I bought a Miu Miu handbag/messenger bag yesterday. It's in a tan color and it looks similar to this:

except it's bigger (probably twice the size and in length) and it has a strap that allows one to wear it as a messenger bag. It is very very cute and I love the fact that I can take the strap out and use it as a plain hand-held handbag. I have been looking for a messenger bag for a while now and finally come across to this.

Anyhoo after I went home and thought it over, I have a bit of a doubt. since this bag costs CAD 1095 or 1195 (gosh I can't believe I forgot already.. and it's only yesterday!) which comes to USD 940 or so plus tax, I am wondering what other bags out there in this price range (meaning 940 or less) that might be a bit better than this one(better brand, better make)? This bag is made of deer skin and I love the color. My one concern is that it might be a bit too plain.

Please let me know whether I have made a good purchase or not!!

I will try to post pics tonite when I get home.
 
I have a gorgeous Bulga crescent shaped bag which I want to sell in the same color. I think it may be perfect for you based upon the description of what you want. PM me if you are interested.
 
Great! I uploaded the pictures of the bag and myself wearing it. Feedbacks please!!

hehe thanks jacquelinez!! I had doubts too because of the price. but bags these days.. the good ones are at least 2000 bucks.. I can't believe my current train of thoughts is that $1000 + is actually affordable (as compared to a few years back)!! Thanks again for your inputs. much appreciated.
