I just got this one from DSW and I am in love! Most wonderful squishiest leather ever and the perfect fuschia! Got it for just under $100.

OMG! I saw the same bag at DSW but in black and I was so tempted but I didn't have the funds at the time... do you know what this brand is called? I couldn't believe how thick and supple the leather was. Great deal you got there -- I think the DSW by me was selling it for closer to $130?

Check out post #491 on this thread. I sent the link to buy it to someone else just earlier today.

I guess the color I got is on sale on the websight, but I noticed most all the other colors are still at the regular price.

Thank You! I just purchased it a few minutes ago. Got it for $75.00 Including Shipping & Tax!

Thank God For The Two Coupons I was able to use!

Can't Wait Until It arrives. This will be my first order with DSW!

Thanks again! :smile1:

That's wonderful!
I didn't have any coupons so I ended up paying about $96 with tax and shipping. Still totally worth it!

I couldn't wait for mine either! I'm usually pretty good about being patient for things I order, but I was like a little kid when it came to this one. :graucho:

Kissowl, where do you find these bags? I'd love to find a high quality leather bag that isn't branded.

Hi there!
I bought them from this small shop near Ponte Vecchio in Firenze. You can find plenty of stores that specialize in leather and custom made handbags/shoes around that area. I got a croc tote and ostrich bag for around 700 euro each. Normal leather bags range b/t 150-500. Hope it helps!

I like nice brands but I don't think I have any High end bags like so many of the ladies here. I own brands such as : The Sak, Liz Claiborne, Jones of New York and Coach. They are all quality bags. I've never paid $1000 for a bag and I don't ever plan too.

I love looking at all of these nondesigner finds! Sometimes it's more fun to see how people can pull off great style on a budget then it is to see the same designer bags over and over again. Tell me: is it taboo/frowned upon here to post a non designer collection in the collections forum? I can not find one thread that includes great no name finds. I for one am very proud of my (extremely) humble collection!

I own a lot of coach bags which I use for everyday casual use and which I mix in with my high end bags. Coach bags give me good style and durability for the pricepoint, and I use them as my everyday bags along with my balenciagas which are higher end.

Yes I own a couple of non-designer/non high end designer bags and I love them just as much as my high end bags.

A case in point, I was on vacation in Europe 2 months ago and I chanced upon a lovely bag from Cruciani in Milan, which is probably more known for their cashmeres or cute c-bracelets. Anyhow I stepped into the store and I fell in love with their Milano City bags. Made of smooshy calf leather and suede inner lining... yummy to the touch and requires no babying! Needless to say I came home with a yummy new Cruciani bag (plus a few more other higher end bags through my Europe trip) :)

I own 3 Mulberry bags, that's it for my high end designer bags and frankly, all I need. Others, I've got loads of; Jasper Conran, Wera Stockholm, Lumi Accessories, Longchamp, Hilfiger, Marimekko, Kipling, Tiger of Sweden...I actually purchased a lovely, off-white Wera Stockholm bag just yesterday in Stockholm just because I fell sooo in love with it AND the price was definitely right - I paid 55 € for a bag that retails for 145 €. The leather is sturdy and good quality. I've never had the courage to get a white leather bag but with the price being so low, I decided to give it a go.

I think that's the beauty with the non-high end bags: you need not be in a constant state of panic if/when stains occur. I was once offered a white Mulberry Bays for a nice price but passed on it just because I know myself and my tendency to worry about ruining an expensive bag. Having said that, I did manage to get my dark red lipstick on my new bag immediately after leaving the store but sorted it out with help of L'Occitane Shea Handcream and Kleenex...:roflmfao:

I would love to see your collection and share in your joy of owning them! I, too own a few no name bags as I find that designer bags, premium as well as other are just not always appropriate or practical to carry.
