| These bags have been everywhere and back. Does that mean we should bring them into 09 or wait for their next lifecycle? |

Since the dawn of time have women felt the need to accessorize. However, if one is going to spend more than $1000 on a bag, then typically they would be doing that several times a year. If that's the case, then why are they still carrying the same bag? Is it because they are have become the ol' faithful bag? Or is it that there is perceived status symbol that remains? You be the judge.
First and foremost is the Balenciaga Motorcycle Bag. Seen by almost every celebrity from 2006 and beyond, this bag is without a doubt a phenomenal silhouette but has it been seen and heard enough?
The Louis Vuitton Speedy bag has been around for 75 years but we think that we can give this one a pass. Nonetheless, there are more 16 and 45 year olds with this bag walking the mall so choose wisely.
Finally, there is the YSL Tribute. We understand that it was time for a Tribute bag but did every celebrity run out and have their publicist make sure it gets gifted in time for them to walk the streets?
We cannot deny these 3 are gorgeous, well-made and iconic bags. However, one must decide wisely if they want to keep up with the Jones' or just have the Jones' all look the same.
