If you're really familiar with the design and make of the bag it's generally pretty easy to spot the fakes. Also, The Purse Forum is a great resource.

She uses several ones for different occasions anyway and will match them with her clothes, so to me she qualifies. Myself, I'm more of a one bag person. Because otherwise, don't you know, something I just NEED will be in The Other Bag. So I want The Bag, the one that is Just Perfect. (I'm done capitalizing now, promise.) And I've never been that wealthy but I have been unlucky, so I just know that if I pay a lot of money for something it's going to be ruined. I want something medium priced with just the right amount of pockets, that can take being in the rain in my bike basket for twenty minutes like. Not that I need to cycle in the rain for twenty minutes to anywhere from where I live now, more's the shame for my waistline. And since I can't find the perfect bag I Make Do. (I lied.) In other words people are looking at my bag going DEAR GOD what is she CARRYING HER STUFF IN. But I really like the style in the BR link. Not enough outside pockets though, you need zipped outside pockets for bus cards and phones and stuff. I think bags are HARD. There's a Folksy shop that makes lovely bags but they don't have many in at the moment and I'm afraid they'll fold before I have a chance to make up my mind. :( http://folksy.com/shops/TheLeatherStore <br />banihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17014197149063468132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1145183089731808312.post-8440238250786859732013-01-14T15:15:07.769-08:002013-01-14T15:15:07.769-08:00I'm so not a bag person, I think because I nev...I'm so not a bag person, I think because I never really notice other people's. So other people are probably looking at me thinking--I know she paid a lot for those boots so why's she carrying a ratty bag with strings hanging off of it? :D tonia329https://www.blogger.com/profile/06344278832932541430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1145183089731808312.post-9630271434890714452013-01-14T14:57:26.864-08:002013-01-14T14:57:26.864-08:00I am a bag person more than anything - I can take ...I am a bag person more than anything - I can take or leave shoes, but I must have my bags. I believe in quality over quantity as well (but, um, I don't seem to have a problem with quantity judging by the number of bags I own). One of my favourites is my MJ Preppy Hobo (looks almost identical to Hillier Hobo) in a great bright purple. You're right that it's such a great shape and size, I'd love to get it in another colour.

After seeing your bags, I knew I liked your style right off the bat! That LV is absolutely stunning.<br /><br />Sadly, I have a very small handbag budget. While I have had a few great Coach and Furla bags over the years, my current rotation consists of a indigo MJ Blake, a black MBMJ turnlock Faridah, a black Treesje Asher, and a really cool printed Roberto Cavalli with tigers. All are secondhand from Ebay or Bonanza. Currently I'm in search of something colorful, or a light metallic, for spring. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
