This is my collection, minus one cheapie bag, a white faux saffiano satchel w/strap that I bought for $40 and can never part because it’s the best summer carefree bag when I want to wear white. Colour transfer is not a problem for me on that bag, I just wipe it down!

All bought on sale, so nothing over CDN $500. The most expensive is the Botkier as I bought that through the US and I couldn’t track that bag down in Canada. Even with duties, fx and shipping it came in just under CDN$500. My latest bag purchase is the second one from the top, H Halston suede and leather for CDN $130. Bag itself is wonderful, I think they cheaped out on the strap to cut costs but I’m not too bothered by it.

Nice collection. What is the cute blue and cream one on the lower left?
 
Got this bag at Savers for 20.00, authentic Michael Kors Collection Skorpios hobo that is selling for a ridiculous amount of money. No zipper pull which is fine (because I don't really like branding) so I just put my own on.
Interesting color which changes depending on the lighting. Seems like a well made, sturdy bag, easy to wear, but I wouldn't pay upwards of 700.00 for it!!!

I love Kooba bags, want to try the Jonnie, how are you liking it? What a deal!
It is definitely a larger bag, a large hobo, but because of the shape you have to experiment how to keep your stuff inside. The leather (I think it's lambskin?) is one of the softest I own, really luscious, but also means it's a little more susceptible to scratches or marks. The exterior pocket is very generous. A little iffy on the snap closures. Overall, I love the leather and thinks it's a very functional hobo! It's just too bad Kooba's are scarce now so you can't play with it in person. If you have Amazon Prime though, you can watch the price or camelcamelcamel.com, purchase, and return if you don't like it.
