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

I haven’t yet taken the plunge and bought anything from the big names (LV, Gucci, Dior). Most of my bags are DKNY, followed closely by Nine West, with a smattering of H&M and no-name purses.

While I do own a few high end designer bags, I buy bags because I like them not because of the name. That's why it bugs me a little when people put down bags that are not designer, after all, I have always believed that high end designer bags are over-priced. These are my non-designer bags that I own and quite enjoy using.

Two Fino bags that I purchased when I went home to visit the Philippines:

The only premier brand I have is Bal. The other bags I have are Fossil, CK.. a Burberry BL, even from Topshop
This is one of my trusty non designer bag that I got from Taiwan back in 2008. I believe it's lamb skin, it's so soft, so chewy yet durable. It has a purple interior lining which I love

I have gold ands silver matching Liz Claiborne monogram totes that I got from Ross. I also have a cute red leather bag that is a hand-me-down from my mom and a random no-name monogram canvas black bag that is falling apart and pieces of thread are hanging everywhere, but I'm too lazy to get rid of. I only use these bags when running errands or when going to work and I don't have time to change into a nicer bag, but i try not taking them anywhere decent. I don't use my designer bags anywhere near enough, though.

My cheapest bags were my Kenneth Cole bags from law school. Don't use those anymore though. As per bags I use, my cheapest used to be Cole Haan bags (use one satchel and a cute satin clutch, another is stored for DD).

However, I just bought a PVC bag from Nordstrom for rainy days and the beach. Got it on sale for pretty cheap. Also got a straw clutch from Target. My first bag purchase from that store and I hope it holds up, but for $25, it just needs to hold up the one time I use it. It would have paid for itself by then. :D

Liz Claiborne hobo (good jacquard fabric)
Tarnish satchel from Nordstrom's
Vera Bradley duffel
Rossetti (good linings)
Red Marc Ecko (silky nylon)
Big Buddha (x2) backup chain bag
Rioni (fantastic workmanship)
