3 Dooney & Bourke
1 Sak
1 Prada, plus prada key ring
1 Max Azria
12 Ralph Lauren
1 Kate Spade
3 Hilfiger
2 Abercrombie totes

conclusion: Cripes I have too many bags...but so what, i like it!!!!!:laugh:

[DrummerDeanna]

I just carry all my **** around in a plastic Wal-Mart bag.

It goes with everything.

Here's mine:

12 Ralph Lauren


Umm...okay. Why?

Secondly...I have to know...are they all real? I mean I could go to NYC, walk down Canal Street and come back with twice as much for under $200.

[ontheEdgeof17]

What?! No Gucci?!?!?!

[xdreamsunwindx]

I personally prefer using a potato sack. I keeps it real.

Other than that, I have a leopard-print Nine West bag I got for $5 at a thrift store, a black lace handbag from Charlotte Russe, a totebag I got for free from work w/ the Get Hip logo, a super rad Iggy & The Stooges tote, two Yeah Yeah Yeahs purses (ilu Hayley), a comic-book print handbag from London, and a blue bowling-bag looking thing with a ska black and white checkerboard detail on the side, with the English Beat mod girl on it as well.

Oh, and I probably have the cutest shoes known to man. I never spend more than $30 on heels, though. Boots, well, that's another story.

[skcin]

I have 3 from Penney's, 5 from Target and 2 from Kmart. I also have a nice vintage metal ring bag (it was my mom's), a fake Kate Spade, a real Kenneth Cole Reaction, and a Ralph Lauren one from a garage sale. I got my large totes for free with purchase from Lancome & Elizabeth Arden.

[DrummerDeanna]

What?! No Gucci?!?!?!

:laugh: :laugh:

You know what....*I* actually have two Gucci bags. Yep.

Sure..I got them from a drugged out Indian guy in New York City for $20...but hey man...no one in Colorado knows the difference :laugh:

No Hermes Birkin in the bunch? WTF?

[gldstwmn]

I have a virtually indestructable Brighton black leather bag. It's heavy. I like Isabella Fiore and have several of those. I have a Lulu Guinness bag. There's a Kooba bag that I want for the summer.

[gldstwmn]

I'd rather make a down payment on a house. :laugh:

bitch please. there was a time when I coulda run a purse shop outta my house. there was also a time when I didn't know you weren't supposed to be on the cellphone while shopping there. I was rudely kicked out of a "store" and they closed up after I attempted to call home to ask someone what kind of Prada they wanted. :laugh:

as for me, I was in such a Prada phase at once that I have mostly Prada. I have a Prada messenger, wallet and keyring. I also have a Louis Vuitton wallet. and yes, they're all real.

I'd love a Birkin. as soon as I get a response to my gaymillionaires.com ad, I'm sure to get one!

Had you been a Hilton (or Gretchen apparently:lol: :p ) they would have welcomed you with open arms. Celly or no celly. That's discrimination!

Not trying to impress anyone, I just like bags..so does my sister, Mom too. I am not a snob or anything, I just like them. Maybe i shouldn't have started this thread...i'm not a snob.

[estranged4life]

but I do have a nice set of 'love handles' :rolleyes:

[gretchen]

What?! No Gucci?!?!?!

not into gucci. they do make a nice fragrance tho: Gucci Envy, very nice.

Ahhh, don't put me in the same sentence as a flake like Paris Hilton!!!!

[GardenStateGirlie]

i have a few designer handbags but i rarely use them. nothing bothers me more than seeing some bitch in sweatpants carrying around a $600 handbag. it's not being trendy, it's being lame. i have a bunch of random bags that i like to switch up (which usually causes me to misplace my keys). in fact, i just purchased a huge green handbag the other day :nod:

[estranged4life]

It's been shown that the number of handbags a women has is related in direct porportion to how many shoes she owns..... Hello Emelda Marcos

Deb owns tons of bags/purses and shoes :nod:

[strandinthewind]

Stevie has a black strapped shoulder bag in one of those NYC AE tribute photos.

