Fashion mavens...help me find a bag...

for my SIL as a present from her husband (my brother).

His budget is $150.

She's in her late 20's, trendy, a mom of 2 (no "mom" bags though), this is their 12th wedding anniversary.

I suck at shopping for bags...and usually get whatever's on sale at Gap. Chat Icon

Please help me. I'm running out of time and really want to help my brother.

Thanks! Chat Icon

UPDATE:

I told my brother to look at Guess? bags because they always knock off designer styles...I think he did great...this is what he's getting her:

Sasha- where are they located?

If they're in NY, Century 21 had a nice range of stuff.

Are they near a Coach outlet? Good stuff there too.

Do you know if she would prefer leather or fabric?

I knew you would answer! Chat Icon Chat Icon

We're all here, in GA.

No preference. My brother's giving this as an anniversary present, so he just asked that it be really nice.

She's trendy...tiny (b!atch! Chat Icon ) and dresses up to go out a lot.

Although this bag would be for every day use...hope that helps!

how about this bag?

it's slightly over budget, and I would think trendy... although it is small.

here's another

they have them in plain leather too. if you have a Coach outlet nearby, GO THERE! the prices are so much better.

Yup, she was my best friend in 8th grade too...so she fell in love with my brother and it was gross to me. Chat Icon Chat Icon

But 12 years later, they're still going strong and I have 2 beautiful nieces that I love to pieces.
