Do you own any designer handbags? If you do what brand are they? How many do you have? Personally I don't own one. I just can't bring myself to spend that much money on a purse. I usually just buy knock offs. That way I can have alot of different looks and I don't break the bank.

I don't have one either. I am a very practical woman and I don't go for labels or signatures. By the way, some time ago I saw a Gucci bag at a charity shop and it was only £2. It looked new except for a small ink stain in one of the handles. To my regret I put it back in the shelf because of that small stain which is not really noticeable. Anyway, it was white with brown patches and I didn't think it would match most of my clothes.

In todays economy I don't think designer bags are gonna be a hot item. Anymore extra money people used to save will be going toward the increased price of living...gas...food. Everything seems to go up except wages. Thank you for responding.

I personally do not own many designer handbags either. Although, if I had the money I'd have a new bag for every outfit. The quality of materials is better than a cheap handbag and I think that a classic (not just a passing trend) handbag is worth the investment. But if your looking to sport the season's latest "it" bag, but aren't ready to commit, there's this great site, bagborroworsteal.com, where you can rent authentic designer bags, as well as sunglasses and jewelry. Just browse for the purse you're looking for and you can borrow it for as long as you like for way less than acutally purchasing it. And this way you can always have a hot new purse! (That's not a knockoff)

Personally I hate purses! I don't even own one. I do carry a messenger bag with all my school books. That always stays in my car, or comes into work. They are usually brands that I buy at PacSun. But I do think I will end up buying my mom a Gucci purse or something. She loves purses and frankly she deserves something really nice. I do often buy her Tiffany and Co items. I own about twenty Tiffany necklace, bracelets, and earrings sets. But I never ever wear them. I'm not sure why.. I just prefer something I can make myself.
