so i notice the luxury handbags are really the only market out there now. what about bags priced from $15-60? i've become oblivious to this price market because to me - i want something that'll last forever and usually cheaper bags are either TOO trendy, TOO fake (ie: poorly knocking off high-end bags) and are using really sad leather ... leather that clearly looks cheap.

what's your view on great bag silhouettes with cheaper fabric choices? say... a tweed bag with a great silhouette that's at like $50.

if you were looking to pay a cheap amount for a bag... why would you do it and what would you be looking for in a bag at that price?
