My favorite purse is my black kate spade pia - it has a super-simple, classic rectangular shape and a slim strap. It matches with everything and is the perfect size to hold my everyday essentials - wallet, keys, cell, and of course, lip gloss!

PATENT LEATHER ME!
#1.1 CAROLYN on 2008-02-26 03:14
Your giveaway is too cute-- it's black and goes with everything!

I like medium to large sized bags just that I can carry everything that I need, usually for work and school purposes. I own a Louis Vuitton BV for going out purposes and I carry my Lacoste sporty bag for casual use. So usually different bags for different occasions.
#2 Betty on 2008-02-25 10:28
Gotta love the giveaway. This is totally my style!
#3 Lori Berman on 2008-02-25 10:36
Because I carry my "life" in my purse, my favorite is a black, lightweight bag with straps that can be carried or over the shoulder. Unfortunately, I cannot close the top as is intended, because my "life" is rather messy and overcrowded at times.
#4 Dianne W. Fuzek on 2008-02-25 10:39
i used to have a favorate but now this prize your offering totally puts i to shame. the prize has now become my favorate!!!
#5 susan varney on 2008-02-25 10:42
I do love a big bag, so i thraw all my junk in it without a hassle, I really have enjoyed juicy coutures leather designs lately
#6 monica on 2008-02-25 10:43
go ahead make my day :-)
#7 Tonya Keener on 2008-02-25 10:45
My favorite handbag is a backsaver bag from LLBean.
Mine is in a tapestry design of paisley pattern. The colors are brown, rust, blue green and wine.
It is big enough to carry all my essentials but not so big that it looks like a backpack.
Due to the design it doesn't make my shoulders and back hurt.
I get compliments on it frequently.
I enjoy this style purse so much that when one wears out I order another one.
#8 Lynn Bryden on 2008-02-25 10:48
My favorite handbag is my Elliott Lucca 'Frida' Bucket Bag.
#9 Lesha (Homepage) on 2008-02-25 10:49
What a nice giveaway !! Thanks !!!
#10 Jason on 2008-02-25 10:51
Cute bag.
#11 Annette Taylor on 2008-02-25 10:53
Nice purse.
#12 charline on 2008-02-25 10:53
My favorite is any handbag that I can carry by the handle. Anything over my shoulder always seem to fall off all the time. But no one can have enough handbags :-)
#13 Huguette on 2008-02-25 10:55
My favorite handbag is one I can store enough stuff to make it through the day yet not look stuffed & gaudy. I've found the backsaver from LLBean to work out well and is a favorite of mine.

Thank you.

:-)
#14 Teresa N. on 2008-02-25 10:55
One that I can carry easily.
#15 Shannon Baas on 2008-02-25 10:58
I'm almost embarassed to say that my favorite handbag is my tan and black handbag that looks like leopard print, but is actually little Mickey Mouse heads. It fools everyone. I bought it at Disneyland years ago. I am in dire need of a new handbag!
#16 carol on 2008-02-25 11:01
My favorite bag--right now, anyway, since it changes--is Matt & Nat's Jorja Fox bag. It's soft, slouchy, holds everything I need, and I just love it.
#17 Michelle S. on 2008-02-25 11:01
I don't have one favorite, I love to switch out my bags.
#18 Connie G on 2008-02-25 11:01
I need a big purse because I carry a lot of things with me. I always feel awkward and lost with a small bag. Black is my color of choice because it stays clean the longest. Never had a designer bag so thank you for giving me this oppertunity.
#19 Gail Abazorius on 2008-02-25 11:04
I love my Vera Bradley lime green tote. It's simple, cute and holds everything. However, I need a "going out" purse.
#20 Carissa Davis on 2008-02-25 11:10
I like the Fendi 'Forever' Satchel - would be great for summer. I do like handbags I can carry on my shoulder, much easier for me.
#21 Jodene Gildea on 2008-02-25 11:13
I love the BCBG Max Azria Mona Leather Wristlet even though it's unavailable.
#22 Marlene Crider on 2008-02-25 11:13
A cute little blue jean purse with an actual brown leather belt in the waist area. its not one of those homemade jean purses. Everytime I carry it people want to know where I bought it.
#23 Sheila C Branyon on 2008-02-25 11:14
I like my big bag
#24 Janice Whitaker on 2008-02-25 11:17
I love any bag that is big, I always have alot of stuff. This is a cool prize because right now my baby's diaper bag is my purse.
#25 Paula Harmon on 2008-02-25 11:18
I seem to walk a little taller when I feel confident in my attire.
#26 debra cook on 2008-02-25 11:22
I love big brown leather hobo's. Jessica Simpson (suprisingly) has a cute line of these type of handbags. Thanks for the great giveaway!
#27 Danielle M on 2008-02-25 11:24
thank you so much would love to win this!!
#28 rebecca marbas on 2008-02-25 11:30
Anything free.
#29 Margaret Herrin on 2008-02-25 11:30
I need a purse for really nice occasions.
#30 Patricia Schraier on 2008-02-25 11:42
I usually go for a black bag that can hold a bunch of stuff and has a lot of pockets and a long strap so I don't have to hold it. Thanks.
#31 Teresa Iverson on 2008-02-25 11:42
OH! Basic black! goes with any outfit. Please choose me!!!!
#32 Bernadette Holbrook on 2008-02-25 11:43
very unique!
#33 Carolyn Nedrow on 2008-02-25 11:44
fav handbag is my Coldwater Creek black tote...love it, it's functional and looks great...

