Hello Purseholic

What is the hottest bag to buy at this moment? I use my bags for work and play.

Hi WLL

If you plan to buy only one bag now that lasts you for a few seasons ahead, there are some very good bags to choose from. Unfortunately you did not specify your budget but i will just take it that you make the final call yourself. Seems like budget is not the main issue here?

First up is the Louis Vuitton SC Bag. This limited-edition bag, one of the fruits of collaboration between Sophia Coppola and Louis Vuitton, has sent fans going crazy. Then again, what is not to like of this bag with its practical shape and size? It fits the daily bag requirements like a clove. I was so much into it myself until i realised that the size was too small for a man bag. Featured here is in beautiful red calf leather (USD3,730), also available in black, suede (not recommended for Asia) and Monogram Canvas (USD2,250).

Second is the beautiful Pied-de-poule bag from Bottega Veneta. I have featured this bag in one of my posts last month, please check the details here. This bag retails for USD2,700 while the full python version retails for USD3,400. Again, like i mentioned in my original post, the prices are exceptionally good for Bottega bags. The size is about the same as the Vuitton SC bag.

Up next is the Burberry Bridle bag that stole my heart. I think my heart is now back where it belongs but it still skips a beat every time i see this beautiful rocking bag. Something about the rivets and the leather that match the classic check perfectly and amplify its coolness. I need to stop here as i have gone on and on about this bag last month in one of my posts. Check it out here. Price of this tote is USD1,295.

Last but not least is the YSL Easy bag which has won the hearts of  many, including Lindsay Lohan and Kylie Minogue. With its simple styling, the bag is made to be a classic and is perfect as daily bag as well. I also love the price of this bag. The patent leather version starts from USD895 for small and USD995 for medium.
