Labels or love?..something you actually love...

I can not even count on one hand how many times Ive seen a celeb with a bag, and wither it's Chanel(which I happen to love) or Coach, it is not the best construction or design. So I wonder.. do you go for the design or the Designer? I have to say Ive seen the celebs with truly horrid bags, and I am not going to even front, Ive seen many a few Chanel bags that well.. look all the same. I watched an ep of "the hills" ( yes shoot me now) and one of the girls, Heidi I think, had the most gawdy Chanel bag, so I looked it up... 5000$. Yes, you read, 5,000 Samolians.
It is insane, i have found so many amazing bags on Etsy that, are just truly droolworthy, here are a few:


I love this bag that was featured on the front page the other day. It just amazes me the talent they have to make these bags! Now that doesnt mean that Id pass on a Chanel bag or anything, pay 5000$ now that is what I would pass on..

I just put up this anklet that has a bit of a back story, the lady who wanted to buy it(it was a custom piece) who gave me full design power, decided she didnt want silver, she wanted gold. I was kinda annoyed at first because usually when you give someone full creative force, well.. it means you are letting them do what they want. So I ended up making a whole new one, and now this poor anklet has no owner.. yet. Because i was not blessed with nice thin ankles, i never wear anklets..ever. So to etsy, it goes!
