Some brand ideas for people looking to get another leather bag:

If you want to spead less than $300:

-Tano (Want to purchase one of these myself next month.)
-Perlina (has some things in this range)
-Kenneth Cole
-Elliott Lucca



$300 to $600-ish range:

-Hayden-Harnett (also want one of these, but probably not for quite sometime)
-Rebecca Minkoff (just got one!! OBSESSED. Probably my favorite bag I have owned)
-Cole Haan
-MICHAEL collection by Michael Kors (always a fan of his)
-Belen Echandia

$700 and beyond range....

-Gustto
-Balenciaga (stunning, not purchasing unless I hit lotto)

I started wearing Coach at age 20 and that was the only brand of handbags I wore for over 10 years...nowadays, the brand has lost its quality and appeal.

Lately I love Cole Haan and Michael by Michael Kors. Same beautiful, supple leather and simple yet elegant style that I used to love Coach for.

I really like Vera Bradley, that seems like all I wear. That and a big brown Lucky leather bag. I dislike coach and LV so much, mostly because of the fakes. And Chanel.

Miu Miu. Totally artsy, different, no screaming logos.

I have exactly one bag and I wear it everyday.

I like Cole Haan (some of the more unusual embroidered ones), Oovoo and Il Bisonte.

A lot of the more popular "hi-end" brands don't appeal to me. The idea that I'm dishing out big bucks for something that high-school kids carry around just doesn't do it for me.

I like Bree out of Germany. The quality of the leather is fantastic and it isn't loaded with "bling" which most often than not just looks cheap.

Plus, I don't see it coming and going on every street corner.

I carry a Butler bag (butlerbag.com) it has compartments in it so that when you open the bag, you don't have to dig/search. She has just come out with several new styles that cost a lot more than my $100 bag did. I have the smaller size but I am looking to buy the larger size. It is a great bag.

I am into COACH, have been for quite awhile... I don't like the ones with their brand all over it though (c's) , I really only like their leather ones.... I don't like LV because their logo is all over everything for the most part.
Also have a Prada bag and some Kate Spade. I think she is classic.
I just saw a beautiful Dooney bag at Nordstrom's , it a large,pouch style and a beautiful kelly green. ( I also saw a beautiful blue one in IN STYLE).

I have a LuLu bag as well,it is a great Summer bag-very fun!

My favorite, unique designer is hands down Hayden Harnett. I have 7 of their bags and love them. I also love that not everyone has one, it's different. I always get tons of compliments.

Do you have a Lorca Turnlock by chance???

I really like this H.H. bag, but am trying to figure out how big it is.

Could I comfortably fit a digital camera? Mine is a little big.
