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.

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

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

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.

Gretch is the Queen of Boots...and she looks HOT! in them (and out of them) too

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.

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

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.

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

www.purseforum.com

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

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!
