| I like the D/B handbag in white, but in terms of a brand or "image" it is maligned by the more "urban" types as very surburban, not hip, ala Coach. Buy what you like. |

OMG - really? I think Coach is fugly and cheap looking. |

"Urban" type here and I don't think Coach is particularly hip. Generally, what I do is go on the website of a very high-end store, like Saks or Neiman's and then find similar styles for less elsewhere. E.g. http://www.saksfifthavenue.com/main/ProductArray.jsp?FOLDER%3C%3Efolder_id=2534374306418111&ASSORTMENT%3C%3East_id=1408474395222441&bmUID=1267009348769&use_parent=1&SECSLOT=LN-New+Arrivals |

I just looked at those and none rock my world except for the Burberry, which are out of my price range. So I guess I just need to sit back and relax with my suburban outlook on life. Which is fine. No use in trying to be something I'm not. |

| To the poster who asked about D&B, in general I think people should get the type of handbag that they like but I have to admit in general I don't equate Coach or D&B as particularly hip brands. If you want a handbag that is a little more modern I like Kooba and Rebecca Minkoff bags. They are generally around $500-$600 range but you can often find them at end of the year sales for less than $200. But again this all depends on your personal style. |

| I'm the white handbag poster and have been lusting for a Kooba for awhile. I need something professional for the work week so a seatbelt bag won't work. But I usually don't switch bags on weekends and need to be concerned about taking something with me to playdates or the park. Okay, I really shouldn't be taking new white Kooba to the park, so I guess I'd have to switch bags, at least while it is new. |

A white handbag would not be appropriate for the office or for a biz wardrobe. It says "vacation" or "Miami Beach" much more so than "professional." And if you wear darker tones, it will really appear out of place against your outfit.
I would also suggest two handbags - one for casual play and one for biz. Few bags can work for both. |

My God. Why on earth would you pay that much for a freaking purse? Donate the money to Haiti if you want to feel good about yourself. |

I got one that looks like that from Nine West last year and I love it. However, since it's red I use it as a fall bag. |

I am totally uncool and even I think D&B bags are kind of Vera Bradley like. |

Look up the "Purseket." It's incredible. I change purses all the time and I literally pull it out and drop it in the new bag. That's it. No fishing around the purse to make sure you got everything or trying to reorganize. |

Interesting. I'm that Dooney poster and love Dooney because it's just a solid color (at least the ones I like are). Vera Bradley gives me a headache. In any event, I guess I'll be very happy yet uncool when I pick this bag up (waiting for the sales). |

Sigh. I literally just placed an order on Bluefly for a red (Rebecca Minkoff nikki) bag. Can I please use it all year?!

| Red can be worn all year, pp! It's a great accent color for just about anything you wear. Enjoy your purchase when it comes! |
