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

I've got a few Mulberry bags, but I wait until the sales, and I also save up my points on Consumer Pulse for HoF vouchers before I buy.

The ones I use most at the moment are a Roxanne tote and an Effie satchel. I've got a red/multi Rio, which was hugely reduced on sale, but it has a tendency to catch things on the woven leather, and I once went out with a coat hanger attached to it, and didn't notice until I was on the metro. DH just laughed, while I was mortified!

One of my favourite bags though, is a fringed suede bag from Topshop that I bought in a charity shop for 50p.

I have a Mulberry bag that i bought for £1 from a charity shop. I didnt realise it was a designer bag untill my sister told me, and ive seen one second hand on ebay for £150!:eek: I dont normally get a bargain and this one was a fluke:rotfl:

I've got two black Mulberrys, a large one for everyday use & a smaller one for not everyday.
My DD has a tan Mulberry (we bought it for her last Xmas).
I have a couple of Fiorellis & a Fiorelli beach bag (thats nice), but I never use them. I have a Fiorelli purse I love.
My DD has a couple of Fiorellis too.
DD has a nice Jasper Conran I bough her too.
She also has a brilliant fake Chloe (a real leather fake) I bought it for her in Fethyie in Turkey & its an amazing copy.
Lots of other bags too, but to be honest its the big Mulberrys that we both use 99% of the time.

I have a fairly convincing Fendi Spy from Fethiye market Good quality leather and an absolute bargain! My friend lives in Fethiye so I get 'locals' rates at the market

I also have a great 'fake' Prada tote (allegedly from Hong Kong) in a beautiful butter colour...it always gets loads of admiring glances when I use it....if only they knew

I'm not a label-fiend so definitely not interested in the latest fashion-accessory with logos emblazoned everywhere but I do like good quality. I once bought a beautiful Liz Claiborn bucket-bag at half price in Selfridge's sale and was delighted with it until it was stolen. It was the highest price I've ever paid for a bag and I still haven't found a decent, affordable replacement for it ten years later.

I bid for and won a delightful black Coach shoulder-bag on ebay for about a tenner last year and that's my "good" going-to-interviews/posh day-time bag. The rest of the time I use a Kangol messenger-bag which I bought for a song and is perfect for my needs

Another radley fan here, bought a £130 radley bag last week and purse to match and got a free umbrella, so i was happy.

Penny-Pincher!!

ooooo Handbags:D

I am lucky that I have a few Louis Vuitton's but I RARELY get them out now as I don't get out much being ill:rolleyes:. Used to carry them when going out to the theatre, Westend or eating out with friends etc, but just dont get the chance nowadays.

I sold my Hermes 3 years ago to a friend to pay off a chunk of debt. It had only been carried about 6 times and still had the original box, bags and tags. It was bought as a pressy for me a few years back and I thought I would miss it, but I don't.

My everyday bag is a brown across the shoulder strap Radley and I have the same in black and green. The brown one (reduced from £120 to £75) was bought from JL with vouchers from friends and family over a year ago and the black one was bought from Debenhams in the sale for £50 (reduced from £120) by OH 2 years ago. The green one was bought at the Tula outlet in Ashford (1 yr ago) for £24:j:j:j... (reduced from £120)DD pinches that one all the time. They are a great size and are like new. I also have a large Radley holdall in a red orange and this was from the same outlet reduced from £299 to £69. Used when we go away for the night or hospital:D

I am seriously considering selling 2 of the LV's and just keep the 2 I do use if I go out. They are like new and still ahve the dusters, so should get some good money for them.

Anyone know where is good as I wont sell on Ebay? I still have the receipts.

Just thought I would join as some of you may know from the daily fashonista thread I do like a designer bag:rotfl:

I have a Mulberry bag that i bought for £1 from a charity shop.

Mely, I am soooo jealous I can barely bring myself to quote you;):rotfl:well done:D

I would like to tell you all about my daughter who would seem to have inherited the handbag addiction:rotfl:She has different tastes to me and has bags by Vans, Rocketdog and various independent shops/stalls in Camden lock, she also has free reign of my bags but fortunately she only really likes one or two of them:TDoes anyone else have a handbag addicted teenager? She also has a good selection of shoes and matches bag and shoes when she goes out:)

I have a chocolate leather Juicy Couture that I got on sale in the US in Feb, a couple of Guess bags - one large leopardy grab bag and one beige/brown shoulder bag from different trips to the US last year and last month - would never pay UK prices -, a small black DKNY that I've had for about 5 years and a Marc Jacobs clutch (from his diffusion range so was only $30USD but it's still MJ so I love it!!).....Right now I'm lusting after a Mulberry Roxanne tote, but at £300 in the sale it's still just too much.......don't think I could live with the guilt if I bought it!! Although I am thinking of Ebaying my others to fund it!!!

I desperately want a D&G handbag.. they had them on vivaladiva.com when I first took out my account with them but by the time my credit limit was high enough to buy one they had stopped doing them!!!! Maybe just as well ha ha. Thats the only designer handbag I really want though...

I have a small dark brown Radley that my mum bought me a couple of Xmas's ago but I dont use it much because Im paranoid about losing it, and a tan and green largish cross body Radley that mum bought me last Xmas and is absolutely invaluable when I go away, as it has a long slim zip pocket at the front ideal to keep tickets in, and lots of zipped pockets inside that I use for purse, phone etc. I also have a Ciccia purse (Im told that its made by the same people that make Radley) which is fab - have had it nearly a year now and it still looks new, but I had a Radley purse and it didnt last me five minutes

the closest to designer bags I have are a couple of Mango and Zara purses. I had an Anne Klein sling bag and a very old Chanel from my mom that I use occasionally.