Like this one for giveaway also!
#34 sherri on 2008-02-25 11:45
My favorite bag right now is actually a black suede Etienne Aigner that has a little pocket on the side and a big zipper on top. It's bigger than I need, which is kind of bad because I end up stuffing more and more in there, and then have to lug the darn thing around!
#35 Misti on 2008-02-25 11:51
I would love to win a designer bag since I have never owned one. I did recently get a Vera Wang blouse and so very happy that she is now @ Kohl's for us that are on a budget and not able to afford otherwise at other stores. My favorite bag is mostly a hobo type with just a few inserts for cellphone and a pocket for keys, etc. They are roomy and I love that I am able to get just what I need in them. I love to wear my bag under my arm because that makes it secure for me going out. I would love to win and thanks for this wonderful giveaway. ;-)
#36 Carolyn on 2008-02-25 11:52
black goes with everything,that's my favorite
#37 Rosa Bartolucci on 2008-02-25 11:55
I would love one of these. I have only owned coach and LV i would love to sample out one of veras!
#38 Adriana Massanelli on 2008-02-25 11:59
My Favortie bag is it is not to small or to large. If it is to big, I always put to much stuff in it. To small and I am forgetting to put in the important stuff. This is just the right size.
#39 Sharon on 2008-02-25 12:02
I like medium bags
#40 Emilia on 2008-02-25 12:06
My favorite purse is one my husband bought me for Christmas. It's not a name brand purse, but it's black and studded and has a huge "diamond" studded fluer-de-leis on the front. It holds all my "stuff" with ease and that's important!
#41 Sharon on 2008-02-25 12:06
I like shoulder bags and love Fendi sachet!
#42 Elaine Rosser on 2008-02-25 12:08
Vera, Vera!
#43 Kimberly Cook on 2008-02-25 12:08
My favorite handbag is a Bally shoulder bag that I got while vacationing in Switzerland almost six years ago. It was a limited print that never came out in the US, so it always seemed super-unique. Unfortunately it was made of canvas, and I wasn't the most careful owner...
#44 Alexa Whitehead on 2008-02-25 12:11
cute
#45 Frances Carty on 2008-02-25 12:13
That bag is to die for! :-) My favorite bags are shiny and free.
#46 M Carraway on 2008-02-25 12:14
The perfect bag for me, is one that is just large enough to hold all of my stuff, but still comfortable to carry and convenient. I really like a simple black purse like this, because it is versatile and will go with most of my outfits. I get tired of always having to switch purses because the one I'm carrying doesn't go with what I'm wearing.
#47 neleigh perkins on 2008-02-25 12:16
Love the big bags...gotta have a LOT of room and pockets And be able to last a long time!
#48 Chrystal Davis on 2008-02-25 12:30
i need a purse wide enough to hold my handicap card
#49 beverly paquin (Homepage) on 2008-02-25 12:30
I love hobo bags..big bags with shoulder straps. I also have a thing for zipper closures on bags (so my stuff doesn't fall out). Anything with dangles and bling on it makes me happy.
#50 Michelle on 2008-02-25 12:34
Roses are red
Violets are somethin'
I wish I could win
'Cause I never win nuttin'!

Thanks much.
#51 susan wiener (Homepage) on 2008-02-25 12:35

#52 Adriana Massanelli on 2008-02-25 12:36
please i love this bag
#53 ston y on 2008-02-25 12:42
I've got all sorts of stuff
My purse is not for the meek
So I need a bag that's tough
But of course, ever so chic!
#54 Shannon Hogan on 2008-02-25 12:44
No favorites, but could sure use a new purse
#55 veronica sandberg on 2008-02-25 12:45
I don't have one, that's why I need a new purse.
#56 Jill Brott on 2008-02-25 12:45
Oh this bag was made just for me!
Black goes with everything, it's big so I can stuff all my belongings in there & It's Vera!

Thanks for the contest!
#57 Jessica Maurer on 2008-02-25 12:52
Thanks for the Contest!
#57.1 Sheryl Bunn on 2008-02-25 12:54
my favorite bag is anything that i can carry all of my stuff in, with 2 kids everything ends up in your bag. but i saw this bag in person and it is beautiful, it would be nice to have a pretty bag. thanks
#58 michelle lopez on 2008-02-25 12:56
My favorite is sized between medium and large and black. I love black purses.
#59 Dolores Q. on 2008-02-25 12:56
I like a medium size bag, not too deep, with several compartments.
#60 Kathleen on 2008-02-25 12:59
my favorite hand bag is medium sized, lots of compartments, and comfortable to carry
#61 catherine miller on 2008-02-25 13:01
My favorite hand bag is taller than it is wide, made from a durable natural material, with at least two pockets inside to help me keep organized. In the spring I like bright colors and the rest of the year like neutrals.
#62 Reveille Patterson on 2008-02-25 13:04
one that will fit all my stuff and still be comfortable to carry while being stylish!
#63 Marilyn Wons on 2008-02-25 13:08
First of all, the giveaway is so fab! I love.

