Knowingly buying fake bags... So not what this forum is about.
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.
 
Am just a newbie here, i've finally admitted my overwhelming desire for bags beyond my means! I mainly lust Mulberry but to be honest anything nice would do! So far i've progressed from standard UK highstreet to the likes of Tommy Hilfiger, Guess, DKNY, Radley and my one MAJOR splurge was on a beautiful Bulgari black leather beauty ! I'm worried i've become a snaub already and i've not even properly on what i know will be my addiction yet !
 
Of course!!!! It doesnt matter how much or what brand it is!!!! Its the quality and how cute it will be whenever i match it with my clothes! I even have those hello kitty and mickey mouse bags!! It doesnt matter at all!!!! As long as it makes u happy and makes u feel look so pretty and cute!
 
I try to stick to "designer" bags but I will use bags that have no brand, or are a lower brand. I have a bag from Francescas that I fell in love with. I have gotten A LOT of compliments on it and it's made pretty well. It has a small tear in the lining but I have designer bags that have gotten lining tears.

I really like the quality of Coach. They are decent bags and have a decent price tag.

I have been trying to convince myself to buy a Louis Vuitton but after looking at pictures of "used" bags on ebay I don't know if I want to. All the used Louis Vuittons I have seen are in really bad shape and unusable. I don't know if they were rough handled or they just fall apart but some bags look horrible. Also they don't seem to be easy to rehab and it's expensive to get things replaced. I think for the price of Louis Vuitton bags they should offer some kind of warranty or allow you to replace the handles and zipper pulls once they become really dirty or break. Also why does the lining of Louis Vuitton bags become sticky and crappy? Ugh....I love the look of Louis Vuitton but stuff like that is putting me off from buying one.

Anyway I'm rambling.

I will buy a non name brand bag for using if it rains, on vacation etc. I have a bag I call my hippy bag that is just a plain blue cloth crossbody that zips closed. I bought it from www.gypsyrose.com and sometimes it's my favorite bag to use.
 
Yup. I own Fossil, Esprit and Roots bags (mainstream brands, nothing designer about them). I also own bags from brands I've never heard of, usually picked up from Winners. My designer bags are typically mid-range fashion brands (Coach, Mandarina Duck, Rabeanco). I don't own any premium bags mostly because I can't part with my money that way, or put another way, I'm not rolling in the big dough just yet to feel comfortable to purchase the Premier Designer bags. I'll never say never but in the foreseeable future, I don't think I'll be owning a high-end designer purse.
 
Most of mine are coach bought on sale or factory outlet. I am looking at buying a super large one for school from ebay for my school bags. I use purses less but huge bags more because it's usually all or nothing for me, so I need a big bag for school.
