Designer handbags......do you have one?

Those of us who post on the Fashionista's Daily will have seen that Glowgirl & Fengirl & a few others have some decidely delectable designer handbags....

Some of us haven't quite got to that point in our lives, but I was wondering who has what, who would buy one, and which specific bag would you choose?

The nearest I get to designer is a Radley body-bag, chocolate leather, birthday pressie from OH a couple of years ago. Otherwise I'm a Next / Tesco / Accessorise girl!

However, if i was in the market for a "good" everyday bag as my mum would say, it would probably be a Kenneth Cole.... and if the budget allowed then I would go for a Mulberry Roxanne in Oak.

Come on girls, spill the beans!!

Mulberry have a sale on at the moment. A friend gets previews as she saves and buys two a year.

My limit is a Radley bought 5 or 6 years ago in a sale and kept for best. Its plain black leather, not the fancy ones. I have two Kipling the good City ones with leather and brass bought in the sale for £35 each.

If money no object, Hermes Kelly.

I know they aren't to everyone's taste because there are sooo many copies but I have a classic LV Speedy. I hope that it will last a lifetime and I chose it because it is so timeless, Audrey Hepburn had one back in the sixties. I also like Mulberrys and a spanish brand called Tous do some nice bags. I also have a lovely black leather across the body bag that I use for travelling by a spanish desgner called Adolfo Dominguez which I need to get the strap repaired.

I don't and to be honest (sorry in advance to all the designer handbag lovers!), I wouldnt give most of them houseroom!

I have about 11 or 12 handbags, but the most I've ever paid is about £150. I am fickle so it's not worth spending hundreds and hundreds on a bag.

I don't like any of the designer ones much anyway. I live bags that are not too heavy, but have plenty of room for stuff in and pockets or at least a pocket on the outside so I can keep my keys/bus pass handy without having to rumamge around inside.

Mine would be a hermes birkin (ye right, not in this lifetime lol) I think a chloe paddington would be more realistic for me. I have a radley bag on ebay at the minute, and sold another one last year, i did like them but sorry if i offend anyone, i have seen too many little old (sweet) ladies with them!! I am using a chloe-esq bag at the minute, i also have a chanel-esq, but usually bags come from next/river island. I adore handbags, and have just recently read syle clinic by Paula reid and she said that a classic handbag is worth the spend. I now have a chloe paddington on my xmas list...well she did say.....

I love designer bags but I can't justify spending that amount of money on them so all I have is a gold gucci indy bag (I have been wearing this loads recently and I'm quite sick of it!), black chloe baby paddington and a gold chloe paddington. I also have a large cream guess bag and a large cream coccienelle tote which i use for my laptop although I wouldn't really call these 2 designer they are a bit pricier then average high street.

My fave handbag designer is definitely gucci, I might treat myself to another one soon as I really don't have enough bags and gucci bags are gorgeous!

I don't have very many bags really as I will only buy/wear real leather - I hate fake leather, so this limits my choice drastically when I'm shopping on the high street.

I have two Radley bags, but I love them because I love the designs of the Radley range, not because they're "designer". I don't bother with labels and things like that.

I totally agree about the radley bags - they are a bit of a granny bag! Sorry if I offend any radley owners (or grannys!)!!
