The Luxury Handbags We Carry

Admit it, no matter how good a cheap bag can look (and how good you can feel when it was a steal), you just can't beat the high from walking down the street with a $300+ bag slung over your shoulder. Maybe it's our chance to get a little taste of the starlet's life?


Today, the good people of the Luxury Institute issued a Market Analysis for the Luxury Handbag category (calling it a categ
ory kind of takes the fun out of it, doesn't it?). Their conclusion, we know Coach better for handbags than any other brand. Good for Coach, but there's a lot more to like a little further down the list:

Gucci, Luis Vuitton, Prada, Kate Spade -- how many of those bags are in your closet? I have to admit, I think Kate Spade first, but that's just me. But there's a lot of great stuff elsewhere out there. Anyhow, here's the list. Kind of fun to see where your favorite sits or doesn't in the luxury handbag "category"...
