New Obsession

I've always been obsessed with handbags, particularly silver metallic leather ones, but most recently my obsession has reached a new level. I am now obsessed with Chloe handbags. Before, I would have been satisfied with a Kenneth Cole or DKNY bag but that has changed since I discovered my love for Chloe.

Actually, the first time I discovered Chloe handbags was about 3 or 4 years back when I lived in NJ. I remember it as if it were yesterday. I was at Short Hills mall and I saw my first Chloe handbag. It was one of the camera bags with chain straps. There were actually a couple of different ones and they were all beautiful. They were made of black leather and had silver chain straps. I remember picking one up and looking at the price tag. They cost around $1500 or so which made me think I'd never have one of these but if I had the money I would have bought one in a heartbeat. I walked away and didn't think much of it again, that is until now.

I recently found and bought one of these on ebay for $350 which was a steal! I found it in the midst of a quest to find a more current Chloe; a large Chain Betty bag in either black, grey or silver, and/or a large Betty bag in grey or silver. These bags are from previous seasons so they're not as easy to find. The chain one is the most difficult to come across, at least if you want one that's authentic (found that out the hard way). Anyway, I am not giving up on my mission to find it. If anyone reading this has one they'd like to sell, please feel free to contact me. ;)

I am also seeking a pewter Balenciaga Weekender bag. Wish I had one of these for my trip to NYC this coming weekend...

Anyway, it's weird but I feel like in a way I'm becoming a purse snob. I even joined The Purse Forum (a website for bagaholics like me where we can discuss and obsess over our favorite bags). Some might say I need help but what I really need is a new bag. ;)
