Hi!
I'm sooo happy I found this site! I want to buy my sweetie a new purse, but I don't know where to start. I haven't been much of a bag girl myself, so I usually just get any old decent looking shoulder bag for the stuff I carry around, but she's more fashiony than me, so I want to get something that fits her style.
I'm looking for an everyday type of bag, maybe medium size, definitely not those big clunky ones I see a lot of girls with these days. The problem is I don't know how to tell what's a good bag, what's good leather, that kind of thing. She's in her late forties and sort of conservative, but definitely feminine, if that helps. Where do I start? I guess tried and true stuff like Coach and Dooney must be good, right? Or is it all hype and marketing? Are there less-known bags I should look at? Help! Oh, and I'd like to keep it to around $250 -- is that realistic for a good quality bag if I find a sale? I can spend more if I have to, but I want to spend money on quality, not just some hot name.
Thank you sooo much for any advice you can give me!
