I'm just curious. I was roaming around a Parisian looking at purses (I was there to get some new Laura Mercier camouflage, but they never seem to be at the counter in the mornings so I was trying to waste some time.) I love the way some brands look, but the only expensive purses I have right now were gifts.

I've been using it for 3 or 4 years straight though. It's starting to wear out though so I am not sure if I'll get another one. I like Coach as well.

i have not found a fall purse that I like at all. It must just be me.

Status: offline 		There are some D&B and Gucci purses that I love, but the Gucci purses can go for over $2,000. I saw one that was near $5,000. My sister loves Coach purses, but they do last a long time. I met a woman in the hospital the last time I was having surgery, and she told me she still has some from the '70's that are still in very good shape.

I like the burberry ones too.


Every high school student here has a coach purse.

Status: offline 		I can understand buying a purse that will last long. I'd rather buy something now for a little more that will last longer... well, I would do that if I had the money. Some expensive purses that I've gotten as gifts have worn out quickly though.

Status: offline 		I started carrying a purse about 5 years ago when they stopped letting me take a backpack into WalMart and the mall and places like that. I've only ever had one and it was less than $15... I had a gift card to a store I don't shop at and that was the only thing I could find there that I thought I might use. I'm looking forward to replacing the purse with a diaper bag, so I don't anticipate buying a new purse anytime soon. It's not something I care about enough to spend much money on, anyhow.

Right now I'm carrying a really cute purse I got on clearance at JC Penney. It's stylish and not too huge yet with enough compartments to carry diapers and wipes and baby snacks. I only carry my cell phone, small wallet, and keys personally. It's kind of a light bronze color so it goes with all seasons, reallly.

I tend to buy a new purse from H&M every season. I don't buy a lot of new clothes each season so I like to buy a very in style purse to update my wardrobe. I've never spent more than $40 on one at H&M.

I think the most I've spent was $45. I do buy good ones and my purses last for many years because I change them often depending on what I'm wearing.

Status: offline 		How about a Hermes Birkin for $55,000? JK....I saw one on ebay. I think it had gold and diamonds on it.

I like Coach bags ($300-400), they are quality and keep their value. Plus, if you get bored with it you can sell it on ebay and put the money towards another one.

Status: offline 		The most expensive one I have personally ever bought was $5 on clearance at WalMart. It lasted 2 years, and really, the only reason I changed it was because my dear friend ended up buying the same one... what make it bizzare is neither of us live in America... we both were there, within 6 months of each other, and chose the same purse. We like to say great mids think a like.

I have a Bass purse right now that was a gift and I love it. I have no idea how much those run or how much she paid, but it's prefect for me. It's like this one but a darker brown.

Status: online 		I have a friend who has been dying for a Coach purse and finally got one on sale for $230. Seriously, I wouldn't buy it if I saw it in a $10 clearance bin. To me, they look cheap because they are so gaudy and "busy".

My favorite brand is Nine West. I love their simple, classic styles, and they last for years. Now, we have a Nine West outlet, so I get them all at really great prices.

Yup, me too. Nine West is typically the brand I end up buying...

We have such good taste, Karlie

Coach does actually have some very nice purses, I love their all leather bags. Like THIS, except I prefer the mahogany color. However, for an all-leather purse I usually just buy Fossil.

I can't believe I just typed that. I swore I'd never tell anyone, and here I am posting this on the internet of all places! <slaps forehead>

That one is a nice one. Most I see are so dazzling, it's crazy! Still, for the price of a Coach, I'd rather have 5 or 6 new ones from Nine West or Liz Claiborne
