When I was in NYC a few weeks ago, most likely in a fashion week tizzy, I bought the Celine Boston tote. My personal style philosophy is that every woman should own a handbag she loves to death.
Two years ago I was lead astray and bought an used Hermes Bolidefrom a friend believing this was the ultimate handbag. At the time of purchase, I believed the "Hermes" label would give me "style" which is so incorrect, I'm ashamed of myself for every subscribing to such foolish thinking. Labels don't matter. Who cares if you fall in love with a bag from T.Maxx or Hermes, the point is to invest in a classic that's your style. It's easy to always assign "luxury" with expensive price tags, when really luxury is buying what inspires you.

My Boston tote is a gorgeous rich navy blue and makes my heart race every time I see it. Carrying this bag until I'm 80 and then passing it on to a kid or grand kid that loves it just as much as I do is a very likely scenario. They will ask, "Grandma - what's bag all about? I bought it in New York City in 2010 when I was 30 on my first visit to Fashion Week. It was a magical and powerful moment in my life."
