Looking for Big, Brown, Leather, Slouchy, Handbag

[KK]

This bag IRL is very ugly!!! I also got fooled by that picture...the leather is not as soft as it looks, and the rings are a very faded, scratchy kind of gold. I was very disappointed....

Great, I thought it looked good too. Thanks for telling us, dee-dee. Pictures can be so deceptive!

Dillards has them on sale, and I bought one yesterday for a really low price. A sale just started TODAY (of course), and there's an additional 50% off clearance items.

They also have them at nordstroms.com. Maybe the company site, sigridolsen.com, will have even more, but I don't know if shopping is available through them.

Who has the Sigrid Olsen for sale? What a cute inexpensive bag! What about a Kooba? There are several great slouchy styles and the leather is yummy!

I've had my eye on this Moni Moni bag at Adasa.Com for some time. I can't remember who posted it, but I can't stop thinking about it. It also comes in a beautiful dark chocolate brown, and for the price I thinks it's pretty incredible

Oh no, yayagirl6, check out Bjara's threads, she ordered 2 (caramel and chocolate), she returned them due to the disappointing craftmanship. Have a look: http://www.purseforum.com/showthread.php?t=3803&highlight=moni

I do want to mention another thing about when I was shopping this past weekend.

It seems that Kooba has changed the leather on their new styles for S/S. It's a bit stiffer, and not nearly as soft. I still think it is a very pretty leather, but it just seems to be more treated. The texture of the brown one I saw is similar to the brown leather trim that IF uses on a lot of their bags, like the tapestry one for example. Hope that makes sense.

Hi,

I am looking for a Big, Brown, Leather, Slouchy handbag. I was wondering if anyone here has come across any recently. I don't want anything high end, I don't want to spend a lot of money.

THANKS!

I just saw this one...by Lucky Brands. I would grab it in a second if the entire bag was made from the distressed (per the info) leather that the trim is made out of. Right now, the body of it is suede.

The turquoise is really pretty!

$171.95 at Zappos.com
Description:
East/west satchel style shoulder bag made of suede with distressed leather trim.
Fashionably oversized.
Dual shoulder straps.
Top covered magnetic snap closure.
Interior lining with a back wall zip pocket and multi-functional slip pockets.

I'm not sure what your budget is, but here are a few that are under $200 usd:

1) I saw this Gap shopper in person the other day, and to my utter surprise, the leather was actually pretty nice! The ones I saw had leather debatably as soft as the the BR bags. (It looks a lot slouchier in person)

2) A BR Tangiers hobo or Kempton Shoulder bag. I have the Kempton shoulder bag in white and I love it! It's super slouchy! Only thing is, I think a couple of other members have had some colour rubbing off problems with the BR brown coloured bags.

Good luck with your bag search!
