Bored? Find me a handbag in the $250 range

L L CG

MIL just called to tell me to buy myself something and let her know what she got me for my birthday!  I want a handbag.  I think around $250-$300 is ok.  I am thinking a nice brown leather that would be good year round.  Or, something else that you can think of.  I'd like it to be big enough to fit a diaper, wipes, my wallet, iphone, etc.

I've been lusting after this one for a while.

I looooooove this bag. I thought it looked a little slouchy at first in the store - but "tried it on" and got it in a pale yellow (its the coach kristin hobo if the link doesn't work right):

Its super duper comfortable on your shoulder. Its made from a super duper soft leather. I love that it has only one strap, instead of two where one always falls down your arm when you're multitasking. It zips super easy, and definitely roomy - I carry around things like a laptop chargers. I've even fit in an ipad in there with no issues.  There aren't a lot of colors listed on the site, but I know there are a lot more options available.

Um, I ? your MIL.  That's awesome. 

I can never figure out how to pip from the Nords website... sorry. I like all of these in the camel or dark-sand colored options.

I like this one too...it's reminiscent of a Chloe bag at about 1/10th the price. I actually think that the greyish tone would go well with anything, including black (whereas I tend not to wear brown or camel/warm tones with black.)

I love that one, but I'm weird about Coach and its too 'spensive.  If I was bold enough to spend $400 I'd get the MJ Classic Q Hillier.  Drool.

CJ- That Chloe cousin one is way cute!

Thanks ladies!

Gah! I posted the wrong link, then - I got the smaller version of the $400 that costs $300. Plus a coupon. :P I blame bitly. But, uh, yeah, the smaller one still fits all that stuff.

Tell Gail she missed my birthday. 

Get that MJ one we were talking about a few months ago!  I lurve mine.  It would be a great carryon for your trips.  Like the one up here in a few weeks.

I have a Coach coupon for $100 off a $300 purchase good through June 20.  Yours if you get over the Coach thing!

Dude, I would, but its 400 bones.  I'd have to really kiss ass if I wanted to get that bag.

Or do something else...  Maybe G would like to kick in the extra hundred.  Just thinking out loud here.

I loooove B. Makowsky purses. They are ridiculously soft. I have 4 and I'll admit I got them all at TJ Maxx. They often have the same ones (i.e. same season) that the department stores do, and for much less. The TJ on Brodie always has a big selection of Makowsky.

Nordstom Rack on Brodie has a large selection of them as well.

So far, I have been successful in avoiding the Rack down south. It was damaging enough when it was only in north Austin. But after this post, I think a new purse might me juuuust what I need. Maybe for Father's Day?

OMG.  Don't go, Sara.  Its better  than the north one.  SAVE YOURSELF! 

FireChiefsBride

Dude, why'd you tell? Now she's going to go get the very last handbag that you wanted.  

You should know that they recently started having sale racks as well.  And sale shoes.

And their shoe selection is probably double the Arboretum.

tee hee!  She has one more, but I wouldn't do that to anyone I like.

I just got an email from Coach about their new collection which is making me swoon. 

Sorry I can't make clicky cause I'm in chrome - I could picture you carrying any of these.
