Purse recommendations

[clarabelle]

I know there are some purse people out there.
I am purse shopping online.
Does anyone have a purse they adore?
I want a neutral type purse (I don't change them out with different outfits)
For less than 100 dollars
I am 42 years old. I don't want frumpy or exceedingly trendy.
Any suggestions??
Thanks!!!

I love my Vera Bradley bags, but they really don't sound like something you would like. I like them because they are easy to carry and can be machine washed.

Thanks
I will look at them
I hadn't thought about the washing factor

I love my Aigner bags
They are usually leather and get softer the more you use them
They come in the signature wine color, blue, black and tan

I swear by Longchamp.
The more "classic" ones are not too expensive (as opposed to the "fashion" ones)

This is my favourite one:

I like Liz Claiborne. She has lots of styles that have clean lines. I like the colors I've found. Not too flashy (at least the ones I have come across and bought). I like something practical that will take a beating (I'm hard on purses) but will continue to look nice.

ETA- I get them on sale. I'm usually not big on "name" stuff.

Thanks everyone!!
I am taking notes!

I'm not really a purse person. I don't switch out with different outfits. But I LOVE my Fossil brown leather purse. I've had it since May of last year. The smaller ones you can get for less t\han $100. I think mine was about $70-80, it was my birthday present from DH. He knew I wanted a new one and I was going to Kansas City shopping with a girlfriend so he told me if I found one I liked to get it.

My favorite part of it is the wallet part of the purse is built in and on the side. No fumbling with a wallet when I'm paying at the store.

If you have a Dillards nearby they usually have a good selection of Fossil purses. Funnily enough the last time I was looking there was a Fossil store right around the corner from Dillards and the department store had a much better selection. Go figure.

Thanks!!
I like the idea of the built in wallet

I'm looking for a new purse, too.

I bought the purse organizer from The Container Store, so now I need a purse to along with it. So I'm looking for one that has no separations on the inside, but outside pockets for cell phone, keys, sunglasses. I was thinking of getting a red purse, but I don't want to change out all the time, and I'm afraid it'll look odd when I wear purple.

What are good websites for purses?

I recently purchased this on QVC in gold. I absolutely love it, it is really gorgeous in person. I usually use black and brown in the fall so this was a really fun change for me and I've gotten a ton of compliments...and it really goes well with everything.
I'm in my early 50's....I thought it would be too trendy....but I really love it.

Big handbags drive me crazy because I have to dig for everything. I have this bag in black and brown:

I use it at Disney too. It holds tickets,cash,my digital camera, make up,etc.

Does anyone know what East/west means in regards to handbags?
Thanks again I am looking at all your suggestions

I had good luck finding a decent purse at Kohls recently. Their prices were more in line with what I wanted to pay.
