52 Week Lolita Topic Challenge : Purses That I love

Today’s post from the 52 Week Lolita Topic Challenge is 27. Purses That I Love. I’m not really sure if this is just supposed to be ones I own, or if it can be any purses, so I’m going to start with my favorites from my own personal collection.

My favorite bag of all right now, is Innocent World’s Antique Book Bag. I own two, a brown one and a wine one. They hold a ton, they are cute, and they are pretty well made.

My next favorite is my Baby the Stars Shine Bright Chandelier Bag, which I have in black. It’s absolutely gorgeous and it’s pretty big… but, then handle doesn’t seem very strong. It’s also quite a few years old, so I worry a lot about putting anything heavy in it. Also, the side ribbons love to get caught outside the bag instead of inside.

As far as bags I like that I don’t own go… Angelic Pretty’s Twinkle Star Bag ranks pretty high, as does Innocent World’s Royal Crown Bag (Which I’m looking to buy right now if anyone is selling one in gold.)

However, at the tippy top of my favorites-I-don’t-own list is excentrique with their Victorian Doctor Bag and their Original Print Doctor Bag. Unfortunately, while the Twinkle Star Bag would was under $100 new, and the Royal Crown was just over $100, the bag here on the left is around $290, and the one on the right is about $340; so while they were available to purchase (and the Original Print one still is), I just can’t justify the price tag.
