Oh I love the LL Bean Boat totes! I have a custom one that I use all the time. I really want to get a small, monogrammed one to use as a purse on super casual/beachy days.

oh me too! i'm just waiting for my fav color to go on sale before getting =P
i have another one with the leather handles, patch work body, love that too.
yeah, it's nice that u can create your own isn't it?
i haven't seen the polka dot one anywhere. it must be adorable!
Yeah... The polka dot came out a few years back. They do them only for a limited time, so you have to jump on them. I wish they would do more of them. I think they had stripes that year as well. I also noticed that the make your own does not have as many options as it used to.
1. Favourite Non-Designer Handbag: "ecote" (Urban Outfitters) dark turquoise suede fringe shoulder bag
2. How much was it: about $40-45
3. How often do you use it/what for: Picnics, anything kind of outdoorsy (like a barbecue), going out to dive bars with DH and his colleagues, any place where I don't want to stick out because I have a designer bag on my arm..
4. Favourite brands that aren't designer: Not many, tbh. This just caught my eye and I knew I had to buy it, I thought it was so pretty. I'm pretty picky about bags...
5. The most you've paid for a handbag: $400 for MBMJ Hillier hobo in black
This picture doesn't really do it justice, in my opinion.

I have one of the make your own ones and I love it! I'd like to do another one, but I don't like the colors they are offering this season very much. I'd love a polka dot one, and I think I've seen some with little embroidered things, like seashells or turtles? Those are too cute!
I thought I was the only one who loved those bags so much! :giggles:
Favorite Non-Designer Handbag: Melie Bianco Brandy Satchel in Black (I believe it was inspired by a Ted Baker bag, if I remember correctly). I like that it doesn't look or feel cheap despite the material being faux leather.
How much was it: $72
How often do you use it/what for: I use it almost daily, pretty much everywhere I go. It's functional (plenty of pockets!) and goes well with my outfits.
Favorite brands that aren't designer: Melie Bianco, Steve Madden, ALDO. I also like some bags by Big Buddha and Urban Expressions.
The most you've paid for a handbag: $300

Capybara... A very large rodent, that lives in watery areas. Didn't know they made bags out of them.
Yeah, I've seen them but had no idea they were bag material. Now I wanna see a bag made from one!

I really like Kipling too! they're so sturdy and well-designed.