Anyway, my favorite handbag would be my speedy 25 monogram from LV. It has room for all my everyday needs! It's very handy and stylish at the same time. I love using it especially when I'm keeping it simple. It's worth the splurge. :-)
#64 Maecy (Homepage) on 2008-02-25 13:09
My favorite bag would be a white tassle "IT" bag from Dooney Bourke. I have been trying to win one on ebay for what seems like forever. No, I'm not fortunate enough to already own one. Woe is me!
#65 Tracey Byram on 2008-02-25 13:15
BLACK, BLACK, BLACK
#66 HOPE TEICH on 2008-02-25 13:16
I love all of Vera Wang's merchandise. This would be wonderful to win.
#67 Sandra D. on 2008-02-25 13:19
I don't like large bags(feels like I'm carrying a suit case) I like a medium size one.For some reason I only like solid colors.No designs.
#68 barbara richards on 2008-02-25 13:21
My favorite handbag is a silver clutch that was my great-grandmother's from her flapper years. I remember playing dress up with it as a child and now, with its timeless clasp and iridescent silver, it takes me everywhere. From dates with my husband to formal events I can always carry it with confidence.
#69 Christine H on 2008-02-25 13:23
I am not too picky. I prefer black, medium sized. Big enough to hold everything but not huge like a tote.
#70 Terry on 2008-02-25 13:26
My favourite bag is the one I'm using right now. it is light, brown, and holds a whole lot of my crap. I need super-large bags or purses in order to carry everything that I need for myself and anyone else around me.
#70.1 Tania Bugnet on 2008-02-25 13:31
My all time favorite bag is a Bottega Veneta woven leather shoulder strapped messenger bag that I found at a private school rummage sale. It has never gone out of style, still looks great (I rub it down with saddle soap every so often) and cost me $3.00 almost 30 years ago.
#71 sal williams on 2008-02-25 13:39
Right now my current favorite is a little wild hot pink with different colored circles on it... I am trying to rush spring along!
#72 Jennifer Callahan on 2008-02-25 13:40
black kate spade pia... very nice!
#73 Kimberly R on 2008-02-25 13:42
My favorite handbag would half to be something roomy,to hold all of my thing's.Being a mother to three children i need the space!
#74 alicia gaddes on 2008-02-25 13:47
My favorite handbag would be one stuffed with money!
#75 Carol Harrity on 2008-02-25 13:49
I love my MyMaineBag which is green canvas. It has good compartments (but not too many.) The best feature is a zippered top so when I travel it can go down on the security check without anything falling out!
#76 Frankie Miller on 2008-02-25 13:54
This bag is much more fashionable than my current purse. My kids would think I was "cool" and "in touch" with a purse like this. Looks big enough to cart around everything I have in my purse.
#77 Tonia Rowe on 2008-02-25 13:57
What a beautiful bag! I'd just love to win it.
#78 roseann kies on 2008-02-25 13:58
I like a medium size - black or basic color. straps for my shoulder with lots of pockets and zippers
#79 Vicki Wurgler on 2008-02-25 13:59
Siple Vera Purse is a Winner on its own!

Thanks for the Contest!!
#80 Linda Kay on 2008-02-25 13:59
I prefer a East/West handbag, lightweight and with lots of organizational pockets... especially ones that make my cell phone & keys easy to access!
#81 Rita M on 2008-02-25 14:05
I love my Fossil pink carry-all. It is great for everything.
#82 Sarah T on 2008-02-25 14:06
I like a medium sized handbag. It needs to be large enough for some essentials, but not as big as an overnight bag. I am on the move, so if it is too big, it will just get in the way. I also like to have comfortable straps or a handle.
#83 Jennifer Barnett on 2008-02-25 14:06
Gosh, that one is cute. I'd love it!
#84 annulla on 2008-02-25 14:11
Simply beautiful!
#85 Erica G on 2008-02-25 14:14
What I have and kind of like is my Oakley Blue Purse but its sort of to small in size but it works.
#86 Michelle Simons on 2008-02-25 14:18
my favorite bag right now is the Chloe Paddington Large Dome. It's amazing! But it's over $2,000 and that is just nowhere near my target price for a bag, but it is beautiful!
#87 leah pesso on 2008-02-25 14:19
I like black with a lot of pockets
#88 Dan Smith on 2008-02-25 14:21
i would have to say my handmade square Baccarat cigar box i bought in a small shop in key west. it's always a conversation piece where ever i take it and it reminds me of a great time i spent with my mom!
#89 pauline jones on 2008-02-25 14:23
Medium size dark color
#90 Susan on 2008-02-25 14:23
my favorite handbag is a medium sized hobo
#91 jeanne pellin on 2008-02-25 14:27
This would go with everything I wear.
#92 Stacey Shehorn on 2008-02-25 14:32
enter me please, thank you for the contest
#93 Louis Huf on 2008-02-25 14:37
This purse looks wonderful. I could use it with anything.
#94 Sandra Melnick on 2008-02-25 14:59
Mine is a medium size in black, with at least 2 comparments.
But I love purses, so I can be happy with most any of them.
Thanks for a neat contest, Love the prize !!
#95 Deborah Bozich on 2008-02-25 15:01
I'm not sur eof the brand, but I ahve this cute little green purse I picked up at Marshalls about 5 years ago and it still is intat. It is only about the size of a slice of bread, but it holds ALOT.
#96 Adrienne Gordon on 2008-02-25 15:14
My favorite purse has a long strap and is black. I buy cheap purses that have lots of sections to put items to keep it organized.
#97 Shilo on 2008-02-25 15:32
I like a purse that is big enough to fit all my necessities & a book & a bottle of water!! It has to be casual for the most part!! This one is a keeper! Thanks for the giveaway!
#98 randi on 2008-02-25 15:33
I love a big bag with lots of pockets! I 'm not in love with any of my handbags right now, which is why I'd love to win this one!
#99 Debra Ford on 2008-02-25 15:40
Well my favorite bag is my gray patent marc by marc jacobs bag. i got compliments on it constantly, it's the perfect size and adds that extra something to my monotone black outfits.
#100 jen on 2008-02-25 15:44
I love the handbag that you featured. My favorite bag is
a Stone Mountain because it has a ring to hook your keys
on and that makes it very easy to find your keys as you
know right where they are without looking all over in your
purse. Also, it has a section to store personal items that
is very handy. SAS also makes purses with the keyring
feature as I had one years ago.
#101 helen geer on 2008-02-25 15:44
I simply in love with my large brown hand bag. The straps are just long enough that I can tuck it under my arm any time I want it out of the way but its stylish enough it carry it like a hand bag should be carried. And of course my hand bag completes any outfit I put it with (I have one similar in black just in case I'm not wearing brown). My black hand bag has these straps going down the front and back that I just don't like and would love to be able to replace it however, on a student income its very difficult.
#102 Jessica N on 2008-02-25 15:48
My favorite handbag is my black reaction tote bag. It was affordable, and it's very versatile. I wear to school, to formal events, to the gym...
#103 Daphney on 2008-02-25 15:55
My brown Handbag it has a lot of front compartments and is easy organized.
#104 Renee Griffin on 2008-02-25 16:02
My favorite handbag are the Juicy Coutures! I only wish I could afford them.
#105 Regina Hershberger on 2008-02-25 16:05
My current dreambag is the Chloe Heloise bag in its medium-to-large incarnation (and in brown). It's classic enough to last a lifetime but with enough interesting details (hardware, the braided handle) that it has a contemporary feel to it.

