At the moment, Kipling is at the top of my list. The bags are so lightweight and don't feel uncomfortable against my skin (it's really hot up here!).
1. Favorite Non-Designer Handbag:
Kipling Pac-Man Art M tote
2. How much was it:
Around 70€ I think?
3. How often do you use it/what for:
I use it alot more often than I thought I would, nearly weekly which is often for me. It's a very common travel companion for me and I also reach for this bag when I have to lug alot of stuff (happens more often than you'd think). It's comfortable to carry, it's lightweight and there's a trolley sleeve. The blue color is pretty and the print is fun.
4. Favorite brands that aren't designer:
Kipling, Pacsafe, Osprey
5. The most you've paid for a handbag:
Around 650€

Mumble incoherently made me laugh. I do like your pacsafe bag and I've never heard of it. I'm gonna check it out.

I have zero need for a new backpack (I bought one right before the pandemic from lipault) and I have zero need for another lightweight nylon xbody (my Tumi is gonna last forever) BUT BUT BUT I am now really wanting a bag from pacsafe after exploring their site!

I'm not affiliated with Pacsafe in any way, but I won't travel without it.

+1 for Pacsafe!
I own 2 Pacsafe backpacks and they are my travel go-to bags whenever I'm going to a city destination. They are also very handy for work as they both have laptop compartments.
IMO Pacsafe is the best investment for travel bags when you need/want something extra safe!
The Kipling Art M is great for travel as well as it has a lockable zipper and it's waterproof and very lightweight. They regularly come up with new collabs and have already done 2 with Pac-Man.

If only Pacsafe and Pac-Man would collaborate. On a very structured photograph-covered exercise bag that can be used during the pandemic. We could call it the Pix-Pacs-Pecs-Pox-Box.

(I’m NOT Dr. Seuss. I’m NOT. Not with a bag, not with a rag. Not in a box, not with a fox.)

1. Favourite Non-Designer Handbag: Maxwell-Scott Rosa
2. How much was it: bought it on sale, it was around 300 GBP
3. How often do you use it/what for: not very often due to lockdown but I want to use it more! I bought it out of curiosity if I will like the dome style, I was hesitant because it seemed like a grandma bag. I thought it will be a throw-around work bag but then the pandemic happened and we were issued laptops in case we had to work from home. So I needed a big tote. And when I received the Rosa, I decided it's too beautiful to use as a work bag, my workplace isn't worthy of its presence!
4. Favourite brands that aren't designer: Maxwell-Scott, Coach (I don't think it's considered designer, "just" luxury), I wish I knew more contemporary and/or independent brands
5. The most you've paid for a handbag: 485 GBP for an MCM belt bag or around 500-600 for a Maxwell-Scott work tote, I don't remember how much the tote was exactly
