Does your Mom carry a designer handbag?

My mom has been carrying designer handbags for as long as I can remember; I'm sure that's where I got it from! She used to mostly carry Coach but now she's more into Tod's and Nancy Gonzalez. She's never really been into Louis Vuitton like I am but she just got her first LV the other day and loves it, so hopefully she'll cross over to that too 
.
.What a great thread!
My mother just turned 70!
She's still carrying designer bags - especially her Diors.
She was the one who got me hooked as she purchased my first LV pouch - perhaps 30 years ago. I didn't know what it was lol. I don't think it even had a dust bag , I don't think they had them back then.
Also I'm a mom and YES YES

My mom thinks its ridiculous how much I love handbags and how much I'd pay for them...though she has begun respecting it more lately since she sees its not just a passing fad for me. As for what she carries - more around the Ralph Lauren level, she'll pay for nice leather but certainly not over a hundred or so dollars. Though she recently broke this rule and bought a Coach!
My mom carries some designers -- currently Coach and Fendi -- but they have been purchased for her by my sister or me! I think that's a pretty good deal for her! LOL.
My mom doesn't carry designer handbags, but loves looking at them and window shopping for them. She isn't the type who would spend a large amount of money on a handbag, but she doesn't mind if I do because she knows that I worked hard for my money and that I won't buy a bag if I have something more important to pay or save for.
She wants a Damier or an Epi Louis Vuitton...She just got a huge raise (Basically twice what she used to make) so she's deciding what to do with the extra money on her first paycheck...I'm trying to convince her to buy a bag, but she's talking about boring things like pots and pans and plants, lol

My Mom would never carry a designer bag. She thinks they are too much money. She could afford one, but spends money on other things - property, travel. I am the only one in the family fashion obsessed. It started when I was 12 when a neighbor started giving me Vogue magazines . . . I poured over those magazines for make up and style ideas . . . and even then I was finding a way to create those looks . . . it was just in me.
My mom doesn't really like purses, let alone designer bags. She carries around a purse until it falls apart and she will only buy a new one when she sees one on sale.
I don't know where I got my purse obsession from.

It was a gift, and she thinks we spent too much, but she loves it!
My mom has always bought no-name bags from JC Penney or Kohl's, but she tries to get the ones that are real leather. Her everyday bag is a dark brown satchel that she got for $25 (it was 50% off) at Kohl's. It's real leather and it's actually pretty nice for a no-name department store bag. The only designer bag she owns is a DKNY hobo I bought her for Mother's Day a couple of years ago. She saves it for special occassions. She thinks I am crazy to spend as much as I do on a bag, but always says that if I ever get tired of any of my bags, she'd be happy to take them off my hands!
