At your age, I didn't own a single designer bag, either!
I still happily buy lower-end (I'm waiting for one to be delivered from a PF member, at the moment!) or non-designer bags, but I have to say, that once you have owned a gorgeous, beautiful quality bag (whether it is high-end designer or not), it is harder to go back; because you really notice the
huge difference in the quality of the leather/fabric and the make.
Although I may love the design of very inexpensive bags (often more than most designer!), I've become a bit spoilt :shame: and am usually only happy with the
quality of bags over $375.00, now!
I think there are a few true 'bag snobs' around, who apparently
only like
very high-end designer bags; but I think most of us are a little more flexible!
