I have a lot of non-designer bags from various stores. I see a lot of girls wearing fakes and I never did that. There even is a forum of fake lovers of my nationality which makes me sick. Out of designer bags, I do own three Roccobarocco bags which is probably not very popular here, but in Poland is considered exclusive, as there are only few stores selling them and usually there is one unit of a certain model 
I have a few of "The Find & Charlie Lapson" handbags I purchased from a tv shopping channel but it's really all about what floats your boat instead of trying keeping up with the Joneses..............Just my 2 cents 
of course! honestly, i will buy whatever brand, wherever its from - as long as its cute & unique. i have bags from h&m, target, those no name bags sold at the kiosks in the mall, daffys, the gap, liz claiborne..i like to mix high/low -- yet i still drool over bottega veneta, givenchy and gucci bags...same thing with shoes, i have these shoes i bought from payless which get more compliments than a $800 pair of yves saint laurents...:tpfrox:
I do and I love them too. I have a great Gap bag I got more than 10 years ago for less than $10 bucks 
It's a cool straw bag with a wood handle.
I also have two Ann Taylor bags that I love.

Oh yes! I pretty much never used to pay more than $40 for any bag, and I never really bought that many before my bag binge of 2008.
I probably would not buy a designer fabric bag unless it's a Gucci logo print one that reminds me of my mom, or some type of formal professional tote/brief type thingy. The fabric bags I have tend to be well under $100, or gifts.
Today I'm using an Aldo shoulder bag that is a deep indigo ultrasuede with bronze grommets and studs. I love this bag -- it is truly me, and probably what set me off on a higher-end bag search. I think I've been using it for almost a year.
The other fabric bag I depend on occasionally is my Logstoff messenger bag that a friend bought for me in Germany. I'd get lots of compliments and "where'd ya get that?" when I used this everyday. This is similar to my style, but mine is bright yellow with grey underside and interior:
I really want to get another one of these. While the material has held up really well, my sunshine-y yellow has become reeeeally dingy!

Most of my collection is non-designer and inexpensive. I'm gradually weeding out my lower quality bags for better ones. Because I fall in love with the bag and not the designer, I've made some impulse buys that have proven to be really foolish. It's no fun to have a handle break. If that happens with an expensive bag, usually the company will stand behind their product. If that happens with one of my Target bags that was on clearance, I am out of luck.
I love bags of all sorts! I found an adorable bag on a vacation once... a black satin hobo with pink, white and black ribbons across the front and as tassels on one side. I could probably sew it myself and it was only like $30! It's a great memory and it is super adorable! I think if you like the bag then don't worry about the brand!
