| Kari | I like Vera Bradley, which is "high end" for me but I guess doesn't really qualify as high end. LOL |

If I don't have a coat on that day I give them to hubby to carry if I am carrying my IPad then I toss them in the shoulder bag. I really don't carry anything else

Lol I think I would have to keep it in my desk in the office if I brought it to work, it wuld cost more than any one item that I own, lol!!! How long do women use the same purse though? A lot of women I know buy new ones or alternate between different purses on a regular basis. I don't mind spending money on something that will last me a long time. I am not the type of girl who has lots of shoes or bags ( 2 pair of shoes - work ones and sneakers and no purses at all !) so this would be THEE purse. I heard they are very durable as well. Women at my work have those gucci and louis vutton bags that are like 1200 bucks!! When I showed them this purse they thought it looked great, which is nice to see a vegan purse hold it's one fashion wise

My mom has a ridiculous number of them but doesn't use half of them... though she does rotate them on occasion. I have three at the moment - one that I use every day (which I got for free  ), one that's a cheap but fancy one for special occasions (it's in storage at my parents' house), and one that's good for traveling because it's across-the-body and it's easy to hold your hand over the zipper when you're in touristy (aka pickpocket-y) areas. I usually only change purses when I decide the one that I'm using isn't working for some reason - too big or small for what I'm regularly carrying at that point, or broken beyond repair, etc. That doesn't happen very often, maybe every couple years. I'd personally never spend $450 on a purse (I spend on traveling instead), but if you like it Tigress, it's a really beautiful purse. |

WOW, I thought my new bag was high end. I have the Susanne Nichole "LOVE" bag, but I got it at 70% off right before the holidays. I wasn't even about to pay $95.00 for a bag. Laura

And I was debating back and forth about spending $30 for my vegan wallet. But I buy lots of guitar related stuff that costs as much or more than that handbag so I guess it's about what is important to you. Can't help you out on the brand but I can say that (so far) all of my vegan, made in the USA products have been super durable. If you like it I say go for it. |

| sequoia | I have a Matt & Nat bag. I haven't heard of that brand, though. |

| Poppy | They're gorgeous! Happy birthday! But, no, I've never heard of them until now. I can say that I have adored both Matt & Nat bags I've purchased. |
