I looked at all of them and they are to die for! I think they're a little outside of my budget though...I was hoping to stick to less than $100 (definitely under $200). They are gorgeous...good inspiration for looking for similar bags and getting a sense of what UWP bags are like.</p> <p>Una, LOL, I know! I told you I'm not good with RATE! (I don't even use my old 90's Coach purse much anymore because the bag is scuffed and the corners are all rubbed off). The tear is right at the edge of the lining near the zipper so I'm worried because the zipper gets caught in the fraying easily. Plus I like bigger bags.</p> <p>Parsley, LOL about the "entry-level" UWP. That's exactly what I need! Just dipping my boot in the UWP pool.</p> <p>I did find a studded satchel at DSW.com by Big Buddha:<br /> <a href="http://www.dsw.com/handbag/product.jsp?prodId=257050&#038;category=dsw11cat120016&#038;brand=&#038;_DARGS=/dsw_shoes/catalog/product.jsp.addToBag" rel="nofollow">http://www.dsw.com/handbag/pro.....p.addToBag</a><br /> I don't know if it's slouchy enough (still looks rather structured), but it has some (non-poky) studs on the top and on the flap, and a chain handle. What do you all think, does this look UWP enough? It was only $59 and only one left so I decided to go ahead order it--but I can always return it if it doesn't work out. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/looking-for-an-uwprate-bag#post-784865 Thu, 29 Nov 2012 23:48:29 +0000 catgirl 784865@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have to laugh a bit because having a little tear in your bag lining does make it more RATE, right? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/looking-for-an-uwprate-bag#post-784862 Thu, 29 Nov 2012 23:43:13 +0000 Parsley 784862@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think this one is sort of entry-level UWP:</p> <p><a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/kelsi-dagger-alexandra-satchel/3392254?origin=PredictiveSearch&#038;contextualcategoryid=0&#038;fashionColor=Red&#038;resultback=0" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/ke.....sultback=0</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/looking-for-an-uwprate-bag#post-784853 Thu, 29 Nov 2012 23:28:20 +0000 annagybe 784853@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><a href="http://www.alexanderwang.com/shop/sale/bags/202069/emile-in-leopard-print-haircalf-with-matte-black" rel="nofollow">http://www.alexanderwang.com/s.....atte-black</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/looking-for-an-uwprate-bag#post-784837 Thu, 29 Nov 2012 22:44:48 +0000 catgirl 784837@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><a href="http://www.zappos.com/frye-vintage-stud-shoulder-bag-black-stone-wash" rel="nofollow">http://www.zappos.com/frye-vin.....stone-wash</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.zappos.com/frye-roxanne-flap-crossbody-grey-vintage-veg-tan" rel="nofollow">http://www.zappos.com/frye-rox.....ge-veg-tan</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.zappos.com/frye-elaine-vintage-back-pack-smoke-antique-pull-up" rel="nofollow">http://www.zappos.com/frye-ela.....ue-pull-up</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.zappos.com/frye-vintage-stud-crossbody-burnt-red-buffed-vintage" rel="nofollow">http://www.zappos.com/frye-vin.....ed-vintage</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/looking-for-an-uwprate-bag#post-784821 Thu, 29 Nov 2012 21:57:19 +0000 annagybe 784821@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><a href="http://www.zappos.com/rebecca-minkoff-mab-mini-black-4" rel="nofollow">http://www.zappos.com/rebecca-.....ni-black-4</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.zappos.com/rebecca-minkoff-affair-black-4" rel="nofollow">http://www.zappos.com/rebecca-.....ir-black-4</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.zappos.com/rebecca-minkoff-moonstruck-black" rel="nofollow">http://www.zappos.com/rebecca-.....ruck-black</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.zappos.com/rebecca-minkoff-mab-mini-black-4" rel="nofollow">http://www.zappos.com/rebecca-.....ni-black-4</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/looking-for-an-uwprate-bag#post-784799 Thu, 29 Nov 2012 21:10:32 +0000 cciele 784799@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'd take a look at brands like Linea Pelle, Treesje, maybe Rebecca Minkoff. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/looking-for-an-uwprate-bag#post-784426 Thu, 29 Nov 2012 10:46:16 +0000 goldenpig 784426@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, those are some good picks, Inge!

I've been drawn to UWP style more lately, but the only slouchy black bag I have is this Le Sak purse. The lining is torn inside and it's a little small and I'm thinking about asking for or getting another purse (probably black or dark grey) for Christmas. I'd like it to look a little more UWP/RATE...but not too RATE (it still has to go with my outfits!) I saw a studded bag at TJ Maxx, but the spikes were actually sharp and pointy...ouch! I'd like a UWP-ish bag with a touch of polish to still fit with my style...a gateway UWP bag, if you will.</p> <p>Any suggestions? Thanks! </p>
