<p>Oh, the message I have entered is too short, apparently. </p>
<p>hmm.. </p>
<p>How to make the message longer, then? </p>
<p>uhh...</p>

<p>Many of the girls at my D's campus love these!</p>
<p>I bought a black leather bag from Villager at Kohl's. So far I've loved it. It's very spacious, and I can fit everything in it. And it's VERY classy.</p>
<p>The North Face makes some nice ones.</p>
<p>just not vera bradley please. those are the ugliest bags ever</p>
<p>Does it have to be leather? I love my totebags. The ones I use most are a denim bag with a 1950s Twister logo on the front, and a pink canvas one with leather handles with a velvety Tinkerbell design on one side. I also just made a totebag. You can get them for like $2 at Walmart in various colors (or just plain canvas) and decorate them however you like. The one I made is for my sorority, but it's bright pink with bright pink feathery trim and sparkly puff paint.</p>
<p>longchamp totes are the best......</p>
<p>Seems like everyone here either has Vera Bradley, Vineyard Vines, or Herve Chapelier...</p>
<p>If you are like my daughter and like to have more than one bag, she has a few canvas totes from landsend and llbean. We have found that the canvas are cheaper and hold up better for books. She does own a Chapelier but doesn't use that for books.</p>
<p>Up here the bags from twelvenyc are making a splash, especially with the pirate embroidery on. They're not inexpensive, but cheaper than longchamp, which is also huge here. Great canvas bags, though. I have a mini pirate one that I use as a purse.</p>
<p>How is the quality of Longchamp totes? Do they last a long time? I am looking for something I can use everyday and that I won't have to worry about getting dirty. </p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>willson's leather, if there's an outlet even better. i got this messenger bag that is a tote and a back pack all in one for like 20 dollars and it's all leather.</p>
<p>don't worry it isn't as dorky as it sounds. you can hide the back pack handles, as well as the messenger bag handles.</p>
<p>I know tons of people with longchamps and they've had them forever....the quality is definitely worth it. I mean, with any bag the bottom will get a little worn and dirty, but the material makes it pretty resistant to a lot of things.</p>
<p>I myself carry a Chapelier and it's absolutely wonderful. Well worth the price...resistant to most things I could do to it...holds a ton of stuff...and cute. Highly recommended:)</p>
<p>I love this bag^ I got it at a thrift store for like $2.50, and I have totally lost track of the complements I've gotten on it, from guys and girls alike. And it's a great size for either throwing all your stuff in and using as a purse, or for carrying books to class.</p>
<p>longchamp is god, but pretty expensive</p>
<p>I see girls with those Longchamp totes everywhere, so I finally looked them up to see how much they cost, and HOLY JALAPENOS they're expensive!!! I can't even fathom spending that much for a tote. At least they're cuter than those hideous Vera Bradley bags ...</p>
<p>Vera Bradley bags aren't hideous! I love them. They are quite durable and if they get dirty, you can just toss them in the wash. Guess it's a matter of opinion. I LOVE MY VB bags!!</p>
