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

i have a CK saffiano bag that i've owned for 3 years and used quite a bit. the saffiano was brick-hard when i first bought it, but it did soften up quite a bit. it definitely didn't get soft, but it did deform/dent in more easily and when i carry it i can see it molded a bit to me and how i carried it. the tote softened the most on the sides and bottom, so it structurally loses shape unless you keep it very filled with stuffing when not in use. it is a great bag, very hardy and can be abused quite a lot because the fabric is so easily cleaned and not easily damaged or scuffed.
hello ccbaggirl89, thank you for you reply. it is specifically the sides that seem unusable to me since it's to stiff but if you've experienced that the tote has 'softened' on the sides, maybe that's a good thing for me. It is the tote I purchased. So this gives me hope to keep the bag.
thanks so much!

yes, the side where i carry it closest to me softened the most. the handles are like bricks, they didn't soften at all! CK bags are very sturdy and hold up well. for the price point they are good bags, imo.
I love buying handbags no matter which brand or designer sells it. I like this kitty bag from Asia and they are pretty cheap compared to lv, Chanel ....
Just 100% cotton but is hand made. Bought a lot of these kitty stuff, bag, hair ties, key pouch. I believe in buy what you love. That represent your youth and taste. We should have our own identity while creating our own fashion taste and be responsible financially.

Well, I think I need to tell everyone that buying fake bags is such a rip-off. If you go on Ebay or Posh, you can find new/or almost new AUTHENTIC bags from the same designer for the price you are paying for the knock-off. Unless it's LV. The knock off bags don't last long either. My sis used to work for the airlines and went to Canal Street in NYC all the time and bought fake purses. I'd rather get a real one that is used/new w/o tags. The leather is real and it will last forever if you take care of it.
So, if you are saying you are broke and can't afford a non-designer, tell me how much you are paying for your bags (full retail) and I bet I can get one for you for around the same price. I have 4 sisters and 8 nieces so I'm always looking for a bargain on a real purse.
Answer to this thread...no, I only have designer bags!! (At a great price!)

It probably won't get much better. It is known for the stiff leather, so don't feel bad. Coach's bags are just as stiff with the same leather. It will be fine. Just enjoy it, or take it back for a refund if you aren't happy. Get something you will be happy with.
Two of my best bags are non designer. My 'funnest', a trendy fringe/bucket bag in smooshy leather (purchased last year, from Marshalls). And my most used, a go-to go out bag a Karina zabete for Target black bag (that is reminiscent of Chanel).

I have got some great bags from both Ebay and Poshmark, I mostly buy pre-loved bags in excellent condition for a great price.
