Are you partial to name brand recognizable handbags?

i am - but i dont know why?
its so bad

maybe its becauase i trust their brands?

i need to get off this kick!

AND BTW- I DONT MEAN EXPENSIVE NAME BRANDS ONLY
I MEAN - LIKE ANYTHING FROM GUESS TO GUCCI

HOWEVER I JUST REALIZED I USEDA BAG FROM FOREVER 21 ALL LAST YEAR AND IT WAS $21

BUT I AM NORMALLY PARTIAL TO NAME BRAND BAGS

Re: Do you only buy name brand recognizable handbags?

Honestly, yes I do.

Re: Do you only buy name brand recognizable handbags?

yep- I don't own any that aren't

but they last and I tend to buy classic styles- so I don't see a problem with it

I have sold a few that I don't like anymore

Re: Do you only buy name brand recognizable handbags?

if i like the bag, i'll buy it. the only brand name bag i have, i got it as a gift

Re: Do you only buy name brand recognizable handbags?

i'd say 90% of my bags are brand names. the other 10% are just cute bags that i found for like $40 or $50 that i can use everyday, so if i drop it or it gets wet i dont freak out! the majority of my bags are Coach, i have a few Fendis, a few Guccis, and 1 Louis. I LOVE MY BAGS!!! they live in the boxes they came in and have their own spot in my closet!!! DH gets soooo annoyed with how much room they take up!!!!

Re: Do you only buy name brand recognizable handbags?

Yes, i do not own any non-name brand bags. Its a hobby of mine I guess

Re: Do you only buy name brand recognizable handbags?

I have a few non name brand bags, but a lot of the ones that are name brad are not immediately recognizeable as such. Only two have logos on them.

Re: Do you only buy name brand recognizable handbags?

no
I have some name brand
and many cute no brand ones.

If it looks good, whether its 20 or 200 dollars, Im buying it.

Re: Do you only buy name brand recognizable handbags?

not really, if I like it I will buy it regardless of the name brand.

Re: Do you only buy name brand recognizable handbags?

No.
I buy bags I like and tend to stay away from popular/well known bags.

I have a bunch of Koobas, but I bought them several years ago before the company and their bags became popular.

Re: Do you only buy name brand recognizable handbags?

mostly, but once in a while I will see a super cute pattern bag or a cute color bag that is not name brand and I will buy it (usually cheaper!)

Re: Do you only buy name brand recognizable handbags?

no....names dont impress me...if I like the bag I will buy it!

Re: Do you only buy name brand recognizable handbags?

Yes.....all of mine are brandname

Re: Do you only buy name brand recognizable handbags?

I do...It's an obsession...admitting it is half the battle, Right?

Re: Do you only buy name brand recognizable handbags?

i do this also

if i see a brown bag that is cute but non brand name, i will think to myself "would there ever be a day where i would choose this over my LV?" of course the answer is always no!

Re: Do you only buy name brand recognizable handbags?

As an adult i do...when I was younger i didn't...i mean i didn't even know what Coach was
I work hard for my money so I treat myself to a nice bag now and then

Re: Do you only buy name brand recognizable handbags?

No, I don't. I buy all types. I have 2 designer but the rest of regular.

Re: Do you only buy name brand recognizable handbags?

no, I don't. I happen to LOVE Coach bags. I think they're made very well. I have 1 signature bag and the rest are the all leather one's. I even take the Coach dog tag off because it's annoying.

I really don't care what people think... I just like a good quality bag that will last me for years.

eta: yikes I read this wrong... I thought the Q was do you only buy handbags that other people will know what the brand is.

so my answer is yes, for the last several years I have only bought Coach.

Re: Do you only buy name brand recognizable handbags?

I buy whatever I like, regardless of brand name. I happen to like Coach a lot, but I have only ever bought one for myself, and I have carried it for the majority of the past year.

Re: Do you only buy name brand recognizable handbags?

No, i buy whatever I like regardless of the brand...half the time i don't even look at the name or for that matter, even heard of it.

ETA: I wouldn't mind owning one. There's a few that I really like.

Re: Do you only buy name brand recognizable handbags?

nope, i think its pretentious. a status symbol

Re: Do you only buy name brand recognizable handbags?

Re: Do you only buy name brand recognizable handbags?

Nope. I buy what I like regardless of a tag.
Heck, I have several from Target. And I got more compliments on them then on the coach bag I have.

Plus, most people assume it's a knock-off anyway!!

Re: Do you only buy name brand recognizable handbags?

I think I am more likely to buy a non-brand name summer bag, than a winter one. I find that there are lots of cute straw bags by no-names. I will NOT buy a $250 Coach straw bag I will spend the same money on a nice leather bag.
