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

Dollface, can you post pics of your vintage Chanel when you get it? I'm dying to see it 'cause I LOVE vintage bags especially Chanel, Dior and Roberta di Camerino....

I used to have "lower end" purses but I sold all of those on ebay already. I still have some Coach & Dooney & Bourke which I got from their outlet stores for under $100, that I still love & enjoy very much. I do have LV's now, but there's a lot of "non designer" purses I admire, like Baby Phat, Le Sportsac, etc

I love buying bags both designer and non-designer. I have several bags by Maxx New York, Kathy Van Zeeland, Coach and Dooney& Bourke. Nothing beats the thrill of finding a beautifully made bag at an amazing price!

Sure we do! I have 2 Express clutches I got for free (Black Friday deal thing), some VS bags I got with stuff my BF or his mom got me, some evening bags from The Limited, some kiddy looking stuff too (cartoony bags kinda), a straw bag from Marshalls that I love to death and is so great for summer. So yes, I have lots!

Sometimes I feel kind of snotty because I own pretty much all designer bags and won't buy anything else, but, people like what they do, and they can't help it...One of the reasons why I don't buy "cheaper" bags is because they are, well, cheaper. Like I have this black Old Navy messenger with the cutest interior that I wanted to use for diaper bag/school, and it has a large hole in it already, and I've only used it about 3 times. The one bag that I own that isn't designer is from Target...it's a offwhite tote that I use for school...Here's the link to the bag I have: http://www.target.com/gp/detail.html/ref=cm_reviews_dp_seemore/601-0240771-6284132?%5Fencoding=UTF8&coliid=&frombrowse=1&alt%5Fview=custReviews&asin=B0009ETMKG...it's been great for school and holds a lot.

i just buy what i like, designer or not. unfortunately for me, what i like tends to be more designer lol! my first designer bag was a chloe on sale for like $495, then i got a botkier, then a chloe full price, then an MJ...but i have a really cute canvas bag from club monaco i carry when it rains, and quite a few 'independent' deisgner or not really designer, designer bags, like not rational, jas mb, moschino...

i'm afraid though now that i've broken the 4 digit price barrier, there's no turning back...

I understand what you are saying but there is a major difference between 'cheap' (not well made) bags and 'cheaper' bags ( cheaper than whatever each individual considers too much to pay for but not cheap;) )

Most of my bags are non-designer (I love Lucky Brand). Reading about posts with regards to quality issues on some high-end bags like Fendi Spy, etc., I don't get how people say cheaper bags means the quality is crap. All of my cheaper bags are still in great condition eventhough some of them get abused. Of course you'll have to choose those that aren't flimsy looking.

If I see a super trendy, ie, is only going to be cute for the current season, I won't spend $$$ on a bag. Example, I was in TJMaxx and saw the bag with big round aqua and blue circles and bamboo handles. (I know, I know :D ) I knew I'd only carry it with one or maybe two outfits and would tire of it quickly. I wasn't going to go find a high end bag that was similiar just because it was high end. I bought it and its been sitting with the other "retired" bags since last summer.

I just can't rationalize spending that on a super trendy bag.

.....The 2 Ninewest bags I have are already falling apart. I was surprised because I think their shoes are ok. More quality in the shoes than the bags I suppose.

I just recently got into designer bags, so I still have lots of nine west and stuff around. My only somewhat higher end bags are several coach, a tiny gucci from ebay (I'm still struggling to determine authenticity -- it looks real, but who knows?!) and a kate spade. One of my very favorite bags ever is my manatee fabric beach bag that I bought at sea world! (I truly think it has artistic value -- the pictures of the manatees are quite moving, truly, and the colors are fabulous:-)

So I just say, if you like it buy it. Also, if you can't afford it, don't buy it, lol. That last one is harder for me to deal with:-)

Hi, welcome to the board! Kinda nice to see alot of you ladies w/ high end bags also have non desiger bags. I myself also just started my collection (2 LV, 1 Balenciaga).. I luv these to death but I also have a bunch of non desiger bags I still luv and use- Hype, Aldo, Sak, Nine West, Rampage.. I'm not getting rid of them because they are all useful for different situations.