My current favorite bag, though, is a black Dooney & Bourke large loc tote my boyfriend got me for Christmas. It's classic, it's soft, it's lovely, and it carries everything. It also fits perfectly on my shoulder and helps alleviate awkward carrying and backaches.
#106 Lynda (Homepage) on 2008-02-25 16:07
My favorite type of bag is one that is large enough to carry the essentials, but not so large that junk accumulates in it.
#107 Sue Farrell on 2008-02-25 16:17
My favorite handbag is a bag that is not too big, but has plenty of room, while looking stylish. Thanks for the giveaway.
#108 Margaret Smith on 2008-02-25 16:25
I like a handbag with lots of pockets and built-in slots for credit cards and such.
#109 Diane OBrien on 2008-02-25 16:33
Black, shoulder strap, and plenty of pockets.
#110 Jim Cincinello on 2008-02-25 16:41
Jennifer Aniston's alligator clutch from Lana Marks was my favorite. Very elegant, and exotic!

PS. I love that Vera Wang bag
#111 Michelle Prush on 2008-02-25 16:43

#112 tk (Homepage) on 2008-02-25 16:45

#125 Lisa Sibley on 2008-02-25 17:51
Love that! Hope I win!
#126 Annette Burke on 2008-02-25 17:51
I like a large shoulder bag with a few compartments. I seem to carry everything with me and it's oh-so helpful when I can actually find what I'm looking for.
#127 Gaye McGill on 2008-02-25 17:53
My favorite bag is a Birkin -- not that I have one. I love things that carry all my stuff!
#128 Campbell on 2008-02-25 17:57
I love a medium-large size bag in a neutral metallic, with an inside zipper and cell phone compartment. It needs to have some structure to it, and a zipper is a must! An outside compartment for keys would be great, too.
#129 whitney gilstrap on 2008-02-25 17:57
I love a stylish handbag that has pockets for my cell phone and sunglasses so they don't get "lost" in everything else I carry around with me, plus it helps keep my phone and sunglasses from becoming scratched.
#130 Heather on 2008-02-25 17:57
I love short handled purses!!
#131 Janet on 2008-02-25 18:00
this will be the fave if i win
#132 jffryclough on 2008-02-25 18:01
I don't have a favorite...perhaps winning this Simply Vera bag would inspire me?
#133 Brianne on 2008-02-25 18:11
my bag has to hold and hold and hold but not to big.
#134 Vergie on 2008-02-25 18:15
soft black leather handbag
#135 gina cousins on 2008-02-25 18:41

