Everytime I come across a beautiful pink bag I must write about it, and this time the beautiful pink bag is by none other but Christian Dior. The bag is called the Dior Cannage Drawstring Medium Shoulder Bag and it’s stunning. I’ve never been one into drawstring handbags but this handbag is making my heart swoon, but I’m sure it’s just because it’s made in my favorite color ever. The handbag is made with quilted lambskin leather that has a tonal cannage pattern embroidery, and features aged metal hardware all over the handbag. I would consider this a plain bag, but when I saw it in pink I was drooling. If you do not love the Dior Cannage Drawstring Medium Shoulder Bag in pink, it also comes in beige, red and white. I will admit the shape of the bag is a little bit odd, but if you love drawstring style handbags you will love this bag. The inside of the Dior Cannage Drawstring Medium Shoulder Bag is quite handy giving that it has a cell phone, pouch and zipped pocket. Very cute handbag, but I’m not sure I would wear it much.

The Dior Cannage Drawstring Medium Shoulder Bag retails for $1,450 over at eLUXURY. It is a steep price but, considering that the handbag is made by Dior which is made in Italy, I’m not too surprised. It’s an adorable handbag and comes in different colors to fit your style. If you have the extra cash to spend, I would say it definitely is a stunning handbag to add to a collection.

Louis Vuitton have never been more popular than they are right now.  But believe it or not, Louis Vuitton Mongram Speedy Bags have been the “it” bags for over 50 years now…

The size of the bags varies from Speedy 25 to Speedy 40 and so does the price: $675.00 – $750.00, they are available in Louis Vuitton online store, but I am sure you will prefer to buy your LV in a Louis Vuitton boutique near you.

2. Chanel 2.55 Flap Bag

Awe… Chanel 2.55 is the queen of designer handbags… It’s so stylish, it’s breath-taking.  They are twice as expensive as Louis Vuitton Speedies and they are too so worth the crazy price.  These beautiful bags come in different colors and in 3 sizes – check out the size/price chart at the bottom of Chanel 2.55 – Pure Classic post.

3. Dior Black Quilted Patent Lady Dior Bag

Yet another stylish, timeless classic.  This Dior bag looks stunning and it can be worn with anything, which makes it a fantastic choice for your designer bag collection.  It comes with golden hardware as well, in case you are looking for something dressier.

For the price of $1800 you are getting one of the most fabulous bags out there.  And by the way, the beautiful classic Lady Dior bag comes in white patent leather too for those hot summer days and vacations (sigh)…

4. Hermes Birkin Bag

This is the bag you have seen on the most stylish celebrities.   Although this bag is definitely not my style, I can see why women want to shell out $6.000.00 – $15.000.00, depending on the material, for a bag like this.

Located in Paris, Hermes issues only 5 (!!!) Birkins a week – the waiting lists are endless, of course, and that’s what makes them even more desirable.
