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

Hi.

I'm new to the site. I am indeed a purse lover but I'll admit there isn't a bag in my "collection" that exceeds 85 bucks. I am a college student 20 yrs young, with a small min. wage job on weekends. The majority of my money goes towards saving for tuition, food and clothes--bare necessities. I see many of you, well most of you are into LV, Gucci, Fendi and other major high-end designer bags. Well do any of you own bags of the total opposite....lets say...Nine West, Tommy Hilfiger, Steve Madden, Baby Phat---brands of that caliber? Let's go a little lower Payless purses, Walmart purses:oh: ? Or are you simply only into high-end bags?

But of course ! I have a few designer bags but plenty of non-designer ones too. I basically purchase a bag if I like the way it looks, for it's funtionality and if it's a good quality over who the designer is

Most of you probably wouldn't of heard of it as its a popular Australian brand, but I have 11 "mimco" bags, they each range from $350-$500AUD. I'm thinking all that money could of got me an LV!
So atm I am trying to decide which one will be my first lv bag, either the speedy 25 or hampstead pm both in damier azur.

I also have a couple of juicy coutures & guess,.

Anyway if you want to check out mimco, the website is http://www.mimco.com.au/

I just bought a "The SAK" bag two days ago! I love it! It's one of their bags from the past they're bringing back again It reminded me of a bag I had in high school that I loved! I've carried it for the past two days. It was $42 at Dillard's (with an extra %15 off). My husband didn't want me to get it at first since I have some pretty nice "high end" bags. I am so glad I got it! I love it! In my opinion, if you are a true bag lover you don't let designer or price be your guide.

If the theory is that Coach is non-designer, then yes. All of my bags are non-designer. I have a bunch of Coach.

Then my big travel bags are Victoria's Secret.

And I have a couple of Hollister totes.

And a Roxy backpack.

Oh well.

I have 2 B Makowsky bags, really nice quality leather / workmanship for the price, 2 Coach bags, 2 Tignanello bags and a slew of bags from Target, mostly to cart around stuff that could possibly damage a good bag (like bottled water, for example). If water spills on the Target bag, I don't much care. But on leather? Been there, done that.

Oh and I almost forgot my most recent "non-designer" bag, a very nice UGG Doctor's Satchel. At over $300, it's right up there with Coach price-wise. Love the rich brown suede.

The "least" designer bags I own are Kate Spade & Longchamp bags, some people would say they are some people wouldn't. That is not to say I don't own any non-expensive bags! The two are not mutually exclusive if you're willing to hunt around for vintage bags. I have two Valentino bags circa 1960s one lizard and one toile de v patterns and they were both less than 70 dollars and mint condition. I think some vintage bags are just made better than bags now. Trust me you can have your cake and eat it too when it comes to purses you just have to do a little more looking.

I don't really care though if I loved the look of a bag I guess it wouldn't matter I'm just hooked on some designers.
