[Dabell]

Love the Kathy bags.....thanks for the site, I also like the dooney's and the lv's, have a couple of each!!! that is one luxury I will allow myself...a great looking purse.....

Yes! Bling is in! LV are nice to have ( I have a few ) But, Kathy's are COOL!

$50.00 to $100.00 for a purse? Are you kidding me? I have never spent over $20.00 for one. However, I guess if you can afford them go for it! I would rather carry a $15.00 purse and spend a lot of money while I am in SoWal for that one glorious week a year!!!!

Zing!!!! I love you KD!! We call Louis Vuitton....Las Vegas amongst my friends! Here's the story:

A friend went to a garage sale in the Park Cities (nice neighborhood in Dallas) and saw a set of Louis Vuitton luggage for sale...CHEAP!!!! She asked the lady if the price was for the entire set...it was! The lady says..."I won that at a charity event and I can't understand why anyone would want luggage with LAS VEGAS on it! Needless to say, that friend bought it without a HAGGLE!!

I'm not a blinger myself, so that is a funny story about LV and Las Vegas. My good friend's dog has an LV collar and carrying bag (pug), which is a bit over the top for me! I do like nice bags - but just very plain and good quality leather or suede. No labels, initials, or advertising in any way! And that especially goes for jeans- I don't want anyone getting up close to my *ss to read what label I'm wearing!

In Atlanta they call LV "The MARTA Bag." I won't explain why - not politically correct. That's why I get the Daumier instead of the monogram. I've never seen a fake Daumier.

Funny- the "board boys" haven't chimed in on the handbag topic. Guess none of them carry a handbag, huh? Or a man bag?

Thank goodness, Beach Runner. I can't see the point of carrying/wearing/buying anything that can be so easily knocked off. You can buy a million fake Pradas and Kate Spades and LVs on the streets, but who on earth would want to? Tacky!

I own two Kathy bags. I have the Metro fall bag in Brown. Everyone stops me to look at the bag. It's the biggest hit in NY and her prices are really low. A lot of styles and they cost from $50 to $150. You girls should check them out! Do not buy them on QVS they are last season. Macy's has them.

:clap_1: Good for you Dabell! I have two Kathy bags, a wallet, and a diaper bag. They have so many nice features, and the diaper bag has some class (I'm not the Winnie-the-Pooh type). I feel a bag fix coming on! ;-)

On the other hand, I selectively use fakes to save money. For example, if I wear a pair of Manolo's, I can get by with wearing them with, say, linen pants from Old Navy, and everyone will tell me how great I look. Or I'll buy, say, a Marc Jacobs jacket at Neiman Marcus and put it with an inexpensive pair of pants and T-shirt from The Gap, and my friends think the entire outfit is Marc Jacobs. Another example is jewelry - as long as I have on anything expensive (clothes, shoes, bag, jewelry), I can get by with cubic zirc stud earrings instead of real ones. People assume it's all real.

A fake LV or Prada bag, on the other hand, doesn't last long. I've tried that, and I don't do it any more.

This is my philosophy also although one pari of BR'rs shoes could probably buy me a new fall wardrobe. ) My tastes are more expensive than my budget so I do what I can! As long as I have a few nice and sometimes trendy items during a season I'm good to go. I love my Levis and tees. I normally don't spend too much on my purses but last Christmas my Mom bought me a Brighton purse. It was smaller than I liked so I returned it and got a bigger one....$100 difference! I get so many compliments on it though. It's a really pretty red and I love the style.