VERY SEXY..I'D RUN OUT AND GET AN OUTFIT TO MATCH
#140 JONI CHADWELL on 2008-02-25 19:23
My favorite purse is a medium size purse that fits over my shoulder.
#141 B Wilson on 2008-02-25 19:24
Anything big, comfortable and preferably in leather. I like a long strap too.
#142 Linda Moeller on 2008-02-25 19:28
Big enough for a book, bottle of water in addition to my regular stuff, but not too big to break my back!
#143 Gretchen Taylor on 2008-02-25 19:39
I love this bag. In my opinion the perfect bag is something that is practical and goes with everything.
#144 Candie on 2008-02-25 19:40
I don't have just one particular favorite handbag. I do have two handbags, one in a red kimono fabric and the other a very small black patent leather, that I quite enjoy a little more than the others. I love handbags period :-)
#145 Melissa on 2008-02-25 19:41
I like a small handbag that I can't lose stuff in.
#146 Jenny Goff on 2008-02-25 19:41
so cute!
#147 Julie Bartos on 2008-02-25 20:03
Something simple and classic. Not too big or too small.
#148 Kelly on 2008-02-25 20:04
My favorite purse is a Black Prada like te one in "The Devil Wore Prada." I change purses as often as I change my mood and I am a gemini, and that is often.
#149 ANITA DAVIS on 2008-02-25 20:08
I like bags that are big enough to hold lotsa stuff - but small enough to find stuff in it.
#150 Greg Johnson on 2008-02-25 20:09
My favorite bag ever was a Harvey's bag, kind of shaped like a lantern with a beige background covered in black lace, lined with denim inside. So sexy, but versatile and very durable-- I used it daily for years, and was so sad when I had to retire it.
#151 Ariana on 2008-02-25 20:32
I like something simple that goes with everything and fits everything in it!
#152 Erica C on 2008-02-25 20:45
I like anything in black, that is just big enough for the basics.
#153 Kathy on 2008-02-25 20:53
I love leather purses with a lot of room. Not too big, then I loose track of everything. (You can spend a lot of time looking for something in your purse- as you well know.) I love black and brown leather. I also love gold for summer!
#154 Mary R G on 2008-02-25 20:56
This purse is so cute. Just perfect for the summer!
#155 Brenda Zuniga on 2008-02-25 20:58
I can't say what is a favorite handbag since I have different colors and styles in my closet now, but I do like one that has a shoulder strap. I am so afraid that I would put one that is hand held down and forget to pick it up.
#156 Melinda Toungette on 2008-02-25 21:00
What a cool purse!
#157 Hesper Fry on 2008-02-25 21:01
I just LOVE this handbag! This is my favorite color, and is just the size I like! I would love to win this, today is my birthday, and would make a wonderful gift!
#158 Jenny on 2008-02-25 21:03
My favorite bag I have is a black and white one I found at forever 21. Its large enough to fit all my nursing gear (stethescope, drug book and clipboard) as well as my gym gear. Plus, its super cute and matches almost everything! (its black and white). I've never had the money to own a designer back though, and this one is super classy looking and cute!
#159 Serena Miller on 2008-02-25 21:10
this is a great looking purse
#160 Elna Mcrith on 2008-02-25 21:17
I have an oxblood Brahmin bag that's just big enough to hold my necessities without tempting me to carry my whole house with me.
#161 Sarah Stern on 2008-02-25 21:21
Nothing for me but my wife will take just about anything. HAHA. Thanks
#162 Mitch Brevard on 2008-02-25 21:24
this bag is simply beautiful! it would go with just about any outfit! i go to high school so this bag would be awesome to have to put my folders and book in it! love it & love it!

:-)
#163 Alyssa A (Homepage) on 2008-02-25 21:33
basic black
#164 christopher h on 2008-02-25 21:47
My favourite bag is not too small, but not too large. It has compartments so I can keep things organized. It's a neutral colour, but not boring; it has some minor detail, but not too much. It's a touch unique, but not outlandish.
#165 Caroline Morin on 2008-02-25 21:56
Wow! this purse is not only dressed up but it can also be worn dressed down. i love a versitile purse. It would be so awesome to not have to change my purse out everyday to match my outfits. This one has all the faces i need! :-)
#166 giselle estornel on 2008-02-25 21:59
I love crossbody bags! But to dress it up, a medium-size shoulder bag!
#167 MELANIA on 2008-02-25 22:03
I love the Coach barrel bag with nickel hardware. I'm so glad they offer the options of nickel and brass.
#168 ezmerelda on 2008-02-25 22:06
A free bag is the best kind
#169 Bari Vogel on 2008-02-25 22:10

#171 Margaret Talbot on 2008-02-25 22:25
My favorite purse is a black leather one that goes with just about anything I own!
#172 Jessica Cote on 2008-02-25 22:25
I love any kind of purse! especially leopard print~~
#173 kelly on 2008-02-25 22:29
My favorite bag is a medium canvas satchel with several compartments and zippers. However, it is not suitable for evening.
#174 juedy on 2008-02-25 22:33
My favorite handbag is a simple yet classic Coach shoulder bag but I would love to own this one too.
#175 Susan Ledet on 2008-02-25 22:49
Cute bag! I tend to like a square purse, a bit bigger to carry all my goodies!
#176 Angela Petersen on 2008-02-25 22:54
I end up carrying a lot of stuff for my family so I really need a large bag.
#177 Christine E. on 2008-02-25 22:55
My favorite purse is anything black, classy, and the perfect size like this one! I like to be able to carry my checkbook, my wallet, my many lipglosses, and whatever else I feel like carrying. I'm a mother to two and have to carry half the house when I leave. I need MY necessities to ALL fit into MY own bag. lol
#178 Miranda Kuskie on 2008-02-25 23:00
My favorite bag is my formal-wear New York & Co bag. It's black, simple, and stylish!
#179 Daniela Tomuta on 2008-02-25 23:10
Louis Vuitton cabas mezzo
#180 Michelle Rosborough on 2008-02-25 23:11
My favorite purse is one with lots of storage space and easy access to phone and glasses.
#181 Terri D on 2008-02-25 23:11
After going under a flatbed semi My idea of purses changed alot I like something that can swing around My back or go on My hip...so My back does not carry the weight or My shoulders BUt I love FLOWERS......because I life in Michigan and have LONG WINTERS and COLD SO COLD ........and right now My purses are ugly and old.....
#182 kay wolter on 2008-02-25 23:17
My favorite purse would have to be black and have at least 3 sections inside so I can organize my things. I don't like a huge purse but it has to be able to hold my essentials
#183 Jeanette Jackson on 2008-02-25 23:35
my favorite purse is my black coach purse! its nice to carry the things i need like my wallet, lip gloss, cell phone and keys but not much else! i'm lookin for a larger bag and this one looks perfect :-)
#184 Julie on 2008-02-25 23:35

