Fake or not, larger the handbag the smaller the brains.

My husband wonders why I need a big purse ... but whenever he needs a tape measure, or nail clippers, or bandaids, or whatever, it's me he turns to, and I always have it! I took that year of Girl Scouts to heart!

You don't have to explain.  You can carry your big bag anytime you want--I do. I love big bags because they fit my big wallet and my makeup bag. I don't carry them when I go out though. Big purses in nightclubs and parties always look just a little silly to me.
Those of you who say you don't carry your designer purses because there are so many fakes intrigue me. I don't get it. You don't want people to think your bag is fake? Who cares? I know I don't. I carry the purses because EYE like 'em so if someone thinks it's fake, I'll never know because I'll never care.

There is nothing worse than a lady with a big@$$ purse in a crowded nightclub/bar who is trying to move about the crowd.
Seriously lady? I think it's OK to leave your day planner, full-size brush, tape measure and sunglasses at home.
It's night, and you're in a BAR!!!
On normal work days I'll take out my big sized bags, but when I'm on a trip I only take smaller ones, and at the bars, I typically use wristlets. They are big enough for your ID, money, cell phone & lip gloss. It's all you need at a bar.

I am a Coach fanatic ever since I bought my first black leather hobo bag three or four years ago. That leather is so soft and supple that no fake bag or cheap purse can duplicate. I have bought a few cloth bags from Coach, but they don't hold up well. I always feel like I've wasted money on them so now I just focus on the leather ones. My latest is this one...
It is absolutely beautiful and will last FOREVER!

you know, i decided to convert all my super-huge bags COMPLETELY into diaper bags when i pulled my wallet out at a store...
...and there was a pair of Dora undies hung up on it.
i can laugh now at it. but at the time it was soooo embarassing! now, most of my stuff is in an XOXO wallet with a strap and thats all i carry!

It's not that I think people will think they are fake - the real ones obviously aren't. It's that I don't want people think I am the type to buy a designer bag because they are the flavour of the month. So, I'll wait till the next trend comes, and then bring my bags out. Let's hear it for the classics!

I probably shouldn't say this here because it makes me a very non-sorority girl, but I don't know enough about what designer bags look like to know whether I was carrying a knock off or not. Purses are the last thing I want to be spending my money on. Mine are generally utilitarian and usually from somewhere like Kohl's. Other than the obvious Coach Cs, I truly wouldn't know...

FYI - Lately if you look in T.J. Maxx or Marshalls you can find a decent stock of designer backs for a fraction of the price it just takes a bit of patience. . .

I went to the Navy Exchange the other day with my sister and couldn't believe how much cheaper the designer bags were! Of all places to find Coach, Fendi, and Dooney...the Navy Exchange! And they had a pretty decent selection.
I managed to not buy anything, but I did keep the NEX in mind when it's time to go shopping for a new purse!

Yes! We get the NEX and MCX weekly ads mailed here at home. Unfortunately, I can't remember if it was the NEX or MCX, but, about once a year, they hold a designer bag sale. (Either way, there's an MCX at Kaneohe Bay.) They'll send out a special flyer specifically for the handbag sale. If your sister is the one in the military family, ask her to keep an eye out for it and let you know when the sale comes.

I was just in wal-mart restocking our hurricane supplies-- and saw a "Goach." I thought about GC. *lol* 
I've never been a Coach fan, but I'm a fanatic over Dooney. I want a new one sooo bad, but I'm saving every penny I can right now for a pool. I allow myself two purse splurges a year, and I've already spent one on a new Vera...
