I do! Most of my non-designer bags are clutches.

I have a pretty black w/ pink pinstripe clutch from baby phat, a patent white clutch from via spiaga, and a little beaded clutch from Isabella Fiore.

im a student who pretty much works for minimum wage, 3 days a week (looking to add another job) my reasoning is this- well no see lol i have a some burberrys, either got at a private sale for next to nothing or found randomly in a closet, (like that vintagey blue label thing that i ADORE and now dotn need to buy a coach sidepack). my lesportsac was a gift and the others i got at also next to nothing prices at the outlet, another messenger, (thinking about getting store credit for the gift), and a little fanny pack for when i go running with my dog or something. but trust me lol its cute :) and now i just picked up an MJ tote again at a private sale..see the pattern? ive never paid retail or even 50% of any of my bags. i wait, then POUNCE lol. my tumi ive never takenout of my house, its more to just house my laptop, also next to nothing. i have more coach accessories but that was all eitehr gifts or discounted, bags were given to me and im giving them lol to some of my younger cousins and my aunt who loves the green suede one. i spend more on jewlery, or on those chanel sunglasses, that i also didnt pay full price.

HOWEVER
for me i wasnt really a bag person till now lol and in these last couple of weeks its sprouted from the two basic items i had lol. but i rather have those then cheaper non name brand bags in all honesty, but thats because usually they are all imo trendy or really plain, and again i would literally just shove my cell and my mini skinny in my sleeve LOL. i had some nine west and a dkny purse as a kid so i would wear them at family functions, but yes do wear some "designer" but i also stuff stuff in my sleeve lol.. for me i really dont need a lot of choices, if i need my cross body i wear my burberry found in closet, if i need a smaller bag/ evening rendevous i use my other burberry. and now when i need to carry more with me my mj tote. and soon for EVERYWHERE my mulberry. lol if i just got this first i doubt i would need any other bag.

Phew...I thought I was the only one. LOL I'm guessing that the most I've ever spent on a purse is $50...MAYBE. And then it was on sale from the original price. =D My most "name brand" has been Jones of NY. But lately I've been carrying an Indie bag. And I'm looking at a Fierce Kitten purse next.

If I found a bag that I really loved and it was Name Brand expensive then I might save up for it.

Yeah I have a few nondesigner bags. My mom gave them to me years ago. They are fun bags for summer. They are the blue and green bags. I also have Coach and Dooney and Bourke, which as someone else said is not considered designer or high end by some members of this forum.

I have a cross body barrel bag by Tommy Hilfiger in olive corduroy that for some reason I still really, really love. it was $29 but I paid $3 at TJ Maxx and I use it when I need something small stylish and casual. I also have a fuchsia corduroy Levis messenger I bought for $2 at Urban Outfitters that I use for school. I used to use a City DKNY bag and a lesportsac from my mom, but I'll probably never use them again because I have my Coach swing pack (which is absolutely high end to me) and Marc Jacobs nude banana hobo (and my wonder is waiting for me in NY). I'll keep the lesportsac forever because my mom gave it to me and it was my first. I think non-designer/non high-end bags are totally essential, if it's something well made that you love and will use for a long time and 85 bucks is a lot of money to me, definitely enough to get something from the Coach outlet that I would wear for a very long time and too much to spend on something like Baby Phat made from imitation leather

Actually I do: I have fossil, nine west, a banana republic cluth (I used a lot) and also have a few of other brand that is sold in Macys that I don't remember the name now; in addition to the high end bags. Sometimes my bag obession has no limits :wtf: !!
Saludos!

I have a "Reaction by Kenneth Cole" dark grey nylon messenger bag that I wear all the time. I know it sounds silly but in spite of all the designer bags I have, this is the one bag that I wear 90% of the time. I guess I just feel more comfortable wearing it since I've had it for so long and I got it for $12 (it was originally over $200) at the outlet.

I can just see it now ... if I ever get myself a croc Birkin, it'll probably just be another museum piece inside my closet ...

I do and it's the one I love and use most: medium Pliage Longchamp in Cream with the longer handle for ~$110. It's the most comfortable of all my bags. For example, the one on my avatar is just for show-off purposes but it's hellish to use (ESPECIALLY open and close)!
