Icon4 Great Bags Under $500

alright..

people save up and buy the bag of their dreams...
not all of us are rich enough to buy EVERYTHING we want..
(lets see.. chloe paddington, hermes birkin, and thats already well over 10K )
so why not make a thread about great bags that will make our bank a/c happy?

post some great bags youve found.. under $500!!

My favorite sites to shop for 500 and under handbags are www.adasa.com and www.pinkmascara.com

Pinkmascara has a fab collection of Kooba bags which are on sale right now, so you guys might want to check that out.

What I like from Adasa are some of the Isabelle Fiore limited editions and the Not Rational Handbags. (I've got a Nu Bronze Not Rational Gladys bag which I love to pieces EVEN THOUGH the metallic stuff is chipping off!)

There is this Spanish brand called Mango that sells really gorgeous clothes and bags. Their bags for this season are not that good as the previous ones(unfortunately, there is also Balenciaga knock-off ), but there are some groovy finds!

I belive there are also some pretty good finds from Coach.
This may be slightly off topic - I always wait for Bottege Veneta to be on sale, there are some good finds going at slightly above $500. I got my hobo at $550, and it was marked down from $1030, so I think that was really a steal.

cloud, I'm waiting impatiently for that bag to come out in white with gold whipstitching. You can see it on www.koobabags.com

My friend owns a Kooba bag and they are superb quality, beautifully stylish, and, most importantly, a fantastic price .

A lot of Jamin Puech bags are under or around $500 and the quality is usually good. Their website has a listing of JP boutiqes, but the collection page hasn't been updated for a while...you can also buy them at netaporter and at Neiman Marcus stores.

What's weird is that I actually like the Kooba version better than the Silverados--I can't stand snakeskin because I'm phobic of snakes! Just a personal preference.

Isn't this a "designer-inspired" bag? It looks familiar....

ooh white/gold combo sounds amazing
post a pic when you get it?

also.
have you ever seen a kooba bag in person?
the pictures they have on their website only shows them from one angle..
i saw some kooba auctions on ebay and apparently, their "studded" bags had a huge square metal tag with KOOBA on the sides...
i dont know if its just for their studded collection, or if all their bags are like that?
because it will be a real turn off for me if they have a huge gold metal tag on the other side of this bag...
