I agree with some of the comments. I love bags as well and there are a lot of fabulous chic bags by many designers. I just bought three bags last week from Loehmann's in NY. Browse department stores where there is always a sale. Many offer coupons. Check on line sites like Bluefly.com. NET-A-PORTER.com and the like. Although name brand is great, you can really get quality leather bags at affordable prices. Also, check out boutiques who offer quality and style and the plus side is everyone won't have your bag. I like Kooba, HYPE, Linea Pelle, Rafe New York. Cynthia Rowley and Besty Johnson make really cute and different bags. I can go on and on but you get the idea. Oh, I also love Coach bags. Try to get the limited edition styles. I have Coach bags I have never seen on anyone. Lastly, try outlets, T J Maxx, Anthropologie and Urban Outfitters. Happy shopping. I am late one this post.

I purchased my Damier Speedy 25 last year right after new years and haven't looked back. I believe it is a must have for all women, you can dress it up or down.

This really helped me. I have 4 of the 5 high range bags. I was considering getting rid of two 1) Balenciaga City Bag and 2)Gucci Jackie O . However, I decided to keep both after reading the article. I have a love hate relationship with LV. Nonetheless, I have small collection, which I had for years. My speedy has been sent out for service, so I have been carrying the eclipse lately. I don't have a YSL. Really don't like this one. My true dream bag - like every other fashionista - is a Hermes Birkin. Maybe one day I will be able to comfortably add one to my collection. ~That would be dreamy.~ Thanks again, Kim Claire,

Love love love this site, and kudos to the upgrade. I have to agree with one of the previous posters, laides please expand your bag line (when $$ permits). I've recently moved to Berlin (from Toronto) and everyday I literally ask people where they get their bags because I see amazing bags 24/7... Europeans def. have fashion on lock. Another fave site of mine is bluefly.com . I drool at the bags on there and they have a really wide range of bag collections/designers. As a bag FIEND this post is right on point.
