yo, don't diss target bitch wink.gif

if you take care of a $15 bag it can get the same amount of use as a $500 bag. also talking about going out of style, hello some LV and coach bags have definently gone outta style. it is all just a matter of time before something becomes "unfashionable"

you dont think that could be because target is a reletively new store, do you? wink.gif

but do you really think that anyone is going to use one of those doony and bourke bags for the next 20 years either, do you? because who gives a damn about quality, theyre too trendy to last practically.

besides which, if you pay that much for a bag, youre going to take care of it, or if you mess it up it will actually be a loss, whereas, if you take care of a cheap bag, it can last too, and you wont be skrewed it something happens to it

i understand what you're trying to say...but i don't think too many people would like to have the same purse for 20 years...

I like LV but haha of course I would never be able to afford one.. right now. Maybe after I get a job. I think certain ones are actually pretty, while others are ugly. The black/white with multicolored LV purses are ugly.. But the cherry blossom one or plain monograph ones are pretty.. :] Of course, also the design of the purse is significant.

I hate any kind of Dooney and Bourke purse. I've seen NONE that are pretty. Coach PWNs D&B anyday. Coach is more.. everyday kinda thing.

D&B ARE HIDEOUS. Just because some unartistic designer decided to come up with trying to create abstract random, rainbow-colored purses and knocking up the price up a big notch does not make it trendy. I see a lot of people having D&B purses at my school. I personally think Coach is better.

But then again, I'm not that big of a trendy person right now. It is true though, that the more expensive, the more likely the purse will last. But then again, sometimes that's not the case. Bags can still use the same amount of fabric, but depending on the design of that purse, the bag will cost more.

it does look like it was drawn with crayon though. those bags are really popular at my school right now. mostly with the white girls though. but that rocawear purse was really cute, think i need to cop that.

I personally love D&B. I love all their bags. And Coach too. As for that Rocawear purse, I have to say it's just about the ugliest bag I've seen. Ever. But then again, it's just not my style.

I'm not into designer bags. I'm going to learn how to make purses and make my own stuff.

Dooney and Bourke bags aren't that ugly..it's just the ones you posted that are really gross. Alot of their bags are really really nice, but some are hideous. The only reason why people think that they're for little kids is only because the most popular ones are the colorful styles and the heart styles. Especially because color is in this year, it's only commercial trying to attract younger teens to their bags. Dooney and Bourke has alot of monotone, sepia colors too, for example:





and these are some of the ones that you DB haters get sick of because you're so used to seeing it all over the place in school:




the really ugly ones are like the ones you posted and the heart collection..eww. but these are pretty cute.

My friend has a Dooney and Bourke purse and I think it's adorable. I don't like the other ones they've made, though. Hers is just really simple and cute.



Haha. It has the mouse saved in the picture. whistling.gif
