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

[remainsilly]

Sure. There are many sides to a life--

Hiking with a dog, in pouring rain, isn't where I carry the chanel/etc. bags.

I sometimes need slash-proof steel inserts & bags built very lightweight/tough. But, these aren't inexpensive or lacking design.

And, I'm given a regular supply of cheap, cloth tote bags to destroy with use. So I do.

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 ? Or are you simply only into high-end bags?

I used to buy high-end bags/purses but have found that quality from smaller designers at a fraction of the cost, and more unique too. I'm from the UK and have some amazing purses from NotOnTheHighStreet and these lovely Harris Tweed coin purses with linings from Liberty from HandyMandyPurses at very low prices. What I like about these is that they are handmade and made with a lot of TLC. I've had enough of paying a fortune just for the brand name.

I have a tote made of horse hair with no name brand I bought it from TJ Maxx, it was my first "exotic" piece...hey I was 18 so yes I thought it was exotic back then😊

I love my light teal A&F crossbody bag almost as much as my designer bags!
Its a lot prettier and brighter in person.

Also have a canvas My Melody tote that I love to use in the summertime and a very loved no-name bag that I bought in middle school when we went to NYC. It fits sooooo much!

I have an olive green soft cotton drawstring backpack with leather buckle closure and khaki straps that I purchased at a street market in Spain. I love it and it is the only bag I get compliments on, which seems weird to me but whatever! It's perfect when I want to go hands free in the summer.

I also have a small stripe/dot patterned handbag with wooden closure that was handmade and purchased at an annual arts festival. It was only $15 and I keep it in the car in case I need to go hands free with just a wallet and phone, but I brought out the big handbag/diaper bag with me.

I have several Big Buddha fake leather bags and a few nice leather artisan/art fair bags. Love them all as much as my designer bags. The pleather is handy for bad weather or for somewhere I won't worry about banging around my bag.

Off course!! I just bought this baby! Full leather, silver hardware, for 50 euro. I don't care that it doesn't have a brand, I just love the look. I don't consider it a fake Hermes either, because it is a nice leather and doesn't have a name printed on bag. Anyway, I'm in love! 😉

I got two bags at Target on black friday one for $8 and one for $11 and I use them more than my Henri Bendel purses. I'm afraid of ruining expensive purses so for me most of the time cheap is the way to go.

 

[HesitantShopper]

I have a small collection of Roots purses, Made In Canada, All leather, all of these ones are lined too.

Now they aren't 50$ but aren't several hundred, the purple flat crossbody is old... i mean pushing double digits and the green tote about 2+.. the red crossbody is new lol

Never owned anything but top end designer bags however a bag is a bag how you wear it defines it's beauty

 

[manpursefan]

Most of my school bags are non-designer bags like Herschel, H.E. by Mango, North Face, Gap, etc.

 

[jeya13]

The majority of my bags are not high end, but contemporary. I have a few inexpensive bags like Kipling brand and 31 and a few high end as well.

 

[manpursefan]

I forgot to add Under Armour to my list.

 

[SHHMOM]

Yes, I own a vegan bag, from etsy. I love it is all made in the usa.

Ooh I love the colour! This bag is very me, I must admit... Hmm might go and research now..

Anyway, I don't own any high end bags, however I love mine all the same. I currently own bags from Kate Spade and Michael Kors, and I have my eye on a couple of bags from Fiorelli and Modula.
One day I shall own them all.... But not yet, unless I win the lottery
