So helpful! </p> <p>BJ, good point about the hobo. Ha ha, if I do splurge on a bag or two from BB, I will only accessorize with a Hermes scarf in my dreams. The satchel does cry out for one though, doesn't it.</p> <p>I ended up ordering the black DAL from ebags:</p> <p><a href="http://www.ebags.com/product/derek-alexander-leather/square-top-zip-handbag/154309?productid=10029328" rel="nofollow">http://www.ebags.com/product/d.....d=10029328</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/derek-alexander-leather-handbags#post-203381 Fri, 20 Aug 2010 00:52:04 +0000 bj1111 203381@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>those bb bags is killing me! my only concern with the hobo is losing things in the bag bottom if there aren't enough inner pockets. the satchel is yummy. must tie your hermes scarf on the handle, for proper poshness. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/derek-alexander-leather-handbags#post-203372 Fri, 20 Aug 2010 00:41:58 +0000 Angie 203372@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I know the brand! Quite lovely. Classic but fab. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/derek-alexander-leather-handbags#post-203294 Thu, 19 Aug 2010 22:40:37 +0000 Sparky 203294@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cookie, wish I could take credit, but I've seen "mwah" written that way before. It's great, isn't it?</p> <p>Sveta, of course! Pics would help, wouldn't they?</p> <p>DAL in black:<br /> <a href="http://i274.photobucket.com/albums/jj258/aegjs5/YLF/DALbaginblack.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i274.photobucket.com/al.....nblack.jpg</a></p> <p>DAL in black second view:<br /> <a href="http://i274.photobucket.com/albums/jj258/aegjs5/YLF/DALbaginblack3.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i274.photobucket.com/al.....black3.jpg</a></p> <p>DAL in brown:<br /> <a href="http://i274.photobucket.com/albums/jj258/aegjs5/YLF/DALbaginbrown.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i274.photobucket.com/al.....nbrown.jpg</a></p> <p>Here is the black BB bag I have my eye on ~ a Birkin style:<br /> <a href="http://www.brooksbrothers.com/IWCatProductPage.process?Merchant_Id=1&#038;Section_Id=473&#038;Product_Id=1469021&#038;Parent_Id=1034&#038;default_color=BLACK&#038;sort_by=&#038;sectioncolor=&#038;sectionsize=#" rel="nofollow">http://www.brooksbrothers.com/.....tionsize=#</a></p> <p>It used to come in red and dark brown as well, but I haven't seen those recently on their website. </p> <p>I &lt;ahem, cough cough&gt; also have my eye on this BB bag:<br /> <a href="http://www.brooksbrothers.com/IWCatProductPage.process?Merchant_Id=1&#038;Section_Id=473&#038;Product_Id=1469010&#038;Parent_Id=1034&#038;default_color=BROWN&#038;sort_by=&#038;sectioncolor=&#038;sectionsize=" rel="nofollow">http://www.brooksbrothers.com/.....ctionsize=</a></p> <p>Currently I use a red leather tote, a black leather handbag (very different style from these others and one I am tiring of right now) and a brown leather backpack. I would love a saddle brown color and eventually blue, cream and other colors, but the styles I fall in love with aren't in those colors so far. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/derek-alexander-leather-handbags#post-203286 Thu, 19 Aug 2010 22:00:19 +0000 Cookie 203286@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh my gosh! First "enboobening", and then "frumpled", and now "mwah"!!! That is exactly what a kiss sounds like but I have never seen it in print before. You are all so awesome! I love YLF!<br /> Sparky - I vote for the brown purse at DAL - and then the black purse at BB. Angie will be so proud! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/derek-alexander-leather-handbags#post-203264 Thu, 19 Aug 2010 21:04:16 +0000 Sveta 203264@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Anne, can you post the link so we can admire it too?:-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/derek-alexander-leather-handbags#post-203243 Thu, 19 Aug 2010 20:10:03 +0000 Sparky 203243@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ha ha, Carole, I guess I don't shop enough either; hubby would beg to differ, though. ;)</p> <p>Michelle, mwah mwah mwah, I'm throwing you kisses! Thank you so much for that info! I just found out that this is a Canadian brand. So I dub you my go-to DAL expert! </p> <p>I do like classic. Let me rephrase that: I adore classic and would eat it with a spoon with a cherry on top if I could. And the bag I found has very classic lines. (When it comes to handbags, I am very much a "give me structure or give me death!" kinda person.)</p> <p>OK, I think I just may go for this. Now the question is, black or dark brown? Maybe brown as there is a black Brooks Brothers bag I covet that is very similar (did I mention I like classic) . . . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/derek-alexander-leather-handbags#post-203210 Thu, 19 Aug 2010 19:04:09 +0000 Carole 203210@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry, never heard of that brand, I guess I don't shop enough (tee hee). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/derek-alexander-leather-handbags#post-203185 Thu, 19 Aug 2010 18:33:02 +0000 Michelle 203185@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Anne, I've seen them irl and the quality is absolutely lovely. The styles I saw were a bit too classic even for me, but they're made of gorgeous leather and seem to be very well crafted. If you found a style that works for you, I'd say go for it! They're not cheap, though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/derek-alexander-leather-handbags#post-203177 Thu, 19 Aug 2010 18:23:19 +0000 Sparky 203177@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Does anyone have any experience with this brand? I came across a handbag online that is a style (and size) that I really like, but I've never come across this brand in person. Can anyone tell me about the quality, durability? Many, many thanks in advance! </p>
