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

I own all different kinds of bags (several Coach's, Dooney, Minkoff, and one LV). Last summer I got a LV knock-off (black canvas, multi-colored LV lettering, chain handle). . . I think I got it for $40.00 from a client who sells knock-offs. ANYWAYS, I can't tell you how many people stopped me to ask me where I got my bag!!!! I even went to the LV store when I was on vacation while I was using this knock-off and the sales clerk went nuts over it! If you like it, that's all that matters.

I must give you credit for going into the store wearing a fake. That's so bold.

I own a handful of lower-end bags, but as long as they're of a good quality and serve their purpose, I'm all over it!

The one kind of bag I WON'T buy is faux leather bags. Don't know why, just feels like a thick plastic bag to me.

Of course. I used to own designer bags, but I'm just not in a profession where I can be carrying around expensive bags. Now I try to buy leather bags in classic shapes. I don't worry about the designer, really.

Since there have been a few showers where I live, I'm carrying a Peter Pilotto for Kipling nylon bag. And a few weeks ago I bought a black leather satchel by Warehouse. I find it refreshing to take a break sometimes from premier designers. I need a fix of both!

Definitely. I own lots of Mimco bags, a few Rebecca Minkoff, a Wittner bag and some completely no-name totes I got for a few dollars somewhere along the line. I buy my bags based on the quality and the aesthetics. Unfortunately all the aesthetics I've been admiring lately are premier. Sigh!

I have a couple of guess bags from when I was a young teen, a canvas tote from forever21 I use for schoolbooks and some random, handmade cloth bags bought from a stall during a vacation to the Middle East.
I also recently received a silver clutch from some random store as a gift because I thought it was cuter than a lot of designer bags out there.

But to be really honest the cheapest "designer" I use on a daily basis is Coach. It's good for bad weather.
I honestly Prefer LV as my everyday bag.
I've just grown out of cheaper brands for most part.
I honestly do find designer bags are much better value..LV lasts forever. My mum has some from 20+ years ago that still look quite good.

I used to own a few Louis vuitton but sold them to pay for more important things.
I usually just stick to bags under $200 now, something a student can afford.

I'm not a student... but DITTO!

I had some LV bags and just realized I really don't need an expensive bag and would prefer to spend my money on other things. I still love the quality of the high end bags, but my lifestyle really does not match up with them.

I love my Lucky Brand bag I'm carrying right now. Under $200 and fits every aspect of my daily lifestyle at the moment!

I mostly carry leather bags, of any brand, as long as the quality is good. I try to snag them at TJ Maxx, Ross, etc. I have a few authentic Juicy Couture bags (purchased at the JC store) because I like the styling, but I got them on sale (like $60 a piece) and don't think they're worth the $200 full retail. I have some nice leather bags by The Sak (also from TJM or Ross) and get more compliments on those than I do on my Juicy bags. LOL!!

I have a cream organic cotton satchel in nautical theme and a coral straw tote for the beach from H&M. I love their eco line and I would never spend more than 30-40 euro on a beach bag. Both are gorgeous bags!
