I have wanted a nice leather bag for a long time and I never get a real one. I was looking today but I haven't made a decision of what brand do I want to buy. I'm not a brand name kind of people, I just want to get a handbag that has nice leather(the strong leather smell kind, I like that) and the price is reasonable for the bag, do you have any recommendations?

I swear by Hidesign when it comes to Leather Handbag. The one that I'm using regularly (everyday, to be precise) is about 5/6 years old. The zipper came off and had it changed. I don't know the rate in US, but in India, Hidesign can be quite costly compared to other cheap brand or non-branded ones. But they last forever and not only that, I have a guarantee that it is real leather. (I can't really tell a fake leather from real one just by looking at it.)

Yeah how can we tell whether the leather fake or what? It seems like leather made by Italy is pretty nice and they smell good but I don't know how to tell...

Exactly the reason why I always choose Hidesign. I can't tell the fake one from the real one. Both looks very real, but fake one gets damaged easily.

Hello Mermaidivy!! Me too!! I bought it on December. It´s more or less 45cmsx30cms x17cms. It´s a black strong leather bag. It has 4 outside bags, one for paper tissues, one for my cell, one for the keys, and one for my glasses. Inside all I have is my wallet and hand lotion. It has a wide handle. It´s price was $16.66usdls. Here in my state the leather represents the main echonomic activity. Blessings!... Dainy

Hi Mermaidivy, I found this real leather handbag so cheap because this is the main echonomic activity here at Leon. I bought it direct from the handbag factory. I hope that you can find some nice & useful handbag, good luck! =) Blessings!... Dainy

My recommendation is to hold off buying the handbag. Aren't you going to HongKong with your baby(other discussion)? Just buy it there. I'm sure that there will be a lot of choices there, and most would be way cheaper than what you'll find here. You might even find branded bags there too!

It's true. Pretty much 10 out of 10 women carries brand name bag in Hong Kong, it is true that there are like unlimited choices in Hong Kong... you're right, maybe I should wait and I won't have to pay for the tax in Hong Kojng, thank you!!!