#185 Joy Venters on 2008-02-25 23:37
I like a medium sized purse that has lots of pockets. Black and Brown are my favorite purse colors so either one is great.
#186 Bobbye F on 2008-02-25 23:38
I like big flashy purses.
#187 Paige NEsSmith on 2008-02-26 00:00
My favorite handbag is black because it goes with everything. It would also have a strap long enough to sling over my shoulder. I like bags that open easily without buckles. this one looks perfect to me.
#188 Jennifer Monteiro on 2008-02-26 00:01
I like big purses for all the clutter that I need to carry.
#189 Sabine Blanch on 2008-02-26 00:03

I like hobo bags myself, preferably in a unique color.
#194 Jennifer Jozwiak on 2008-02-26 00:43
Since I have only one purse, my Coach bag is my favorite. I carry it or my baby boy's blue camoflague diaper bag.
#195 Terri B on 2008-02-26 00:50
This bag looks like it could stay organized.
#195.1 Ginger OStean (Homepage) on 2008-02-26 01:13
The Butler Bag, anything that keeps me organized makes me feel like a winner
#196 Tracy Iglesias on 2008-02-26 00:59

#197 Andrea Evans on 2008-02-26 01:10
One that can be carried easily, please enter me.
#198 Stephen Saunders (Homepage) on 2008-02-26 01:15
My favorite purse is big enough to carry my wallet, cell phone, brush and lipstick and much more. It should have compartments to organize things and make them easy to find. It must have a strap to go over my shoulder in case I need hands free movement.
#199 kathleen yohanna on 2008-02-26 01:20
I like a big leather satchel.
#200 Linda Guss on 2008-02-26 01:33
My favorite every day bag would be anything large that I can zip open and see everything in there. A light/bright lining is also a must. An evening bag or dressy bag can be anything that is fun.
#201 KATHRYN BAKKEN on 2008-02-26 01:33
My favorite handbag right now is is a classic bone leather shoulder bag from Cole Haan.
#202 LeesaJ on 2008-02-26 01:55
I love an organizer with lots of pockets.
#203 Gillien Wright on 2008-02-26 02:01
My favorite purse is a medium sized butter soft black leather with a single shoulder strap. There are pockets for my cell and GPS on the inside. The other side has a zipper pocket. There are two outside zipper pockets and one that closes with a magnetic snap. It came with a keyring that snaps to the inside of the purse to prevent lost keys. The top zips shut with a braided leather loop pull.
#204 Suanne Giddings on 2008-02-26 02:25
I couldn't live without my leather messanger bag. I can fit my laptop and makeup in there.
#205 melissa Becker (Homepage) on 2008-02-26 02:30
my fav is a very large one that will fit everything from a cell phone to a diaper
#206 Dianna Ransom on 2008-02-26 02:36
I love black bags with slightly longer handles that I can carry over my one shoulder.
#207 Jeanine Price on 2008-02-26 02:39
I love this purse.Vera Wang is a good designer.My
favorite purse is large but not too big.Too much gets
lost in very large purses.I love black with a shoulder
strap.Thanks for the contest
#208 Charlene Kuser on 2008-02-26 03:27
My fave purse is a large black one with a zipper, it goes with everything and can hold a lot of my stuff.
#209 Jillian Sorenson on 2008-02-26 03:46
LOVE THE BAG IN YOUR GIVEAWAY. MY FAVORITE OF ALL TIME WAS A BLACK BAG WITH PADDED SHOULDER STRAPS, THE ONLY BAG WITH STRAPS THAT NEVER SLID OFF MY ROUNDED SHOULDERS. THAT WAS DECADES AGO, NEVER HAVE FOUND ANOTHER ONE SIMILAR.
#210 rebecca spiers (Homepage) on 2008-02-26 03:53
My favorite handbag looks a bit like that in the pic. Mine is smaller and the material looks wrinkly, though. Its handle is actually a chain, it looks silver but isn't. Nevertheless, it's the perfect black bag for every possible party you can imagine!
#211 Sudenmorsian on 2008-02-26 04:04
