I'm a fan of Aldo Bags...

(sorry, I cant get the pic on here)

This bag looks great in red:
ALDO Shoes Online Store - women's shoes & men's shoes, boots, sandals, handbags and more
($49.99)

And I own this baby in a dark brown (it looks a lot more presentable in real life..):

Passerby, you recommended this seller elsewhere but I wanted to post this bag here... I love this tote! I think as soon as I am able I'll order one for this summer. It's $55 on etsy.com. The bag is made by MarketaNewYork.

tlloveshim, good choice if I may say so. I'm thinking of ordering a small messenger from seabreezestudio although I really don't need one.

That is so totally cute! I love some of the purse designers on Etsy...there are some very talented folks.

I just stumbled across this on Amazon.com ($38 for both bag and coin purse)

Chinese food "take-out" purse and "fortune cookie" coin purse.

So cute.

Bagdemon, that coin purse is adorable!

Megan, I totally agree with you about Etsy. Have just contacted Yukiko of seabreezestudio about making a small messenger. My sis is going to hyper-ventilate when the bag arrives - she'll probably hack the PC to pieces so that I can't order anymore from Etsy!

I just had to include a GREAT cheap bag I got this weekend.
Macy's had their big "One Day" sale and all clearance bags were an additional 30% off.
I ended up getting his great Alfani Leather bag for $41!
I love the structured look to it and it's a great size.
I like being able to switch around from the slouchy look to the structured look.

tlloveshim · Jan 3rd, 2007, 01:42 PM

Great deal! congratulations! It's very cute!

Hands down - MELIE BIANCO!!!!! Yes, I own 7 designer bags, but I sometimes fill in seasonally with melie bianco knockoffs (I'm VERY picky though!). The last one I bought was the marc jacobs inspired stam:

purchased from Melie Bianco | Handbags | Purses | Hobos | Convertibles

funny, I almost get more compliments on the knockoffs
