I am pretty fussy when it comes to buying new handbags, and they often take me a long time to find.  My requirements include:

1. It needs to be leather
2. It needs to be able to fit my life it it
3. The hardware needs to be silver to match my jewellery
4. The design needs to be something unique (I don't see the point in spending a lot on something that every second person has)
5. The quality needs to be really good, I am willing to spend more money if I think the bag will last

When I found the 'Pashli' in nude by 3.1 Phillip Lim, I knew I had to have it.  I'm not really into 'it' bags but the classic style of this one really appealed to me.  I was particularly wanting a tan bag, and trying to find one that has silver hardware is surprisingly hard.  This one met all my requirements and luckily for me, when I emailed the 3.1 Phillip Lim online store (who had sold out of this colour online), they informed me that they had one left in their warehouse, it was meant to be!

One week in and I am officially in love with this handbag! I'm so glad I decided to spoil myself and buy it.