i love tote bags that are cheap and can take a beating, but it has to have a pocket on the inside for all the things that i use most. i like them cuz they can hold a lot of stuff
#212 Samantha Pruitt on 2008-02-26 04:57
Well, my favorite handbag is any that is made JUST like I like it which is proving difficult to find. I like it a little longer and not so deep with a longer shoulder strap. So many of them have the short handles and although cute, they do not work for me. Sounds easy but I have a hard time finding a nice bag.
#213 Marie Fink on 2008-02-26 05:03
I just acquired a coach and this looks better.
#214 Dawn Fiske on 2008-02-26 05:33
this one
#215 Dawn Johnson on 2008-02-26 05:37
I love handbags! My current favorite is a little red/black herringbone number with an appliqued lady walking a poodle. It was cheap but wild!
#216 Angela Palmer on 2008-02-26 05:45
My favorite handbag is not very glamorous but it fits everything that I need to lug around on a daily basis.
#217 Erin Daly on 2008-02-26 06:11
What a pretty purse. Currently My favorite bag is a red/yellow/tan/brown tweed bag with brown leather handles and accents. It isn't a name brand. Still, it is unique and fits my quirky personality.
#218 Tari Lawson on 2008-02-26 06:41
I love my Prada bag my husband bought me in new york.
#219 maureen hunt on 2008-02-26 06:42
this is my favorite handbag because my girlfriend loves it and if i win this contest and surprise her with it life will be golden.
#220 patrick moran on 2008-02-26 06:43
I hate every handbag that I own right now so I don't even have a favorite. I tend to use them way too long and they look like crap by the time I get a new one. I love the bags I see in celebrity magazines that they carry! Wow, those are fantastic!
#221 Elizabeth on 2008-02-26 06:50
My favorite is a Falachi alligator that is way old. Big old briefcase large flap bag with embossed alligator printed into the leather. Carried it forever and loved it, still do.
#222 B B on 2008-02-26 06:54
My favorite bag may be The Butler Bag I just got delivered yesterday, but give me time, I haven't tested it yet!
#223 trish on 2008-02-26 06:59
I think this is a lovely purse. My favorite is my bucket bag in red leather with metal studs.
#224 Karen M on 2008-02-26 07:09
Very nice purse! This is something that I really need. I don't have a favorite purse because I have owned maybe one or two purses in the last 20 years.
#225 Nicole Hauck on 2008-02-26 07:16
I like medium size bags. Large enough to carry the necessities with me plus room for a book and water bottle also.
#226 Sherrie Maner on 2008-02-26 07:17
I love the purse
#227 trudee carreiro on 2008-02-26 07:18
I have a navy blue tote that is getting threadbare from so much use but it is just the perfect bag for me. It holds everything I need to carry plus all I don't!
#228 Tina Rath on 2008-02-26 07:34
My favorite purse is the Hayden purse~Dooney & Bourke
#229 Kirsten on 2008-02-26 07:34
i like a medium size bag that will go with just about anything.
#230 Vicky Boackle on 2008-02-26 07:36
my favorite has to be my pink tommy bag, its so cool, not as roomy as i'd like but i wear a lot of black and my favorite color combo is black and pink
#231 Theresa Wagner on 2008-02-26 07:47
Great purse.
#232 Cathy on 2008-02-26 08:06

#237 Delie Mcrith on 2008-02-26 08:18
I love purses so I don't really have a favorite. I love all shapes, sizes, colors, styles. I just love them all ----I am addicted!!! I don't have any that look like this one it is awesome!!!
#238 Jennifer Williams on 2008-02-26 08:18
When I win, this will be my favorite handbag!!!!
#239 Mary Boldin on 2008-02-26 08:20
My favorite bag is my Coach- it's the one I use now. It's small and holds just what I need. Liove the corners how they're duel protected. I've had it forever!
#240 denyse on 2008-02-26 08:22
Coach!
#241 Lynn Harasym on 2008-02-26 08:24

