I prefer smaller designers. My mother has a few Mulberry bags, but personally, I don't feel the same towards Mulberry since it was no longer under the Saul's control and was bought out: the bags seem ''over branded'' to me and the clothes seem of a much lower quality, but I do think some of the bags are still lovely, just...not for me. My smartest black bag is Osprey, (an 18th birthday gift) and I hve another designer black bag, less ...smart and restrained though.

I was away last week and had to choose one bag to last me through several outfits and travels, and I chose a big slochy one my sister made years ago (maybe 35 years ago!) and which I have since died and repaired several times. Its slouchy and comfortable, and no designer could replace it!

My daughter has gone to school with my Christian Dior across the body bag:eek: although this may seem a bit over the top she really looks after her stuff and looks great, I hardly use the bag (in fact I forgot I had it) so at least its getting an outing:T

I just received my new Mulberry Roxanne bag today and I can safely say that I've never seen anytging so beautiful. I'm in love...with a handbag...

It's black patent canvas with leather straps and it's covered in buckles - so beautiful. The leather smells AMAZING!

Greatly reduced in the Mulberry sale I hasten to add!

I'm off to just go and stare at it for a bit longer...

I don't own a designer handbag - my little cheapy brown leather bag is enough for me! Designer bags always seem to be really small or really big, and if I had a big bag I think it would just encourage me to fill it with unneccessary junk...

That said though I would love to own a Radley or Marc Jacobs bag one day, but I think the latter is because I am a magpie for Marc Jacobs stuff, to the extent that I have gone into Selfridges to look at shoes, gone "Ooh that's nice!" and it's been a Marc Jacobs one! *may need help*

One of my favourite topics - handbags! I never thought I'd find a thread like this on this site though and thought posters ooh-ing and ah-ing over expensive bags would get flamed!

Every bag I own is designer except for two - one a pretty sparkly 'miniaudiere' I got on ebay for £15 (from Hong-Kong) and the other was an H&M birthday present.

My most used bag is a black Coach bucket bag with patent trim and four little buckles on the straps. Its v classy and I got a matching wallet as well as a black circular Coach coin purse. I got all three for a total of about $300 in a thanksgiving sale in Virginia.

My favourite is a black Fendi baguette bag puchased about five years ago for about $270.

My most expensive is a Brown Gucci crescent shaped bag purchased for $530. I love the heavy gold hardware on this one.

I wouldnt buy another designer bag anytime soon as I now have kids and other priorities (and bigger bills as I now have a mortgage etc!) but I'm glad I got those when I did cos they all look almost good as new due to the quality. It was money well spent :-)
