BR has some nice bags...I have a medium hobo from last years collection in a metallic bronze...they have come a long way and are now trying to compete with designer/higher end bags. The SA at BR told me that they use the same leather that Prada uses...not sure if it is true and I was carrying my Prada hobo at the time. Nonetheless I do like BR handbags but, not as much as Gucci.

Funny, I can see bits and pieces of Prada bags as well as others, in their fall collection!
 
I think the lovely thing with BR is that you can always find coupons for them if you look...that way, if you're unsure about wanting to spend the money for their bags, you can get a great deal. They have come a long way with their bags since they started the line.

I remember there was a collection of small accessories last year that used the same leather as Prada. It was the really light leather with the cross-grain leather on it that Prada uses for card holders and wallets.

The SA mentioned Prada and told me they were not suppose to tell people about the fact that they use the same leather witout the same price tag...who knows...Prada is definitely higher end...BR has a good price point
