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

The only designer bags I own are probably michael kors or coach which aren't really considered designer bags. I've ordered some leather bags off korean shopping web-sites and have received many comments on them - whether at work or when I'm out with friends. They are unique designs since i don't even like knock-offs. I am more of buy real or non-designer bags that have good quality.

Hah! I thought I'll never go back to mid-range/ non-designer bags after all these high ends in my collection, but I just bought my first Dooney Bourke Alto bag yesterday in Red Saddle bag. The quality on there Alto line is really impressive, Made in Italy, gorgeous Classic designs, clean & simple look.

I really love this but bought the RED in the store: http://www.dooney.com/OA_HTML/ibeCCtpSctDspRte.jsp?section=49144

Im 20yrs young too and I have a minimum wage job on the weekends, but i tend to save up if i want a really nice bag? Sometimes Gucci has sales which are a real bargain if you head in and see something you like. But other than that, no its not always high end bags that Im into. I tend to go for quality and style even if they arent exactly high end. My first 'expensive' i bought was a Juicy Couture bag which I had earnt when i first had my part time job at the age of 16. My everyday bag that i use alot that doesnt require alot of babysitting would be my Fossil leather bag.
I think high end bags are just for those special occasions or as an accessory when you want to dress up your outfit. I have a few Gucci bags, but I dont wear them that often as I feel its abit dressy?
Other than that i think quality and style is what i look for even if it costs a little bit more and it doesnt have to be high end designer.

yes, most definitely! i'm from a blue collar family and i'm a 21 yr old university student so 90% of my bags are not designer. lately i've been using a black aldo bag, a silver tote i just got from the Gap and a harajuku lovers tote for school

As a student, I invested in a Rugby North America weekend bag for school/city/travel

Until very recently, it was my everyday bag for 9 years. They've since changed their company name, switched up the finish on the top grain leather they use and it's more around $100 more to buy the same bag today.

I calculated my cost per wear over the years, it works out to be about $0.14 for every day I've used it! :smile1:

Yes, quite a few. (I have really thin them out though, I used to have more.) I am none discriminatory. I purchase bags that I love and is functional. So the occasion arises I use them. I do a few more designer bags vs. none designer bags, now than before.

I think your new DKNY bag is beautiful! (I recall seeing your pic of this bag somewhere in one of the threads), it is no wonder people stare at it!:smile1:

I have been using my large black pebbled leather Longchamp hobo bag a lot these days. I bought it last year for travel purposes but I've found that its pretty good for everyday use as well.
That and my old Gerard Darel 24 heure black bag are my favorite non high-end bags.

My latest bag is this Mulberry Alexa Wanna-be by Melie Bianco. It is not leather, was under $100 and I like it anyway. It will be a great bag for rainy days, zoo days, park days and any other time I need my hands free or don't want to risk ruining my nicer bags.

I have some. In fact, I believe that if you are a true 'fashion' person, you can recognize that it is about the style, artistry, and quality, and not about the name. There are a lot of good quality, no-name Italian brands (as well as American and English) out there. Being non-designer doesn't necessarily mean being 'cheap' in quality. And sometimes I like my mid-range-bought-on-clearance handbags that I can throw around haphazardly (something I would never do with my designer bags). They look 'broken-in' that way :D
