If you are carrying a bag that didn't run you more than five hundred or so, but you love it and carrying it makes you feel like a million bucks, then post a photo of it here! Especially on your arm. I want to celebrate you and your budget friendly luxury. If there's a story about how you snagged something fab-u-lous for hundreds, not thousands, (i.e. second hand steal, amazing sale, outlet score), tell us all about how you got it without breaking the bank, along with the photo.

A Paul Costelloe that I snatched for about 50 GBP in a charity shop, new with all tags, a simple black Osprey, square, not much fuss, lovely patina due to age and deceptively roomy (I call it my tardis bag), I like bags where I don't have to worry about a scratch or bump and that are useful
 
Today I “thrifted” an Elliott Lucca bag. It was marked at $8.49, I had a $5.00 coupon! lol! So at $3.49 it is QUITE a bit below the $500.00! haha! I immediately thought “this bag belongs with me.” Thick heavy leather, gunmetal hardware, adjustable shoulder strap, lots of zippers, pretty lining, No plastic zippers (even on the inside!) All the things I like.
& it feels just right! haha.
I’ve never paid $3.49 for a bag before!
