designer bags or whatever bags?   

It's usually my philosophy that I'd rather have lots of different affordable things than just a few expensive things. I have a couple of Kate Spades, but most of my bags fall somewhere in the range between Lucky Brand (lovvvve!) and Target brand (also love!).

Another place I get affordable stylish bags is from mark (a little sister brand of Avon). Their bags and accessories are very on-trend and cheap enough to get a new one each month.

i think it doesnt matter if it's a designer bag or not, if it suits your taste and has good quality. there are many bags out there who are cheaper than say gucci or chanel, that's because they dont dispose of high-level brand names, but are still worthy of buying

Hey Gicolet,
This is a hard topic to respond to. I have a couple coach bags, a wallet a keychain,a small wrist bag, and 1 LV bag, but i didn't purchase any of them with my own money they're all gifts that i have gotten from either family members or friends !so as far as if it's important for me to have the designer bags i would have to say i dont know if i would kill to have one. I felt that i always wanted designer bags before i got one, but now that i have a few it doesnt really matter much to me, i dont know if i'll ever buy a whatever bag anymore either because all of my bags have life time warrenty so i dont really need to purchase a million pages, you know? cause if anything happens to the ones that i have i'll just exchange them and get new ones for free. i agree with you that people purchase designer bags because they see that celebrities are carrying them and they think that they'll be fashionable and rich looking like them, come on why spend all of that money when you're really not rich! i also hate how people who act rich and carry all these bags talk crap about other people who carry the knock offs! okay so they act rich but always complain about not having any money...lol...

back to topic i dont think it matters if you carry something real or fake just as long as you can afford it and feel good about purchasing it and you feel good carrying it around with you.

i hope this answers your question! :)

I've own some designer bags - LV, Gucci, Coach but only because of the design, which is very classic, and can be used for any occasions. I, myself, am not always have to carry expensive bags. I have mixed prices of bags. My cheapest is only like $5 lol. I think that some people are too materialistic. They carry brand names just because they wanna get accepted from everyone.

I love designer bags. I have a louis vuitton , but I usually do not use it. It was one of those kind of things where I just had to have it and now that I have it I never use it. I was thinking of selling it even. I sold my Dooney and Bourke a couple of weeks ago.

Once I'm crazy about those famous bags,esp when I was in university.But at that time,as a student,I haven't enough money to buy those bags.It's not a bad thing for me.I love the designs,but mostly cuz the famous brand.And I once love some vanas or linen bags.I loved so many multifarious bags.Now,I guess it's not important whether it's a famous brand,the most important is you like the design and that's really fits you.
