Gift bags

Ladies, have you ever asked your boyfriend or husband for a handbag as a gift for your birthday or Christmas? Did you get what you wanted? I ask for a handbag on every occasion, including anniversary and I only sometimes get one. But I have to take him to the store and point out EXACTLY the bag I want, because I don't want a gift getting occasion wasted on a bag I can't use. I have compiled a list of handbags that would be an excellent gift for you, so direct your significant others here if you want a fabulous gift.

 

Guys, if your lady is a businesswoman, this bag is perfect. It will look beautiful with a suit and it's just plain fabulous. The label is discreet, but still evident. See, for us, handbags are a status symbol, so we want the label out there, just not in your face. This handbag is Versace Large Patent Shoulder Bag with Chain Handle. $1,730.

 

This one is great with a suit also. But it would work with any outfit, really. Does she wear jeans and heels? Get this bag. It's not exactly a gym bag, so if your lady is a personal trainer, pass on this one. This handbag is Christian Dior 61 Croc-Stamped Tote. $1,850.

 This is a great everyday bag. Angelina Jolie has one. It's a Valentino Histoire Braided Handle Tote. $1,795.

 

This is also a great bag. You can never go wrong with a gift from Gucci. Just steer clear of anything overdone, like tassels and big, gaudy studs. This is a Gucci Pelham Shoulder Bag. $1,295.

 

See post below for reasons. $1,930.

 

Do you really want to impress her? I haven't met a woman who does not lust for this purse. It's beautiful and feminine, like her, right? It's a Marc Jacobs Ostrich Stam (after one of the current "super models", Jessica Stam) . $5,500.

If you decide to venture into a department store to get her handbag, stick to the big name labels like Gucci, Fendi, Louis Vuitton, Chanel, Versace, Christian Dior, Prada, Valentino.

I know some of these prices are a little high, but she's worth it. I could have suggested the Hermes Birkin
