RELAPSER Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 So it's Christmas time and I'm looking to pickup my lady a new bag. I'm trying to find something that's somewhat messenger styled (a sling, over the shoulder type bag) with pockets on the outside and a cover flap. So far all I've found are messenger type bags that have a flap that covers the entire front like a typical messenger, or just a bunch of design your own purse sites that only have traditional styles. I found one bag on Google that would be perfect, but of course, it's like $850. And unfortunately, being the broke college student I am, I don't have $850 to drop on a bag. Essentially, I'm looking for something like this, but more value-priced: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B002GWUF6Y/?tag=bagbunch-20&link_code=ur2&creative=9325&camp=211189 So any ideas? Or places that can do custom work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SwampFightOner Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 I'm into white girls from the suburbs who like $400 bags If a girl didn't like that bag I'd be inclined not to ever have sex with them, cuz it's real fresh.

No homo. shit the white girls i know from the burbs scarf at coach (but its way better then that manly courier thing that dude wants) 400.00 is super reasonable for a bag... im usually in the 1800-5k range... just picked up moms one for christmas that was 2300.00 but it was necessary... i acutally respect the handbag game ALOT, i dont know if its because im a connoisseur of most fashion and footwear but i see it essential for a broad to have at least one designer bag... it adds some class to an outfit... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe in your age range, but in mine they go nuts for the shit haha And come on my friend, you know I'm not nowhere near the 5K level yet for a bag...if I was I wouldn't be able to drink a few grand of liquor every month. That said most people my age still live at home with their parents, nevermind getting their grown man on AND splurging on their girl I also really respect a girl with a dope bag game. I don't like girls who can't put together a nice, classy outfit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SwampFightOner Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 Interesting to see that opinion is so prevalent on here. Where I'm at the only Coach bags hoodrats have are usually fake, and bad ones at that. On the other hand, every preppy white chick I know loves them, and has AT LEAST one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shai Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 CHECK THIS SITE they have some nice custom work, somesmaller bags too that aren't insane [$850! wtf?] http://www.reloadbags.com/ hurry it's almost xmas i have some vintage coach that belonged to my mom, but i spend my money on plane tickets not handbags. I worked for Reload. I recommend them but it takes a while for them to ship, especially around the holidays. This is my friend's company, Freight Baggage (he helped me out when I started making bags in 2003)- http://freightbaggage.org This is a new company that I don't know much about but I like their designs- http://rickshawbags.wordpress.com/ Rickshaw seems a little more geared towards fashion whereas Freight makes messenger bags for messengers. I would personally recommend Freight, but it's really up to you as far as what you're looking for. If you're where I think you are, these guys are nearby and you might be able to find one of their bags locally- http://www.baileyworks.com/ Good luck getting anything mail ordered by Xmas, though.
