Hi! I’m new to designer bags and my first one is LV Damier Speedy 30, but I’m thinking about giving this to my sister and buying a different bag. I’m trying to decide if should bid on Black Balenciaga motorcycle bag, or the black Chanel bowling bag… coz seems like LV is getting old and Balenciaga seems like the new trend. I found some authentic new ones on ebay for half the retail price! Looks very simple but nice! my boyfriend’s telling me to keep the LV bag coz it looks expensive and buy her a different bag… any suggestions ?

buy the chanel black bag
Get a Chanel too many knockoff Lv’s so less exclusivety.
I am a HUGE Chanel fan — they hold up really well, i have several myself. I dont personally have any Balenciaga bags, but they look awesome! But if I had to choose, with my experience with Chanel, I say go for it!
I say you keep the LV bag. LV is a classic line that will never ever ever go out of style. I recommend staying away from over-pricey trendy bags, but if you are willing to splurge on a handbag pick a bag that is a classic and is sure to never go out of style. I’d say to pick the Chanel but it is very very pricey and the bowling bag is not really a popular nice bag. So stay with the LV you won’t ever regret it!
I would also agree with purchasing a Chanel handbag. They are timeless classics which you can carry to the office and to dinner. Balenciaga is my type of a bag only because I love casual handbags (eventhough I work in a professonal office) and only those “in the know” recognize this style bag.
Have fun shopping!
forget about trends – buy a decent CLASSIC handbag and it will last you for years and years and never go out of style.
Go 4 Chanel
I totally ♥ mine!
OH SO MANY CHOICES
It seems like you definately don’t have a problem picking great designer handbags however to be honest I happen to love some of the Prada bags 
You definately can’t go wrong with any of the ones you mentioned especially if your looking for a nice trendy bag but in my experience I’ve found that LV’s expecially don’t last as long if you use them a lot. I definately don’t think the LV’s have held up as nice as my Prada has. The zippers on the LV start looking dirty, old, and almost look like they are pealing and the leather near some corners starts to tear slightly and then there are the occasional white lines or scuffs on the LV’s perhaps you may have noticed some of this on your Speedy. But don’t get me wrong LV does make some nice bags as I have a couple however I personally like some of the Prada’s out there. All and all what it comes down to is your personal preference, all of these bags are fairly expensive so whichever one suits your taste I would get. I would recommend looking into a couple of the Prada bags out there either at a Prada store or even at a Neimen Marcus. You might find that you like those as well 
Also be very careful buying handbags on ebay as most, not all, but most are not authentic. Also if your looking for a good deal on a designer bag perhaps try and outlet for the store Fendi has outlets and my personal favorite for purses is the off saks 5th avenue outlets, which often has some Prada’s
Ebay is great for many things however designer purses is not one of them and its a shame for the people who are trying to sell an authentic one however if your like me it’s not worth taking the risk of getting scammed!
I hope this helps and BTW – are you sure you want to give away your Speedy? It is really nice to be able to switch between bags to suit your day/outfit and the Speedy is a very nice LV handbag
LV purses make me hurl. Really. As for the Balenciaga motorcycle bag, it has been around for 2 years now so I don’t think that would be a smart choice.
That said, my personal favorites of the season are the ’1692′ tan trunk bag () and the Elvie (both Alexander mcQueen). If you do not like those, you still can go for the classics, such as the Birkin Bag by Hermès, the Muse by YSL, the Classic from Chanel or the Stam by Marc Jacobs.
Oh and by the way, I **** you for being able to afford those.
Have fun shopping ^^
EDIT:
Isn’t it gorgeous?
