No preference for material and price range of not more than US$1,000. Trying to avoid LV, getting tired of their bags. My LVs are sitting in my wardrobe and taking up a lot of my precious space.
I agree w/ the LV suggestions, I also spotted a great bag yesterday on Saks on-line! It's a Miu Miu, leather hobo with braided strap, it's simple but gorgeous.
I would suggest the obvious spy bag- the coolest bag of the year!
If you like the hippy hobo look then go for the balenciaga shouchy shoulder bag ("The Day")
The Gucci horsebit shoulder bag is also hot (very Jessica Simpson). I also love how much space the Mulberry Roxanne has, I know its been out for a year of so, but this seasons apple green is HOT!
