What Matters Most to You When Buying a Handbag?

Leather. Speaking of handbags, would anyone know when stores will be getting in new handbags for fall and winter?

Right around this time, stores are having their summer clearance. New arrivals should show up within the next week or so.

...I do.

I get "lazy" from time to time, but I keep going back to switching regularly. The "one bag for everything" hasn't worked for me.

You don't have an option that I can vote for. My criteria is style first, and then cost. I don't give a rat's patooty about the designer.

Who has the time or the patience to take everything out of one purse put it in the other and keep doing this?
I have a guess fetish I will only buy guess purses.

I sometimes change purses every week or more often. I get bored easily. That's why I buy cheap ones at Target. LOL With the exception of certain situations (job interviews, for example), I don't care if it matches my outfit. I am usually always carrying a colorful, fun purse. Black and brown bore me to tears.

I do have a thing for Fossil purses. I don't like them for the name, it just happens that if I see one that I really love because of the style, it's usually Fossil.

Leather, leather and leather.... GOOD QUALITY Leather!.. I hate all the bling they put on some purses - just want a good basic leather purse and don't care about designer but do care about costs. ..

Durability and compartments. Leather. Cost.

Does it close with a magnet or with a zipper?

I don't care about the designer.

[lifelongMOgal]

none of the above

Design is more important than designer
Classic style is more important than fashion fad
Durability (must be able to last more than 3 yrs of daily use)

[artemis agrotera]

quality of the leather, and design.

I don't like brands/designers who splash their logo all over their products.