#242 Tisa on 2008-02-26 08:33
I don't have a favorite per say--I love to get whatever catches my eye. I really like this bag and would love to win it. Thank you for the contest!
#243 Donna Hunt on 2008-02-26 08:34
my favorite bag is my nine west red bag with a big buckle with red rhinestones on it. I have gotten tons of compliments on it and it's the perfect size, smaller but big enough to fit everything.
#244 Diana on 2008-02-26 08:42
My favorite bag is a messenger style one, it is actually a washable material on the outside, which is partly why I like it, because I can wipe it down when it gets dirty. It's black and grey so goes with everything. I really need something new for dressy times though. Thanks for the chance.
#245 Tamara on 2008-02-26 08:46
very pretty bag, love the color and the design.
#246 kathy taylor on 2008-02-26 08:50
My favorite purse is my black kate spade pia.
#247 Erika Sternberg (Homepage) on 2008-02-26 08:50
My favorite is a black hobo coach. I have bought new purses but keep going back to black.
#248 Karla Kinney on 2008-02-26 08:54
a big black 'hobo' bag that I've had for years...but will be happy to replace it with this :-)
thanks!
#249 Sharon Jones on 2008-02-26 08:55
Favorite bag is made of soft leather, has a zippered top, many pockets, and a shoulder strap.
#250 D. on 2008-02-26 08:57
I love big roomy handbags. My favorite is my new mahongany Coach. :-)
#251 Stacey Bradley on 2008-02-26 09:04
I like a mediul sized bag with just a few zippered pockets in my favorite places to stow things.
#252 Nanette Olson (Homepage) on 2008-02-26 09:06
My favorite handbag I have is a Gucci. But I would love to own this Vera Wang giveaway. Thank You.
#253 Cheryl English on 2008-02-26 09:06
i love bags my favorites are large bags with a lot of pockets
#254 shirley thompson on 2008-02-26 09:14
My favorite bag (right now) is a hard-sided tote of a material like upholstery, that is covered with butterfies. It has a zipper & one pocket. But, I'd sure like to win this one!
#255 Theresa Elliott on 2008-02-26 09:17
I love all kinds of bags but my fav style is a med size with few partitions a clip or snap closure. I like rooting around to find what I am looking for.
#256 MARILOUISE K on 2008-02-26 09:18
This is so awesome. Goes with anything.
#257 Carol on 2008-02-26 09:20
I don't have a favorite, but I tend to gravitate toward black bags with enough room to hold all my stuff. With 3 kids, I need to be prepared for everything.
#258 Catrina Pomerleau on 2008-02-26 09:24
Not too small (I have lots of stuff) and
not too large (or husband loads me up with his stuff too!!!)
#259 M.A. on 2008-02-26 09:34
anything big enough to hold all my crap :-)
#260 kathy pease on 2008-02-26 09:38
My biggest splurge on a purse was a Perlina I bought last year. It was the softest purse and I loved it. It had a spot for everything and I was finally organized. It had silver tabs in the arm straps and they all came out. I was so disappointed. I hope to win. Thanks.
#261 Amy Prohaska on 2008-02-26 09:39
My favorite bag is lightweight, roomy, and has just enough pockets to hold my special things but not so many that things get lost in my bag!
#262 Celeste (Homepage) on 2008-02-26 09:45
Because I have a 4 month old along with a diaper bag, I carry a small purse that is easy to carry along with everything that goes along with having an infant.
#263 Jennifer on 2008-02-26 09:51
"GREART" Handbag my sister would love to have one for her birthday.
#264 Allen Bivins on 2008-02-26 10:17
My favorite bag is made of soft leather, has a zippered top, many pockets, and a shoulder strap.
#265 Aliesa on 2008-02-26 10:20
Beautiful purse! It would go with just about anything!
#266 Lori on 2008-02-26 10:26
this one if i win I lov black
#267 cathi rushing on 2008-02-26 10:29
My favorite handbag is ruined and I keep it anyway. It is soft, cognac leather, satchel-style with a zipper closure and a zipper pocket in front (now stained by printer toner...sad story). There is one wide strap (sooo comfortable) with braided detail. I have it still...

Love the Vera Wang handbag! It looks cute and classy. Thanks!
#268 JJean on 2008-02-26 10:35
I don't think I can pick a favorite. I love them all!!
#269 Stephanie Kinchen on 2008-02-26 10:37
This would be a great purse to win. Thanks for having the contest!
#270 Bev on 2008-02-26 10:38
i hope i win
#271 Tia Carter on 2008-02-26 10:41
thank you! I love just about any bag!
#272 beth shepherd on 2008-02-26 10:45
My favorite handbag is my SAK that I purchased in Los Angeles when I lived there. I've had it for years, thrown it in the washer, and it still looks brand new. I have many favorites, but always go back to that one. Hope I win!
#273 Sandy M (Homepage) on 2008-02-26 10:47
The best bag is one that can carry my things and a few things for my toddler so I don't have to carry a diaper bag!
#274 Elizabeth Dehart on 2008-02-26 10:49
just a nice big hobo, made out of really nice soft leather.
#275 Alice on 2008-02-26 10:52
My favorite handbag is one that is big enough to carry all my stuff. ;0p
#276 Lily Kwan on 2008-02-26 10:53
I don't carry a handbag, but I'd love to start!
#277 Mya Brooks on 2008-02-26 10:54
My favorite handbag...that's a tough one. But I do tend to like bigger bags- I really like messenger style bags when I know I'm going to be out all day. I'm fond of the LeSport Tokidoki line, and I've seen quite a few Hype handbags I wouldn't mind owning ;-) I've actually been shopping for a new classic/simple black bag, so this one would be great! Thanks for the chance to win :-D
#278 Brandy on 2008-02-26 11:09
That's a beautiful bag! I have a lot of favorites--and they are all leather, classically styled, with lots of room inside. Thanks for the contest!
#279 Elena on 2008-02-26 11:16
My favorite bag is one my sister got me - it's small enough to hold just some credit cards, id, and cash, yet has a part where if you unzip it, it opens into a much larger bag. It's great for carrying (on a shoulder strap) on trips where I just don't want to carry a big bag.
#280 Linda Ellis on 2008-02-26 11:21
My favorite handbag is a black, leather Mickey Mouse disney bag (since I am a kid at heart). I must admit though, I think it's time for me to grow up. That's why this bag would come in handy!
#281 vanessa hunter on 2008-02-26 11:24
I love that bag!
#282 Julia Magrath on 2008-02-26 11:24
Light weight, shoulder straps, lot of zipper pockets and soft leather would be nice.
#283 Diane S. on 2008-02-26 11:32
Simple smallish size bag with short hands is what I prefer.

One of my favorite bags is made of soft leather, has a zippered top, many pockets, and a shoulder strap.
