I'm not a bag person. Last year I was given a FCUK toiletries set that came with a tshirt and a big bag but I don't understand what everyone carries around in such massive bags? I got a little one for my birthday this year which is black faux leather (I wish it was real). It's growing on me since I decided to put my reservations aside and start using it. I'll keep trying though ok!

Junk, trust me, I haul it all around:o

If I am going out in the evening, I'll take a small bag - but I like a big bag for the daytime, I like to be able to fit a light coat or cardigan in it, or put all (or most) or my shopping in it. If it's really hot, it needs to be able to take a small bottle of water as well.

One Radley, One Lulu Guinness and one Gucci.

Radley bought in the sales by hubby, Lulu Guinness in her outlet sale by sister and Gucci given by a friend a few years ago

I adore looking at the bags in the stores but to be honest I hate to spend more then £30 on one myself. I dont treasure the bags, they get thrown in the foot well of the car, kicked under tables in resturants,stuffed full of baby stuff when the GS stays so I would hate to spend so much and feel I had to treat it with kid gloves.

The next bag I will spend on will be the Radley over body bag - so smart and such lovely leather. I have tried to convince myself that the M&S one is just as good (at half the price) but its not working - roll on christmas

I love bags -friend&family are all aware that I love bags &I hoard them.I'm an addict-.I do sell some of my high street bags on ebay though but have been known to regret it afterwards &then buy the same bag again.
I love river island bags &monsoon bags but can't stop myself if I see any I like in primark or matalan either-Tk maxx is getting hard to avoid too.
I also have
1 louis vuitton -My favourite at the moment
-2 small radleys for going out in with purse
1 fiorelli bag with matching purse
2 jasper conran bags
2 burberry bags-a blue version & the original "chav" version.I just can't bear to part with them-I bought them when they were popular couple of years ago
1 dior rasta bag(again don't carry anymore)
1 paul smith swirl bag
Oh treated me to a lovely pink matthew williamson bag yesterday with matching purse from debenhams.I keep all mine in plastic storage boxes &inside my wardrobe in those hanging organisers.
I would like to buy a mulberry or a marc jacobs bag this year &am currently drooling over a gorgeous pink vivienne westwood bag.

I love bags and have a massive collection of vintage leather bags but designer ones just don't interest me.

In India you can get exact copies knocked up within 24hours (in leather with very convincing lining and label) for between £15-30 and I still wouldn't touch 'em.

Suppose I hate being labelled.

Sagaris

One tiny Radley handbag (with matching tiny purse!) that DH bought me in TK Maxx last Christmas.

Apart from that it's usually th local market stall for me - I have to have a 'reasonably' large bag and they soon get tatty!

Well, I am feeling like the poor relation here as I have no designer bags at all!:o

I do like nice quality leather bags and my oldest one is a navy blue drawstring bag which I still regularly use after more than 8 years. But generally I buy them when they are in a sale and don't pay more than about £60. I do treat them to a polish with some saddle soap every now and then to polish them and keep them supple.

If I could justify the money I would probably choose a Lulu Guinness bag.

Phudge...get yourself to Morrisons and you could have a 'designer' bag like mine :rotfl:

I've got a really good fake Chanel one that I use for work, sister in law brought it back from Egypt for me 3 years ago and it's still going strong-a lady in the doctors surgery asked me where I got it from and was enthusing about "real" designer bags as her fake had just broken :rotfl:...naturally I pretended it was real! I'm lusting after a bright pink Pauls Boutique one I saw in Selfridges but sadly I am skint!
