Don't hate me, but...

I love everything you bought, I like D&B, and when I first joined here I too was amazed at how people ripped D&B apart. I know that they're not the greatest of brands, but, I like them because they're not so crazily expensive like LV.
 
I was out shopping today, and I saw several beautiful D&Bs carried by shoppers at the mall. These were nicely dressed women in their 20s-40s carry various kinds of D&Bs . Most of them were of pebbled or all-weather leather and looked very nice. Not 'ooh trendy' nice but middle of the road, can-use-them-for-years without them looking out of fashion nice.

One thing I should say is compared to Coach D&B have a lot more bag shapes to choose from!
