Women’s designer handbags are like dolls and playthings were to us as little girls growing up in poverty. They are things that we put on our wishlist hoping we’ll one day be able to get our hands on. But year after year it’s the same thing. No money. No designer handbags. Back in our childhood days, no new dolls and teacup/saucer sets. But we managed to survive not getting the dolls and playthings we wanted as children and we know if we never own a designer handbag it won’t amount to a hill of beans. But even so, we’ll keep on compiling those high end wish lists and werkin’ our bums off trying to get to the point where we can say, “hell no, I won’t spend $5000 on a bag”, and no one would be able to reply, “you couldn’t do that anyway. Your net worth is below zero.”
Charlotte Olympia, Alexander Wang, Kenzo, Valentino, Marc Jacobs — these are some of the names attached to Forzieri’s ‘Seasons IT-Bags’ showcase of women’s designer handbags.
We’ve taken a look at their IT-Bags selections and picked out the designer handbags we wouldn’t mind adding to our handbag collection.
If you’ve been following this blog, you know we don’t own a single designer bag (yet); but we do have many designer handbags on wish lists that are filled with things we hope we’ll be able to afford to purchase before we’re little old ladies with walking canes.
If you’re looking for designer handbags to purchase, you can find a wide selection at Forzieri.com. And during their Pre-Winter sale, you might even be able to score your favorite bag at a 50% discount.
If we were able to purchase any 5 bags from the Forzieri IT-Bags showcase, these would be the 5 designer handbags that we would purchase.
Alexander Wang Light Blue Mini Emilie Atlas Soft Pebbled Leather Tote
- Dual top zip closure
- Tubular top handles
- Signature prisma corners
- Adjustable shoulder strap with signature dog clips
- Suede interior
- Internal zip pocket
- Slip pocket
- Rhodium hardware detail
We just think this bag is cute. We love the color and the shape and the texture of the light blue leather. It’s a lot smaller than the bags we ordinarily carry; but that’s a problem easily solved by not using the bag for occasions when toting around the kitchen skin will be necessary. Bag comes with a $795 price tag.
Marc Jacobs Scarlet Red Textured Mini Incognito Satchel
- Double top zip closure
- Gusseted sides
- Exterior zip pocket
- Reinforced rolled handles with belt
- Detachable nickle locket and leather tag with snap closure
- Nickle hardware detail
This is another mini bag that probably won’t hold a whole lot, but it’s just so cute we would love to get our hands on it. We love the richness of the scarlet red. The bag reminds us of our days playing dollhouse. Comes with a $1,450.00 price tag.
Moschino Quilted Nappa Leather Golden Logo Shoulder Bag w/Chain
- Quilted Nappa Leather
- Flap top twist lock closure
- Large gold logo detail
- Chain and leather shoulder strap
This is by no means an every day bag. It’s bright pink with bold gold accents. We don’t have bright pink with bold gold personalities but nonetheless we’d buy this bag just to play Barbie dress-up. The bag comes with a $1,260 price tag.
Alexander Wang light blue Rockie Atlas Pebbled Leather Satchel
- Double handles
- Double top zip tab opening
- Studded bottom
- Two hidden pockets on exterior gusset
- Detachable shoulder strap with signature dog clips and patch
- Interior zip and slip pockets
- Rhodium hardware detail
We’re totally in love with all the Alexander Wang Rockie bags. We love the light blue color and the texture. This bag comes with a $795 price tag which is like totally reasonable. We’ve gotten to the point where we see a price like $795 attached to a bag and we realize you don’t have to be filthy stinking rich to be able to afford it. Of course if you’re filthy stinking poor a $795 bag is still well out of your reach, but you don’t have to get rich to be able to afford it. You just have to get to maybe the middle income bracket.
Alexander Wang Red Mini Rockie Coral Pebbled Leather Satchel
- Double handles
- Double top zip tab opening
- Studded bottom
- Two hidden pockets on exterior gusset
- Detachable shoulder strap with signature dog clips and patch
- Interior zip and slip pockets
- Rhodum hardware detail
Another Alexander Wang Rockie – a red mini that comes with a $595 price tag. It looks so tiny, like it’s more a toy than it’s a bag; but it’s so cute it’s going on the wishlist.
So there you have it–the 5 bags we’d buy right now off the Forzieri IT-bag list if we could afford to buy them.
