.
No, the closest thing I came to modeling was when I was asked by a Shisheido marketing director, who spotted me on the subway, gave me her card and asked if I wanted to participate in a fashion show in conjunction with a department store in Toronto. I agreed and the night of the show...I chickened out and never showed, LOL.

Hey look at that, the Botkier was my fav and not badly priced considering the rest of them. Woo hoo! Oh and I adored Anne's bow detail dress. I don't care what the naysayers said. : )

Undoubtedly the Ferragamo... though the Prada is a (relatively) close runner-up. Glorious batch, wish I had that kind of budget (or lack thereof) for the perfect handbag.

They are all oh-so-pretty! :)
But I'd have to go for Be & D. I'm not that familiar with the brand, but that bag looks so beautiful.

Oh, how i wish i can just buy a purse without thinking about the price! Those are high end stuff! I'm partial to the ferragamo but have u seen the new Marc Jacobs stam bag (updated from last year's)? Maybe too big for the occassion but a purse like that, I'll bring anytime, anywhere!

i bought my Givenchy purse over a year ago and have barely switched it out to another purse since! it's a great buy...and this brand is not knocked off as often as others.

The Prada bag. It's just so effortlessly chic. Classic. Lovely. I LOVE it! (I must admit, I am partial to Prada).

I love the way you put the prices in white! So clever! I must try this! I will make certain to give you the credit though; what a super clever idea!