A SHOULDER bag - that is just too much for me to handle right now :laugh:

I prefer not to spend a few hundred on a handbag and wallet. I have a LV that I got at a yard sale, a real one, and the lining ripped. The fakes have never ripped on me. :p I have a real Coach wallet but it was a Christmas gift fro my husband. Honestly, I would rather spend extra money on my the kids. I enjoy looking at nice bags in the store, though. I do have a Prada messenger bag that I use for work but again, that was a gift. From the boss man. It's nice but not really "me". I am more a Target/Express/yard sale or fake bag kinda gal.

If you got a big Birkin bag, it would be as big as you :laugh:

[catinthedark]

i've never been one to splurge on bags or shoes. but then i splurged on a shoulder bag from banana republic - $360 is a big splurge for me - but it is GORGEOUS, and everytime i carry it i feel happy. and i've gotten more compliments on it than anything else i've ever bought. and i will have it forever.

sadly, it opened the floodgates.

bought another BR bag last summer (also LOVE it)

then - the piece de resistence: a miu miu one (BUT - it's from the prada factory - a little corner of heaven south of florence)

then - another gorgeous italian leather one from the florence market.

that's it. i love them all. but i don't need anymore.

You know she only bought that thing because it came with a free scrunchie. The BATB scrunchie mystery is now SOLVED.

[NoSpeedLimit]

Oh! I love, love handbags...maybe a better place to post is the place i go to where people are just as obsessed and won't think you are crazy! LOL:laugh:
www.purseforum.com

Different people like different things...that's all I have to say:shocked:

Just b/c you like handbags doesn't make you a snob...it's just something you like. I happen to love Chanel purses! So what?? Some people like to collect baseball cards...some people collect cars...Me, I collect purses! :o

Gretchen sounds pretty hot. We want pics!

I have to say, though, every Ledgie I've met has met me in boots, and they'd all agree that I rock the ****-me boots hardcore. Being a go go girl/burlesque dancer in training has it's benefits :laugh:

i love this thread!!!! :] i have 1 YSL, 1 louis vuitton, 1 dooney & bourke, and bunch of other random bags that i like to interchange. but the one i use every day is a plain messenger bag that i glued multi-coloured buttons onto and painted with a large firefly and the words "i have no fear, i have only love" in the shape of a heart. if you see a strange looking girl on the streets of NYC walking with it, holla at me!

[sara1998]

I can't afford such nice things... I have a mortgage, and I'm a single income kinda girl.

SO.... I have a little black hand bag I bought for $16.99 (on sale) at JCPenneys. :laugh: I have thought about splurging... once... but can't get past the "this is half or all of my mortgage payment" prices....

In the end, unless you think you will use that bag for a year solid, it is not worth it :shrug:

I still love my designer crap, but I shop for it on sale and the vast majority of it was purchased at a huge discount or someone gave it to me. More often than not, I am in GAP pants that cost me about $20.00 each :cool:

Geez, why so many purses and bags? Expensive ones too:shrug: I rather have a nice car and house, some kids and grandchildren to spend my money on. I guess I just don't collect alot of "stuff."

I cart a 6'1" hubby around with me. He handles my money:D :laugh:

I just had to update my list. I now have a buttercream yellow leather Nine West handbag. It is the new highlight of my life. "How did you land such a bag, Paula, since you're so frugal" you might ask. I got it for $12 (marked down from $58) at a discount store. :cool: God, I truly am awesome.

Oh Paula, you are much better than me. I'm carrying the same black Banana Republic bag that I got at an outlet store about a year and a half ago for $20.00. Alas, I should try to find a summer bag. Hmm, maybe I'll use the no-name bag I got for free at Ulta 3 when I made a purchase of men's cologne. It was a $40 value, you know.
