"It" Bag for Fall '06 - Black and Gold

I love the black and gold bags that are popular for fall but am not sure which one I should buy. I was thinking I should get the Marc Jacobs bag, the quilted one with the gold details. What do you think? And how will it look with my couture clothes?

A woman of your social status and vast bag collection should definitely consider how well a trend will translate into your couture filled wardrobe. While the Marc Jacobs stam bag you spoke of is not our favorite, it is the trendy bag right now. So you have to ask yourself this, make like a teenage actress and go for it? Or buy a bag that has more substance? There is always the Chanel gold chain bag, this year it is in the form of distressed patent double flap that has a wait list a thousand miles long. Or you can check out miu miu's coffer bag in black and gold. It's more original and quirky (as you told me, quirky is the new hip) and will go well with all the one of a kind Prada items you have (I've seen both bags in person and the leather quality of the Miu Miu bag is far superior to the MJ bag).
