Do you own any non-designer/non high-end bags?

I have several cotton canvas Gap messenger bags that are TDF cute. They're easy, they're very well-made, and they look so good on me!!! :girlsigh: I take them out to the beach, whatever and plop them in the wash when they get dirty. :yes:
 
I think it is smart of you to carry cheaper bags while trying to save for tuition. High end bags are getting much more expensive. I have a spectrum of handbags low end to high end. I like unique bags and I seem to get many compliments on my low end as well as my high end. Carry your bags with pride and don't worry about what everybody else has...:smile1:
 
No...I'm really a snob that way. Even a canvas tote to carry juice boxes in is a mark jacobs with a red phone box and t rex on it!! (Though i don't really like MJ!) LOL. Though on second thought, I do have an awesome via spiga clutch I love, even though it was under $100. It has survived many rounds of closet cleaning!
 
I just got this from the Gap - and I love it! I'm carrying it for the first time
today with a yellow top and jeans, and it matches so well.

The colors are nicer in real life......at 19.99, how could I go wrong????

This is a really cool thread. I can't believe it's been going since 2006.

I still own the first bag I ever purchased (in my teens), which came from payless. It's cute but I grew out of it. I have a gym bag that I got for free with a cosmetics purchase. My laptop bag has my company's logo on it. Let's see... there is also a record carrying case with a skull on it made by Diesel Sweeties. And lately I carry a tote by Noon Solar as my throw around bag--I like that I can charge my phone on the internal battery hooked up to the solar panels.

I finally have almost all of the designer bags I wanted, but now that I have them it's like I can carry them anytime. I used to want to carry whatever my best bag was all the time, now I like to switch it up.
 
Most of the favs in my collection are vintage ones that I've picked up at random places along the way. Usually $20 can get you something very unique and fun!

i can't agree more. I have found some vintage exotics on ebay that i have paid 20 or less for, and i get so many compliments on them! I love some of them more than my higer end bags.
 
I am glad that I found this thread today. Although I have quite a few coach bags and some mbmj bags which really are not very high end. I also have several bags from nine west, juicy couture, and big budda that I really love. And occassionally pick up bags at target. Who can pass up a cute $20 bag? It makes me feel better that i can at least get something when I cannot afford what I really want.
 
Oh Wow, thank God, I was beginning to think I was the only working class person on earth or at least in here that did not own $1000.00 and up handbags.
Sesrup:

There are many of us here who don't own a single LV, Chanel or YSL. It's fun obsessing about those bags - but my most expensive bag cost about $400 and I even agonized over that purchase. Personnally, I love shopping the end-of-the-season sales at Saks - especially once things get down to 50% off the already marked-down price! I think you'll find that the PF is a great source of info on great bags at all prices. Check out some of the threads on great summer bags under $150.
 
One of these days, I will have a Bal bag and maybe a LV Galleria GM. I go for shape. Genuine leather only. My bags are Via Spiga (sold 1), Adrienne Vittadini, Gianni Bini, Cole Haan, Antonio Melani, Kenneth Cole, The Sake, Regina. Some high end designers I like are Bottega, Balenciaga and some of LV. Perhaps one day I will have one. Right now I am in school for my third career. I am not fixed on any one specific designer. My tastes vary. I will post my bags one day.
