Handbags

@SharkE,

I have a request ...

Someday would you take a picture of your handbag closet??  Or wherever you store them??

I would love to see your collection.

I love that bag!  It is adorable and has a lot of great features!

@SharkE I don't see if you said...but I'm guessing not real leather for $42. I get it if you only care about having the "look for less." Although, maybe it is, sometimes Amazon can manage even leather at low price points...still you get what you pay for.

As for me, if I wanted that tooled style, I'd go for real leather, in a notable brand that would last me "forever." Some get better with age.

I like the Patricia Nash bags (though I realize we have fans and also those who aren't impressed with the brand, here. I have two of her bags and love them both. Neither are the tooled look, though.)

Also, I second the American West brand, and that would be my first choice for this type bag. I worked in a Southwestern boutique, here in CT! (an anomoly here, but the owners had a passion for the Southwest and Native American jewelry, and traveled to New Mexico, Arizona for goods at least 3 times a year.) It was a beautifully appointed store...we carried American West handbags...really beautiful and, at least in our store, they were not out-of-site expensive, especially for the craftsmanship. Also, if anything happened to the bag, AW would repair them. (I forget if there was a cost involved.)

@SharkE Anyhoo...pretty looking bag, but I'd go for the real deal if it was me. Enjoy if you get it, hope it works out.

This will get poofed. I like to see the forum go back to the old days. If I could quote Waylon, "Let's get back to the basics....."

I love it.

@amyb    I have 50 of Patricia Nash's bags. Of course,

this latest one is not real leather. I'm completely transparent when I posted the picture. Just a 42.00 bag. Synthetic leather. I love the interior divider bags.

My most expensive bag is a $400.00 # that Leah presented as being made in Italy in a little family shop.

All handmade and exquisite craftsman ship.

I have 1 Brahmin. Few Dooneys. Few Michael Kors.

Haven't conquered Brighton yet. (I'm working on it)LOL

I'll post my big shelving unit full of bags when I can take a  picture.

@SharkE Wow, you are a dedicated bag girlie! Sorry, I missed your "transparency" if you mentioned the non-leather...I sometimes scan these posts quickly before I comment.

So, when/how do you wear/use all these...do you switch everyday?!
