Help Finding a Good Quality Everyday Women's Hand Bag

geek001 on 01/04/2016 - 14:29

Hi all,

It's my mother's birthday soon and during one of my trips overseas a few months ago, she asked me to look out for a nice hand bag for her. I didn't end up finding anything. To give you an idea what my mother is like, I don't recognise the brand of her current hand bag, but it is red and made of leather, and I think the quality is quite good. I don't think the brand is a luxury brand, otherwise I would recognise it. And besides, she has a few luxury branded bags, but she doesn't use them, because she fears the bag might attract unwanted attention for everyday use. She keeps quite a lot of money in her handbag because she doesn't trust bank cards. Everything she needs is in her handbag. When I was a child, I used to marvel at how she seemed to have everything in that bag.

Is there like a brand renowned for quality and long lasting for hand bags? Like Samsonite of the handbags world?

    My wife is the original bag hoarder
    The most durable bags in her "Collection"?
    Coach and Fossil

    But she also has a few hand made "designer" bags. By that I mean she gave an actual designer clothes that belonged to her mother and father and they made a quality one off bag. Google Suzanne Bag.

    What's the budget?

    The missus has a collection of high end designer handbags she'll take on a night out, but the one bag she uses all the time as a rough daily wearer is a little leather backpack from Witchery. She's had it for over a year now and it still looks great.

    Mum and sister in law use Coach handbags, look great high quality and durable without attracting the attention that an LV / Prada / Gucci handbag might. You can get them cheaper (not cheaply) at factory outlets too.

    Not personally a fan of Oroton, I used to get their wallets and belts and they'd fall apart on me after a couple of years. I thought that was normal for wallets until missus gave me a unisex LV wallet as a hand me down - the thing was 5 years old when she gave it to me, I've used it for 3 years and the condition has hardly changed at all.

      Yes. I forgot to say - Wife gets almost all her bags at outlets - the most recent was a red leather Coach tote that cost her $105USD at the Premium Outlet in Carlsbad $775 here. Hard to object when she shops that well

    Kate Hill is not bad for something cheaper. Used my cross body bag for 5 years now, pretty much everyday, only recently the decorative "pad lock" fell out, still looks great.
